start w/ a book on basic home wiring. besides boxes,romex wire & the outlets, you will need breakers that fit your box.get the name off the breaker box or bring a breaker w/ you. if your within 10 feet of the panel, each circuit will run you about $20 -depending on price of breaker,some oddball...

1- I wouldn't worry until you get over 4-5k of lights for that size place ;) 2-I used a PC fan for a couple yrs on a 400 MH but it had no obstructions (carbon filter)in the short straight duct. the more obstructions, the better the fan has to be. 3-it depends on your required level of security...

I will 2nd the suggestion for 600 watt lights. an old rule of thumb for HPS is 50-100 watts per square foot. over 100 watts will see diminished returns- jumping from 100 watts to 180 will not give as big an increase as going for 50 to 75watts per sq ft. you will see an improvement if your plants...

I would consider putting the 2 1k lights on a 220 circuit, same for AC if possible or if not, run 3 20 amp 110 circuits.1 for ea light & 1 for AC. use the existing outlets for fans & ect. dont put both lights on a single 20amp 110 circuit as you will be maxing it out & startup draw will blow the...

you do mean to add a 20 amp breaker & wiring & not swap the 15 for a 20 right? the hard part will be to get a wire from your breaker box to the room. a detailed how to w/ all the info you need will fill a small book so your best bet is to pick a book up on basic home wiring from a lowes or home...

N. America or Europe? it makes a big different.I assume N.America - if not, disregard this post as most of it wont pertain to you. if you are using extension cords, make sure they are heavy duty-12 or 14 gauge,and no longer than needed - dont use a 100 foot cord when a 15 foot 1 will do. what...

a- add a alum pie plate under the pots and water till it is full, the excess water will be sucked back up into the soil b- put a bucket of water next to the pots w/ a piece of cloth going from bottom of bucket to the soil.the water will wick over.the larger the cloth the faster it will wick. c-...

be careful if you are using MG w/ time release nutrients. the nutes desolve w/ water so overwatering will cause them to break down faster & can cause nuteburn. the MG organic is good stuff but either way, add some perlite.

4000 watts of light plus fans,ac, ect would be a big deal in a small studio apartment but 25,000 watts would not be noticed in a 9000 sq ft mansion. my bill dropped $75 a month when my oldest daughter moved out. that's about what adding 2 600 watt lights would run in my area. like said above...

an old rule of thumb is 1 gram per watt under ideal conditions.

I agree about venting into the basement to save heat but if you don't want to do that, finish the boiler room off & put a passive intake in it. you dont need to drywall. a layer of plastic around the 2x4 framing would work(and a layer for the door). add a dryer vent in the room to allow fresh...

paint the box w/ flat white paint, it doesn't get any cheaper as for a warm place to start seeds, got any electronic devices? a dvd player,old vcr? I do clones and seeds on an old sat dish reciever.

when it comes to organic ferts, u are correct however,chemical ferts CAN burn a plant. you will find hundreds of photos of burnt plants here in this forum.

an engine hoist? how about removing the ballast from the fixture to lighten up the load that hangs? the ballast can be set lower. check out these threads https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/130848-diy-how-remote-ballast-hps.html...

yellow will be positive but the controller draws 2.8 amps so few transformers will be able to handle it. you will need something like a laptop power supply. see here https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/385722-about-pc-fans.html

general rule of thumb is 50-100 watts per square foot.

What nutes? I would recomend organic as it is very hard to burn from overuse & I feel has a better taste when done. what height? plants will double in size so switch to 12/12 before they reach 1/2 way up your cab.

they will use the same ballast,cap & ignitor as a "real" grow light. in fact, if purchased by the military,they are probably advanced or philips brand ballasts. the gov always specs nothing but the best & is willing to pay above top $$ to get it. the "pro" grow lights you buy at a hydrostore...

are you sure the stairs dont go to the master house? it could have a trapdoor like to your apartment. be worth trying to secure it so no one can open it from the other side.
