Would it be safe to run this all on one circuit?
its a 15 amp circuit

intake fan .68 amps (no watts listed)
grow room fan .8 amps (no watts listed)
water pump ran twice day 15 minutes 25 watts (no amps listed)
Air pump 2w
light 1000w 9.5 amps
exhaust 1.4 amps 170w
this seem to be safe for 1 breaker?

exhaust ,light air pump ran 24 hours

yea i think you should be cool, but seems like you are right around the maxium ampage for that circuit, i would try not to add anymore watts to it. For reference i hade a 25 amp circuit and was running over 30 amps on it and was just fine all the way through a 3 1/2 month grow, but obvisioally this is not recommended, but if somehting would happen and it was too much stress on it you would defiently notice, breaker tripping or something of the sort.

What matt said. You are close to your safe circuit usage max which is 12 amps. 80% of the circuit rating.

just get in the attic, or under the carpet, and run an extension cord from one of the other circuits in your house.
