im looking at one for the veg and one for the flower room? anyone have a set up as hi tech as what im looking for? , it says its rated for 15 amps. will that be good enough to run 6x 600's or 6x 1000's? my veg will have 6x 600's and my flower 6 1000's in phase two of the project. phase one it will be half that 3 600's and 3 1000's ..let me know what you think! thanks

If theres one piece of advice I can live and die by in this industry.... STAY AWAY FROM ANY C.A.P. Products...... They are JUNK!!! They fail CONSTANTLY, short out, stick etc... ALL of their stuff.... CO2 Monitors, CO2 Generators especially.... And you have to send it back, they fix it, and send it back to you refurbished... only for it to happen again... and again... Sentinnel is what you want

Yeah, I'm not a fan of CAP.

I am going to try out the sentinel MDT-1, CHHC-4. You will probably need a second timer if you are running both the veg and flower room lights. I am going to use the Powerbox DPC-12000d. It can run up to 12 x 1000w lights. It has two banks of 6 x 1000w outlets, so you can run veg and flower on different timers.

I just ordered the CHHC-4, for $472 shipped.

thehydrosource.com has a coupon code "THS80" that is good for $80 off an order of $500 or more until May 31. I am going to end up ordering over $1000, so I spit it up into multiple $500 orders so I can use the coupon code and get $80 off each order.

i have had no problems with my CAP AIR-4 controller. it keeps my bud room cool and dry. I only have yet to fully use the temp and humidity outlets. I built my own light controller and flip box tho. i run my lights on 240v so im able to cut my amps in half. i prefer hydrofarm raptor hoods over the cap XXX or whatever it is

I believe he is talking about the CO2 Monitors.... and if they are by C.A.P., they blow ass... I have 2 raptors as well, they are what I started with..... I now own the same 2 Raptors, and 8 more Magnum XXL's (which are by Sun System not C.A.P.), and they are way better.... Raptors are bulky, heavy, an absolute BITCH to change the lamp (cuz you gotta unscrew the whole glass to get to it whereas the Magnums are 2 finger nuts, and then it hangs ope conveniently), and finally, the Raptor offers no more spectrum than the XXL's.... Go with Sentinnel
