When I leave my house there are thousands of watts of power rolling non stop all day
And night until I return. I have to pray a myriad of different problems does not occur. One of the most difficult parts of this sport. Living on the edge, why do I enjoy this so much…crazy man.

Having a smoke alarm and fire extinguisher in the grow room should be mandatory. I try to use decent equipment and not get sloppy with the power cords but I still get butterflies in my stomach if I’m gone too long. The longer I’ve been growing the more I trust my equipment. I used to check connections daily but after a few years it’s more like weekly.

You can always ask an electrician if it’s safe😎

As long as you are within tolerance of your circuit I wouldn’t even worry about it.
I changed all the regular bulbs in my house to LEDs and that makes a huge difference. If you’re just talking about your grow lights that’s a different story 
Note: I don’t listen to my mom either.

I use a temp gun similar to this one. Check plugs and electrical connections around your grow area for hot spots. It gives me some peace of mind.
Also can be used for leaf surface temp. (VPD).

The first hot spot I found with the temp gun was one of those analog timers, the ones with the pins. They get hot.
I switched to digital timers.

Excellent advice. Also one of the best tools that lots of people don’t own.
