    Photo EXIF data stripping

    So I realised a few months back that RIU does not strip your EXIF data from uploaded images. This can be an issue if you upload an image off your phone and accidentally had GPS geotagging enabled. The GPS data can be used to locate your grow which might be an issue if you're not legal or could...

    Fake CFLs?

    Anyone else have experience with fake CFLs? I have two CFLs lamps, firstly a "125w" Pro-Star 6500k lamp which came bundled with some other stuff I bought a couple months back. Eventually I decided to use it for seedlings... I tested it at 85w on a watt meter. Thinking I might have faulty wiring...

    New Loft Grow Room - Input Appreciated

    Hey guys, I've been planning my new loft grow room for about 3 months and been working on it for about 6 weeks. I was aiming to get growing at the start of Feb but am a couple weeks behind as it's been a lot more work than I thought. I'd been thinking of growing for a few years but never had...
