yeah thats right, remember that block of white stuff mum used to keep in the fridge? used most famously in the chocolate crackle i guess.
haha yer after i posted it kinda hit me that it would be odd to need a special chord. Just threw me off seeing extension leads on hydro sites certified for Ballast. Atm the whole lot will be going into a circuit with something like 20x54watt fluros (in a shed) so that plus a little pedastol fan + 400watt ballast + ~600watt heater.no you dont need a special lead from the ballast to the wall...this would mean you'd need a special wall socket too...only the light fixture has a different fitting, mostly to stop people plugging other devices into the ballast and burning the house down. i personally would keep all my electrics external. for safety and heat reasons. most circuits in houses have a 10 amp fuse. amps is a measure of current flow. wattage is a measure of power. power= voltage x amps. the power will be the maximum demand for your system. for example you have lamp (600w) + fans (say 100w max) + aircon (1000W) = 1700W. current flow (amps) = power/voltage = 1700W/240V = about 7.1 amps. therefore the fuse wont blow. this is my basic understanding of electricity anyway.
im half blind can u say that againyou should go stre bought and some of your soil to try and find your problem
yeah for sure ime also going to put some in a few jiffy pellets , coco and some in rockwool just so i can narrow things down.im more blind
you should get some store bought soil and use some from your back garden (like you were)
put them in different pots and see if some of your problems were with the soil
