Hi there im in desperate need of help i had bought 4 2000watt led lights but their main power draw is 80watts each ive just had a brand new fusebox fitted but i cant seek help from my housings electrician due to obvious reasons. I was using three lights originally which did trip the sockets switch in fusebox when turning them on but eventually stayed on so ive tried to add the 4th but everytime iled lights can tried to power on each light it would trip so i had to go back to 3. Im using a 4 point extension which is brand new now on reading the thing on top of light is stamped 2.5v surge now can someone please help as im now going to buy a 420w 1 big light or 720w big light now if i can run the 3 small lights and exhaust fan off the 4 point extension then why is that not blowing the fuse switch. Now im unsure what to do about buying the stronger lights. Im prob going with the omega proton 720w rather than the phlizon fd4000. Any advice would be very welcome thank you Jeffc
LED lights can cause an inrush current which is enough to trip the breaker. It's about the time current curve of the particular breaker. Try splitting the lights so they don't come on at exactly the same time

Mate its sound just put in my 720w omega photon plus its sitting 1340mm from floor im doing 5 autos and 5 photos so im pretty screwer in height as pot heights are 230mm tall so i dont know what to do im nearly 5 weeks from seed on all of them. I have a 2m tall tent but carbon filter is nearly sitting down 300mm so im prob screwed with th photos. U any advice of keeping them shorter im thinking of topping photos now and hopefully they stay small as autos usually only do 120cm the lights amazing but the hardest experiance of trying to put up my self so im keeping it there as its more or less 1100x1100 in a 1.2x1.2x2m tent so i will just have to run it at 50% 5 weeks in then go 75 or 100% in flower as its far too hard to alter height of light. It never flicked switch running at 100% with small fan and air ram filter exhaust with carbon filter . Can u give me any advice. Please i will never do photos again due to space or height its autos all the way ive 30 seeds the now so im cooking with gas lol

relocate all you can outside the tent?
 
If you need vertical room move the air fan outside with ducting and move the light ballast outside.
More room.

i dont understand how you ran out of vertical space in a 2m tall tent already.

Happened to me on my first grow in my first tent and I maxed out my height for my lights and light %. The damn thing kept growing till it touched the lights. Ordered a new text that year from 6 feet to eight foot tent.

yeah check his other thread to see how those 10cm godzillas basically left no vertical space at all.

the problem is not that he is out of vertical space its that he hung the lights at 1.3m and has about 40cm more vertical before touching the carbon filter and his plants are like 50cm from the ground with the pots so he has like 80cm between plants and the lights with zero training and i suggested many methods but the guy just refuses to read up on the subject.

trust me buddy you got all the help you need at this point you need a grow coach to physically be there to hold your hand or you might wanna read up on the basics of growing a little bit.

your autos and photos are tiny if you expect them to be around the heights you mentioned when they finish and that’s why you are quoting those measurements it shows me that you haven’t read up on the subject at all and after a while asking about every little thing that you can find the answers for very easily using the search function will deter people from trying to help you.

i am telling you you need to read up on the subject please do. read up on plant training i suggested you mainlining for example did you read about it? did you search for a tutorial on mainlining?

No i apologise but i thought i was doing right with coco coir coco feed a and b nutes and then getting a huge light. They were only growing from start at 240w under cheap leds which didnt cut the mustard. Yeah i know my pot size of 10 litre is a minimum choice but i never intended on growing photos but even at this stage roots are shotting at bottom of pot so i know you will say 20 but i like to push the boundries my tent size u should do 4 to 9 pots max. I am trying ive got a beginners growing guide book by joseph bosner and yes i havent heard of him but it got good reviews i do hate reading because my brains in overdrive prob adhd but i like talking on here and other grow sites and next time im using 80/20 pearlite coco coir is that cool.what is mainling ? A short definition just to guide me would be nice Thanks. Jeff c

You could just use ties and make them go sideways for 6" each branch then up again, it deals with all the height, I train around everything and do my best not to trim.

Well i just hope its the photos hopefully i can pull off just growing autos mate how would you tie them to inner frame ?

Actually I've started using wire struts internally to use out push force rather than tie down to the outside but at this stage, outside tie downs. Use soft cover gardening wire. First tie the whole branch so it's lightly pulled outward to spread with a little tension thengently arc the stem to the right and wire tie it in position. Over a few days it will assume a neat right angle turn.

If you want to move them go with his way if they will stay there until the end then net

I do his way still but you have to do each branch takes time.net you just pull under done
