ya green crack is commercial yield for sure ( from what ive heard )

I have some questions

dude ur electrical panel array is very clean. thanks for showin us how its done. but ....is it excessive?
why did u use so many c clamps? Why do you need a switch for each outlet, when u could just unplug it from the sentinel ( or from the outlet )?

im an electrical newb

I have 34 yrs electrical experience - licensed since '79 Excellent electrical man - that would be a nightmare if it were just plugged into a bunch of strips. I like the labeling job - first rate.

thank u for reply, but...
why did he not use light switches on the cap light controller side with the lights if it would be a nightmare? He only used them on the sentinel controller side...

i didnt say strips, i said outlets :D

thanks buds ,i put about $800 to $1000 into the panel so far and i was goin to use 8 2 pole 20 amp switches for each light but it takes to much room , i used the switches for each outlet for convenience and so its not puting constant wear on the controller outlets ! ( so if im cleaning the cooltubes i can shut off exhaust) and its good to have more then 1 outlet for exhaust , im running 3 6' fans for exhaust and 1 intake on the exhaust outlet on the controller ( controller is rated for 15 amps so be careful u dont over load) the master shut off kills the both controllers , c clamps make it look clean ,,,

What are you using for a timer? I'd like to get something I can rely on to never fail me. I've got those cheap mechanical ones right now, they are ok so long as you don't have a power outage

Hey man. Props again on the setup...Great job on the electrical.

How do you like that Sentinel EVC-1? I have the exact same C.A.P. MLC-8XT as you. Been looking into an environmental controller for a while. Looked at the the Sentinel CHHC-4, the iPonic 600, and the Agrowtek GC-C. Still haven't plled the trigger yet cause I have a 5 ton Chillking Air Handler and no matter who I talk to at any of the companies no one has been able to give me a straight answer as to whether I can control the seperate thermostat and humidistat controls on my Air Handler with their Environmental Controller. Not sure I really need one if I can't control the humidity and room temp without it. You have a lot of experience with that Sentinel? How do you like it? Do you have your A/C hooked up to it? What type of A/C? My supplier has offered to send me any one of them to test out for free. Problem is I still have no idea which one would give me the best shot at getting everything hooked up to it.

Sorry for the questions man; I know this is your thread and all. Just don't run into many guys running legit electrical setups and full environmental controllers on RIU.
