I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure all this crap out. My electrician for this upgrade has cancer and is busy with all that so I'm trying to do as much by myself as possible. Ironic though that he is holding my progress up at the moment and becoming my patient in need at the same time.
Anyways I got a panel specifically for my new grow. It has 5 breakers in it for all my 120v stuff and currently 3 x 30 amp breakers for my 240v stuff. My current goal is to get 4 lights on one breaker max. So 30 amp break runs to an outlet via 12-3 romex. Here is where it gets frustrating. I want to try and get a 240v duplex outlet (15a) or worse case a single outlet (20a). I need to get 4 lights on one breaker and I'm not sure specifically how to do it. I have gavita pro 1000s which has a 5 amp draw, so on the duplex it would be a 10a draw on a 15a outlet, and on a single outlet it would be 5a draw on a 20a outlet leaving me buffer space for spikes. How can I attach a second box or 3 more boxes to the first one so that I can run 4 lights off one breaker?
