Is there any interest in a tutorial on a DIY giude showing how to add dedicated power lines to the grow room safely & cheaply ?

If there is enough interest i will draw up a tutorial, complete with step by step pictures & instructions, showing & explaining how to add electrical lines,breakers & outlets for a grow room.

Yes this is needed I think as a sticky in growroom setup section.

This summer iam gonna be running some #10 wire from a free circuit to a new grow room. But ive never done any work like this before.

I hope you add a section on dealing with those stupid tabs in the boxes and handling cold stiff wire. My hands and digits are all beat up for running 2 circuits in my op the past 2 days.

Might note how time saving the green twisty grounding connectors with the hole will save you so much time for wiring and attaching the ground. (as opposed to cutting and stripping a separate grounding wire)
