Hey im a new grower and i need some more space i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to send electricity to a garage basement from my house. Also i was wondering how would it be possible to increase the allowed amps in any given area.
:blsmoke:
thanks for any help and your time
 
Geez buddy, this is out of my league, what I wanted to say to you thou, maybe you have a friend whos an electrician? I would not have ass my wiring, do it right. Perhaps you could barter with a friend to wire it properly?
 
It depends on your needs.

If you need to be safe(you have kids in the house, you're around those who would frown on this shit or you're really uptight) then pay an electrician. Don't tell them a thing. Just tell them you want service for x amps at a certain location, then take their bids.

If you're ok with a ghetto rig just run good outdoors grade extension cords from rooms where you're not using so much electricity. But if you have any problems with mice or rats, be sure to inspect them regularly. Fuckers will chew through them.
 
im growin quite a few plants......................i know how to get the wires out to my building but im not sure how to put it all together at the end.................and i was wondering does anyone know how many amps 3 100 watt flourescent lights and 4 400 watt high pressure sodium lights would be
 
Sure, call your electric supplier and ask them. There are several books on how to wire circuits. Have you ever done any kind of electric wiring?
 
then you may not need to expand your main.

If you've got the money for those lights you've probably got money for an electrician. Just call one and tell him you want to set up a workshop in whatever shed/barn you're running the circuit to. He'll give you a quote and then install it for you.
 
i just dont want to get any other people involved that i dont have to right now i have 3 guys that know, my brother, his friend from third grade, and my friend from fifth grade i just dont want too many people seeing this because it is in a very hidden and suspicious place.
 
Home depot has a book about wiring that will give you all you would need to know to accomplish this as long as you have the open circuits.
 
well then you run into the ghetto option again. You could run the extension cords and bury them in the ground. But then you have the problem of varmints chewing on them.

I guess you could bury them and then put them in conduit. It would prevent varmints...but seriously...if you're going to work that hard and spend that much....better to get someone to run it and hook it up for you.

Hmmmm. I'm trying to get creative here.

Tell you what. If your main is in the garage, just have the electrician wire some new breakers for you for high powered lights in the garage. Amateur mechanics use them to look at their motors and shit.

Once he's put in the breakers for you, you just turn the breakers off and then re-run the electricity out to your shed(put the wiring in the conduit). Presto, you've got bud.
 
ill look into both of those ill go and get a book and read up on ur idea(420penguin) it sounds like it would work hey thank you guys a ton i cant wait to set this thing up i think you've answered my questions.
