Hey i need a lil' advice and emotional support here plz.I know we are all on the same boat and i need some reassurance.
I'm doing a closet grow of 2 plants in soil.This is actually my second grow i already done one and didn't feel like this before for some reason.
I am really worried about the safety of it all..I feel guilty for possibly putting my families safety at risk an di need to know if i need to worry so much.
My light is a 250 watt HPS with digital ballast.As far as i am aware these digi ballasts are quite alot safer than the regular,but how likely is it that one day the bulb will break ? If it breaks will the shards of hot glass start a fire ? I am paying for my electricity and have no dodgy wiring , the bulb is less than a year old and has only been used for 1 prior grow.i take my plants and water them in the bath tub when they are getting watered. Is it only just large grow ups with stoeln electricity and bad safety practices that go up in smoke or have people burnt they're house down just because an hps bulb gave up in they're closet?
THe thing doesn't get that hot,i have a fan coming on and off every half hour cools it down ,you can touch the reflector and not get burnt...
