Right now my shop doesnt have 220v running to it, so Im stuck with 120v until I move to a new location. The room Im building inside the shop(which isnt insulated) will be 9'x7'x8'(fully insulated).

This is going to be a DWC grow, 2x 100qt Igloos(maybe a 3rd 150qt Igloo) and either 1-1000w HPS or 1-600w HPS in a cooltube. I will be running a single air pump, AC unit/heater depending on the weather(varies from 20F in winter to 90F summer), canfan(not sure on specs yet), and a few fans. I might setup a box to maintain a mother, however, I do not know yet.

What do I need to know so I dont overload a breaker? Pretty sure I am going to put some more breakers in the box, it currently only has 1 for the existing shop lights and 1 for the garage door opener. Im thinking I will wire in 2 more and split up how much equipment is running on each. Really trying to avoid jacking this up and burning something down! Electricity is by far my greatest fear when it comes to working on stuff :wall: :peace:
