So I've been searching through some journals...

Ive been using the search feature to find grows conducted in a SuperCloset system, and many of them are abandoned or uncompleted for some reason. What gives bruh?!:fire:

I'm pretty interested in the SuperBox system but I can't seem to find a grow from start to finish with final dry yield amounts?

Why don't you want to build your own far superior, custom tailored system for half the price?

I have gone through all of my options and I have reached the conclusion that I cannot due to my current living status. This must be 100% stealthy, odor free (or as much as possible), 100% light tight and stealth cabinet looking. I can't be using power tools around the apartment, cant attract any attention.

Its gotta be a prebuilt grow box and considering I found that SuperCloset has the SuperBox system at an affordable price AND they could knock of a lot off the shipping quote, its something I'm looking into. BC Northern Lights is ridiculously expensive (I looked into their "Roommate box", and other premade boxes are simply either too big or out of my $900 price range. The box would be a California legal medical grow for personal medicating (so a small box would be perfect).

I will miss the large tents I've had in my past grows though...200w CFL will never beat my 1000w HPS/MH set up...nor my 2x Magnum 357 set up :(

Now back to the original question, why are there so many unfinished/abandoned SuperCloset grow journals?

Speaking as a trinity owner, the novelty of the boards wears off. When you're new, you're into sharing your story. By the time harvest comes around, you have found your flow. In my experience, the board info/input made matters worse. So if you're having less of a need to come on the boards to research issues, you have less opportunity or reason to come and post. Or, at least, that's has been my experience.

Also, I had pics posted on nearly every one of my journal entries. Wasn't sure that my camera GPS was turned off, so I erased everything to be certain. Only left entries that had no pics. I no longer post pics, too risky, in my opinion.

While I defend my purchase, you absolutely can create your own much cheaper. Which also means you can control it's stealthiness.

Yields in hydro are usually gauged by watts to grams. 600 watts can theoretically grow 600 grams with the right settings. BUT, if it's your first venture in hydro, it is wise to plan that the first grow is 1/4 of the standard, 2nd grow is 1/2 the standard, 3rd is 3/4ths. Reason being that a noob screws up less each round. Hydro is a dance between knowledge and balance within the system. My best advice to anyone beginning hydro is Less Is More. Or KISS - keep it simple stupid.

Cant remember what my first yield was, think it was about 1/3 first time around. Pretty close to what I said above. But my grow area has different space than the grow box.

My last few journal entries have SC tips. Wrote them bcuz so many people email me with questions.

because when you cut corners there tends to be a series of cut corners with sub standard product being the results, id have to say if your not set up with proper air flow, intake/exhaust, temp/humidity, full spectrum lighting with proper ratios per square ft, which is harder to do in a smaller space then a bigger space, id say shit happens

that or shear lazyness

Thats ridiculous. Plenty of people grow high yields in small locations. Would hardly consider a SC as a product that has cut corners. Do you own one?

i have done it, 11 OZ off a 400 i was happy, im just saying i think most start small, but most as new growers dont have the big picture combination of growing knowledge yet

Your post had nothing to do with what omdogg asked. Instead you questioned the integrity of a product you don't own.

Nice yield.

thanks best yield of all my grows (grams per watt) ratio but i get close most of the time

ok ya i see that, but id say its the same idea as i was saying, id say most new growers buy boxes and cabinets and established growers or higher yield growers will make there own based on the specs they need . . i dont know

guess i really have to say that once you start adding up cost that extra 300-800 bucks for a pre-made grow cab can be better spen on some buddies and a twelve pack . .. i guess im speakingonly from expierence always made my own and wired my own . .. .

Like I said in my original post, you can definitely build cheaper. However, many people just want to rid themselves of the hassle, and that makes it worth it.

I would suggest that Omdogg look through Craigslist because I always see many kinds of boxes for sale in my area. Although I have heard NL unit run extremely hot. No personal experience tho.

What strain was that? Been running clones from it and getting less?

it was soma lavender and s trainwreck hybrid in 2 gallon smart bags in coco with canna under a 400 HPS blue hortilux on a 2.5ft track , cloaset was 18in by 56 in by 64 inches 8 2 gallon plants fit perfect . . .gram a watt is still my goal, been close a few times but never been better then about .75grams per watt

I haven't hit it yet either. Hoping this round. Just starting SCROG, following the West Coast Masters book. Really just a layout for effective scrog for me. But, of all the books I've read, I think it has the simplest layout for someone new. It's straightforward in how to build your entire setup, with measurements and pics, then teaches you to scrog for highest yield where plant count matters. It doesn't focus on nutes or botany much, which I liked. The details and specifics for training were well worth the investment.

I don't think it has anything to do with the "SuperCloset" itself. I think a lot of Noobies (more or less) start a journal with a lot of "Youthful Exuberance" and enthusiasm - but no experience and very little knowledge. After a couple of weeks (or so) they run into the inevitable "big problems" and don't know what to do, so they just quit.

On the other hand, maybe they just "forgot" - they are Stoners, after all!
