    LED light intensity

    I'm new to growing with a cob led fixture. I'm a little concerned about some seedlings a friend of mine has in my box. While it seems that they are experiencing a little stress from being transplanted into soil, all 6 of them appear droopy. How intense should the light be? I've got a 200w...

    Carbon filter incense test

    Hi all... I have a carbon filter that's been sitting in a box for 4 or so years unused that I got 2 good grows out of. It's a phresh. My box is finally done and I thought to test the filter I'd throw a stick of incense in there to see if I noticed any smells coming out of the exhaust. I did...

    Scrog frame question

    Hey RIU I'm building a custom mini grow box which I'll be installing a scrog screen. I've not done this before, although I've got several grows under my belt, and I'm wondering if the plants put any upward pressure on the screen itself? I've looked all over the internet and it seems some make...

    Par meter

    I'm finally on the tail end of completing my new grow box and it occurs to me that, with a dimmable Timber LED grow light, I may need a PAR meter to make sure I'm providing the plants with the light they need in both phases of growth but I don't know if I do. Should I spring for a PAR meter?
