DAMN DAMN DAMN, MY ELECTRICS HAVE BLOWN!!!!! MY DARLINGS HAVE BEEN IN THE DARK NOW FOR 28 HOURS, LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL DIE IN THE DARK AND COLD BY THE TIME I GET A QUIET ELECTRICIAN IN. THIS WAS MY DREAM PROJECT, IM AN ABSOLUTE NEWBIE BUT AN AMBITIOUS ONE, when my boss (man i grow for) took me to see the room before we got started i told him straight away that the 100A circuit breaker box has only one 20amp circuit breaker in it currently and that more circuits breakers (amps)will need to be added that i will need about 80amps in total max. He told me that dont worry il do it myself, you GET STARTED, so i did get started. NOw 6 weeks into the grow he finally decided to add 2 more circuit breakers onto the panel and increase the amps. after fitting it all on we left it working, went back next morn to find everything switched off, no power at the circuit breaker box at all not even the ceiling lights are comin on. THE ARE A FEW LESSONS I HAVE LEARNED HERE, 1; NEVER TOUCH ELECTRICS GET A PROF OR SOMENE WHO DOES ELECTRIC WORK FOR HIS LIVING AND MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICS ARE FULLY UPGRADED IF NEEDED BEFORE ANY GROWING OR GROW ROOM BUILDING HAPPENS AT ALL. 2; GET PLUMBER IN BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE TO BRING WATER TO THE GROW AREA. 3; SET UP THE ENTIRE GROW ROOM AREA (hang lights, extractor fans, plug points, wires off the floor, oscillating fans, do all building work) BEFORE ANY GROWING IS DONE.
i have really learnt my lesson unfortunately the hard way, it is not my fault, i did insist to my boss he get the electrics sorted on day 1 but he ignored me, and put off upgrading the electrics till now 6 weeks in. i will never make those mistakes ever again, even if it means spending the entire first month just preparing the grow area and making everything ready.wish me luck everyone, trying to get an electrician in and sort it out. They are big Adult plants and i am hoping they will survive even being in constant darkness for 48-72 hours with the cold 10-15c temperature i think they might survive but will be seriously damaged, the babies however i really am worried about, they are my super strains Haze selction, being hazes they like it hot, instead they have cold as well as the constant darkness
