I have a 630Watt CMH light fixture, im doing a closet grow and my apartment has literally 3 electricity outlets. So my question is can a extension cord plugged into a power strip handle a 630Watt CMH system + a ipower carbon filter inline fan combo? Please help i dont wanna blow up these expensive bulbs or even worse cause a fire!

Hm.... Another arrogant person.
I was giving you "help" if you werent so negative.
In just letting you know,those cheapy filters, DO NOT WORK.
There's a reason Phresh, Can, Rhino and other name brand Carbon Filters ARE so much $.
They Actually WORK.

Lol. Because they wanted your money. Here, you'll get the truth. Out there,people will tell you what you want to hear. I promise you, a $30-50 carbon filter will do nothing for a stinky tent or space. You'll just have to live and "learn" I guess.
I'm trying to stop you from falsely believing that it will do what it's supposed to.
When you do eventually upgrade, I recommend Phresh Filters.

On a lighter note I do agree with air walk in regard to the filter I brought a shit scrubber and a shit fan if I had listened to people in the first place would have saved money as I had to buy twice .
There are loads of extension leads that will cope with that power that come with safety cut off and breakers safety always comes first gd luck with your project
Peace ✌

it depends on the extension cord, the power strip, and the outlet.
if you got at least medium duty extension cord and power strip you should be more than fine.
but your apartment only has 3 outlets? does it have a power box somewhere showing all the different circuit breakers?

If there is too much load on that circuit the breaker should trip. Make sure the extension cord and power strip are rated for the amperage of the circuit breaker. Wouldn't want a heavy load on a 20 amp circuit with a 14 gauge (15 amp) extension cord.
