I have a grow box with an empty cfl socket.. empty because one more cfl makes it too hot.. the plants are growing and one of the branches nearly touch the socket.. I will probably cover it up tomo.. right now too baked... but was wondering what would happen if the plant poked thru the socket.. will it get electrocuted? has anyone experienced this?

lol that's a potential fire hazard if it shorts the socket.... I actually thought this was going to be a thread about passing electrical current through the plant to stimulate growth, read an article on it once :-P

Not what I was expecting to read. Just move the damn socket. Or atleast remove the power from it. You already said your not going to use it Fo to heat. So why leave it live. And if you cant in do it or move it put a blown bulb in it. Trust me every house has at least 1 blown bulb somewhere.
