Shit, I'm so bummed right now. I just started my first, LEGAL medical grow. I'm using a 1000W HPS that a friend gifted me. I was a little worried that might be a bit much since I'm in an old 1930s house with pretty shitty wiring! And I was correct.

Today, I was running the HPS and my GF put some popcorn in the microwave and BAM, everything stops... microwave, fridge, HPS! I go out to the circuit breaker and flip all of the circuits. That circuit will not come back on!!! I'm freaked out! I don't know shit about electricity, but I can tell at this point it's beyond my abilities to fix!

I'm in a rental house so it's not that easy. This is a legal, medical grow but I think my landlord would kick me out. There was nothing in the lease about it, but she may still be able too... I'm operating under that assumption. What do you think I should do?? I'd rather not call my landlord and I can't sacrifice these few plants. Do you know of any things I can do to try to fix it? There's no visible signs of anything fried. I'm thinking about just calling an electrician... Do you know how much it would cost to replace a fried circuit? It's only the one circuit... I've got the fridge on an extension cord to the living room!

Any advice appreciated...
