That whining you hear from the ballast can be exactly for this reason. Please listen, if you do not match the bulb wattage to to the output power that the ballast is ACTUALLY putting out, you ARE risking a bulb explosion or ballast fire. Best case scenario is that the ballast just burns out. Please listen. Exploding HID bulbs and ballast burn outs cause bad electrical fires. Bad. Its stuff like THIS that makes people think all growers are reckless, irresponsible drug dealers that dont care if they hurt anyone or cause property damage. This and uncontrolled humidity are the main reasons nobody wants to rent to growers or have growers living near them. I even knew of some fucktard that would move into a house, cover every floor with soil and do 1 big grow then take the plants and leave the whole mess for the homeowner to clean. I know a landlord that went to jail for 5 years because, unknown to him, the people he rented to blew up the house making oil, the landlord even got badly burned pulling them out of the fire, but he still got 5 fucking years for something he had no part of. Please EVERYONE....IF you are going to grow indoors, BE RESPONSIBLE. If you cannot afford to do it properly then wait until you can or ask for help. We need to work together to get rid of the bad stigmas that good, responsible growers have to face. It sucks being a licensed producer but being unable to find a place to live because nobody wants "a dangerous, reckless grower" living in THEIR house. Fuck off you get your mortgage paid for free every month for doing nothing at all and i have gone through all the legal red tape so fuck yourself. Remember all, if you have an existing lease and there is nothing about cannabis on it, they cant stop you from growing your own medicine as long as its legal and youre not destroying the property. TRY to do things nicely but ultimately NOBODY has the right to tell you that you cant grow your own medicine, but they do have the right to say you cant destroy their house.
