u guys are crazy not to think that the police work with the power companies.
as a matter of fact they get cash rewards for finding grow house's. think its a game.
no one out here wants to see another person with more than they have.
let me break it down for you.
it all depends on the state you live in first of all.
and were I live is like world war 4 everyday.
everyone knows how much this stuff is worth its no secret anymore

if they do its not like they used to. their more concerned about the meth houses and users. its such a common thing anymore to have multi medical patients around growing in most states now a days that there not looking at every every single house. ya they do fly over in the outdoor grow season and if they see a plant in your yard and your not legal the yes you can expect a visit from the police, or if your monthly bill in the past year b4 growing was only $180 a month and in went up to 220 250 you have nothing to worry about.but if it jumps up say around $300 + consistently then ya your most likely going to catch an eye some where.

ohhh this makes perfect sense...im going to do something very similiar .. i jsut ran 2 20amp breakers to my panel w./ 10.2 wire...and got some heavyduty 20amp outlets..instead of the corny 15amp outlets...

glad u mentioned all this..while i might still use the new plugins ive created..to lighten loads for fans and more plugs..im going to do wut u just mentioned to cut down on amps im drawing...just basically get a 30amp breaker more 10.2 wire..and like u said 2hot wires no neutral...im not an electrian ..but ive wired intire houses be4 back in the day..and did my new wiring by my lonesome..so this should be easy..heres 1 thought tho...can u take a pic of ur recepticle..220/240 there different right? i know my ballasts are compatible w/ the 220..so that should work..1 more thing my buddy tells me his 10 lamp system is ran off of 220 coming out the service panel..into a pool timer which controls multiple outlets..for on and off instead of all the lil hydrofarm timers im using..wut u think about this Jack..

The reason I dont pull air from inside is I would loose all my CO2 and the system would not be sealed.You could pull from out side and then out a roof vent .. All houses have 120/240 v 240 v is 2 hot 120v and no neutral/ (white wire in most cases) You just need a double pole breaker and run two wires off the breaker and you have 240v it lowers your amps in half at least, its the amps you pay for..I have been a state certified electrican going on 10 years the biggest scam that electrical company's have is 120 volts it draws way to much amps.Most people shy away from 240 v for some reason they dont even realize they have it .When I did an amp test on my new sub panel it was drawing 29 amps with everything on I ran a 100 amp sub panel beacuse I had it and if I ever wanted to add anything else I would not have to worry.I will take some pics of the duct work and exhaust fans along with the electrical panel...:D Hope this helps...

No problem on the picture you can even use a 120 v plug and wire it 240 v as long as you dont exceed 20 amps per socket just run 2 hots ..If you wired the house you will be fine ..I know my ballast were 8 amps with 120 and 4 with 240 16 amps aint shit running 4x 1000 light hps And thats at start up!!!

okay ...........i get it..so u find passing cooler air over the lights and out...is better than just pulling air from inside the op and out of the lights? Id like to see a pic of all the ducting and to where it leads and comes from..Its just im gonna be setting up something well i think very similiar to u ...but i have the capacity to exploid a direct fresh air source, and a roof vent...(gonna install both) then i may not have to rely so heavly on a/c. also i wanted to know w/ the whole electricity think coming to a spear in this thread...um well i just ran new breakers for my op..but i was wondering...so u run all 4 ballast off of a 30amper ..and the a/c? how does this pan out..and do u have a 220 source or something?

Here is some pics so you can see how the air is being pulled through the hoods as you can see no out vents and the CO2 is at 1500 PPM all day long:hump: I also had to include some new sprouts they are Deisel and will become mom's.And a couple pics of the clones they are getting FAT!!:joint:

it may not even make a difference if you got a good seal going on in your flower room... but apparently plants actually produce carbon dioxide during the dark period ... and use oxygen ... so they don't really benefit from supplemental co2 during lights out. just a thought.

The box is a contact panel all the ballast plug in and you run 240 v to the contactor box and plug the box into 120 v outlet and a cheap $15.00 timer it turns all lights on at the same time we use them at work they have them for up to 100 lights..:hump::joint:

so 240 runs into the box..and it still plugs into a 110 outlet..that has a timer leading off of it? if got to get 1 of these to control my lamps and bring down the amps..that sounds awesome..
