Hi guys I'm new to the site and growing and would greatly appreciate your help with setting up my grow room. First the room is going into the closet in the basement where my electric water heater is located. The space is roughly 4w X 7L X 7 H , but do to the location of the water heater and other pipers in the closet the space that I really have available to me is really 4W X 2L X 7H. I have painted the 3 side walls and floor with flat white paint.
MY CONCERNS:
of course is safety FIRE!!! lol noooo but seriously fire!
So here is my planned setup for the space I have an air cooled hood(the ones with the glass) which will run a 400w HPS bulb.
A can fan exhaust fan that runs at 279 CFM that I plan on attaching to my 12 inch carbon filter and run it through my hood and out of the room into the rest of the basement ( which is finished and we use sparingly more storage than anything).
I also have a free standing oscillating home fan along with a second clip on fan that I plan to run in the room.
My question and major concern is I have only really one wall outlet close to the room and I want to know if that outlet will support all the electrical needs for that room. Like i said we are not down there a lot and there isn't anything else plugged into that outlet or really anything else in the basement running constantly. There is a TV in the basement on another outlet used very sparingly other than that it's just the lights to the basement that go on when I'm down there.
So do you think that one wall outlet will safely run my equipment? 400W HPS in cooled hood, exhaust fan & two fans? Thanks in advance for your responses!
I hope to add some pictures of the space once I have it up.
My first grow will be 3 Auto's in 3 gallon buckets and I will run a 18/6 cycle for veg and then switch to 12/12 during flowering
P.S Water heater is on it's own circuit breaker.
