here’s what I use. 
 

I have 1 double socket outside my room and 1 double socket inside the room. 

 

ecotechnics 2kw contactor - this uses 2 sockets outside of the room and I fed the cable with 2 gang on into the room To power my single 300w LED panel. This has a timer and socket plug to go into my main house socket with a timer in one and the main plug in the other.

these are utilised to reduce draw on the timer when powering your lights. 
 

 

then internally I have 2x 4way extension to power my lower wattage equipment with 1 plugged into another. 
 

I utilise 1 to 3 way power adaptor straight into one of the mains sockets to power my 2x80w tube heaters on a thermostat. 
 

my fan is connected to an SMS fan controller 

 

I utilise in my room 

1x300w light

2x tube heaters 

2x oscillating fans 

2x water pumps for feeding/circulating 

1x extraction fan with controller 


I manage all this from 2x double gang sockets, 2x extension leads and a lighting contactor. 

Many thanks!!!, very clear.

No idea was existing a contactor and I will definitely take it for the light.

The light is a socket with timer.

The fan is a socket

The 2 fan connected together with a multi socket (32W) I will put an extension 2 gangs

Heat mat with Inkbird one socket

X2 Tube heater connected together with a multi socket (180W) other extension lead.

 

7 sockets in total. With two main plug one for the light and 5 in extension socket ( what I am doing now).

Is this ok for a personal grower?

 

 

But by the sounds of things the way your currently working it seems fine to me.

 

Getting a spark in to fit more sockets would be a waste of time and money IMO. Just my 2p's tho.

 

 

Is there no way of you running an extension from another room?.. Its what I do.

Thanks!

Would be ideal to run an extension from another room, but Unfortunately is not possible...I should run a cable from inside the house outside to the space...
