There's a fuse in the plug of the ballast and one in the plug board any good

GFC or GFI. Ground Fault Interrupt. Every outdoor, kitchen or bathroom circuit, anywhere where there is water, needs one per the electrical codes. They are those outlets that have the little button in the middle.

If your ballast is a good quality one it should have a thermal overload cut off built into it. If the temperature of the ballast gets too high it should automatically cut off well before any risk of fire.

Since you're away a good part of the time, you might look into putting one of these in your grow area.
