ohhh its timer boxes and use a 50amp breaker with a 6 gauge wire to the sentinel that controls 8000watts then the other 4000 are on other breakersIMG_0050.jpgIMG_0051.jpgIMG_0052.jpgIMG_0053.jpgIMG_0054.jpg

Where did you get that timer from? I have been looking for one like that. Its 220 right? Not sure where your at but most the timers around here are 110. I want to run 3 400w lights off 1 timer. Could you take a picture a little further away with more of how yo uhave it wired? Thanks for all the pics! Everything is lookin like this isnt your first rodeo.

U should get these to run 3400 watts http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-Sentinel-HPH-4-High-Power-Hid-Controller.asp http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-Sentinel-MDT-1-Digital-Timer.asp oops read it wrong lol 3 400 watt bulbs can go on a 110 v 20amp breaker with no problem just get a extension and plug the extension right into the timer then ur ballasts right into the extension that's going to the timer then plug the timer in and it will b running all 3 lights off one timer

I deff wanna invest in a veg room that's prolly just a flood table that can hold 400 and just let veg in the rockwool and do all my vegging an toping right in there but I plan on expanding even more after this so prolly 20000watt 300 plants and have like 3 1000 watt hortilux blues on the veg room and that will save me about 9000 watts of electric

That will be quiet the set up! What kind of venting do you have for your warehouse? How many fans do you run and do you have a problem with temps being to high? My dream job would be to grow for a living! Once I get the same grows dialed in I hope to move up. How do you like those Hortilux blues? I keep hearing more and more that the plants DO like the blue light during flower they just dont need as much of it. Hope thats not to many questions lol. Im just tryin to learn how to get to this scale and level of growing.

It's fine in still learning aswell I run 2 8in fans going right threw 12 hoods 6 on both sides as seen in pictures but that's not enough so temps to get a little high for me say around 83 mid day I want around 78 ... So I'm going to be buyin one 20in inline fan and let that push all the heat out as of fight now I'm just using a 18000 btu ac because I don't need to use my other 15000 at this time of year everything is vented right out through the heating ducts but in pulling clean air from another room so it doesn't pull my co2 so basically a closed looped setup

So you have your grow room, then you have another room that you pull air from? Just tryn to get a picture in my head. I can see how that closed loop would work if you have a 2 closed room that are being fed co2. So is the second room more just to have the air moving and cut the smell?
