    How many watts/lights can i put

    that is the max you can run but for safety, try to keep loads at 80% so if you are running at 220, 3800watts or less is your goal. your lights will draw 3800 watts but the ballasts will draw 20-100 watts each so you will be maxed out but it should be OK.I would use 2-3 different timers(timers...

    Any Electritions in the house ?

    you may have to add a jumper between the live and the switched live.the idea behind 2 lives is to have power to the fan all the time so that when the switched live gets power(turn the bath light on), the fan turns on, when the switched live gets turned off(turn bath light off), the fan will run...

    Room fuse keepings tripping..wtf.... losing power

    assuming you are in the US, the AC will draw about 10 amps& the light another2-3 amps so you are fully loading that circuit befor you add the fans. you will need to move the AC to another outlet on a fuse not used by much else. make sure your extension cord is rated for heavy duty use.

    Ideas for starting seeds/light veging

    switching to 220 will not save you any money. electricity is billed per kilowatt, not per amp. cheapest/easiest way to start 10 seedling till they get to be a foot tall would be w/ cfls. start w/ 1-2 24 watt bulbs and add as they get taller.
