Electrical equipment is there to protect electrical circuits and subsequently lives. A short is going to go bang, not particularly safe as you are creating an electrical fault.
I think what you would like to do which would be a lot safer is to use the relay to break the power. Have a feed...

Nice one never knew about them. They look good. I bought dr schimmel thrip terminator but I am unsure wheter to use it, spraying it on buds and also could burn the leaves. Wish I had spent my money on the predator mites in the beginning. May just purchase them now and get them in there. Not many...
Cheers man @diyled built em for me ;)
Cheers, yeah they have already perked up. Can't fault the lights running flat out about 15" from canopy. No burn't tips at this height.
Next run should have the 730nm deep red's installed onto the light fixtures. Just waiting on L brackets to come so I...
Dug out this chart @Randomblame posted a while ago. Got my temperature and humidity looking ok. 40 % hum and 25 degrees c at the moment. Puts me in the 'high transpiration range mid to late flower'. Sweet.
2 days from 5 weeks of flower. You can see the two yellow looking plants at the back there where they never got watered. Everything else looking healthy. Working on bring the temperature up in there.
Yeh going to give a high yielding strain a go next time , and grow it from seed. So that will be a good mixup. Yeh I've seen them stretchy nets, feell like one of those would of been better. The white trellis netting is weak as hell. Might scrap scrog altogether next time and maybe mainline...
You put these together yourself?
Whats with them colour diodes anyhow ?
-660nm
-465nm
-385nm
Just adding 730nm to my lights now for the lights out... can't believe they are looking almost done at 6 weeks. Lovely stuff ay.
Looks like bodhis silver mountain is going to be the size of one at that rate. Growing tall.
You grow multiple strains all at the same time Ay, you try to pick same length flowering time plants or what?
I haven't used them. I have been considering it however. This video shows the effect of UVB on plants ->
The general consensus is that it probably won't increase yields but you are likely to get more resin on your buds / a higher thc content and maybe more complex flavours. The resin is...
Temps in the tent are decent. Lowest I've had in there is 15 degrees ... gonna put a small space heater there I think on a timer. Normally running about 23 degrees in there most the time
Did not have time to water 2 of my plants last week. Been 7 days without water and they look S-A-D. Hm. Gave them a drink, I'm sure they will rejuvinate themselves. However when looking at the buds on the other 3 plants, they look alot juicier.... Oh well man, life gets in the way sometimes...
