Root & Photon is being set up as an evidence-first indoor growing publication. This policy page is a pre-launch editorial scaffold and will be finalized before public launch.
Editorial standard
Pages should separate verified evidence from assumptions, product claims, affiliate incentives, and unresolved research questions. Claims about prices, availability, compatibility, safety, yield, or hands-on testing require current evidence before publication.
What we will not claim
- No fake hands-on tests or grow results.
- No invented author credentials, reviewer credentials, or public identity details.
- No unverified product pricing, market availability, or affiliate-program participation.
- No universal safety or outcome guarantees.
Pre-launch status
Public author identity, market/locale, analytics, and affiliate programs are not finalized yet. Article publication and indexing remain blocked until the launch gates are approved.
