My new 1400 watt grow room

Took me a long time to come back but I got a kick ass grow and it's smelling dank!! 3 random seeded plants surrounded by autos from green house called auto bomb green o matic cross with Big Bang!! My tallest is a random seed she's 6'1! Behind her is another random 5'3! And the last random is 4'5 but looking thick! 1400 watts 1000 watt hps and 400 watts in cfls! 9x9 grow room with panda film on walls 2 fans to keep plants strong my light and ballast are hortolux eye and nanolux OG big cfl is 300 watts! Also have 6 smaller cfls surrounding them!

So you veg with the floros and turn the hps on when you bloom ?

I see 60 watts there... Not 1400. I want my money back!

I have no problems or anything were there at now only issues we had were gnats in the soil causing the rooting problem making the plants a little sick but we have solved the issue and have a lot of potential for our green house auto bombs

You will need a 45 AMP 120v circuit breaker if you plan to run 4k watts . Breakers should never run above 80 percent capacity . A 45 AMP breaker is good for 4300 watts .

Invest in a contactor to turn the 45AMP breaker on and use a timer to start the contactor to start the 45AMP breaker. That way you can connect all your lights to one single timer (without the contactor a timer can only do 3k watts safely. A contactor allows you to put the actual breaker on a timer.

Keep your extraction fans on a separate breaker and split your fans over two breakers aswell. If your lights trip your fine . If your fans trip your plants are dead .

might be easier to run 2 20 amp kitchen breakers, think they're way cheaper, but you have to have two circuits in that room already.

Probably have to upgrade the wire too, no?

I had to for inspection for the 20amp breakers.

I upgraded again 2 1000 watt lights and a 660 gavita as well as 2 300 watt cfls
