The plastic ballasts are fine, just don't set them on something that'll go on fire. Keep a fan on them if possible to that'll help

cut a water bottle in half, put your cube iwth cutting in the botom half gently padded with cotton wool, but make sure cube is moist,
then pad the top inside of the bottle, tape the bottle half bak togther so u got a full bottle agin, put in a box and post or just put the bottles in a big bubble envelope and post, pay the 6 qwid for special delivery b4 1pm post but send last thing in afternoon then its in post less than 12 hrs

i dont have yoyo pullies yet ive just got my light attached to the wardrobe rail with metal wire so its easier to use boxes under the plant than trying to mess about resizing the wire everytime i need to move the light

use string or rope or wire for the light, them refelctors are real light so no weight at all
