Hi guys and thanks for looking. I need some help. Im planning to flower in a basement with 2 1000w hps, and came to the realization that i shouldn't or can't run this on the 120v circuit currently in the basement. The guy at the hydro shop is trying to talk me into a light controller, which is cool and possibly something I'll want later. But it is out of budget now unless it is a total necessity.
My question is regarding the 240v circuit that the dryer is running on. Is there a simple way to use this for my hps lights? In a perfect world maybe a power strip to plug into the dryer outlet, so i can still use the dryer when lights are off.
Also, if there are power strips to be used, can the 120v cords on the ballasts be used or will those need rewiring?
Thanks for any and all help, ad im pretty damn confused when it comes down to the electricity.
