I got a 20 amp breaker that uses 240v, so it can handle some heavy duty electric, i got a 14k btu a/c unit and fans connected to a seperate power source. When i moved in to this house first thing i did was upgrade my circuit breaker.
I don't run carbon filter i'm in a legal state in a private area.

ok well hear me out plz, Ive got one flower room but on 2 separate walls I have a separate 20 amp breaker running through it! if I taped up all other sockets that connected to those breakers, could I fit 2 1k hps, 1 10 in carbon scrubber, 2 fans, and a 12k btu ac split between those 2 20 amp breakers?

if I can do that all I've got to do is buy a tent and one more hps cheapest way and best way possible for my situation but I'd hate to buy all that just to hook it up to find out I have a fire hazard or risk of blowing circuits every day!

so total power is amps x volts, so if you got a 20 amp breaker on 120 volt the total it can handle is 2400 watts, it's not really safe to run max power so i'd recommend running 75% of that for safety , which would allow 1800 watts.
If i were you i'd contact a quality electrician.

basically I'm worried about putting a 12k btu ac and a 1k hps on the same 20 amp breaker, if that will work then I know 1 1k hps, 2 fans aND a carbon srvubber should fit nicely on the other 20 amp

unfortunately I can't that would have been my first choice but considering they would probably call the cops that isn't in my best interest!

Yeah i can understand that, you might want to disassemble your grow and hide it, tell them you plan to do some heavy duty bitmining and website hosting and you need to cool your machines and power them (say each has a 1k power supply) that wil lthrow them off your trail.

shit 1800 w isn't covering a 1k hps and 12k ac, bur how does that work bc 12k btu ac with your logic would take like 100 amps!

12k is the btu's the unit can handle not the watts it runs

It was the first GPS strain I grew. I pooped 5 seeds and got three girls. Two were Chem leaners the other was a Kurple leaner. The two Chem learners were green and gold colored and very potent. The gold was smooth, spicy, and chronic halitosis. The green was acrid, garlic, and a bit harsh. The KF leaner was my favorite. It was sweet grapey and spice.
Did some digging and found this shot. It’s the KF leaner at harvest.

Thanks Lub. Not sure how much longer mine have to go. Starting to change colors now. month maybe. I do have at least 1 KF leaner for sure. The SK's and JP's are the best in my garden at the moment.
I got 3 out of 6 Doc females.

5x 600w is better for a space like that, according to a friend experienced with that size space. More intensity, better distribution, ultimately more lumens per watt. Look into it.
You could also run 3-4 600s pretty effectively
