Dude, 4x 600w easy unless your wiring is janky as fuck.

the wiring is normal I guess but I have a 12k btu ac, 2 fans, and a carbon scrubber, I don't think 4 600w hps plus all that will fit on two 20 amp breakers without blowing the breakers daily!

If you run one of the breakers on 240v and run all lights off that breaker it would work 2400w/240v equals 10 amps. What kind of fans are you running? Watts of fans? lights and fans could probably run all off one breaker depending on the fan. They would also need to be able to run on 240. and the ac on its own breaker

but I have no idea how to hook up at 220 and my plugs are 110 and I'm in an illegal state so I can't just call an electriction!
as for the fans it's a 20 dollar oscillating fan, idk the watts but I'm sure it's low, the carbon scrubber is a 960cfm 10 in online fan, I also don't know the watts but could find out when lights come on!

Do you have a buddy that's COOL and knows a little about electric/wiring? I wouldn't recommend changing wall plugs that were previously 110v to 220v for several reasons ,lf I was you I would consider bringing in a new 220v circuit from your main to run all lights or to run just AC.

ime the majority (of course not all) of my electricians/plumbers/mechanics/hvac pros havent minded a little nug as a tip
of course its probably safest to ask around but most of those fellas are pros who are there to do the job.. with that said I have known a maid or two who have set up kick doors.. guess it all about evens out

that's what I really want to do but I've been trying to find a friend of a friend type of deal to get it done but no luck yet the one person I know that could do it I don't trust in that "area" so unfortunately I'm kinda screwed that's why I'm Turing to you guys for any other possible options!

You may have to just make an investment into some LED’s.
Build some QB’s. I know there is a somewhat steep intitial investment, but you may have to go that route. You would be happy with the investment.
Hell, you would most likely be able to X out the ac unit as well.
Smash it with HPS you have now, take 500.00 and start a decent build.
Next rip... same thing...rinse and repeat.

Go to your local grow store.. buy an overpriced product and ask if they have a bulletin board or any recommendations. Good way to find people who are "cool"

The best thing to do is make friends with a carpenter, lol. My best friend back in Illinois was a kick ass carpenter and was always able to hook me up on the down low. He showed me how to run extra circuits and what amps to go with etc.
Again the other way is do as someone suggested and tell the electrician you're running powerful computers so you need 220/240 or tell them you got a big as lathe or planer you plan on installing, lol.

is your house on a slab or foundation?Hooking up a 220 or adding extra lines is babyshit man.really simple.
It's pretty simple, probably could walk you through it! Are you a pretty good jack of all trades?

only issue with that is I try to stay perpetual so If I shut down to do this I'll lose all my genetics! lol its always something... trust me I know, unfortunately I think my 2 best options are drop 2k on leds, or hope I can get someone to run a dedicated 220 to the room! neither are perfect for me but I'm not seeing any other viable options
