having a electrician

[stickinnc]

come out and wire everything to my room for all my lights,fans,,ect will be on a seperate breaker. I am going to have a veg box and a flower box. What Amps are you drawing with a big set up? Both my boxes will be 4 ft wide 6 ft tall 3 ft deep. I want to make sure the electrician goes overboard so there will be no chance of a fire or tripping the breaker all the time.

if you are already on a 15 amp breaker
1 600 watt of flower
1 200 watts of veg
1 300 watts of fans and extra components for exhaust and ventilation

around 1100 watts of power
15 amp breaker is good for about 1800 watts and 80% of its power is good for about 1400 watts of power(dont want to exceed over 80% power much)

no electrition needed unless you want more hid lighting

Simple way to figure, decide what you want to run.
Count up all the amps on your equipment.
Add 10% for safety.
Don't run anything else on that circuit!

Run, just like Tex said, only up to 80% of the rated capacity (yes, AFTER the first 10% lol! no cheating!) of the breaker on each circuit you are using. You DO end up with surges running grow equipment, and this wiggle room will keep your home safe.
