BC NL Bloombox or Shoddy DIY?

[vapo-eyes]

Ok, I have been putting off starting a grow due mostly to the fact that I am not very good in woodworking nor mechanically inclined, I'm all about software and uArch. I know most of the 420 members recommend the DIY grow box. I have flirted with the idea, however when it comes to assembly crap from Ikea I end up getting pissed because I break something or render it useless altogether. I have been seriously looking at the bloombox and the supercloset trinity. I've heard some info on the bloombox, some good, some bad but all in all that it was a decent system. The trinity looks good but got no real reviews on it. What say you the 420 community? I might could pull off a DIY project, but it will probably take me a few tries and at least half the price of a premade unit with a warranty. I'm in a quandary. I already hit up the Tude bank and have some beans (papaya and Himalaya Gold + single freebies) waiting for a place to call home. Any ideas, info, or advice would be greatly appreciated and seriously considered.

Thanks

If you don't mind paying for convenience, what's wrong with that? It sounds like you're itching to get those seeds cracked!

I started following the LED grows and decided to give a DIY cab a try. Waiting for my light to arrive and shopping for a piece of furniture to put it in. If it doesnt bloom like advertised, I'll use it for moms only and
pick up a bloombox, they don't look stealthy but they are purpose built.

Thanks for the feedback.

For the investment in a bloom box (what is it like $2500) you could build yourself a killer setup using a grow tent. You could go all out, including using water cooled lights and a co2 injector (--they have these great water cooled co2 injectors for like 400). The yield would be much greater, plus you would have the satisfaction of building and owning a top of the line grow setup. Not to rain on you parade or sound like a bitch, but those bloom boxes really seem like a scam to me, IMHO -- just way too much money for a product that doesn't produce that much. The only plus side is they are easily concealable if you are wanting to keep your grow on the dl.

I think DIY is best bet usually, if you cant design your own find a grow on here you like and copy it as best you can
