Something I dont really see talked about a lot is managing the electricity output. From what I understand a standard breaker should be able to handle about 3 full racks with grow lights. Lets say you are growing in a bedroom for example, in most cases there is usually 1 dedicated breaker. That can create a challenge in the sense that you need to either run in extension cords from plugs that are connected to separate breakers. Most breakers are 120v - Typically a subpanel itself is 240v Theoretically that means that in a single home, you can have about 19 racks before you need to get another sub panel installed Now I dont speak from personal experience but rather as im planning out my business I couldnt help but think of this aspect. It seems like if you dont plan for it properly it can definitely create a road block and I would love to hear how you guys dealt with this or if im misunderstanding the information on my end How much was it to add extra breakers/sub panels? How many racks did you have before hit the limit? If you have a dedicated grow space like a warehouse or office, was this something you discussed ahead of time with the landlord? and/or was the space already equipped to handle the electricity usage? 19 racks is a lot and it may sound like im getting ahead of myself on this. Before I sign a long term lease on a commercial space I want to think about what challenges I will face down the line as I scale up and make sure im not hitting a bottle neck at some point where I outgrow the space
