Hey Beech, how much you think it would cost for supplies for such a project or to have someone do it? Guessing it's about 50' from the main panel to the shed where a subpanel would go. will need enough electric to run a window ac, 1600w hps & about 1500w of actual power draw for led/fluorescents, co2 tank/meter, several fans and not insigificant o3 generator (it tripped my circuit quite a few times in the past when there was a lot of electric in that room but nothing else was causing that). Wish I had extra harvest funds it'd be no problem i'd just get an electrician out here and get it done quick and right... i'm sure from what's involved it isn't going to be cheap... some guy who did a similar project on youtube said his parts alone were around $500 and that didn't include labor, which'll probably include a 50' trench for the power line. Why does running a great grow op take such effort?
Shoulda planned better I guess but I was never really planning on doing quite this large of a sustained grow at the time... now that i've got all those plants going even though i don't wanna do the 12/12 swap again i don't want to go back to a much smaller grow
the space out there would let me keep up the same size grow without swapping in 12/12 and essentially the same amount of flower space (9 1/2 x 5 1/2) (current is 6'x4'). Shed also has an exhaust vent at the top I'm sure I might be able to tie an hps exhaust into somehow...
there are also a couple exhaust vents on the side i could probably rig too if needed or block off if i don't... gonna have to seal it up as much as possible, add more/better locks (has a simple padlock but not that sturdy if someone were trying to get in), maybe paint it white inside... it'll be a pretty huge fucking project that would take a couple weeks to get done (with the amount of time i can devote). i definitely won't have the $$ to have electric work done for at least 3 weeks.... fence still needs to be repaired though and not sure when that will happen. worst case scenario I make due where it is now for another month+ til I start getting some extra funds... i really don't want to wait that long though.
