Re: My first grow!!!
The big thing is that they do get hot. Make sure that you keep a safe distance between the light and anything else that could be flammable.
Make sure you are venting your space - air flowing in and out. Keep an eye on your temperatures to make sure your space doesn't get too hot. (Temps too high will be hard on your plants).
So just a quick update: Lights will be here Friday - this was quite a bit sooner than expected, but definitely appreciated. Now I just have to hustle to get that space ready. In terms of fire and electrical safety, how to 400w lights rank? These have to be fairly safe, as there are so many people on here using them.
