Thanks for the advice, but I am gonna go ahead and spend the jack so I dont have to worry about wires. I am getting a 250 HPS with a Eurotube reflector. I will run semi rigid hose to both ends with a fan pulling the heat out the side. Here it is: http://www.htgsupply.com/viewimage.asp?ID=330
I got a good deal on it from somebody on ebay.
Messing with wiring is just not in my realm of possibilities and won't be considered. If I get caught doing this, the last thing I want to have on me in court is the DA to be able to say something like, In your best ignorant backwoods shitass voice: "Careless and hubrous disregard for safety was exhibited by the defendant. He wantonly exposed his home to danger. Are you sir, an electrician?"
Nah, these backwoods shitass officials in this podunk conservative county don't need me helping them. This grow op has to look like exactly what it is, a guy with medical issues, in need of cannabis, set up a safe little grow op. That way, if I get caught, I can request a jury trial and try to get my "peers" to understand the hypocrisy of keeping alcohol legal (and making money off of it as a government) while continuing to keep cannabis as a schedule 1 narcotic. I swear, I see why people think this country is made up of puritanical hypocrites and idiots.
Sorry, had to rant.
