There will be times I will be gone for a week having a friend stop by occasionally to check on it.
Thanks, :harvest:
you gotta have some balls to throw all that in an appt. i wouldnt rock more than 2-4 lights depending on outside conditions. if u wanna stay gone for several days go with dirt
Actually weve used the flame defender's, THe thing with these fire suppressant systems is they will go off if your AC shuts down, At 155* degrees the defender will go off, So your AC could pop a breaker and you could have it go off, The MABO which is coming to me from nl, hasnt arrived, Im tracking it and it just left philly. But fwih its got a gel in it, If it reach's a certain temp it explodes and puts the fire out. It looks pretty cool though.:icon_spin:
, am I correct to think this is just as doable as anybody else running a UC system in a small room with proper power. The risk seams to be if I wouldn't be around to smell, hear, or see anything failing.Get a permit for installing some glass blowing kilns and get a proper electrician to install a subpanel for you. Dedicated dual-protected breakers.
Run them at 240v
Keep them off of any wood or flamable surfaces.
Buy Flame Defenders (Sunlight supply) They will automatically extinguish flames when the temp reaches 155 degrees.
Keep all wiring off of the floor (no janky stuff)
Use proper hardware hanging your lights
Assuming your electrician knows what's going on? Give him spec sheets or model numbers for the actual equipment being used. Discuss plans for future changes, because sometimes they will affect how something may be done now. 7-1000w fixtures will draw 32+ amps themselves on a 240v circuit. That 90amp main is going to really limit you. You'll only be able to load it to 72 amps including everything else in the apartment.Thanks for all your responses...this is helping very much with my decision. I have one week to either be moved out or stay so time is of the essence.:anim_44: If I don't do this grow here, then I have to search for a new home, sign a lease, blah blah blah. I'd like to stay here, which is why I'm really trying to find a way to make this work.
The Positives
- I looked at the main breaker going into my apartment. Looks like there are 2x90 amps coming into my place, so 180 amps should be sufficient.
- I know an electrician who would do all the work/ the circuit breaker box is in the same room, so he said he can run a new temporary panel (not built in the wall) and set it up however I want to be easily broken down if I moved.
- So if I WAS mostly home and did this:
, am I correct to think this is just as doable as anybody else running a UC system in a small room with proper power. The risk seams to be if I wouldn't be around to smell, hear, or see anything failing.
Lastly - For those that have a pretty good understanding of electronics (like BigCountry), what would be safe specs to give to my electrician to start the process and get a quote from him? Thanks Again -SC :harvest:
