how many lights can i safely use

[DB2004]

You may feel safe putting nearly 100A on a leg DB,I would not and wouldn't consider it.80% pertains to feeders as well as branch circuits when continuous loads are concerned,I'd go 80A a leg at the very max.

Each leg is capable of 200A. 100A on one leg leaves about 60A to spare. Even wired for 240, it's still the same KVA. Read what I said more closley, I'm actually a third year apprentice with 2 years of EE.

Best Regards

I think you people are overpricing the bud. You must be talking some dank name brand stuff at cali club prices by the lb. It all depends what are your in.

Also like some have said allready, the ac, fans, pumps will be a signifigant power draw as well. To have a massive draw like and not be noticed, you'll need to be in the right area, and probably have a generator??? Maby a commercial account?

The "Massive indoor commercial grow" thread, (great trhread by the way.) Covers prety much everything. To bad about the first part missing all of the most important posts.

Ok but street value is still $350,000.....lol 56 pounds of stright kill is going very expensive...i wish i knew those kind of people....but i was just saying that you could sit on that much weight for 5 yrs and sell it by the 1/8 and basically pull arouung $70,000 a yr if you sold it that way....
But of course if you sell it all at once or half of it here then the other half there your not going to pull anywhere near $350,000 unless you sell it to straight idiots....

56 ps would require yeiding 2.8 p's a light...not gonna happen especially with that size of a grow. it would be more like 1.5p's a light if all goes as planned, no fuk ups so 30ps total and if it all came out nice you could expect around 3500 per.

the start up costs for all the equip and build out would be huge... then you'd have a lot on the line as far as makin sure your crop doesn't go south for any reason.. could you imagine settin up a 20k and loosin the crop

you'd def want a generator.. probably propane. and to power 20k in lights you would need a good reason for the generator. ppl might get away w/ usin the power company for that amt of voltage but thats risky imo.

probably lookin at 20000 in just lights/generator.
plus maybe a g or 2 for ventilation/odor control/dirt/nutes/etc..id polyshield the **** outta the area too.

get err done right the first time. no **** ups allowed.
if its a new place make sure u take care of the permits.

and id def get rid of the product in a diff city..too risky pumpin that shit out w/o some1 catchin on in your town.
