Im renting a 3 bedroom house here pretty soon and i was wondering if having 2 1000 watts and a 400 watt would be safe to have. All the lights will be in Dark Rooms. So I plan on running 4 3x3 tables or 4x4 whatever my 1000 watts can reach, but ya than have teh 400 watt for my moms and clones.

So yea please lemme no what you think.

Sounds fine to me buddy just make sure each of those 1000 have there own 15 amp curcit as they use 9 amps. probably could get away with tossing that 400 on one of the same curcits as the 1000 but i wouldent even do it. thats the only problem with having a grow op in a bedroom is getting the second and third and even forth curcit in the bedroom.. easy when its down stairs next to the panel.... i just ran 3/8gage 220volt up to my room and a sub panel. make sure you know what your doing to before hand man ive seen some fucked up shit.. if you got any questions i could help you out been in the electrical field for 3 years now ;) good luck

sounds good to me, but you could save up a whole if you use an envirolite for your mothers and clones... i use to have my mothers under a 400 watt and i decided to use that 400 watt in addition to my 600 for flowering... and i bought myself an envirolite which really works better than i thought it would!!!!
peace

You can most likely run power from your 220V panel wherever you move to. Get some 220V hardware/ballasts. They run cooler, quieter and at half the Amps. If you already have the lights, sorry, never mind. ;)

400 watt and 2 fans and 2 flurences should be fine depends on how many amps them fans are?? and how many watts those 2 other lights are? but more then likeley you will be ok

ya i plan on growing downstairs in the basement right by the panel so hopefully ill be good. Ill have 2 1000 in the small living room and the 400 watt or whatever i get in another room.

I dont no to much about this amp/ circuit thing, so i guess i need to bust out my jorge cerventes book. Would i have to install a new circuit if i want that much power? Im no handyman so this could be a problem.
