    Lowering Amps

    they will only lower the amps between the converter & the device drawing power. if you are powering a 1000 watt light,the draw will only be about 5 amps of 220 from the light to the converter. the converter will still draw 10 amps from the 110 outlet to "make" the 220.accually it wil draw more...

    stuck for plant space

    flower what you have going and then start the new seeds. your lack of lighting will dictate how much weight you will get more so than the number of plants so why waste the seed

    150w mh timer problem

    2 bad timers? not likely. try plugging it into a different outlet w/ something else on it.a small radio or clock. a 150 watt light wont draw much so even the cheapest timer should be ok to use.

    Wiring a floodlight to a mains plug?

    the above is correct advise if you lived in N.America but since you are on the other side of the pond it will be a little different. brown is your hot instead of black & blue will be the same as our white. not sure but I believe you will also have a fuse in the plug that will have to be large...

    New To Growing could use a littel help

    soil or hydro is an old argument around here.for a 1st timer,I would suggest it comes down to you.if you are meticulous and pay attention to details, hydro will come easy. on the other hand, if you are not a perfectionist, soil is more forgiving. as a side note,personal skill & enviroment will...

    terror in the growroom, burnt out lamps, burnt popcorn smell.

    because you say it is affecting the entire house,my guess is that it is before your breaker box.call your local power company,they will come out & check wiring from pole to fusebox & confirm everything is OK.if they dont find the problem, start at the breaker & work to your lights checking every...

    i just have a question, need advice!!!!

    how about scrounging up an old kitchen cupboard or 2? mine are 14x26x30.mount them high where they would be out of the way & light them w/ cfls. you could fit 3-4 small plants in each. a pc fan at the top & passive vent at bottom(need a light trap) should give enough venting.

I will also assume the fan will be off when the light goes out. should not be a problem, they use large HPS lights for streetlights, right? they may not use fans but the ones I have seen...

    not possible, a voltage converter will draw more juice than the appliances alone. if you are drawing 12 amps at 110 & find a converter that jumps power to 220. your draw on the the converter will be only 6 amps but it will still take 12 amps of 110 to produce it.accually more because no...

    for that much light you will need a dedicated circuit or 2 to that room. a 20 amp 220 circuit would be ideal.

    just to make sure I understand, you have a new 200 amp panel w/ a 50 amp sub w/ all new wires for your grow.I assume the wiring leading to your panel is correct as it has been inspected. in the house itself, lights in the house dim/flicker when you turn on an appliance. my guess is that it is...
