If your main is full where will you put the breaker for the subpanel?100A panel may not support the homes use +a subpanel big enough to run what you want.3-1ks=approx 12-14 amps @240v,25k AC=20-25A approx.@240v,70 pint dehuey approx 7-8A@120v,take into account a 20% safety factor and you need approx. 50A just to run all your grow equipment.

by removing 2 of the 15A breakers that goes to to the flower room . these breakers/outletd are old and i figure i can remove these 2 , so i can add a double pole breaker/sub panel that will be able to handle everything ...
