Make sure that you have a "dedicated" circuit that you can plug in to. That means that nothing else is running off that circuit or your breaker will trip. It would also help if you have the means to have a 240 outlet wired to plug into but its not a must as long as you have just the light plugged into the outlet. The 240 lets your ballast run your light more efficiently and on higher setting. It will also use less electricity
drew225 Reviewed by drew225 on . First time growing am I doing anything right?? Please look My plants are about 5 weeks old. 12 I started from seeds and 2 clones were donated to me. Im groing with a 1000w mh bulb in a grow tent. The plants I started from seed look ok, (I think) and are nice and green, but the clones look a little wilted and sickley, with the bottom leaves looking yellowish. I was told that the clones are about a month old. I transplanted them just recently into a bigger pot and the roots apeared healthy. (I think the pot was too small for how large they were) Could Rating: 5
