Hey you guys. I was talking to another grower and told him the story about why I stopped growing last time and suggested that I share it with the forum.
I had water in my grow room. It was a cheap hose tied to the plumbing in the house. I was in my office for around 2 hours after watering. I heard this horrible noise that had something to do with water I was sure, but had never heard it before. I thought it must be outside but it was so loud. I ran downstairs to check it out and then I saw that my kitchen and two other rooms were flooded. The water was coming through the light fixture in the ceiling. I ran upstairs to the grow room. There was 6 inches of water! I ran in to turn off the water without thinking about the ballasts and surge protectors that were on the floor. I got a pretty big shock. There were 2 1000W ballasts on the floor and other assorted electrical gadgets. I was so scared that the floor was going to cave in, that I would lose my plants, and someone would see me cleaning up that I didn't think about getting hurt. It took me 3 hours of working like a mad woman before I sat down to think. I called a friend and just started crying. I decided that the plants were done enough and that I couldn't deal with it plus I had so much adrenaline in me, I whacked them all down, trimmed them up and hung them up to dry along with the rest of the room. DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING ELECTRICAL ON THE FLOOR!
