Got my 15A GFCI w/14-2 installed w/single pole breaker plenty to power my miscellaneous gear thanks to this thread!

Next step ...
For the lights--My LED's for veg room 4x4 Solarstorm 440 runs @ 1.46A/240v -2.92A/120v for flower room 5x5 the Mars Hydro II runs @ 6.54A/110v--3.46A/220v.

Is it safe running extension cords to lighting outlets and is there a maximum length? Will 12g wire be adequate?

If you have to use extension cords then #14 would be adequate at your current draw. The 80% rule still applies.

That's one nice discussion you guys are sharing here, proper wiring should be done for the grow room to avoid any sort of accidents.

Nice of you to say so. Rives is the guy- I just try to pitch in a little.

Safety matters, a lot. People get away with ignoring it or not understanding it until it jumps up & bites 'em in the ass, hard.

I mean, what's the worst case scenario? Burning down the house. If I can help people avoid that, I will.
