I woke up to a little flood in the grow room this morning. Thank God I grow in a tent now because not a drop of water made it outside the tent, I don't have a shop vac but it's on my list of things to buy now. 15 gallons soaked up with many towels and some sucked up with my carpet cleaner. Ugh, what a day. The funny part was my alarm went off reminding me to change the reservoir water as I was cleaning wtf lol. That's not how I was planning my reservoir change! I got a chance to put all the plants in the ebb system though, except the tangilope, so things will be a lot easier to manage now. Oh, how it flooded.... The socket in the power strip the control bucket was plugged in to went bad. So no power to drain the system and I'm guessing a siphon effect took place. So I plugged it directly into the wall outlet. Fingers crossed no more spills!!! :wall::finger:

Hey real quick I just grabbed my 600w hps, my ballast has an input for 120v and for 240v, which one should I use? Also, theres a little metal plate covering up the 120v socket, the plate looks like its removable or moveable, i'm thinking i'm supposed to take it off but i'm not sure. Any input on that? If what I said makes any sense that is lol

if you have a 240v hookup use it. 240 uses less amps and would save you money, allot of money over time.

What power cord do you have? the 120 has a standard 3 prong plug.
