Ultimate grow room for 15 amps

Sockets on both sides of a wall may share a breaker. All the sockets on one side of the whole house may share one breaker! Two 600 watt lamps will draw a little over 12 amps. That's all you can safely put on one 15 amp circuit. Figure out how much power you have available and on what outlets and breakers and then plan your room. I plugged a vacuum cleaner into a socket ON THE OTHER END OF THE HOUSE and tripped the breaker for my lights. Two bathrooms, part of my kitchen, and one side of my grow room are one circuit. Part of my living room, two bedrooms, the hallway, and the other side of my grow room are on the other. I could use up to 30 amp, but I'd have no TV, lights, etc. in the rest of the house.

all this proves is you live in an old house with shitty electrical

Yeah, so you know his home is new and to the latest code? You're giving him bad advice. He's dumb enough to believe you. He's got student loans and he can't calculate 80% of 15. He's in college and can't do grade school math. You're not the expert you think you are. Hell, you can barely speak English.

I was just saying I'm too lazy to figure it out dipshit

this has got to be a troll account for someone cause no one is this stupid or arrogant. i'm sorry that you can't understand my english but seeing that it is my first and native language i find it hard to believe that i'm that difficult to understand. either way your advice is incorrect and your attitude sucks so good luck with that. as for electrical installations; i think you've already proved you have no clue what you are talking about.

That was uncalled for.
There was no reason for you to be a jerk.

Not sure that's an improvement. But go ahead plug in as much as you can. Use cheap extension cords. The expensive ones don't work any better. You can run 2x 600 watt, a chiller, and an A/C, no problem.

Yeah? Point out the incorrect part(s). I'll wait.

I could have been more discreet, I'll admit. But even you have to admit he is prey to wishful thinking. Scooby was giving bad advice. By the way, I have been employed wiring houses, RV's, and helicopters, so I do know a little about it. Assuming his home meets some specific code when he doesn't even know the age or location of the place is asking for trouble.
