One question though,
I have:
2X 125 watt 5U, 230v 50Hz (bloom)http://www.ecotechnics.co.uk/
1 X 220watt red spectrum T5 6U. 220/240V 60/hz
I cant see a K rating on them im afraid..
Would i need a Relay contactor when im running the 3 lights together?


I have a 134cm(h) X 28(w) X 48 (d) area for growing). Im growing in a bedroom closet (sshhh, its a secret)

I was hoping to grow 4 plants.

Will i have enough light do you think for a successful grow.

ps Also getting this reflector.http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/...cat=122&cat=95 Any thoughts on it??.
Thanks
You have lenty, go to the site of the maker of your light, there will be the K rating..I think T5 is 65ooK. Best bet is to line threwalls with mylar..shiny*g* Also if you have the time and space you can go SOG and cover the floorvwith short plants,,, Check out hempy as well..That's my fave s the plants stay short, and you could double deck your grow, so you'll always have something shortly to harvest..Gotta x2 everything though..

No no i just mean is it safer to use it or would a standard timer used in a 4 socket fused adaptor be ok. The 4 lights would equal 695w.
Thanks

Depends on the amperage of the lights, and the total load on circuit I believe, also that of the timer.

o yes in that case yes it will save the timer that is a good way to do it the watts will tell us the amps using ohms law we would need to know the voltage but 596 watts at 120 vac it would be 5.56 amps think of it this way my flat screen TV is 32 inches 900 amps at 120 vac = 7.5 amps i would say the relay is a good way to go if you know how to wire it correctly the coil on the relay will pull something like 0.2 amps but i would be concerned about adding 5-7 amps to an existing power line which has a 15-20 amp braker

Default voltage sensing probe!
permalink
turn off all the breakers turn on 1 at a time and draw a map using a voltage sensing probe as a guide turn on one circut at a time and follow the wire with probe!

I've talked with my friend the electrician , he told me about 800 plus 400 to the utility. I'l wire it all in, he'll sign off and actually do the hook up..

you can use a small desk lamp to walk around and find what breaker is to what by either turning off one at a time and seeing what is affected, or turn them all off and the one on at a time and see what comes on. if you're doing it alone, try using a small alarm clock radio or something that makes noise when plugged in. plug it in so you can hear it, then go flip breakers until it turns off, then you know what one it is.

That's the plan, but have to wait till spring when bills go down as temp goes up. we pay the second highest electric rate in the country..ande have an electric stove..a mite hard to grill with a -15 chill..Ya know..one side will be crispy, and the other refrozen.
