Hey Tahoe,
I work for BCNL and I have been using a bloombox myself for over a yr now. They do work really well and are super easy to use too. I also talk to our customers a lot because we provide unlimited tech support with our cabinets and pretty much everybody loves them. I realize that my opinion is a little biased because I work for the company so it would be awesome if anyone else out there who's used one would pipe up but then again a big part of "stealth growing" is not drawing attention to yourself
which is why people buy our boxes in the first place. Let me know if you have any questions or anything & my email is [email protected] if you want to contact me directly. Thanks & happy gardening!

hey man.....good to hear from you...i actually have one now! hahahaha....and its amazing is so many ways!.....though I do continue to chew through co2 at an alarming rate....like my fifth (5th) bottle in 7 weeks. I have checked connections, adjusted the top release valve and a bottle is about ever 10 days? Ogh well, as much as I would like to work that out.....I have little else to dislike.....the box works exactly like it is designed to....cheers man!!
Good day!
I just picked up a BC bloombox and will be posting a journal within the next few days. I will try to be as descriptive as possible and jake if you wouldn't mind I could use your help if you have the chance once I start the grow.My main concern, well after knocking down a wall in my house to get the big girl in there (due to its solid well built frame but man it does not like to turn corners down stairs lol), is that the room that it is currently in has a constant temp of 57 degrees. I understand that the box runs a few degrees warmer and that the temp would be in the 60s but I'm not sure how much this will affect growth. We will see, look for my post within the next few days and feel free to chime in!
Cheers

hey V.....I had a similar problemm.....actually mine was dropping to like 52-55.....I ended up putting a oil-filled radiator in behind to provide some heat to the intake and I have been able to maintain 65-78F ..... the plants will still grow with the lower temps (or at lest mine did) but just slower.....and maybe not to the same potential.
Bought Bloom Box last may. Grew weed outside for ten seasons. Inside grow seems much harder but i finally think i have it down. Really like the BCBB. Was having same problem with CO2 being used to fast Called Jake and he got me straight now only using 1 20lb per grow. One thing i will recomend GET FOX FARM OCEAN FOREST soil made a huge difference on my current grow.

That's awesome! I think I can help with the Co2 problem but it'll be way easier on the phone or on the livechat on our website. so if you can hit me up I'm on LC every morning from around 7 am until noon or so or my number is 1-866-352-7215 that's my personal toll free. Good to hear you like your BB

Hey Valias,
Yeah sure you can hit me up whenever you need to, that's a bummer you had to knock down a wall in your place. I had some similar issues when moving mine but it is also possible to completely take the box apart I've had several customers do that in order to get them into attics and other places. We even once did a house call for a local customer and dismantled a Producer in order to fit it into a small storage room. 57 is a little cool for your room temp there's a few things you can do ...
1. get a min max thermometer if 57 is your night time temp you can run the box through the night so that the lights are on when it's cooler in the room.
2. You can get a room/space heater and set it at about 65 or so & try to keep your room above 63 at all times
or you can also try just heating up the box which is maybe easier and cheaper by just placing a heater just at the back of the box aimed at the intake fan. Monitor the temp inside the box for a few days and adjust the settings on the heater until you get it to stay above 65 inside. I think a small one with a fan and a digital temp control would work well.
Can't wait to see your post

Hey Highclass,
from the feedback I get I would say average yield from a Bloombox with Co2 and good nutrients is about 1 lb per cycle. Let me know if you have any other questions at all & have a great day!

I looked into getting the bllombox but after 9 different retailer all seemed to have the same opinion of how they usually have customer complaints and from thier trials the boxes dont produce anywhere close to company claims they advised against it. I like the hydrohuts and they all seemed to reccomend that route too without me even saying i used them.I knew 2 people who used then and both sold thiers after just a couple grows as the cost and frieght for what the box was capable of putting out wasnt a good ration.What most i was seeing and hearing is the amount of sites the box like the producer has setup is way to many to actually grow bud in. You had to use less then half the sites to get a decent yield from them.Thats the reason I decided not to buy one and if you see one they are very simple to replicate for a 1/3 the cost if you are semi handi..Thats alot of co2 for this little thing for sure.I use 1 20lb co2 tank a month in and 8x8x10 foot room keeping ppm between 1300-1500...They do look cool but i have yet to see one do as claimed sorry
Hey FF
Don't forget to talk about the stealth of the BCBB i've had people both smokers and non-smpkers enter the space where BB is and the ones i showed were amazed when i opened the doors they had no idea thats a big plus at least for me. Not sure you can claim that with a hydrohut. Who is the ladie in your avatar always enjoy your posts consider you one of the guru's

Hey FF
My previous setup was a Hydrohut. I loved it, and it worked great for both soil and hydro. I only did soil in the hut but had great results. I have moved on now to the bloombox and have posted a log in this section so we will see how it turns out. I believe that both of these products are excellent and you can not go wrong with either product.

