Answer
This can shorten the life of the pump.Maintain proper water level. Always keep water above the red line.
The lamps provided with your GrowBox is standard E26 mount OPCOM 18W (L18B) LED Growth Lamp. This is
suitable for most plants’ growth. You may also use OPCOM Professional LED Growth Lamp 50W (L50B) to
accommodate special growth needs.
The climbing tubes is an optional function for your GrowBox, and you will only need to install the climbing kit
when growing tall plants and vining plants like tomatoes. For these plants, the climbing tubes can be used to
support the plants as they grow.
We recommend using the net if the product is in an environment where insects may be present.
