Great info and I will make some changes/additions on the guide based on what you have said here, thanks! There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the guide, but I might move it to the top so it actually gets read before people jump in. Appreciate you taking the time to post and share your...

Quite obvious you guys really know your stuff. I used to build semi truck-trailers (logging and flatdecks) I was the "electrical guy", but really nothing in comparison with real electrician work. I have learned a bunch more about electrical just since last night due to this thread which is...

I agree, added that to the post as well. Unfortunately many people will not take that advice as they don't want to pay an electricians rate, I do hope that post might help them if so.

It was, I missed that. I wrote most of that post in 2017 but was never published until recently. Fixed.

Far as I know the breaker is sized to protect the cable, not vice versa. Perhaps I did not word that part of it well and need to change it. The breaker is designed to hold 100% of its rating indefinitely, of course it needs to be able to withstand and dissipate the additional heat. I am sure...

It is not supposed to be an in depth technical guide, it is designed to help new growers that know very little and so has been kept as simple as possible. What would make it more "useful"?

I wrote this for budsnbeavers which is a brand new Canada focused Cannabis forum. Wanted to share here as well, maybe a few people will find it useful, or some of you OG will have ideas how to make it better. Covers identifying circuits and their rating, some example grow setups for 15 & 20amp...

Yep I have used this before and it works well. Problems I had with it were, it didn't get 100% of them, if you get a rainstorm it needs a refresh, did not work for snails, hot weather needs a refresh every 4-5 days or so. Another one if you have plants in bear country is bears love the smell of...

Moved up North Canada two years ago on the coast and been having all types of issues with slugs and snails, vicious little buggers. Have tried all types of different things but they all seem to have their problems. Like works good but needs maintenance, reapply every week etc. Chatted with an...

5 x 5 looks like a smarter choice. Thanks for the links on the LEDs the first one looks like a winner. I prefer to go with quality rather than cheap. I am liking what I see with the Gorilla tents, look really well built. So that is the LEDs I guess what's left is light timer and possibly a fan...

Been a longtime since I posted here and things sure have changed a lot! I have a garage I am looking to setup a grow tent in, space isn't an issue and since I am in Canada I want to maximize what i can get out of the 4 plant scenario. I was looking at this...

Also if you exhaust back into the house rather than inside you don't create negative pressure inside the house. This makes a big difference especially in the winter. Your taking huge amounts of warm air that you already paid to heat and blowing it outside. In order to maintain pressure air is...

Been checkin out some bare bulb stadium grows as well they look pretty good. Not sure I like the idea of bare bulbs though. If one fails and pops a fire is almost a guarantee. The flags from BC Hydro I found out about from a friend that worked for them.

Yeah I was thinking running my own lines with Romex. Depends on what i find for a house but no matter will need to run at least a few. Thanks for the idea on running to the sub and including the relays..that would be slick. The area for the vert I'm still trying to get my head around..so used to...

Well I have been "flat growing" for a few years with 2x600W but with a move coming up I really want to step it up a level. Reason being the house we decide to rent will be rented with this size and style of grow in mind. The Plan 3x1000W Vert (Probably Octagon Style) flip flop For now no...

Yep it will.

LOL Can I have some of what you been smoking! Plan has changed a little anyways. Going to rent a house out of the city a ways. Its on its own little chunk of land with no neighbours within a 1/4 mile. A bit more expensive and a longer drive but safer.

How so? Also I am not in Cali I'm in Canada. But I really doubt the longarm of the law is going to go running around all over the world chasing my proxys to find a small grow.

Think thats a little paranoid but can't hurt to be paranoid I suppose :P As for posting here and warrants I'm a little smarter than that. I never connect to any sites until I am behind a anonymous proxxy and usually more than one. Same goes for the e-mail I registered here with. I doubt they are...

Sorry I wrote that wrong. Each flower space will be 4x8. Its the way I normally grow with 2x600W for a 4x8 space. While 1000W is preferable the 600s work well. I would go 1000s if I found a place where I could run my own wiring. Thanks for catchin my typo :)
