Might be a good idea to upload a picture of what you bought...

If its US 110 voltage its a no brainer,you'll have 3 wires of different color,one will be hot,one will be ground & the other will be neutral,either post a pic or tell us the color of the wires,all you need is a heavy duty extension cord (3 prong) & some electrical tape plus 5 minutes work & you'll be up & running.

fuck that
ill just go with a CFL grow. i aint an electrician, lol.

Not to be rude but if you cant wire up 3 simple wires with the help from people who know about electricity then you might be better off just buying weed,if your not capable of this simple task i'd have to question your judgement on fire saftey in a grow room.

well im sure it wouldnt be hard at all to wire some things together, but i dont wanna fuck up or anything.
ive got a budget on lights. ($100)
and ive seen some crazy grows with just CFL's. and barley no heat. this is my first grow, soon as i harvest im getting a 400w HPS/MH .
plus im tired of getting fucked over, ripped off and end up with brown,crspy weed.

Panhead you are 100% correct. I have taken apart a rewired my attic and almoast everything else. when growing pot you have to be very "street smart and intuative and creative. When we see a tennius ball can we see a vent for a 3 inch fan...as an example. Things like PH, lumens, environment and ventilation are all variables that have to be manipulated since you are playin momma nature. so be ready to think or SPEND A LOT OF MONEY FOR SOMEONE to do it for ya!

 

[charlestonchunk]

PANHEAD....sorry dude! I was talkin to you

 

[ceestyle]

yeah i was confused for a minute there ...

 

[mrXgreenthumbX]

thats exactly why im doing a CFL grow,
cheap, almost NO heat.
so all i have to buy is
lights
timer
soil
fans
and other grow thingsss

 

[charlestonchunk]

my first time also, and I need help!

if you need wiring help check out my DIY thing on lighting a rubbermaid fixture, its almost the exact same process

its so easy buy a thick extention cord. open it up youll have three wires green white and black. open the light it will have the same color wires, twist each color together and wire nut it then wrap the nut with electical tape for extra safety. then plug that bitch in bro. they work great
