New Grower GrowBox should i do it? need answers please

[Conspicuous Owl]

Soon I will be getting my tax return and I wanted to start growing autos I was thinking about growing them from this box here

http://supercloset.com/product/grow-boxes/superflower-led-grow-cabinet/

I was wondering should I fill the entire 16 plant holders in the superponics system?

please let me know.

If you have the money and want to spend it that way sure! but IMO you could go way cheaper building it yourself

Hi, C Owl That's quite a grow cab, there. Are there functional reasons why you're looking at a cabinet setup, versus a tent? I'm thinking you could outfit a tent (thinking a 4x4x6.5 foot) with the whole shooting match for under $1000, including nutes and meters-and not cheap gear, either.. Not putting down that cabinet-great little turn key system there, but a lot of that price is for glitter and convenience.
Let me now if you'd like to look into a tent setup, and we could PM some ideas
Best to you! :Sharing One:

I just need something that is stealth doesn't smell and is energy efficient I contacted them and they said it runs 3.2 amps if I ran it 20/4 it would generally raise my Electric bill $25

It comes with a 16 slot superponics system should I fill every slot with a plant or how many should I fill?

The cab has 400w equivalent Kind led that is a yoyo fixture and T5 Side lighting the box dimensions are 3ft x 2ft x 6ft and should I look into pest control? If so any recommendations

The cab is 36"x24" ... that's about right for two small or medium autos or 1 full sized auto ... if you're into high end gadgetry the cab looks sweet but a $200 LED in a closet could do the job about as efficiently ...

I have as cab thats 50"x22'x22'. I have a 180 watt MarsHydro UFO style light that works great for this space. I paid I think $84 shipped for it.

That growbox from supercloset is a great stealthy idea, but the carbon scrubber is actually a Odorsok, which IMO suck something awful! Not trying to be rude, but I have owned them and you will get about 1/3 of the way through your grow and they will give out and you just took your stealth cabinet for a stroll to every neighbor in town! Yeah, they are that bad! Google them, reviews are bad. I have the Herb dryer from superclosets. I have to say, that dry bow is the bees knees AFTER I put a Phresh filter in it! The 6 inch oder sok didn't even get my through 4 days of drying! I would go with something different, personally.

from a dollar standpoint, Waximus just gave you the best option your money will buy!

Alright I'm getting what your saying here now so should I go for a guerilla tent? I'm going to put it in a shed like an 8x12 or 10x12 I would still like to go DWC and use led for cost effectiveness could I grow more than 2 autos this way? Also the carbon filter is it just for masking exhaust or will it mask the smell in the whole shed?

Hey Owl Like they say a DIY setup will give you much more bang for your buck. But if you don't have the time, skills or whatever for DIY and you decide to go with a prefab cab, at least give this cab a look before you buy. I looked at the ones in your link but I found the link below. This is what I bought. Better product IMO

I think the guerrilla tent would be better then the box personally.
My buddy was going to make the same cab from scratch for 900 USD but, went with a 5x5 tent + mh/hps ..carbon filter/fan combo etc. More bang for his buck, Now he has way more space then the cab. He is a very happy camper, and on his first auto grow.

If you did go with a box, I would try to get one where you could custom fit a small 4inch carbon filter + fan combo in there. Or even one that comes with it.

w/e the descision. I know your going to enjoy growing. Make sure to make a journal, and let us know. Ill sub up. Oh, and I forgot to say welcome to AFN.
