DISASTER HAS STRUCK
View attachment 218788
a link of one of the chains holding my light unit up, it appears to have melted so I must have had it close to a heat source I was not aware of (yes I went plastic over metal, not due to being cheap but was more based on weight)
the front chain was fine but the back chain I couldn't really see all of it so didn't see it coming
because the front chain held only half the lighting unit fell and the power boards and lights on top came down, unfortunately the bubblelicious's stem bot broken close to the base, it was about 2.5 weeks away from intended harvest time but had to harvest early, as you can maybe see it hadn't quite filled out all the way especially the lower half

the Pakistan ryder copped a good hit to and was bent, but I bent it back into shape and then it seemed fine, lets see how she goes over the next few days

could have been much worse, all my newer ones im getting great size out of and the cheese all unharmed, any of those would have been a real tragedy and I heard the unit come down so I was onto it pretty quick, didn't get a pic of that because getting everything off the plants and them into safety was the number one priority and they were moved into the sunlight on my balcony so didn't miss out on to much light
one of my 50w light bulbs also broke, went down to bunnings and got more support(this time elastic straps and now strapped on diagonaly(so if one should fail it shouldn't topple and fall) also put the good chain on diagonally for extra support/back up
the lights are slightly higher now and I put the outer ones a little further towards the edgo of the unit to maximise the full floor space of my tent
all in all from the moment it collapsed until the plants went back into a fully lit tent only took 2 hours
your wee sprouts are takin off too,NICE!!
For progression!
2.5weeks could of done a bit but it is what it is and looks like a nice peice of smoke not matter the size. Tis very good news the seedlings all remained safe
