If you have bought and used a new pre-made Hydroponic System of any kind other than DIY Home-Made, please respond to this thread with what you thought about it, AFTER you used it and the results.
I've been asked to help submit REVIEWS of STORE BOUGHT OR INTERNET BOUGHT Pre-made Systems, so we can compare and post comparisons in the GROWFAQ.
After you post an opinion, you might be asked to write a simple REVIEW and Description of how good or poorly it worked. This is to help Newbies and prevent peole from making costly mistakes!
Peace!

I would be glad to give you a review of my supercloset. I have left my opinion on various threads, but here it is all in one.

The most important part, the price. My basic setup would have costed $2195 before shipping with the 400hps. I upgraded to 600hps and payed $2350 before shipping, and $2700 after. The prices for all the cabs have gone up $200 each, so if you dont have the money stop reading now.

When I bought the cab, it was the only stealthy one I could find at the time. This was my main focus on getting a system. It has turned out to be less stealthy than I thought. All of the controls are on the back, which is not advertised on the site(pics of the back in my journal) and there are much parts to consider.

If you plan on closing the doors with the hps light on, dont upgrade to 600. I have found it impossible to close the doors during the photoperiod reaching temps over 90F. This could be expected in any system. The doors can be shut while using only the bottom veg. chamber though. The last factor is the exhaust fan. Its noticably loud, but not to bad.

Other than that, it came with everything I needed. The bottom veg. chamber is flawless with the dual flueros and the auroponic type setup.
The ebb n flow upstairs is solid. Im sure I have left much out but this should do for now.

This is a great Idea for a thread as I am considering purchasing options for such a system, I hear the Bloombox is the king of them all.

A question for JonnyBlunt if I may.....

What kind of yields do you get with that box of yours, if you don't mind me asking how many plants will it hold and what is the yield average per plant and in what time frame.

I think yours is beautiful and looks like it may pay for itself in one harvest, I've heard the bloombox cost about 3300 but pays for itself in one harvest.

BC Northern Lights

I have not yeilded yet, my last grow turned out pretty bad. I figured it out though, so Ill let you know when my girls are done. Did the bloombox go up, that sounds steap.

wow John over 2 grand for that thing what a rip off lol its like thos egrow tents for a grand.You can do better yourself for under a third that price hell a BC bloom box is same price and better

Bloom box is too obvious, read my journal. Youll see why I bought it.

I bought the Economy Grow Box from Homegrown-Hydroponics, they have specials about every other month. I got my on sale for about $795, after getting the batwing reflector and shipping and tax the total price was about $1100. I can honestly say the cab will pay for itself in one harvest. This is what it came with:
400 watt hps in a 35.8hx30wx19.30d,9 plant dwc system, mini activated carbon scrubber,120cfm ball bearing exhaust fan,125cfm duct fan,dual air pump, two 10inch air stones, net baskets+hydroton rocks, 2 timers,GH nutes, and hydro grow guide.

For the price you cant beat it, now for the good and bad.

GOOD: Ease, this is my easiest grow ever, hands down. System has a great intake and exhaust fan, i dont have to freeze the house to keep the temps in the cab respectable, lights off 70-73F & on 82-84F. With the 125cfm fan so much CO2 is brought in the plants thrive. 400 watt hps makes such a huge difference in such a small space(check dimensions above). The reflector makes a huge difference, its a must if u decide to get the system.

BAD: Light leaks, i keep a black bed sheet over the system during night hours, i cut holes for the exhaust and intake fans. Also the system is made of white firm plastic, so it is bright as hell, no big problem if it is not in your room. The intake fan is somewhat loud but really is silent in comparison to my former set up. Also the carbon filter is not strong enough, i'm at 5 weeks in flower and already had to make adjustments, nothing to major though.

Final Verdict: So far i'm in love with this system, this is my first grow so i will let you all know how it goes. I didnt even use the hydro set up, i'm a soilless grower at heart, so this is what i did to start things off. I grow 12/12 straight from seed to harvest, i have 8 females plants in 1 gallon grow bags. I topped them to keep the height down because im only working with about 25 inches considering im using a 400 watt hps, i also LST. I'm at week 5 from sow. Sorry i dont have any pics to share but the results are ridiculous, i anticipate about 18-25 grams per plant, which is excellent since i have 8 plants inside. Four weeks before harvest i sow more seeds(10-12) in 16oz cups, within 3 weeks i will know which plants are male or female. The males get tossed and the females are transplanted to 1 gal. grow bags around the same time the eight mature plants are harvested, doing it like this i have an endless supply of bud. This whole process takes 2.5 months with indica and indica/sativa type plants. Seeds are not a problem since i have F2s and crosses of past seeds i have crossed by letting males pollinate females in earlier grows. Sensi StarXAfgani(AfganiStar) and MasterKushXHashberry(KushBerry) happen to be my 2 special creations. Both strains grow great in such a small area because both are squat plants that can be huddled together. I plan on topping and supercropping sativas like Jack Herer and Super Silver Haze.

If you can do it yourself go ahead but if you want the ease of just plugging in a system here u go you cant fail with this cab, the price really didnt hurt like it could have$1100 is made up with one harvest...EASY.

i am a first time grower and have been thrust into the world of aeroponics with the aerogarden! other than additions, and other nutrients, for what i want it for the aerogarden is awesome!!! salad greens setting for 24/7 water and a figure 8 connector for the lights for 12/12 timing, an airstone, pump, 3 100watt eq cfls and one 40 watt red spectrum floro. DIY co2 and i have some great looking plants. currently there are nine two pods have 2 plants, i will take it down to 3 as per everyone elses experience. i just need 3 strong def females.

i don't want to grow a million pounds of weed just enough to smoke
for the money i have put into it i would be happy with anything i get. so far i figure i have spent a total of $275 including the garden itself.

it seems to be a great small personal grow platform with good lights that you can just make better with more lights!!!

I use the SH Bubbleponics and I will be using a Hydroflora 14 site drip unit. I will give you my review of the bubbleponics so, I'm not that far into my grow.

The SH unit seems to be doing a pretty good job so far, all seeds germinated and vegging nicely at moment. The airflow and wter flow can be a little trouble some but most hydro units are like that. What I really like about the SH unit is they have premeasured all of your nutes for you. Being new to hydro that was a definite plus. The unit is nicely built and easy to move around. The documentation that comes with it is also very good and walks you through set up, fedding, etc. I'm happy that I bought the unit. This is a good unit for new hydro guys/gals. If you already have lights great but if not they sell this unit with lighting packages. I already had lights but I bought some of their lights anyway...you can never have too many lights..lol.

The Hydroflora I bought can be found here
HydroFlora Systems for Indoor Closet Hydroponic Grow Boxes / Chambers
and here
Sunlight Sheds Hydroponics Systems
I just recieved this unit and have not starting using it yet. Anybody who has bought a cabinet from these guys would have some info on this. All I can say is that it came with everything it said it did including this cool little fogger for getting food and o2 to the roots. I will give a review on this unit once I start using it.

I give the SH unit a 4 out of 5 and would reccommend it to new hydro growers and personal growers it's a really nice little package for the money.
