I concur, getting zapped from something 240v electrical is not high up on my to do list anytime soon. Earth problem? Not a sparky but I'd be reticent to go near the thing turned on or plugged in. Call me old fashioned lol.
Make a complaint to them bursto and get them to give you another one. They may even love you enough to let you keep that one to hang around for spare parts.

I've got the stainless d shackles which connects to rope pulley thingamebob. Very technical engineering rocket science talk there haha

 

[bursto]

so its like the thick skin on your hand you wont feel much current but the thin skin near me wrist touched the hanging wire a few times and i was wearing thongs and had walked in the rain so my feet were wet, no boots

and i got enough volts to piss me off a bit

 

[DustyDuke]

not to happy with the metal hanging straps, on that light, stainless wire shit flipping gave me a bit of a shock,

the other lights had a black plastic coating on the wire straps , much safer

i'll had to to pinch some off another light, got zapped about 6 times before i figured it out

Let the cunts know

 

[bursto]

what did that sting you bursto?
i ordered a 480w qb (spiderfarmer type) samsung 301b 660nm osram red meanwell driver. landed last week while i was in melb. $421 aussie door to door. very happy with it

you got a link for that?

the spiderfarmer type lights listings i look up are all over 600 bucks for that light

Its not 240v. He'd seriously know about it if it was.

so i kinda took out a plug board i d been using in the storm, with the voltage protection shit on it, and then fiddled with a little plug that was under the balast, and now

no buzz felt on the strap hangers, relax people

“the poor man pays twice”

with leds this is exceptionally true. Buy quality the first time or you’ll probably end up buying again. If you want cheap go down the diy route with either some Samsung or bridgelux strips and a driver from arrow or digikey.

if you want easier/less work you can go boards from someone like hlg or grow lights Australia. Gla is based in Perth if supporting locals is your thing and make a pretty decent board(I’ve got a few). They do diy kits and plug and play models

cutter electronics is another good site to go to for all your lighting needs.

So who's locked up

to dutchy up in the grow room, or not to dutchy, that is the question

if you blaze up a few times each day in your grow room, would the smoke be beneficial to the plants?

been wondering, if they could get a little xtra co2 that way, or am i just, justifying blazing up more weed

Thoughts on the Vivosun vs1000w for $150 (only pulls about 100w's from the wall apparently)?
In comparison to the cheap bridgelux my "mate" tried selling me for $300 im highly considering it
https://www.cutter.com.au/product-category/led-emitter/bridgelux-leds/eb-series/ .. $10 LED strip for $300 lol @Nugachino

Dude, I'll save you some time. Those pre-built, brand name fixtures are overpriced trash. What size, in sq. feet are you growing?

4x4 my dude.. openly browsing at the moment but it'd be madly appreciated. Kinda just want to get something so i can throw overpriced one in my "mates" face. It's literally a hazard more than it is a product hahaha

Anyone got any experience with herms?
Have all fems yet one of the fems has produced a couple of weird seeds within only a couple of the lower flowers... Did it start to herm then go "wait oh god no i dont want to go out like caitlyn jenner", and revert back to a fem...? No other fems are affected and there's like 10 total in there so im kinda shitting it but also kinda blessed i think considering it's start of 8 weeks with no spread?
