Hey guys trying to start getting a new project under way.

Heres the deal I remember awhile back there was a thread on a forum on how they set up a specific breaker just for there grow room. I cant find that thread for the life of me.

So was wondering if someone can help me on this or have a link on how to do this.

Set up is for 6 1K lights

Thanks in advance :leaf:

You will need a lighting controller for the 6-kw's. One line from the breaker box to the controller, where the ballast plug into the controller. a 50 amp breaker would handle the 6. and I would suggest the use of a 15 min delay (with a high temp shut off). You can go online to most Hydro shops and see them. They come in 4,6, 8,12,24, and more light setup. They are kinda pricey. They are well worth the cash. to setup a breaker in the panel box is not hard @ all. just look online. make sure you turn the main off first. If you are not comfortable with electricity, consult an electrician. There are a few variables, size and make of panel box, is there room for the breaker. The legnth of the run, determains final gauge of line.
