For me I was so excited to see anything grow. I got over anxious about watering and feeding. I was anxious about that and not watching where my ph was in soil or water. I also did what you said, reacted to every little non-conformity. I killed a lot of seedlings. I now have 3 close to harvest, they aren’t trophies but the thing is I learned so much. I will enjoy what I have.

@NMHiker my grows are never the picture perfect plants I see many post of but I get get good yields and most important is the quality…my circle of local growers always comment on my flower and swear I must be doing something secret that I am not sharing with them.

Well… plants are harvested and electric bills came and gone… Id say I’m going to keep away from running a/c for just two little autoflowers. But I am happy with the grow… the girls turned out beautiful and I think I’ll get pretty close to my 8 oz goal. I did have such a good time that I picked up a SE5000 and a larger tent so I can do 4 at a time. Thanks for the advise and comments and happy growing peoples!!

Once you go to the sun 
you will never go back. Or maybe I am just weird. My aquariums max my circuits so I am at the mercy of the sun. I dont care enough to redo my 80s house with a new 200amp main.
Your future salsa garden says sun me.
Natural gas generators are always an option, easier install than a new service IMO. 
I want solar for the greenhouse when it goes up. Id also like to power my tents with solar… just not sure what setup to go with yet??

You can add extra small main come off 220 from your main and have a second main breaker then put 110 breakers in it that’s what I did
I think the issue is not having enough total amperage at the main rating. Most likely a 150A panel. If you measure total ampacity in the dwelling unit you can figure your current output. Adding a 30/60A 2/pole 240v breaker is probably putting him over the rated main. Adding a secondary just requires more shalls and shall nots from NEC involves shall be within sight, shall have disconnecting means(safety switch), in a grounded no neutral bar having system. Mostly it is in houses older than 80’s. The 50’s/60’s built ungrounded systems to be exact. If you ever want a home vehicle charging system(basic level 2 system) installed in your home, you might as well plan on having a panel upgrade. Rebates cover most of that cost if available. Apologies for the long off topic response.
