    Default VERY very close call - how stupid? You will be shocked

    Last night I decided to spray my plants with some thrip killer. Waited until lights had just gone off and in my wisdom decided to cover the 600w HPS bulb with a towel to protect it from the spray and yes you've guessed it I forgot to take the towel off. Went in this morning and this is what I found

    I have ruined my Adjusta Wing hood a brand new bulb and probably a full crop of plants 1 week into flower, but do you know I don't give a flying feck as it could have been so much worse. Very, very lucky.

    Looks like that reflector held up like a champ, roof doesn't even look sooty from the photos. Very lucky, makes you feel alive.

    Yes I think the adjusta wing saved the day, luckily the extractor fan was on so not much mess in the room, the plants have a covering of soot. Not sure if the carbon filter will still be any good may be blocked.
