Hello RIU,
I started off by asking for suggestions in the Newbie section, and after about a week of looking at various options, I took the plunge and bought myself a Yielder Max from Cabinet Grow.
In summary of my past thread: I am a first-time grower, looking to grow enough to handle the needs of myself and my grandma as we are legal 215 patients in the state of California. I'm good with numbers, and computers, but quite honestly I'm not the DIY type.
Many people suggest going the DIY route to save money, but just about everyone has a long list of mistakes, changes, upgrades, and tweaks to their first grow until they get the hang of it. I want to avoid as much of that learning curve as possible.
After crunching some numbers with the help of several companies (I looked at Closet Grow, SuperCloset, and BC Northern Lights.) I finally settled onto this awesome grow box.

I ordered my unit this week, and it should be done by Friday! Although I probably wont be able to pick it up until sometime next week. Along with the actual plants in this thread, I'm going to be doing an in-depth analysis of money we save (Hopefully!!!) by growing our own instead of plopping down cash at the local dispensary!
I have a kill-a-watt unit to use to measure electricity, and I have already started a spreadsheet of all the associated hidden costs that are sure to pop up here and there!
So as of today:
-1834.92 (Cabinet & Tax)
I saved on shipping by picking the unit up in person. It's not too far of a drive for me.
I have a friend who grows who will be supplying me with clones to populate this bad boy! I believe he said the strain is Ice. I'll get more details from him when I can.
Anyways, I don't have any real information yet, so I'll just say I welcome any and all criticism, input, or advice! Grandma who will be tending to the plants on the day-to-day basis should chime in too if I can get her to!
