electricity

hello I am running a 8x4 tent with two timber redwood vs, 600 watt led lights, I also had a veg tent with a t5 light in the same room. I had alot of stuff hooked up to one outlet so I'm guessing thats why the circuit got shorted. I had my wall unit ac (5000 btu) hooked up to the same outlet as...

I’m a first time grower and I decided I wanted decent lights and I was wondering how much electricity it would take til I had feds knocking on my door lol

Hi guys, I need help with learning about the best material to use in reflecting the light (in my grow room). I need it not only because it helps the plants to get more light but because the costs in light and electricity consumption is frustratingly high, and I plan on getting the best for my...

OK guys, here the thing. I never really knew much about smart meters or power rates or any of that before recently when my power bill nearly tripled!! A couple months ago a power guy came knocking on my door saying he was there to install a smart meter. I at the time didn't know I could refuse...

I have commercial space that i can completely sound proof and scent proof but electricity use is kind of an issue as landlord has expectations on how much is average useage and im trying to avoid red flags...I am interested in knowing if anyone has heard of an indoor grow option other than...

I've been thinking if someone wanted to get a lot more lights, how much would be too much? Like, arouse suspicion and such. Does a high electric usage/bill warrant for a search? Hypothetically, can someone just put 20 lights in their garage? (Assuming breaker holds)

There are several threads here on ventilation. I started one last week asking if anyone had experience with DC blowers and Electronic Speed Controls (ESCs) and, other than answering my own question in post #2, there were zero replies. I therefore assume that not many people have taken this...

Hey guys. I'm trying to avoid/limit soldering all together with my setup so I will be using COB Holders with built in wire connectors and DC connectors for my COB to Driver wires. I was wondering if it would be possible to connect my 100k OHM potentiometer to my driver using the same DC...

I have two 36" heatsinks and 4 Cree cxb3590 for each. I tried hooking my light up with my B version meanwell 185w, and thought it should all be connected right, well i never could get it to work so some wiring must be wrong. I'm asking for some help on wiring since I apparently forgot some...

I came across some curious posts from a few years ago where someone introduced a "12/1" light cycle for vegging. Basically, the cycle is 12 hours light ON, 5.5hrs OFF, 1hr ON, 5.5hrs OFF == 13 hours light, as opposed to 18 hrs of light as with 18/6 == 5 hours less light needed per 24hrs cycle...

trying to work out my overall electric bill, will a 600w light use 600w including the ballast? has anybody ever tested the wattage

Hello people, my first post here, wonderful forum, I've been recently diving deep in the DIY COB word, digging the high-end CREE models and I'm getting a couple of 'Mean Well HLG-185H-C1400A' drivers for my setup. I'm interested in knowing about the effect of running the drivers on an inverter...

Setting up a little space & putting a single 1000w (or 600w?) and possibly a single 4 Bulb T5 light in a room in a old house. (Reason, only going to do 2 or 3 plants at a time + clones.) My question is will the electricity at my old house space be able to Handle these watts?
