If you do not know 100% absolutely positively sure what you are doing stay the fuck out of the breaker box. There is many a dead "I am an electrician" laying in the ground. I doubt you want your house to burn down either.

I'd order a Lumatek digital from bghydro.com. They are excellent, offer great customer service, and stand behind their products in the event you have a problem.

They have timers for your light as well.

I have yet to do s.o.g or ScroG, but you are on the right track with the rooted clones. You'll still want to veg them some though. There is a member here (cant remember name) who is a s.o.g god. His yields were massive. I think he vegged to 10-12" then put in screen. If I can think of name I'll post you a link later. He had it down to a science.

running the new line and adding the breaker to the breaker box was fairly simple....didnt take that long... shut off main breaker...this shut down rest of box but doesnt shut down the main lines coming in box, these lines are still hot and getting hit with 240 volts 110 per line would definetly kill your ass....as long as your carefull to not make contact with the two main lines into your service box your ok... hooked ground up first.....then neutral...then hot line into new breaker and snapped in place....put cover back on.... ran line to room to a junction box .... two lines out of junction for seperate gfci outlets.... turned power back on and checked gfci outlets and all work properly.... i read a few books about what i was getting into and followed step by step procedure and all is working well...im still here and not a charred piece of bacon....and everything is working propely and a ok
