I got into a lot of portable generators a few years ago and I the what you want is an L14-20 after that there would be a P or R designation for plug or receptical.

Ya you can get a plug for 20a @ 240v. Don't know if you can get it at HomeDepot, but any electrical supply house can hook you up.

I hope you don't mind me jumping in here, Brick, but this is one area of the forums where I can some advice. I just bought my equipment, and am building my first grow op this weekend. I've asked so many questions, some of which were probably really stupid, and everyone has been so helpful. Its...

I haven't done much research on auto strains. These are strains with ruderalis genes in their lineage, right? And they flower under a longer light cycle, like 14 or 16 hours a day? Are there any problems associated specifically with auto strains? As for other criteria, I would like a feminized...

ya as a group growers are a paranoid lot, lol, but we have to be; we're persecuted.

I've spent $2500 on equipment this week, so I'm not going to flinch at spending a couple hundred on seeds; I don't like to do things halfway. BTW, this weekend I'll be building my grow room, then I'll start a journal and post pics. Thanx for the help guys.

I'm looking for 8 wks or less for my first grow. I'm doing one grow, then I'm going to move the grow room. I don't want to move live plants, so I'm going to grow mothers from seed, then cut the mothers down to nothing for clones. With all that I'll be at least 3 months in before I start...

A transformer affects voltage. Your problem isn't getting the correct voltage. The 120v circuit in your garage operates off of EITHER L1 or L2. The 240v ballast operate off of BOTH L1 and L2. You can check for another 120v ciricuit nearby that operates off the opposite leg. If yours is an...

not even one suggestion?:cry:

Don't hold me to this, but I believe the device you need to do the above is called a phase rectifier. It can change the timing of phase alteration (from 60hz to something else), reverse the phases, or "flatten" alternating current to DC positive.

Keep in mind that smell proof to a person doesn't necessarily mean smell proof to a dog.

You're the 2nd person to tell me that...thats what I'm gonna do

$20 at harborfrieght, and there is one 15 minutes away...sounds like my solution, thanx bro

Single phase 240v service operates with two legs, L1 and L2. 120v circuits operate off one leg, and 240v circuits operate off two legs. If you have two 120v circuits and they operate off different legs, then you could wire them to get 240v. A transformer won't help you. There is a way to turn...

I hope you don't become rude with me if I misintepret your questions. The guy is doing people a favor, lurking on these forums, answering people's questions...if you really appreciate his efforts, you sure don't express it very well. In any case, yes, the utility will investigate a discrepancy...

exactly, thank you

you're right about pulling air slower thru the filter being more effective, and I'm not worried about smell. I'm worried about people walking by and hearing it. Does anyone have any experience with this. where a vent is led outside, what does it sound like in the vicinity of the vent?

If I'm not mistaken, it sounds like you're talking about the lateral service feeder to the home. I've worked on live service entrance cables, and I've watched linemen splice live underground laterals. Both are high risk operations even when you know what you are doing. Seriously, do not attempt...

typical receptacles are rated to 15a 120v, you do find some 20amp in homes, tho. then you get into the larger 2-pole receptacles for dryers and stoves and such. but if you have it on the correct breaker then it won't melt, unless it grounds out, then it will arc some just before the breaker trips

Do you have a link? Where did you get yours?
