Is it okay to put your ballast on the floor? I have a small grow box, and the only place that I can put the ballast is on the floor next to the grow bags. But I've heard that you shouldn't put it on the floor, so now I'm wondering, is this safe?

Can't you at least put it on top of a milk crate so if you have any water issues the ballast will not get wet. That could get really ugly..

Can't you put it ouside the room? They do make extension cables that run from the hood to the ballast

i would at least set it on a book aor a milk crate like just mentioned. and unless you have low temp issues i would keep it out of the room, it will get hot.

I may have to put it outside of the cab. It came with a really long cord. I just wanted everything to be self-contained, nothing external. I'll try the book idea as well. It's my first time growing with this box, so I'm not sure how it'll handle the heat from it.
