    Powering your grow with a 50 amp dryer outlet.

    The engineer seemed happy. The real issue was the dedicated ground circuit for the house outlets. Jesus Christ what a s*** show. All in the name of safety we called in Old pro sparky, now the cell phones and laptops charge happily!

    Powering your grow with a 50 amp dryer outlet.

    My old house has a 50 amp and a 30 amp, the 50 amp is a 10-50r. And the 30 amp was the weird round three-pronged with a hooked indexing plug twist lock. The 30 amp was in the garage for the dryer and the 50 amp was for an old electric range that went to the kitchen. The 50 amp line was located...

    Powering your grow with a 50 amp dryer outlet.

    The extra ground goes from a ground rod fixture in the garage following the steel conduit and is secured with a small screw to the underside of the box that the outlet is housed in. This is how I bought the house as it was inspected and passed by local regional code. I don't want any fires. I...

    Powering your grow with a 50 amp dryer outlet.

    The extra ground wire is present and hooked up to the 10-50's box and conduit. Short term fix until a subpanel upgrade.

    Powering your grow with a 50 amp dryer outlet.

    Recently I had a side job where I was welding heavy plate at my house through the same receptacle. With a clamp on meter I measured over 12 amps running load. I'm feeling fairly confident that my 1800w peak load should be handled by the 50 amp circuitry. Although I'm always open to hearing...

    New Vero and Cree Cob build.

    I keep chips under 100 watts, I don't remember having a failure due to overheating so spending the money on a big cooler like that for me doesn't work. I've had fans fail on 50 w chips and had them go a cycle or two with just passive cooling from air movement in the tent. That advantage is saved...

    Best led for 2x4

    Cough, cough, Mars hydro SP 300 is kinda perfect for me in my 2x4. If you're good with canopy management, it's a great choice.

    New Vero and Cree Cob build.

    I've used those exact 4K Vero 29s at 90 with these, with remote ballast and a meanwhile apv-12-12 running your fan, the lamp is cool to the touch while the ballast outside the tent is quite warm.
