HELP GROW ROOM POWER KEEPS GOING OFF

Hello, Iam in dire need of help. My grow room lost power all of a sudden during lights off, I checked my breaker box and it did not set off the breaker. However when I unplugged my dehumidifier, the power to the room turned back on. When I plugged it into a different outlet, the power stayed on. Whenever I plug it into the previous outlet, the power goes back off. The power then turned off 5 minutes later. Whenever I plug something in, to a different room, my grow room power goes off as well as that room. Both rooms are connected to one breaker. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you

OK a couple of things here, first it is obvious that the first outlet cannot handle the load of the humidifier (this is typical if multiple high drawing appliances are on the same outlet). The first outlet simply isn't an option if it can't handle the load (if only the humidifier is plugged into the outlet I would say it is a faulty outlet and replace). I have to use two outlets in my grow room. As for the different room, you know the two rooms are on the same breaker which is why when you add more load in the second room the power trips.

You need you hire a electrition to fix this before your house burns down. Or you need to get a 220 box and run from your dryer outlet to your lights.

Get a professional to check your electrical system. If the power goes off the breaker should be tripping. If it is not and the power goes out that means that a short or something is possible and could burn your house down. Though a short should throw the breaker.

What exactly do you mean the power goes out? You don't have to reset the breaker?

Definitely need an electrician though if you want to add more power and get this resolved, I had the same exact situation as you and got an electrician to give me advice. I was just stating the obvious for why it wasn't working, which is what you wanted to know.

The wiring job is clearly fucked, i wouldnt trust it even with half of whatever is going on. Houses burn down all this time due to shitshow wiring, you have things like this going on i wouldnt look for a work around, id stop using those outlets all together. I know it sucks, but it could really be a matter of life or death in this case.

Not necessarily, we can't see his wiring. Like I said, I had the same exact problem with my outlet shutting my outdoor shed down and then my theatre room shutting down all power when I turned it on due to being connected. I never stopped using the outlets, just lowered the power a bit. All the wiring was done to code, just too much load. Nothing was ever in danger of burning down. Not saying that couldn't happen, but we don't know that is the case. Get an electrician to tell you.

If a leg bends backward i dont need a xray to know its broken. Just like i dont need to pull off the drywall an open his breaker box to know this is a job worthy of a meme

Telling someone their house is going to burn down and they have shit wiring is bad form and not needed. Are you telling me my wiring was completely fucked as well, even though it wasn't? Plus memes are so 2009.

He had so much draw it stopped working but his breaker didnt trip... heres your sign... and yes... houses burn down like this. But your right.. why play it safe when we can tell him to just unplug the dehum an keep going till someone else looks at it, its no biggie

"Bad form" the guy is asking for help. So im giving honesty. I guess i could offer moral support, but odds are he didnt wire it himself and isnt going to be butthurt over what im saying.. and if he did do the wiring then it explains it too. Jesus why are you even triggered right now?

Nobody ever told him to not do anything, just don't make assumptions based on your faulty logic. Of course you want to play it safe and GET AN ELECTRICIAN, like we both said. Man some people.

Just don't like people telling others their house is going to burn down without knowing much, not really triggered lol. If you gave me the same advice it would have been bad advice, each situation is unique. My outlet was tripping my room power without tripping a breaker, but you know what, it was fine because it was connected to a GFCI outlet. That could be the case here, or it could not. Anyways I am done, get an electrician end of story and do what you want further.

I guess i just happen to have... life experiance.

Fuckin people assume everyone is as clueless as them wtf is this world coming to

You seem triggered and drunk man, just stop and go to sleep lol. Take a deep breath and grow. In case you are saying anything further, I have ignored you as to not hijack this thread.

Ha no but even my wife is laughing at you

I have me dehumidifier on when my light is turned off and vise versa. When I plug anything 3 prong into the adjacent room, the power goes off in both rooms yet the breaker does not pop off, but interesting that the closet light in my grow room does not go out when this happens though. I will definitely need to call an electrican. Only 2 weeks from harvest as well..
