I’m so happy to have found this forum. Its a lot more active than the other forums I’ve been a member on for years.
Thanks everyone for your replies and feedback, appreciate it.
I wasn’t to clear in my first post. I have a 200 amp main panel in a somewhat newer home. I have an electrician coming at the end of the month to review my layout and equipment list in more detail and come up with a game plan to wire it all up, all up to code. Will definitely at a minimum be running a 200amp sub-panel down into the grow area which may split into more panels… really up to the electrician to implement a design to suit my needs.
I do know he plans to have the a/c on timers to ensure the a/c is only on in one room at a time. Lots of fail safes in what he discussed with me. I plan to do the laundry, run dishwasher and cook etc when the veg room is lights out from 3pm-9pm. But who knows, maybe I have the extra load to not have to do these types of “lifestyle” changes… won’t know until I fire it all up.
