Just wondering if any one has tried any of the many automated grow boxes out their, I just messaged them about the price for the seedo brand models. So if anyone has used them tells us about your experience how effective, efficient and how long has it lasted or did it last?

Yeah I waited a little while to see if anyone would reply. lol

I think the people that would buy those are probably so concerned with security that they don't go to forums like this one. That means they don't know what they don't know.

I just looked it up. That is a crazy little setup. It's kinda cool and reminds me of a Phototron from the old days, but with extras like co2. It's a little pricey at $2400, but I would love to hear the results if someone does have one. It's not for me, but it's interesting. Here's the link I found.

Try flood tables that bottom fill on timers, with plants in coco, its a great way to get automated. You can get good growth and uptake with small pots. I only automate when I have many smaller plants that will drink faster than I can hand feed them. Really enjoy being in the garden every night and hand watering, though some nights I wish I had it all automated. Heading back out there right now, have a good night everyone.

I own a bc northern lights bloombox. I took over a medicinal license and grow for the guy he gave me the box and all chemicals and such. I also have a actual room
Built to. Pros and cons to each. The boxes are super cool as there virtually fully automated. I use it as a cloning and vegging chamber. Then everything moves to the flower room. Any questions ask away. I have everything with smart sensors connected to a SmartThings hub and has temperatures change fans and a/c kick on and off.

I have The Mothership from BC Northern Lights. I'm completely disappointed. I was lied to about the grow box. I asked if the box was temperature controlled, discreet, and would any light come out of the box. Lie number 1: I was told it was temperature controlled. The box only comes with 3 small fans. I have to run a separate heater and air conditioner. Lie number 2: I was told that no light comes out. Lots of light comes out. Lie number 3: I was told it was discreet. Between the light coming out, the buttons on the front and the filter that sticks out on the back it isn't discreet. Also, I put a small space heater inside which takes up a lot of space. A tent works better.

The boxes are nice but only as temperature controlled as the room they are put in. There is no heat or AC. Just fans. They are solid but small. Not discrete but cool looking. I have a super closet type cabinet I built when I started growing a long time ago. I had to modify it a lot to get it to work properly. Added vents, to help cool it. A chiller to cool the res. A blurple led when those came out (lol long time ago). Finally got it to work and I learned a ton by doing so. It wasnt any of the things I hoped it would be but I got it to work and I was growing my own bud! Now I use it for seedlings and veg. I grow organic so no hydro. I also dry my bud in it. Tents are much much better but at the time I was aiming v to be secretive and I thought a cabinet would blend into my garage better than a grow tent. legal now so I'm not really hiding anymore. I built a dedicated room.

I just need some help with wiring the grosmart timer. I took it apart but i don't think I put it back together the right way. Does anyone have a diagram or like some pictures of it wired up ? I only took the wires on the top out . Maybe i have one or two of them in the wrong spot .
