New V3: Economy Grow Box - Beginner Cultivation Growing Chamber w/ 400w HPS w/ Reflector, & 3-9 Plant DWC Hydroponic System

Is this a good set-up? How many plants could i fit in there since i'm not sure 9 will not fit. What all else would i have to get than whats in the pic? What kind of maintenance will i have to do with it? How much money would this use on a power bill by an estimate? Would that carbon filter really keep the smell down to someone outside the closet couldnt smell it?...Sorry for all the guestions just new to all of this, and it looks pretty badass.

You could spend a quarter of the price and make it yourself! Does the same thing, and you have some extra cash =D

this is the first thing i've ever ventured into and wanted to spend the money on a prebuilt system...car audio or anything else that people payer higher prices at the store i do for myself but i want a professional system thats ready to go and the price will be cut in half since me and another guy are doing it so it won't be too bad. What's some good sites to buy seeds from and how discreet is it since i don't want to get caught with seeds in the mail before i even get to grow them. Also, how much do you guess i could yield in that and off using how many plants since like i said i dont think 9 will fit...or will they? I'm open to all opinions, but i think i'm gonna go with the marketing hype this time unlike usual just because i'm so new to all of this, the price will be lower since its 2 people, and don't have to spend the time doing it since i live with 3 roomates and i'm going to keep it a secret from them. What kind of bud would you say to grow in there...i'm trying to grow the very best of the best i can such as g-13 or white widow. Any help will be appreciated guys.

Cannabis cup winners cannabis and marijuana seeds cup winning strains at amsterdam marijuana seed bank white widow haze strains indica and sativa marijuana seed breeds.

scroll down to you see caramelicious...was also thinking about white queen sounds pretty badass how many plants do you think i could fit in that approx. 36in tall 20in deep 30 in wide hydroponic system in the link above and the yield possibilities with that system and that bud since it says it only gets up to like 26 in at most so that sounds like it would work pretty good.

honestly, build it yourself, you need more in that set up then they offer -- mother chamer cloning, and flowering, that set up is 1 chamber. ...

you need alot more teh nit offers -- this is your first time you say -- learn from the begigning read. and design --- most pre made set ups will not give you what you need ....

the darkroom looks decent if you do want premade however -- i am rebuilding mine though about it but i am creating a false room in my shed instead /...

Seriously, as the other guy suggested build it yourself. If you can build quality speaker boxes, you can build a weed growing box yourself. And probably much better than you would buy.

I was lucky and had these things sitting in my garage but i think you can buy them at Wal-mart for like 25 bucks? face them together leave one back off and viola!

Its real easy to make something decent for cheap!

:peace:


It could easily be made light proof but i'm lazy and put it together in only a few hours. Plus it's our house so we don't have to stress!

dont waste your money on that grow box bro. I mean in my opinion that thing might take 3 full grown LST trained plants max, it just wont be successful for great yields and efficientcy. You could get much better results from a well vented and circulated closet. You can make it very discrete. I dont know I just think unless your trying to go stealth or just not grow big crops then you could go with one of those box's. My take anyhow.

What's LST trained plants?

I would love to build one and save the money and have the satisfaction of knowing i did it myself, but I love with 3 college roommates and have no where to build it without someone finding out. Only me and two guys are going to know about it not even my roommates are so thats why i want this setup for the stealth and carbon odor filter.

What else would i need thats not included with this kit, and whats you guy's estimate of how many plants could be fit in there of caramelicious and what's an estimate of the yield off that number of plants?

honestly if you are in college, why grow weed shoudl be abundent lol,

I dont know carmel, but you may be able to fit 3 lowriders in thier. they auto flower and rqamin short.

LST is low stress training, you bend the plant the way you want it to go, tie it down etc, this way oyu conserve space.


what oyu may want to do is 1 plant SCROG style -- you can go 12 12 strait from seed for a small plant... not recomended bt this will alow oyu to do 1 plant and reconize a femael instantly...



I still say build your own, even if its a old dresser, wardrobe or whatever ...


how much do you need -- a box liek that wont give you more then a oz at a time... if that.

well i used to sell...had the best bud in my college town because i had a connect from bankhead that had retarded good bud, but he ended up robbing me so the good bud is no where to be found...mostly mids or the occasional headies. how come you say i couldn't yield but an ounce off of that box? i was hoping at least up around a pound per plant since caramelicious is a lowrider anyway how come you think i can only get an ounce off three plants???

what did you mean by this Jriggs..

1 plant 2 foot tall will yield about an ounce on average in my experience, thats all relative to strain and conditions

Yield : up to 21 ounces / 600 grams m2

1lb 5 ozs off 1 square meter of tops

so an area 3ftx3ft will yield 1lb 5ozs grown in perfect conditions

not 19ozs per plant:)

Dont plan on keeping it a secret for long and white widow is to big for cramming nine into a cabinet. Think you should consider a smaller plant and not growing if you live with people you cant trust.
