Hydrofarm was big back then. That ballast, that weighed 50lbs, got hot as shit..
Never have it shipped to your house back then, NEVER.. ..code
Ordered in 1987, which is why I was freaking out over OGM, mounted the heavy ass ballast under the floor, attached to the floor joists, to get the heat and the noise out of the closet.
After reading / hearing about OGM, I was quite concerned, but kept on growing.
Don't know how you got your nym, but I could tell you some old stories about that term.
