First Legal grow and got a huge basement.

And just fyi. This is my grow trailor that was orginally 100a. I didn't get another main dropped or anything. Just made sure the main could support 200a. The trailor was from the 80s or some shit.

So you can just drop a box if your main can handle it.View attachment 3604046

The main gets powered from the drop, if you have #6 wire on your drop then you can only safely run a load of 100amps you CANNOT run a load of 200amps on #6 wire if you do you run the risk of overheated wiring causing a fire you need to upgrade the drop to #2 copper or #4 aluminum.

I'll believe a master electrician over you any day.

Now I'll leave it at that cause we're hijacking the OP post, I'll go 1 step further you're right and I'm wrong ok.

So @ODanksta you figure out how you going to flower? You running 3 flower chambers?

No not yet, but we have been discussing 2-6K flower rooms on a flip box. I own 6 magnetic 1K ballast and 3 digi's.

 

[ODanksta]

I know right, I can think of many people who could or should have been on the roll call,, lol

That was a Toke N Talk thing.. That's where I usually hang out on RIU..

I can help with equipment if needs be. Let me know.

Love the taste of California Orange. Smooth. I normally don't like really citrus bud.

Orange and citrus are a little different. I've grown lemons and grapefruits. But I've never tasted anything close to the oranges. I don't like the lemon stuff but love the gratefruits I just haven't ever had a indica domn one yet..

Shit TK is giving shit to my brother for free..

And my guy said he trying for next week. He said he has to flip what he has drying because all the cali stuff is on front..

Did you look up NEC CODE 310.5
The following is from yahoo there are many other sources out there.

B4L



changing the outside line is the easiest part why are you trying to avoid doing that


if you have 100 amp wire feeding the panel you can only safely get 100 of power out of it

so if you don't change the wires and panel than you have not upgrade the ability of the service
Source(s): i am a master electrician

Cause that all costs real money its not cheap upgrading so my thought is possible Nigger rigging in that case get good home insurance Also not sure if he owns the home but migt be wise if renting to maybe ask the owner who is probably to cheap to upgrade anyways and if asked might say don't touch a fucking thing

Then again why bother i mean if a 400 watt Cob grow light Can get you 2.0 - 2.5 GPW then no need to run so many amps or have 20,000 watts of HPS lol i mean really think about 3 - 400 watt drawing off 16 amp breaker 12 amps total compared to 1000 watt pulling 9 amps and you only making 2 pounds off it commercially speaking does not make sense were 1200 watts or 3 400 watt Cob units will bring you in more cha ching 1000 watt = on average 1180 dry grams
3 400 obs = 2400 grams @ 3 amps more usage on circuit Presently building shit load of 400's and if the numbers come out like so many claim my 6000 watt cob unit will kill a 20,000 watt HPS grow
think about it 6000 watt Cobs hauling you 34 pounds of product if the numbers everyone Claims is true 1 /3 rd the power usage

When I say main, I'm am talking about the main Electric drop. You know how your water main is the main water drop to your house. You are dense. I'm a carpenter and a mechanic so I work around all types of electricity.

Why argue with me when everything you say is just vomit regurgitated by you. Everything you cite is somebody's words.

I have hands on with this subject, that's why I mentioned my opinion.

Do you have hands on?

I wouldn't open my mouth about shit I don't know.

I don't care what you believe.

2-2.5 gpw has been done by Heath and a few others..its not the norm, 99.999% of growers won't sniff those numbers.

with Cobs ?? that is what people are saying We will See been pulling 3 pounds pretty consistently with De's but again we will see right

Lemon and pine are my least favorites.

I like more berry/melon.

Peeps here go crazy for fuel/chem and coffee/earthy.

Chem/fuel smells nice.

i know captain is getting close to 2 grams per watt under cobs, with 1.5 grams per watt being the norm,, I have been getting 1.35 grams per watt with cree cobs , but I grow in soil

Edit, those other guys are in differant types of hydro

Hahahahahaha! Please stop making me laugh, you have no idea what a main is either in electric or plumbing. I'm a retired HVAC construction worker who has done work with 120v, 240v ( single phase and 3 phase), 440v, 660v 1phase 3 phase , control voltage 240v down to milliamps, A/C voltage, DC voltage. I'm a steamfitter (local 638 out of nyc) that is why I said I'm no electrician because I respect the trade, but that doesn't mean I don't know electricity, 90% of my work around A/C units has to do with power ask any A/C serviceman!

I was trying to be polite but I knew you had no idea what you were talking about and when I told my buddy about this conversation (he is a MASTER ELECTRICIAN also retired from local 3 IBEW from nyc)
he knew that you knew jack shit he specifically wired MAINS in electric vaults the size of an Olympic pool.
And either wires in step down or step up transformer.


You said you a mechanic all they work with is DC power 12-16v. Not A/C power.

BTW check my profile HVAC means

Heating
Ventilation
Air
Conditioning which part of that doesn't deal with voltage.

A residential service line is the line on the pole out side to your home, your local electric co. Runs wires to your meter and pigtails to your MAIN distribution point that a licensed electrician wires in. The lines can be 2 hot lines of 120v or 2 hot lines of 220-240v.

You say that as long as the main can handle a 200 amp box, how can you tell that? Well I'll give you a hint. Wire size.

If you put a 200A breaker box on a 100A service and use 60% of the new 200A box then you just overloaded that service and caused a fire.

I know a hell of a lot more than you, stick to your 12v-16v circuits. And leave electrical work to professionals. Anyone reading this don't listen to this wannabe and please don't do what he did it can burn your home down.

Noun 1.

electric main - a main that distributes electricity
main - a principal pipe in a system that distributes water or gas or electricity or that collects sewage

 

[hondagrower420]

What's that @Blunted 4 lyfe ?

Whats a main again?

You are right tho. The size of the main wire leading in your house is what dictates amp load.
