You don’t even tell us how many amps were working with for this branch.

extension cords maybe handle 15amps. Some handle more some handle less. Just your hps will be pulling 1000watts which leaves room for maybe the t5 and a fan.

sheds often don’t have insulation. How are you going to cool/heat this space. Is the shed sealed enough to prevent light leaking through? You have a lot of things to sort out and jumping to expecting a pound every 3 weeks is setting yourself up for failure.

Additionally, if you are going to wire electricity to your shed you will need to get it inspected more than likely (all depends on local building codes)

I thought about doing the shed thing but decided was way to much money to get it the way it needed to be. Split unit wall mount a/c passive air intake. Exhaust, insulation, redoing the floor to divert water to puddle for removal or adding in a condensation pump for water removal then factor in humidity control and setting up a electrical panel. I get all or most of that stuff and more is essential in any grow, but controlling the environment in a shed as opposed to a already controlled house is just way more costly.

My other hobby is motorcycles so either way I’m spending way to much money. I need to start bird watching or something cheaper

You’ll need to properly wire it, get an electrician to add a 30amp breaker and run some 10ga wire and put in whatever outlets you’ll need. You don’t want to catch your neighborhood on fire playing around with high voltage and extension cords. Maybe just try a couple tents indoors.

I have a shed grow and had to install a small window unit to help control the heat issue. The unit also helps bring in fresh filtered air that the ladies love. Your shed will get over 100 degrees on sunny days and fans dont cut it! IMG_20220824_163927_02.jpg
