scary....i'm sure it's fine....i saw a grow room with some old ass ballasts there was brown goo leaking out of one of them into the 10'x10' bin of soil. i told the guy that the ballasts contained p.c.b's ...poly chlorinated byfeanils.... and the p.c.b's were getting in the soil and ending up in his smoke. the guy kinda shrugged and said he would get some new ballasts after the grow was over...now that is real scary......
