copy that
im moving in 2 weeks anyways and we already have to rewire the garage im just trying to figure out how deep we have to go. its fine if i cant use it for a couple weeks just a bit of streching
Adding new circuitry to an electrical panel isn't something someone should try to "figure out how to do that". If you don't know, please, hire an electrician.
You might consider pulling a phat 240 volt feed for a dual channel lighting controller like a Titan Helios 8 for example. With dual trigger cords it could control lighting for two rooms or just one. Would leave a lot of room for expansion. Just something to consider.
im not going to attempt something im not qualified to do lol, no worries there. im pretty poor with my wording i apologize i tried putting that in my signature. but i just wanted to know if i can use this now or have to wait. the garage isn't really wired correctly for a grow as is so we planed on having my grandpa (hes an electrician) come guide us in reiring the garage once we move in
im attempting to do around 300 sq foot of growing atm so im open to whatever. we were aware that we needed to significantly raise the amperage of the place but didnt quite think about the 240 thing. i dont think its really the end of thew world here and i will definitely look into that
In that case you may want a larger controller than the Helios 8. Figure out what your maximum lighting load would ever be, including side lighting potential and size the feed / controller for that. It may also be nice to pull another 240 volt feed for AC, perhaps one for a large dehumidifier as well. Or pull a sub panel to the grow room and then feed everything off that (my preferred method as any future additions only need to be wired a short distance.)
I agree. If OP is wanting such a large space anyway, may as well do it right from the onset.
