Ah man, broke my bulb

Just broke my 125 Watt CFL growbulb (70$). Cant do much about it so im just writing it down here. Kinda sucks.

yes i think that would suck how did it break??

Ouch that sucks, did you drop it? Dont go and suck the mercury up right after its broken no mater how tempting it may be.

Was building a small cab, while trying to fit in some fluro tubes i didnt notice i was putting pressure on the bulb, heard a crack, pluged it in to see if it broke, it lit up for a sec and then *pop*, no more light. The pop was the gas ignite and escaping.
I smashed it up over the trashcan for the fun of it, only later i remembered that its poisonous.

Instead of buying a new one i decided to fit out the cab with just fluro tubes to see how it grows.
