wooo thats alot of growing..
if its a house id sugest a flipflop w/10 ballists
how big a house? one of the McMarijuana Mansions were hereing about? maybe u could go w/15 or 20 like u wanted. warehouse? go more 30..
thats about 200 amps ur talking about. thats a gang of power.
i hope for your sake ur not planing on stealing juice.thats bad karma, if u do, id sugest having a seperate run for the lights and have the house draw 'normal' power.. u know TV microwave a bit of a/c

if your house is all electric 9no gas stove) its easier to get away with more juice.

im not dishn ya or anything but whats your growing experince if you have several years of sucessful growing experince your questions would be answered by your experince. 20k is alot of lighting and yield potentional and to be sucessful would take dedication for what 500-700 plants easy. i have 30 under a 1k hps that require alot of dedication so times my 30 plants under 1 light by your 20 lights =600 plants approx. lotsa work way to much for this oleman lmao


one of the McMarijuana Mansions were hereing about G1 DH

If you ever get to the electrical part,wire your fixtures for 240V.You cant do 20 1K fixtures with a 200A service at 120V,but you can at 240V.

Got a set of nut?? Then LET EM HANG!!!!!!! Good luck and make sure that that electrical is sound. One crop like that, you tight.

I would love to have a 20 light setup. I wouls run all that shit in soil with organic nutes 2 gallon pots, hand water, and you right that would equal about 600 plants. at 1-2 zipps apiece at market rate............... DAMN THATS SOME $$$$$$

Actually, you can can run 20 1K ballasts wired for 120V. The 200A service is a total of 48 KVA. 20 ballasts is still 20 KVA. 10 120V ballasts on each 120V line.
