You don't need a light controller for all the little stuff, just a circuit breaker protected power strip. If some or all of those items need to be off for part of the day, put them on a timer.

ok I bought this light controller and it said to use a 30amp but can that be correct. I would think 4000k would need a bigger amp

You can run 4000 on 30 amp 240v. I had one of those running on 30 amp breaker...for years. When you step up to 8 light relays is when you need the bigger 50 amp breaker slot.

So what size breaker should I get and should it be a double?

30 and 50 are double. Need 2 slots in your fuse panel.

Its not hard. Just turn off mains breaker and have at it. Its when I need a bigger fuse panel itself that I call in a sparky for a new grow spot. After a bigger fuse box panel is in..he can leave and let me do my thing.

I'm using the romex 240 wire running to the circuit panel. That's 2 hot wires 1 ground and 1white. So shouldn't it be a double?

So I started my first official grow a couple of weeks ago. Started with 6 seedling 3 sour diesel haze autos and 3 amnesia haze autos. One of the amnesias didn't make it out so my original plan to run 3 2gals went out the door so I swapped to 3 gals to make up for the loss of one plant. I'm kind of worried my one Phantom 315 isn't going to suffice but if I don't train at all I figured it would be alright. I'm also unsure of the feeding on autos so I've also included the feeding chart which recommends 1/2 strength nutes the entire lifecycle. I'm open to constructive criticism and guidance to bigger and better yields.

In 7 3x3 room
Wich is better 14 cmh 315 or 7 cmh 630?
Or maybe is a little overkill and only 7 315?
The heat is not a problem.
Thank you

You only need a single 315 per 3x3 room. So seven 315's would be perfect for you.

3 rows with seven 315W CMH each. You'll have room for 2 aisles about 50cm wide.
