New Grow Log!

[bud luv]

we're having a problem with fuses constantly blowing out any time anything new gets plugged in. Anybody know a relatively cheap solution to this? Do we have to upgrade the fuse box? I don't know anything about being an electrician

run an extenstion cord from another room in ur house. make sure its not on the same circuit as ur grow room tho. u can get an electrician to install another breaker and run a new circuit line to ur grow room. can cost anywhere from 75-125$. the price ranges accordingto the electrician.

what amp fuse is popin ? prob. a 15 amp. huh ?
you need to see what all is on that given circut . if at all possible maybe you can have someone upgrade your panel n hopefuly get it on a 20 amp. fuse/breaker .

when i added the extra 1000w. i had a friend run a small subpanel and a 240 line just for my room and bought a greenair controller/timer that turns the 1- 240v line into 4-110 v. outlets each capable of running 1000w. each .
now both my 1000's and both my blowers/via. a fan controller are all run off the same timer w/ an outlet to spare incase w/ wanna expand in the future .

there's prob. no cheap / safe way around your prob. i'm blessed w/ lotsa friends in the hvac / elect. industries + i have an awsome support group . will it atleast support just your 1000w.? might havta live w/o the 400 mh. for this grow ?
heres a pic. of my controller , fan control etc...
peace n be safe

We can run both lights at once, but not both lights and the heater.

Nighttime temps could be a problem.

Crispi - I wish I knew some elec people!

Stylus - I believe the house is only two circuits (there are two fuses, i think). It's next to impossible to run an extension cord from an outlet on the other circuit to the growroom as currently configured, as the ladies are in a shed. The fuse box is in the basement. Where would the electrician install the breaker? In the basement? Would he have to put in another outlet, or does he run it "inline"? I'm such a noob to electrical stuff... What specifically would I ask him to do?

Peace everyone.

The bitches really seemed to perk up after the MH was added. I mean there was a noticable difference in leaf angle within an hour or two. I think it was noticeable, at least.

hey B/L ,
it's not even in your house , outside in a shed ?
the heater draws monster amounts of juice man . how are you powering it up now ? an extension cord run outside ? spendin lotsa coin for an electrician sux , you said you don't own the place . in our area to be code you gotta dig a trench and run wires thru wall to the outside n put em like 18in. deep in the ground all the way to the shed . give us more info ?

yeah, extension cords are the method of choice for the entire room so far. I know the heater is about 1500 watts, so yeah, it's drawing a lot of juice here's a diagram of the place...
