besides airflow, the fans help make the plants move & that causes them to grow thicker stems so they can hold up heavier buds. I didn't use fans my first grow & had to stake up the plants to keep them from falling over.

got a multimeter? you can check the cap fairly easy. discharge it by shorting the terminals together & unplug the wires. set your meter to ohms scale and touch leads to terminals. your resistance should start low and climb if good. be careful of the cap! it will hold several hundred volts even...

not likely but cords can go bad.more likely is either the capacitor or ingnitor. first check the lampholder. unplug the ballast,unscrew the bulb, check to make sure you unplugged the ballast.if you can unplug the wire from the ballast to the light.if not check again to make sure you unplugged...

several yrs ago a buddy gave me a misquito dunk.its a little donut shaped thing that you put in standing water around your property to kill misquitoes. just a little bit in a glass of water next to your plants will kill gnats in a few days. most hardware stores sell them heres what I mean...

no price difference between a 15 amp and 20 amp breaker but 12 gauge wire is alot more expensive than 14 gauge so its very likely the wiring is 14 gauge so you wont be able to use a 20 amp breaker. only reason I can think of to use a 15 amp breaker on a 12gauge wire is if the guy ran out of 20...

please dont replace the 15 amp breaker w/ a 20. that is a fire waiting to happen. if you want to go to a 20 amp breaker, you will have to replace the all the wiring on that circuit.

2 20 amp circuits should be fine. put the space heater all by itself on 1 circuit figure 300 watts for lights plus PC plus at most 200 watts for a fan(an extreme high quesstimate for a 12 volt fan) gives you about 1250 watts or 11 amps.you could get away w/ adding a 400 watt light & still have a...

if you use an extension cord,make sure it is heavy duty. 12 gauge or larger and no longer than needed

120 x120 inches or cm? old rule of thumb for HPS is 50-100 watts per square foot.you could use 2 600 watt lights. the fan will be iffy but if the ducting is mainly straight w/ few if any sweeping bends, you should be OK

read my post again about cords. feel the cord after a couple hours of use,if it is warm to the touch,its too small & a hazard next, Growfine is being an ass? considering you already had a fire due to your lack of understanding,you DO NEED someone to scare the shit out of you. didn't the fire do...

make sure your timer can handle the load of the heater. maybe run the heater on a low setting. a timer is a short term fix. you are still running dangerously close to the max on that circuit.

1st ditch the PC as stated above a growroom is no place for it you need to do something w/ the spaceheater & air purifier -each draws more than the circuit can handle.get them on seperate breakers.they each need a dedicated breaker. as for extension cords, anything that draws near 10 amps or...

long as your attic has god ventilation, you should be good. condensation can build up otherwise

1st why do you need to be on other half of same breaker? find an outlet near the garage that doesn't have a heavy load & use that. this isn't a fix, just a way to determine what is causing the problem.it sounds like you will need a new circuit run to the garage a forced air heater will draw at...

here is the type of timer I was talking about http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100685853/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 your heater has only 2 wires plus ground because that is all it needs.plugs have a 4th wire to add a neutral for appliances that also need...

N.America or Europe? different electric systems matter your 1k light will draw about 10 amps( if US), your fans & pumps will draw a few more. anything else on that circuit? garage lights? sounds like you are running the circuit at max all the time.a temp flux could cause the light or fan to draw...

20 amps of 220 (or 240) will give you about 4000 watts but for safety, stay under 3500 watts so 4 600watts lights will be fine.- a 600 draws more than 600 watts, a digital will draw 650 & an old mag type will draw a little over 700 watts. 220 in N.America is made up from 2 110v legs that are...

google DC to AC power converter. hundreds of places sell them. the more power to convert,the pricier they get you may have a long wait. -Bricktown has not posted in over a year. why not ask here? someone might be able to help

the best RF shielding wont help if you don't have a good ground. when digital ballasts 1st came out several yeas ago, RF interference was common & the best solution was to properly ground the ballast and if needed replace the cords w/ shielded cable.
