Well long story short my ballast cord wasn’t connected properly must have bumped it or something well i walks out to the shed smells a horrible burnt wire smell thought the joint was on fire started checking all my cords and the cord was that hot I had to put it straight down well my ballast wasn’t plugged in properly causing arcing I suppose Fkn lucky a real eye opener for me that’s for sure my grow style has become a tad lazy over the last couple of yrs and this was the close call I needed to get my shit together😂 hard to c but the inside of the ballast actually smouldered was black around the outside indicating smoke I put this on here to remind others to check your connections regularly like I will be doin in the future electricity is no joke👍

Guess it's time to check the smoke alarms.
It’s in the Shed Ponky so no smoke alarms out there mate prob should put 1 in 😂 and it’s on a different circuit breaker to my house so didn’t trip the house power only the garage just didn’t trip fast enough must of happened right before I walked in as everything was hot and there was no condensation in my tent as fans n lights dehuy stopped working obviously spun me out though had a lot of shit happen in grows never close to a fire gunna be all over it from now on that’s for sure👍

Well the fates smiled on you. Hard to explain the burning shed. And yeah. We all need to up out fire safety game. And clean our lint traps. Get fire extinguishers. And while we are at it change the wax seals on the toilets. They're due once every 8 years.
