    If it is coming from a 40 A circuit ... then it needs to go into a disconnect rated at 40 A .. then you can use 15 or 20 A breaker to feed the lights

    Yup .. works the same ... I would use 230 for calculations ... reason is 120 .. isn't ALWAYS 120 ..it varies ..... distance to source, time of day etc.... I've seen 117 in the morning and 113 in the afternoon 220/240 works on phase A and Phase B cycles ..110 +110 = 200 117 -117 = 234 ...

    By code ... any electrical device within 6 ft of WATER .. must be GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor) protected ... It's there to protect people ..in case a Hair dryer falls into the bathtub (just an example ) or to keep you from being electrocuted if you are standing in water

    2 x 1000 + 400 /240 = 10 amps u need to total wattages for your 110V circuit and divide by 110 .. but 20 A circuit is PROB'LY OK Digital (electronic) ballasts are more expensive .. give off less heat .. are quieter .and use slightly less current ... your call not sure what u mean by...

    What soil pH should I aim for?

    Where I live ... the water company goes to great lengths to keep Municipal water supply at 7.0 ... rain water is usually pretty close to 7.0 .. unless you are in areas prone to Acid rain which is generally about the same as tomato juice ... 6.5 to 6.8

    U need to add up your total wattage and divide by 110 to determine amps used .. changing a 15 amp receptacle to a 20 A receptacle doesn't keep you from tripping breakers ..

    Sex of regular seeds

    U will see preflowers right after it gets to alternating nodes ... then u can cut lights for a few days (if u need to ) and see definite Pistils or stamens .. there are threads here for determining sex .. but I can't find one right now haha

    Sex of regular seeds

    I would guess they will be about half female and half male .. but with a sample of 20 .. u could have a deviation of three or four either way ... out of fifty seeds I have grown .. I would guesstimate that thirty were female .. maybe I'm just lucky Curious to see how many you get
