I gotta wait till tmrw night to see what his estimate is but i think he is already trying to fuck with me and charge more for parts since he is losing out on the labor. I showed him that pic and said I would like something similar but with only 2 240 plugs, 1 timer, 4 or 6 120 plugs, the 50amp box itself and the 30ft of feeder cable I will need to run from my main fuse box. He responded with saying he needs until tmrw to give me the full estimate but just guessing he thinks the parts would be 100-150 plus he said the feeder cable is expensive and so is the box itself...???? The box shoulda been included with the 100-150!! Anyway I'll wait for the full estimate with the parts he will need labeled bc if he trys to be funny and shoot out a hiiii price I will source and buy all the parts myself and then have him still come over and do ALL the work for free!!!

How far is the main breaker box from where you want your subpanel?
Half the cost could be that lead wire... its beefy and contains quite a few pounds of copper...
Source you one of those lines at 6/3 and the length you want and then you'll know how much extra he's taxing you.

dude I've been trying to keep it spread she turns up so hard it's hard to keep em spread. I bought some bamboo sticks. it's too bad all this time I've been tying her down, in the end, you always have to tie her up. I just started a thc bomb seed gifted to me that I am going to run dwc scrog net frame attached to lid, probably 2' 10" x 3', I guess about 8" high off lid (unless someone suggests otherwise).

I got those too mom's with a successfully rooted clone to replace them, do any of yall think they would fit in there? can they be touching the walls? I know it will be crowded, but I'd like to get them in flower so I can get all my clones under ALL the fluros I have so they have adequate light.

so much to do, so little time..

I forgot about wire, it can be costly. My $120 estimate didn't account for the wire going from panel to panel. I've set up a half dozen separate grow rooms over the last few years and had a spool of wire I've drawn off forever, so I kind of forgot about that aspect of cost

wait what does 6/3 mean? and whats the 55 amp and 70 amp wires called?? Are they just #6 and #4 or is it 6 gauge and 4 gauge? Sorry for all the questions Im just having a hard time figuring it out.....I wanna price about 45ft of both the #4 and #6 wires...that should be close bc I haven't taken the exact length...please...thank you

I can try to be a temporary help....

6/3 wire I believe is 6 gauge wire with (3) cables? (hot, neutral, ground?)
6 gauge is the same as #6
Click to expand...
so do you just need that 1 wire to run from the main box to the sub panel?

Starting to go over my head a bit....but to my understanding a sub-panel takes 1 line in. So just one length from the main to the sub. and give yourself an extra 5-10%
