I checked my wiring and it is yellow. That should mean I'm good to go right?

Thank you for this. When I get home tonight I'll try to figure out my amps and check to see what kind of wiring is already in place. I won't be using any of my growing equipment until I can make sure it's safe. Definitely isn't worth a fire.

Thanks for letting me know this! My uncle suggested that we use the 20 amp instead of the 15 when he was putting it in. I don't know anything about wiring myself but it seemed like he knew what he was doing and actually suggested upgrading it. Is there a way I can check the wires myself to see...

When I got home last night I turned everything on so I could see exactly what is running on the breaker. I noticed my hall light and main bathroom light is also on the breaker connected to my bedroom. I didn't notice anything other than those lights though. I swapped out my surge protector for...

Hello everyone! I'm getting ready to start my first grow and I'm running into an issue with my breaker flipping from my ballast turning on. Last night I received my ballast (apollo 400w kit from amazon) and plugged it in to test it. The mh bulb it came with flashed on and then off and stayed...
