BB grow! DOG Kush (canna cup entry 2012)Deep Blue & Psycho Killer :D

Think it was the fitting in the hood, was flickering a while back, ballast was about 4 year old been used a fair bit. Think it was just its time. I'll have a replacement hooked up tomorrow so I guess its no biggie.

Its annoying me.thinking where the other setup I had has disappeared to. Losing things is one of my bug bears

This is minor compared to your last burn.
I run digital ballast and have never had a fire.....they just quit working. Pay a couple of dollar more and sleep well.

Ain't that the truth man. That's why I went digital. I explained the trip switch process to my lady and its safe and no real damage done.

If it's like me, it'll turn up when you're not looking for it, to which I think, so that's where I put it.....and you'll forget where it is when you do need it.

Guaranteed it's waiting at the front door for you when you get back with your new ballast.......I spent a day looking for my kindle. I gave up eventually thinking I've probably left it in Spain. Next day opened the same box I had looked through the day before and there it was, the black kindle lying flat on the bottom of the black box....ffs, had to squint to see it, lol.

honestly, I think i must have loaned or given it to someone over the course of the year or so I downed tools. I had a moment this morning and thought I'm real angry it's blown and I'm having to replace it at the worst poss moment. then i realized I haven't burnt the house down and am a very lucky man.

that said I know i'll fine it at some point and be furious with myself. hahahaa

Amen to not burning yer hoose doon.

aye lad, new ballast and a straight red bulb to go with a cheapo reflector which i'll not be using for 80 notes today, about a half ounce for not having a house for crimbo I can deal with.

That's the way to do it. Look at the positive

So glad you didn't burn down the house!

Use some dielectric gel on your connections and you can prevent that from happening.



It is great when you are stroking!

Love the vid @curious old fart

not as glad as I was trust me! my gf was like what if the cat had died!!!

lol lubing up electrical sockets sounds a little wrong to me.

Just prevents corrosion, and after a bit if time corrosion will cause less and less conductivity between 2 conductors, thus causing heat the more corrosion builds up at the connection. Not sure if the stuff in the pic is for electrical equipment specifically, but scracthing off corrosion and applying some anti corrosion spray or paste can fix electrical shortages sometimes. Just make sure power is off before u go and try to scratch off anything off.

with my habit of blowing things up and burning ballasts out I'll leave them well alone and not go scratching green217!


And Don said let there be light! You don't realise how clapped out your bulb is til you get a new one. it's hella bright in there, and I've not even got it to superlumens lol.

the plants are falling all over top heavy. I've got allsorts holding them up. Bits of string and gaffer tape etc. I need my roof cube pronto.

the apollo11xCindy99 at the back had been getting singed but probably lost a couple grams tops. the thick cola'd plemon smells like jack herer lemon and spice, looks another week or so off the other is a few days. apollocindy's the same.

And there's small gnats kicking about by looks of it. Didn't even get one clean grow lmao

Loving the ribbon mate . Colas looking phat!!!!

I've also lost all types of string in the house move. polka doted ribbon up top and the bottom bit with gaffer tape is off an old ratchet strap. Real pro lmao.

Did you wank your new bulb off?
I'm gonna do it to all my bulbs. It relaxes them and they work harder now lol

Lol no I didn't.
