I have a buddy who is currently growing in a small tent with a 400w hps. Drain to waste with perlite with a big saucer to catch the overflow. Fed by a pump that they manually control.
He has the ballast for the HPS just sitting on the ground. Like 6 inches away from one of the above saucer.
Despite my desperate attempts to get him to take it seriously, he stubbornly refuses to move it. I have tried warning him so many times that his house is one small accident away from burning down or he will kill himself going into the tent one day cause of some kind of mistake. "It will be fine - I control the water so I am right here" "House is still standing and ive been doing it this way for a while (6 months)". I am starting to think that he now keeping it there cause he knows it makes me so uncomfortable.
"You'll be making me wear a safety harness before I walk in before I know it" etc etc.
Honest opinion - Am I overreacting? Or is this guy doing something REALLY fucking stupid - I'm pretty sure it's the latter but my friend seems to think I am just some kind of Safety Inspector Party Pooper or something. (I already know the answer I just need some more opinions from more "professional" guys to back me up)
