Smoke Detectors at Work

Greetings Dude, Scotty, Guru and all of the DGC. Rocketboy9 here. This isn’t a grow question but I couldn’t find a category for this so here we go. I want to share a story from a recent day at work. As some of you may know I do fire suppression systems for my day job. A couple of weeks ago I got called out to reset a clients fire system. They’re one of these companies that run huge server rooms.

Fire Safety in our Indoor Home Grow Rooms

I hope it helps and let me know if you have any questions or comments. Grow, Learn,...

by Rocketboy9 What’s happening everyone, I hope your gardens are going as planned. Lately when I get on Facebook, I’ve been getting these ads for “Cleanlight Hobby Unit”. The ad claims it’s a good tool to use against powdery mildew. I have to say the ad made me curious enough to go to Amazon and look for some reviews. I was surprised to see that the first review was from someone who not only hated this product but gives advice on how to build a better type of light. It’s an awesome grow hack that I will be...
