I am in an official STATE OF EMERGENCY!! I think I fried my ballast yesterday. I gave my girls a nice flush, but, because of the SCROG, it got a little awkward. I spilled some water on it, immediately wiped it off. The light stayed on the rest of the day with no issues. This morning, the lights weren't on, so I investigated. The timer was good, the CFL light was on, but the HPS was not. When I checked thee ballast, water started to drip out! OMG!! I held it vertically and...drip...drip! Just what I need 4 days from harvest! And because I missed a week of work with the medical issues, I don't have the money for a new one! Are my girls gonna suffer without the light for the last 4 days? I do have the 100w CFL on toP of them now (still on the 12/12), but I'm really nervous! I would hate for all of this hard work to be for nothing! Should I just put another CFL or two in there? CALLING ALL CARS!!!!!

what kind of ballast do you use?

Well the day has come! Tomorrow is officially 8 weeks of flowering and here is a final shot of the ladies. I plan to chop chop tomorrow. I'm curious as to what you guys think, being that I ran into my lighting blunder 4 days ago. I don't have a mag glass to see the trichs, but you can see that a lot of the hairs have turned brown or red and they are rather frosty. I didn't see any real complications using the 100W CFL for 4 days, so should I chop or wait another week...thoughts?
