electrical... plugging a power strip into a heavy duty extension cord

Discussion in 'Grow Room Design/Setup' started by fdebozo, Jul 16, 2007.

  1. ok so when i google this question the basic principle says do NOT plug a power strip into an extension cord... but i have seen growers do this and i'm just baffled.

    for me, it would be much much more convenient if i could do this. i got an 'outdoor' heavy duty grounded extension cord (i'm not using it outdoors but it's geared to be able to do that). here are some numbers is has printed on it...

    14 Gauge
    15 Amp
    125V

    does these numbers signify whether or not it's okay to plug a power strip into it??

    please help me :(
     
  2. Plug it in bro.....it will be fine, wrap the two plugs together with elc. tape to seal out any moisture...keep power use under 600 watts and it will never even get warm :smoke:

    It good that ya' ask questions B4 "just plugin' it in".....fires SUX !!!
     
  3. No shit...Fires do blow. Imagine comeing home to a pile of rubble and the firemen and arson investigators are pulling your light reflector out of the rubble....Thats gotta suck
     
  4. what would suck even worse is if they all had a bunch of pizzas and soda.
