FMJ--never really dealt with thermoelectric devices so can't help ya--sorry...I'm from the KISS school--Keep It Simple Stoopid..

Ganjagoddess, in looking over these posts I just realized that you are gonna protect everything with GFCI so ferget what I said about the cr20s, those are just regular receps. What you want are leviton 7899s--a 20amp GFCI recep. You could put one of those at the start of the run, making sure to put the black and white incoming wires on the 'line' side and the black and white outgoing wires on the 'load' side, and then use the regular cr20s downstream from the GFCI, and that will make all the downstream receps protected by that first one in the stream. It's fine to run more than one recep on each circuit as long as you make sure you don't go over about 24 amps total on the circuit. On all the downstream stuff I would do 'pigtail' wiring where you take the incoming black, the outgoing black, and a 6" pigtail and put them together in a red wire nut and then use that pigtail for that recep, doing the same with the white wires. Just make sure everything is tight--looseness is what causes fires. Good luck and be safe! Especially when you go to hooking it all up in the panel--find the breaker that controls that and turn it off before putting your hands(or any other part!) in there. Everybody should have a cheap little device called a voltage tic that is just a plastic pen-looking device that will tell you if a wire is hot or not with a beeper and light just by touching the wire, insulation still on or not.

fuck yes pete moss, you just gave my final piece of knowledge that need.. thank you so much.... love this thread

I was wondering if I can just pop a 30 amp breaker in to take the place of a 15 amp breaker? If not, what can I do to boost the amps.... I live in an upper duplex, so no thrashing walls or big construction jobs... I just need some more power

DONT DO THAT!!! the wiring will melt when overloaded and not tripping the 15 amp breaker that was replaced by a 30.

FIRE!!!!

As GG just said that wiring thats tied to that 15amp breaker is to small of wire(14awg solid probably) to handle the power provided by the 30amp breaker, you would have to run thicker wire, number 10wire(10awg) would be the only solution to your problem

Hey kushmonster I am using using 2 utility lamps with a light bulb splitter and using two 45 watt bulbs making about 150 watts, (2 lamps of 2 bulbs) and was thinking about getting two more setups for the flowering stage do you think that this would be two much or should i save up for a high power (HPS) or something.....is there another setup i could do thats cheap other than CFL's...suggestions??

OH YES, try t8 flourescents

Go to home depot, find the light fixture called the shoplight for $8.32 it holds 2 4' t8 light bulbs.

GET 5 of these

then get a 10 pack of the t8 6500k or 5000k daylight t8 bulbs for $30.

Viola $75 a massive veggin light.

I have a closet i plan to move my plants in. its a simple 29inch by 24inch by 8ft high. With now outlest in the closet i need to find out how do i put more than one florescent bulb ?

Should i just go buy some crappy lamp with three bulbs hanging out? u know, the "Tree" style. Please help me out on this one. i eventually plan on making a hydro set, but that'll be my third grow. or maybe on my second, which is going to be with HID's. Please help! i just wanna smoke my own sht ! i bet it feels awsome.

Just wondering If I can plug two 400w lights into the same power strip without any negative consequences??? I mean if an outlet can handle a single thousand watt light, wouldn't it be safe to say it could hold two 400's? Any reply or answer will be greatly appreciated. Please and thanks.

So you have only 1 exsisting light in that closet, well you can either remove the bulb and put in A base plug, that is a plug that screws in like a lightbulb but has 1 recepticale at the end so you can convert your light socket into a recepticale. Or you can disconnect the light from the power(make sure power is off first),take a measurment from light to the wall, then down the wall about a foot above the floor, with that measurment,(probably about 12') go and buy 3wire(hot, nuetral, ground) 12gauge romex from HD or Lowes, A standard single gang box and a 20amp GFI recepticale, and cable clips(for mounting romex). Strip wires and color match romex wire to the old light wires, (white to white, blk to blk, green to green)Mount the romex onto wall, at the other end mount single gang box to wall feed romex into box and hook up GFI recepticale accordingly, now you have a recepticale that you can plug lighting into

What size circuit breaker?? what else is on that circuit?? 2 400watt tansformers are gonna draw more amps then 1 1000watt ballast, what you can do is plug everything in(let it run for about an hour) and see if it trips the breaker, if thats the case I would try and have each one on a seperate circuit
