How many watts from a house?

[retard2]

Hi.
Im thinking about expanding my grow and kinda wonder what I can do. The problem is that I don't really have a clue how much juice I can use from my house. Using outlets from different fuses I can understand but relayboxes and switchboxes???. I have 230V in my normal outlets and two 380V outlets for appliences I can use.


Currently growing a 2400W EF

And yes I know it is stupid for so many reasons to "go commercial" but there is waaaay to little quality weed in my town and I want to help my fellow stoners(and make a few bucks)

well I've only grown in apartments so far..I'd love to work with a house ... depending on the size I wouldn't realy use over 3kw 24/7, personally I'd run very little on the house maybe 2k, and an 8k generator....What strains you usualy run?

It is nice to have a house yes. I am planning on moving my grow there around new years and expanding it. why would you use a generator? I'm only plannig to do it there for about a year so around the time they check the meter the next time I should be finished. Way to much hassle with a generator, getting 50liters of diesel each day, turning it on/off...

I've ran over 10k in a house; no problems. Get an electrician that you trust to show you the way, or buy some books and do ALOT of reading before messing with wiring (what I did).

a guy I know is a certified electrician so he's gonna get me as many watts I want. I'm not telling him for what purpose I want it and he doesn't ask questions.. What do think about powering the lamps? having a couple of these www.hydroponics.eu/product.asp?Id=4926-Control+Unit+with+Grasslin+Timer+8x600W for powering ballasts and www.hydroponics.eu/product.asp?Id=1730-Prima+KLC-2M+Climate-Controller for controlling fans.

My house if everything works out:
two rooms for flowering 11m2 & 12m2
one room for cloning and moms 6m2

no vegging what so ever, as soon as they have roots it is 12/12
rolling SOG

Sounds good...I use the Sentinel HPH-8 controller. It's treated me well.
