Thank you Weedman. I have decisions to make.
Should I run new 110 to the room and not use existing? The house is 60yrs old and houses occasionally burn in this neighborhood from faulty wiring. But then that room has just had lamps/phone charger/etc, plugged in 24/7. Im thinking just change out receptacles?
The potted pic are all males except the two on the left. Still have plenty!
The 2nd to last pic i popped that seed mid Feb. and shes a monster, blue dream cross I bred. Ive been practicing training or she'd be twice as big! Everything in the ground are Fem.
I noticed my FF schedule says twice a week, Have been doing just once until last week. They are loving the two feedings. Handeld it great. The darkest green!!!! Thanks weedman!!!

I will have the electrician inspect what I got and get his advice. At least change out receptacles, which I can do.
Ive already learned so much from you and this site Weedman!........Ruderalis is the breed you get the auto flower from? YES!
I tried sexing seeds from a Utube vid. and I got 2 out of ten females! Maybe I did it backwards. not sure.

Hi 4Dutchess.
For a 9x5 tent I would add a dedicated line. The old wiring is not an issue unless its been messed with. I have 100 year old knob and tube that electricians say is fine.
But if you fill tent with 50w psf you will be close to 15 amp and easy to trip circuit with fans etc. Check my math, my brain has been on the blink lately.
Doesnt cost any more to install 20 amp circuit, to allow for 2nd tent.:Namaste: you never know how far this will go.

Thanks Kingston. I was doing 600w HPS and wiring like this........Single 20amp 240v circuit for lights, Another 2nd 20 amp 120v circuit for other equip.

Now Im going with LED's and not sure how to wire. Maybe have it installed HPS way that way I can switch if needed during grow or need to change up and already wired or it. Thoughts??
 
the 2 lines you plan on will cover any need you may have as far as I can see. Plus it's pretty easy to convert a 240v to 2nd 120v if somehow you needed more than 20 amps of 120v. Running wires is a pain in the ass, so if you think you might want the 240v in the future install it all at once. 2 lines is probably a good idea. I'll probably end up running a 2nd line myself. I just upped my flower room lighting to 1850w, plus I still have to add venting and fans plus power for my veg room. 20 amps seemed like a lot more when I had it installed.

Why don't you start your own journal so we can watch the build out and fill up of your grow?:high-five:

Thankyou! I will wire it that way. I thought so. The fuse box to the room is about 6'.
I would start a journal but I dont know how. Like your urban madness first grow at the bottom of your page I dont know how to do. I thought about starting a thread but I want to stay where I can get help and advice. Im half way cleaning out the room and I should of taken a pic before I started. The room was just my bedroom for 7yrs and it was filthy, cluttered and full of crap. Having to go through everything and cleaning out is a chore but thanks to the good people here it will one day be well worth it!!! I ordered my tent and it should be here soon! Thanks Kingston.

There's a sticky on the grow journal page that explains everything conveniently called How to Start a Grow Journal.

Of course what that guide doesn't say is that keeping up a grow journal really cuts into your time surfing other journals.:surf::laughtwo:

Here's how to start a journal.
Ok. Go to forums. Then grow room, then journals in progress, then start a new thread. It'll be a small black button just above where it says how to start a journal.

Hey weedman.......could you explain the low stress training a little more in detail and what the benefit's are. Peace.

Let me try...... LST benefits are...... you open the plant so the inner buds have room and sun and turn into major tops instead of little sun starved nuggets. It keeps them from growing too tall.
This is the first year Ive tried LST. I pinched and bent. pulled under the wire cage. Zip tying and bamboo poles. And topped too. Im happy so far.

Sure brother... Low Stress Training is the technique where the plant is caused to bend in a specific position which is beneficial to their growth and yield. By bending the tip of your plant into a position which is favorable to the plant's growth at an early stage before it naturally bends itself would increase potency of growth. The bent position of the plant would force it to grow horizontally and causes nodes on the side to grow more buds that will grow upward. Hope this helped you- Happy Growing:high-five:
