ok man no probs its shabby like i said mate but i have seen worse.. i've also sorted the wires out since this pic so its in order not a bloody shambles!!! lol what you think im thinking about putting this ballast in a metal box to make sure if there is summin that would start a fire its gona be in a box with no air... if you see the third pic thats why im not sure it looked so bad it was harsh but it looks alot better now thank god but im using a fluro to veg and this 250watter has a mh bulb so thats why i wana get it workin so much

Ah, I see. Ideally what I would do with that is to check all of the wiring, all the points that have been soldered/crimped/etc, look for corrosion, damage, leaks in the caps (depending what they are) - that sort of thing. If it seems good it's probably fine, but like you say, things break all the time and it's not a bad idea to enclose it all.

A good (ie: proper) case for that might run £15-20, though, mind you. Might be worth it just to go for something new instead, depending how handy you are and what bits of scrap or tools you have access to. Difficult to say, mate. I'm cavalier as the next guy, and I'd have no problems powering it up to test it, etc, but I personaly wouldn't leave any electrics like that running in my gaff unsupervised for long periods of time. It all breaks eventually and you don't want your place burned to the ground on account of it.

Hi jay, those buds are really filling out and looking incredibly sumptuous!!! My mouth is watering as I type LOL. Thanks for the great pics as always.

cheers, buddy - now the challenge is to remain stocked to tide me until harvest so I'm not tempted to start swinging my cutting arm

Wow man, that looks pretty damn cool, like a bonsai weed tree. I'm thinking of growing this strain outside this year, is it too late to get decent results from them?

Can't say from experience, and it would depend on where you live, but I'd say most likely yes if you started them within a week. Figure they'd be at the stage mine are at now by mid August, ready to finish mid to late September.
