Im just wondering...
My grow room is in my office in my closet
In my grow room I have a 400watt HPS and a 340 CFM Inline fan
That must be taking at lease 4 amps prob 5 to 6 amps
In my office I have a computer that runs at about 1200watts
Isnt that like 12 amps?

I went outside and looked at my circuit breaker and I THINK it says I have 10 amp circuits.

I have a few questions...
If that's a total of 16 - 18amps on a 10amp circuit wouldn't I blow the circuit?
Also if a computer uses 1200watts is that 12amps or is it less?

Also I heard for the bugs to get sand?

Thanks guys

I'm with Nocturn3 on this. Leave fan on just not directly on the plant to hard enough to keep air moving in the room. Without air movment the plant has a hard time breathing. There is always air moving outside and it is a bit larger outside too.

The biggest thing that concerns me with your setup is the "fan blowing into the attic". I see this as problematic. This is what I see is going to happen in your attic very soon. I am assuming that your attic is colder than your grow room this time of year. You are exhusting warm humid air into a colder room, the most air will start to condense in the attic causing an extremly humid enviroment even raining down on things up there. Mold will start to grow and house rot will follow.

This might sound a bit extreem but I sugest you going up there and checking on things if you have been running your room this way for awhile. Let me know.

lastly your plants are getting a bit tall for CFLs if you haven't flipped 12/12 yet. They will stretch quite a bit for the first two weeks.
