is there a grounding procedure after use?

I have never used one. The static charge developed during operation does not require a discharge procedure because its an AC voltage...no build up as with DC and capacitors and such. Basically light it up, have some fun, and put it down.

A grounded outlet is recommended, not necessarily a deicated oultet. I could not use this machine as it did not have 230v

Will work as long as proper ground. Instructions state the item will not function if not properly grounded.

You could try running a wire from the seeds to a kitchen pipe in order to ground the seeds. Alternatively you can also order ground chia seeds, which I assume means they come pre-grounded.

I put one in the garage for the outside lights and did not ground it. I just screwed it to the box. It worked just fine.

The fuse block does not get grounded. The items like lights, radios, fans or anything hooked to each fuse will be grounded after the voltage has passed through it. Hope this helps.

It's not a problem if the gadget you've plugged in is working correctly. The grounding pin comes into play when a machine develops an internal defect and the hot side of the power becomes connected to the chassis. An electric drill with a metal case, for example, connects that case to ground so that (most of) that leakage current won't transfer into your hand. Nowadays most appliances use plastic cases so it's not as much of an issue, but I wouldn't use one of these adapters on a long-term basis without connecting the ground.

I'm not an electrician, but I would think it would need to be grounded... otherwise where would the surge go? I happened to have an electrician in my house for other things when this arrived, so I asked him how I should ground this. He just took it and hooked it up to the neutral/grounding wire in a nearby unused outlet and said it is now grounded with the rest of the house. I can still use that outlet too.

I called tech support when I first got it and it can be done but there would be a grounding issue. It's designed as portable.

Yes you can. Think of it as a conductive sheet. So taping wire to it anywhere will alow you to ground it.

You don't ground this. Your accessory items, you will have to ground separately.

You can ground it if you want but its not necessary. Mine works great ungrounded.

I haven't purchased this yet, but if there is no ground wire connection on the unit, then you just connect the ground wires from the incoming cable and outgoing cable together in a plastic box. If you do use a metal box, then you should run a pigtail ground wire to a grounding screw in the box to ground the box, but it would be easier to just stick with a plastic box so you don't have to worry about grounding the box.

You don't need to ground it if you are planning on using it indoors. However, it should be grounded if used outside.

The outlet checker that came with the kit will ensure that the outlet was properly grounded. The plug on the cord can only go into the ground connection. I also used a voltmeter, which I purchased separately, to show that my body voltage went to zero when my orange band was correctly plugged into the wall socket. So if you use the outlet checker and plug the cord into the bottom large hole in the wall outlet, there should be no concern.

No grounding required. These things work with transformers, which is how they accomplish the isolation. I doubt it matters which end of the run you put it on, so I'd put it wherever it's most convenient. You do realize this thing has an 1/8" stereo jack, though, not RCA jacks, right? That might mean you have to put it at the computer end. Or, use a "Boss" brand one with RCA jacks at the stereo end. They're cheaper, too. :)

You would still need to ground it separately. Usually you can find a suitable ground very close to the fuse box.