This is odd. Odd from the perspective that nobody goes to nine different retailers to make a purchase and odd from the perspective that BCNL has never had 9 different retailers for you to visit.
Non-existant retailers doing non-existent trials?
Used, perhaps 'sell' and 'currently work for. . .'
If your imaginary friends are having trouble with yields, they can call our grow support line for help. We're available 16 hours per day, 7 days per week to troubleshoot any technical or growing problems for our customers.
There are optimal stages at which to veg and flower and optimal nutrients for different plants at different stages. If you buy a car and crash it into a wall, do you blame Generals Motors?
First of all, there is no serious comparison between a tent and a purpose-built, medical grade indoor garden.
On building one's own, people can certainly build something to grow in for less, but it sure as sh!t won't be comparable to a medical grade indoor garden that is engineered to international safety standards, machined on a quarter million dollar turret press and backed by 16 hour a day toll-free support and training.
Nor would it be delivered to your door in one easy package.
Rock on,

lol yeah the post asked for opinions on these and I told what I have expirenced and he got his panties in a wad quick didnt he.Well I assume you dont work for that company as there are more then a dozen retailers who will order these for you direct so you do not have to have the large truck come to your house drawing attention like it does when ordering direct. I have 4 friends who own hydro shops all have these as a display and order from maker direct.The 4x8 tents out perform a tiny producer box any day of the week.I have never worked for hydro hut or have any want to.A $1000 hydro hut 4x8 setup will produce more then 5 lbs per yield of high quality sensimillia any strain you desire.With these you can take down and hide in under 15 minutes in a small closet where do you hide that big metal box that weighs a ton in a pinch??Thats right you cant. A hydro hut can be passed as a clothes closet or storage container.The big steel box sitting in the corner isnt really stealth by any means lol Now I can build almost an identical model at home that will be damn near the same quality as I am a trained welder and have access to a jorney man electrician if by some chance I would need one. I have built aero and hydro setups for years so the grow setup is fine.I am quite familar with electronic controlled climates and injections .Guess if he really did work for the company he must have been the designer as he really got his feeling hurt lol..There are dozens of shops who offer to order these in the States and If you were an employee you would know that lolAnyways if someone wants to buy one go right ahead but I personally wouldnt and I stated why I personally wouldnt.
Well I think our friend Tahoe is showing us what your boxes can do!I'm not in the market for one, but I think they look sweeeet!
So grateful for that. I wish more of our customers would log their experiences and I'm working very hard to put some programs in place for this.
more soon!
You don't have to have a truck coming to your house if you don't want to. All delivery options are discussed with our customers. If your friends were authorized resellers they would know this.
So if people want an 8 foot wide tent that is 7 feet tall and filled with soil pots, go for it! You act like having something "small" is a bad thing.
One customer rolled 5 machines (they're on casters!) out the door and into a cube van with a generator in it, then wheeled them back home when shit settled down.
I keep mine beside my fridge. People think it's a deep freeze because it looks like a professionally manufactured household appliance and has a commercial lock. It's not a velcro tent.
See how easy it is? I'm sure lots of first-timers share your skill set.

I m not sure where you get freezer but a deep freezer looks nothin like the bllombox which has a front door and not a lift top.I dont grow soil I use 4x8 tables in those tents .So you need a van to hide this thing and not a hall closet as it cant be taken apart and its on casters cuz it weighs a ton.And yes they give you options.There were several people on this site who ordered directly and they all said a uhaul sized delivery truck came one guy bought 4 units at one time. Each different option adds even more to the shipping costs.The bc cabinets you almost cant even just stop in any place and pick one up so you have to pay out the ass for shipping and frieght and then customs fees can be applied.Hell the hydro hut can be shipped for under $100 anywhere in the stated and arrives by regular ups truck nice and discrete.Dont have to go to a depot to pick it up or anything. For me they just dont have enough plus or output to justify the enitial upfront cost when you can do much better with less money.I do have to end this though as I do not want to get in trouble for arguing.I dont make the opinions or reccomendation that these shop owners have they base them on the units they sold and have setup themselves.I based my opinion on seeing a few in action and those of the retailers.
