Since the new rules are out(MMAR end of personal growing 3/31/2014).I will upgrade Room from 2.4k of lighting over 3x9 area
to around 4.8k(8x600)My question is for sparky's may i dbl feed wire in my sub panel.Now my feed wire is 8/3 on 40 breakers,what if i dbl feed wire 2 8/3 wire on there own 40 breakers meeting at sub panel or i will have to upgrade to 6/3?
Money is not an option safety is!feed wire is around 20 feet long from main to sub same building(basement grow)

I used to have both. Someone sent me a link for the Black and Decker Electrical Wiring book in PDF format. Seems I deleted it last time I cleaned out my msg box....

I'm off to Rona now to get a manual...one I can't delete.

Looks good, OBJ. I'm not sure how I missed this (Christmas?), but don't hesitate to drop me a PM if you ever have a question that I might be able to help with. Did you get your feeder question figured out?

YEs this the solution adding a new sub panel only for powers 8 x 600watts original sub panel will power all other thing dehu\fan\water pump\cooling\heating\co2\water chillers\fluo\Mh\etc.
