Im starting preperation to set up 8000-15000 watts of hps and i dont know how to get that much electricity without setting off some red flags. im thinking generator, but im not sure wether to go propane natural gas or gasoline. i also understand that some generators can be bad for ballests and lighting. And my final problem with a generator is what to do with the exaust, i cant blast hot exaust outside for obvious reasons, and i cant have it vent into the grow or my house because its toxic. Any ideas would very much appreciated, i would like to get this figured out asap!

re: I am trobleshooting an electiicity problem. HELP!
Um.. if you use a generator it should NEVER EVER be inside the building. Always outside. So it exhausts outside.
There are natural gas and propane generators that you've mentioned, but they're usually connected to run as backup generators.
That's a really serious set up though. 8000-15000 watts? How many plants do you intend on growing?

That's really a huge operation man. It's definitely beyond my experience level. Maybe someone else here can help you out, but there's no way I can advise you accurately on how to run such a large operation, anything I say would be pure speculation.

Have you considered solar? Prices have come down. One of my better moves.
