Grow cabinet

My advice - save your money and invest in your own self-built grow cabinet. The reason being, that those things are so inflated in price, plus they exaggerate the growing potential of them. I bought the hydro-flora system that Sunlight Sheds sells and its crap. It has something like 14 net pots on it, but realistically your only goin to be growing 4-6 max in it. Plus its a nightmare to change the res. without damaging your roots.

You can find a storage cabinet that will work at Home Depot or Lowe's. The inline fan deal from Sunlight Sheds is actually not that bad of a deal if you want to use the same one they do:

BTW, sunlight sheds carbon filter sucks too - avoid it.

Yea I have to agree with Drizz
I bought a cab from Homegrown and it is a great big POS
The only thing that work right is the CO2 and 150 watt HPS light
I built a rubber made and out grow the bought cab by far
IMO read the DIY pages and do it your self
Happy Growing

I have had alot of trouble with commercial grow cabinet. Last one I bought blew my junction box out of the wall. I built a small cabnet myself and it worked like a dream. Had a problem finding the mylar though.

I think it is better to build your own cabinet, I did. I roughly spent about $1500 total including everything and chemicals. Although I have now upgraded with a water chiller for another $400. I bought a 2' x 3' x 6.5' tall metal cabinet from Staples for $260 delivered and put a 600 w HPS in it with a top of the line canfan air fan and filter and I built a drip system utilizing expanding clay pellets. I used a 1/2 drill that I rented at Home Depot for $22 and a 6" circular drill bit that cost $40 to drill the two 6" holes for the fan and intake air flow. For less money I basically built a better grow cabinet with more space and better internal equipment, plus I have a water chiller which is key to growing healthy plants. The internal temperature of the cabinet runs at 80 degrees with the lights on and 72 degrees with them off.
