if the amps are there on the socket you can plug in for sure. 120V @ 1000 watts = around 9 amps. never go over 80% of breaker ability.
as far as plants, you can fit 1-250 under there.... all what you want to do. as for the pound, try it!
So wait your saying that only the 1000 watt can but plugged into a socket alone? Or other sockets in that room cant be used ?for most home around here the socket is running off a 15amp breaker, perfect for a 1k just make sure you don't use other wall sockets also running off that breaker.
for plant #s depends on veg time, you could veg 1 month and do 16 plants or veg 1 week and do 48. Strain also influences this, less plants for stretchy strains.
I hit ~3/4lb my first 2 rounds under the 1k only utilizing 30-40% of my foot print due to not enough plants/veg time/proper training. Should have no problem exceeding the 1lb mark this round.
My fuel box says its max amps/125 could that be true for an apartment?
100 amps or so sounds right for a 2 bedroom apartment
Thanks, :) dont want to die trying to get some P's lol. drop in soon to show some pics of my new setup thanks for the support.You only want to run 1k and maybe a fan on 1 15amp at 120v. You have to get the electric map for your apartment or justexperiment till you pop breakers ;)
or justexperiment till you pop breakers ;)
Worst advice ever DO NOT experiment with electricity! Find out what sockets go to what breaker and don't exceed 80% unless you want a fire
Put something down on the floor also. Worst is carpeting in a grow. All i see when I look at carpet in a grow is BUGS BUGS BUGS.
Smart move. Recipe for disaster in the long run. If your running a timer on the 1K ballast get a decent one. Try to stay off the same circuit. Typically in an apt, you will only have 1 circuit for both bedrooms. Depends how old it is. Plug a lamp into the receptacles and turn the breakers on and off so you know which is which. Get yourself a cheap mutlimeter, no need to spend a lot on that for your grow, 25 bucks tops. Not like your going out on the job using it daily. You might have to run a cord from the bathroom in case you start tripping that bedroom circuit. The bathroom receptacle is on its own circuit.Yeah that problem was solved i laid out some thick white plastic on the floors throughout the room. And yeah I know what you talking about with the bugs but with my floors laid out it seems to keep me protected from the bugs havent had any problems with bugs lets cross fingers I dont. & I keep it very clean.

Should be a amperage rating on your ballast
