This was a gift for my mother in-law. I wanted to expirement with it, but was curious to find out more about it first if possible. It has 6 55w double flourescents and a over head light. vents on top and stands just over 3 ft tall. There are reflective panels on the inside and tinted panels on the outside. Has anyone used this before and with what kind of results? Thank you in advance.

I believe it is called a phototron. They used to advertise in high times all the time. Never used one but I always thought that they did not exactly look ideal for growing out a cannabis plant to maturity.

I remember seeing those in high times back in the day too. It looks like you could grow weed just fine in it. Throw some seeds in there and lets see whats up!

That looks so sexy for an easy veg room. Anyway to attach a blower with good suction to the top near the vent to help suck all that hot air out?

I bought a Phototron back when they first came out in high school (yes I'm old). The ballast it came with was no good and the company would not send out another ballast. After paying for one, the unit performed flawlessly. The Phototron is too small to take a Marijuana plant to maturity. It's an ideal veg machine for a few weeks but that's about it...

Those are old school, they where the first growing chambers put out years ago.
I think it would be good for a mother or something

A friend just gave me a phototron. Looks like the same model. There is supposed to be a method to growing in the thing. Lots of pruning to create multiple buds sites. The light comes from the sides, so it's not a traditional grow by any means. If you have the directions that came with it, I'd love a copy.
