you know how sapce heaters give off that somewhat "burny" smell.....
good, hold that thought
I told my dad to tell the guy (if he asked what was plugged in) that a space heater was plugged in and an xbox so.....
I call my dad and the electrition is is still there so I asked him what the issue finally was..... now heres the shitty part
dad tells him the heater was plugged in, so they plug the heater in, then they come to the conclusion that the space heater is giving off the smell!!!!
how dumb, the space heater hasnt been plugged in for 2 months!!!!!!!
they said nothing was wrong w/ our wiring.... I personally think there is, they left thinking it was the space-heater, therefore they prolly didnt even do a full inspection. Im so pissed right now..
The only way I will be satisfied is if the ballast for the light went bad, that way I will know for sure what the problem is, taking it to our local grow shop to have it checked..... Ill get back tomorrow to share the details...
but I will be here for a little longer so if you have any suggestions, please share, Im so bummed right now, Ive got 5 new 10in clones that have mass roots already and I have nowhere to put them except under shit flouros and cfl's
Good point. If you didn't have a problem with a 400 & a 1,000, why would there be a problem now. I guess a mouse could have chewed threw a wire but my moneys on the burnt out ballast senario. Did you buy the equipment new or used, and when? (just curious)the smell is still lingering..... but it is very faint..
last night when I got home I called the electrician back and explained to hime that I KNEW that the issue was not the heater since it hadnt been plugged in for at least a week...
he said he would come back this afternoon sometime and double check things.....
I REALLY hope that he says nothing is wrong!!!
Today, Im having a friend take my ballast to the hydro shop to get it tested, I didnt make it there last nigh as my boss wanted a meeting w/ me at 6 and the store closed at 7..... not enough time.
If it is the ballast, Ill call the electrician back and cancel his appt.
The light that was being used at the time of the odor was a sun-system set-up, where there is 1/ 400hps and 1/ 400 mh we were only using the hps...
in the winter when I did 12 plants we were using the 1000w and the 400w
so shit, if they didnt melt then, I dont see how they would now....................................................................................
