Jay made good on the order with an upgraded pack and 3 free packs

Yea it's all open and the panel is like 10-12 ft away from my room, I was kind of figuring I could just run a new wire, but I came on here for some advice haha, thanks for bearing with me

its in a finished wall in my living room i want to take the wire to the basement where my lights would be. the breaker is in the basement as well

its in a metal box. Is there a difference between the two?

haha gotcha glad you came out unscathed, i already have the fuses out of the breaker i have now for like 6 years. Now i just wanna add another light and figured i could use this 30 amp

damn dude, why would you do that?

i have seen some like that, i was just thinking that hardwired right to the controller would be a little cleaner, but yea i could essentially just plug it right in.

yea its connected to a 240v receptacle that i used to have a 240v air conditioner plugged into. i have since then got a smaller ac and this 240v is unused.

the 30 amp breaker is already in place its already connected to a 240v receptacle, so youre telling me i need to get an electrician to hook a wire up to the controller.

right on thanks for the replies. Its from an A/C receptacle that was never used. Im just going to run a new 10-2 wire from the 30 amp right to the controller. This is what the installation instructions call for from what i can tell.

so when is your seed bank opening up haha. jk jk

My 30 amp breaker is also separate from my main breaker, with knob and tube wiring. probably not the best but its all that i have to work with at the moment.

Even if the ballasts are rated for 240?

right on, thanks a lot i appreciate it.

Rezin, thanks for the reply. i am now looking at a Hydrofarm MLC 4x 4 light controller. can i hook this directly up to my 30 amp breaker and then run 240v cables from my ballasts to the controller?
