Great post ! Although I have never been lead down the wrong path on RIU ...I do see some crazy ass posts .but for the people who do share the true knowledge and exp thanks a bunch .
Been growing for almost 2 years with just over 2llb harvested and I love browsing this site for info and tips and tricks .
I have also seen some really far out there electrical advice posted on here and those people should be shot in the foot seriously I have been a contractor for 16 years (general contracting) and have a very very good understanding of electrical 120v/240v/3 phase ....do all my own work and customers but I would never ever sujjest anything but safety precautions .
Little off topic but the absolute best tool/device I have found for growing and grow rooms is an automated smoke detector with built in fire extinguisher these can be fitted into a 4 inch pot light hole everything is concealed in the ceiling these units cost around $140 canadian and they work great and will save your home and possibly people's lives .
Not affiliated with this company but they ship worldwide a few firemen started this company and it's just thriving posted the site just so people can see what exactly I am talking about .
The Haven Fire Suppression Safety Device is an automatic fire extinguisher installed in the ceiling cavity between floor joists to provide 5-year residential & business fire protection. The cost savings of this new device are astronomical over water suppression.
