Thanks for the suggestion but that wouldn't work since I don't have a place for it inside the house.

So I've got a file cabinet that I picked up free, and I've been wondering about the best way to use it to get maximum yield. The cabinet is 36" (L) X 19.25" (W) X 66" (H). The big challenge that I face is the changing seasons, the cold weather. I have a very small home and so the cabinet...

I hope you mean a 2 pole or double pole 50 amp breaker. I can't think of any growing equipment that needs 50 amps at 120 volts.

Yes you're right on...black =hot, white=neutral,=green is ground. Aside from that what further advice are you looking for?

fantasy grow room would have to be... anything legal, no need to hide. Even if that meant only two plants at a time, if you didn't need to fear the law then you wouldn't have to go underground or hire security and all that shit.

Don't cut that cord and jerry-rig it. Use the correct cord for the ballast that you have. The cord is a "NEMA 6-15R", and yes that's American. It's used for equipment that need 240 volt @ 15 amps. Many ballasts are multi voltage, accepting 120v/240v/277v/480v. It will be labeled on the...

This is one of the best set-ups i've seen for a small area. I love the fact that you took the time, money, and effort to do things right. Enjoy those ladies when they're ready.

Gadgetmanben, you got registered with RIU.org just this month and you're asking for someone to do all the prep work for you. Sorry, but I agree with everyone else. Do a lot of homework now and it will pay off for you in the end. Also, you want to go big and so does everyone else...have you...

I don't know how the main floor is laid out, but here's a thought... Cut the floor piece of a kitchen cabinet. Now cut the floor of your house(just under the cabinet) which leads to your stairs. So, in order to get into your grow room, you will need to get in through your kitchen cabinet...

That Plug'n'grow looks so much better for your setup. Yes, you actually can plug in your lumatek ballast into it.

I'd say to hire an electrician. I am one myself and have been wiring up homes for almost 4 years now. The electrician doesn't need to know what you're using this for. I know I never asked about the jobs that I've been on. That MLC8 that you mention will do the best job for you. Be sure to...

I hope you do know that the Coleman cord that you're considering only has a black, a white, and a ground. In your situation, this means that you will have two current carrying conductors and a ground but no neutral. what you need in order to split this up for two separate 15A circuits is: 2...

Yes, that coleman cord will allow 30Amps to be conducted through the wire. And that is according to the NEC code book, Article 400.6

Go ahead and make a 50' cord for it. Aside from romex wire, you can use extension cord type of wire (also known as SEOW/SJEW/SJEOW). A 10 gauge wire is rated for 30 amps and up to 40 amps, all dependant upon the ambient temperature. The reason for the 15 amp rating on a pre-made 10/3...

From what you've got so far, everything will be just fine. A breaker is actually made to hold 90 % of it's listed load before it "pops". Each 15 amp circuit will hold a load of 13.5 peak amps before it gets tripped. I don't have any idea about how much power the light movers use so I can't...

Religion and love...touchy subject with me. Faithful followers of all Christian religions have a common belief that everyone of us have free agency. Talk with your fiance about free agency and acceptance of others' views. The relationship between the two of you should be strong enough to wade...
