What is the maximum size grow a house can support?

[Lazyman]

unless you are eligble for PG&E's CARE program (low income household). I wonder if they'll find it fishy that their CARE account holder is using 4,000kwh per month

Nope, I use 7 without issue.

1 15 Amp Circuit will support 1800 watts of draw (at 80% capacity), one 20 Amp Circuit/Breaker will support 2200 Watts of draw (at 80% capacity).

well guys, i'm finally starting to feel good after an extended illness. i'm drooling to get in again, but this time listen to my guy that does it for a living and let him plan out the rooms for me. i'll even go digital if he tells me i should (and he will).

i will definitely go for care, as i do qualify. time to get my life back. been talking to CL landlords and will be getting a place within a month for sure.

i don't know how to give Karma or whatever on here (olllllddd school OG lurker since 98' and 56k modems). i just want to say most of you on here are such an inspiration. thank you so much.

80% of 15 amps = 12 amps X 120 volts = 1440 watts

80% of 20 amps = 16 amps X 120 volts = 1920 watts

You forgot to take the 80% out. The numbers you provided were at 100% capacity. Never run above 80% capacity for more than 2.5-3 hours at the MOST.

Good catch, sorry bout that.

Quick question. I feel rather stupid, but wtf is a flip-flop.. besides a thong for your feet?

Edit: Nevermind. I'll leave my stupidity there, but its flip/flop. Unless the lingo is different, he's referring to selling his crop.
