Yes, I have shorted out by splashing nutrient solution (high ionic strength= VERY conductive) on a plug in an extension cord...
Power strips are a GREAT thing to have!! Most regular GFI's in the house are rated at 6 amps though. Your regular household circuit is probably at 15 amp so you'd be cutting down on what your system could handle. Go with the power strip.:thumbsup:

Have a good grow!:jointsmile:
