lol so after blowing up the transformer outside for the 3rd time this week the landlord decides to do a little drop in and see what the fuck is going on. He seen the chemsour room, which my partner left UNLOCKED (fuckin idiot) anyways needless to say the landlord says its the nicest grow hes ever seen and that we can continue to do shit here aslong as we hook him up after each harvest. ITS FUCKING ON NOW =) he said he hadnt told a soul not even his wife, and that he had got in serious trouble when he was our age doing the same shit but only outdoor. this dude is down..

So now i gotta flip the chemsour room so that transformer dont blow again. i guess 17kw at once is to much for my 200amp service to hold? makes no since maybe its just old transformer

yeah i know someone who had 22k running in his house, the wire going from his house to the telephone pole burnt down at 2am, he called his electrician and had the wire replaced before morning, if he didnt he would have gotten caught for sure....

he has since lowered his lights to 16, he doesnt flip flop, he runs everything at once.


one thing to remember, for every 1000W light you have a bout 600W of fans, cooling.....ect....

so for 17kw room, your using about 27kw.....thats why when calculating load for a large opp its always best to calculate 1600W for every 1kw light


also lets not forget there are other ppl on this transformer, the guy i know who had the wire replaced at 2am always looks for the transformer when buying a new house, he says that its no good if there are more than 4 houses per transformer.

Holy shit the transformer blew up 3 times?
Maybe consider flip flopping the lights for the next run so you wont be pulling so many amps all at once.
landlord sounds like a pretty good guy

Jesus Christ man!!!!!! F-n-A nice grow man, awesome production set-up man.

With that sized screen, are you able to do any training under the screen or do you just grow then up through the screen fro support?

Sounds like you skated man, good to hear about your landlord. Only think worse than a bad landlord is a bad girlfriend!! Glad you didn't have to rip all that shit out.

Lovely grow man, love the production emphasis.

You using CO2?

Your grow is amazing. After your bad luck on your outdoor operation you deserve some good luck. Nice to hear things are good with landlord.:rtfo:. I read you were switching to organics.:yay:IMO the smoke is a lot less harsh when grown organic. I'm going to grab my seat, hot box, and enjoy your show.:smokeit: Just curious how much are you spending per month on electric?
