so my small.hobby grow keeps getting bigger lol and now i feel limited just by amperage space on my circuit.
i've been wanting to add a 2nd 1k hps but impossible on my 15a breaker/circuit. ive been thinking about it and just thought..
there WAS a baseboard heater hardwired into the room. ive removed it and have bare wires from a 220v circuit.. running to other heaters in the basement that i dont use. so i have no fear of overloading it.
is there anyway i can make use of that empty box? could i attach a receptacle to those wires?
my grow room is in my room with my panel box and i do have i believe its pretty well full (baseboard heat takes up alot of it) so just running a new circuit isnt really an option.
just looking for any ideas? im by no means an electrician lol definately dont want to burn my house down
