Hi Everyone, I have invested into the following setup and am starting my very first hydro grow I hope you enjoy! Setup:1 Brand New Bloombox unit by BC Northern Lights Features: *White powder coated finish to utilize maximum reflectivity, providing Over 90,000 lumens of light to the flowering chamber. *The vegetation chamber is designed to house two mother plants year round, and clones *The flowering chamber is powered by a high output 430-watt H.P.S. air-cooled lighting system, enabling an optimum environment for 9 mature plants with over 3 and a half feet of growing height available. *Four fans, the first is in the vegetative chamber which draws fresh air into the bloombox, one in the flowering chamber to push air out through the coco-carbon filter, and two housed within the glass enclosed HPS bulb lighting area. These fans work symbiotically to extract the heated air and maintain the optimum growing temperature. *Fully automatic CO2 Injection system *Made from high quality precision cut, medical grade aluminum, providing durability and allowing for easy cleaning (no mold or mildew buildup!). *Complete hydroponics watering system (Vegetation and Flowering) *2 clean and quiet, 85 gph pumps timed to come on and off to eliminate any risk of problematic over watering. *Each plant is individually watered via regulated drip emitters. *Twin-chamber thermoformed reservoirs and custom designed lids allow for optimal plant spacing, and easy drainage. *The water reservoirs are oxygenated using air bubblers that will ensure the roots receive the oxygen necessary for superb root development.. *Manual override switches allow the pumps to be easily turned off mid cycle for easy nutrient exchange and maintenance. *Custom fit pots throughout both chambers easily accept the included rock wool cubes, minimizing root and plant damage during transplanting. 1 Brand New Dryer unit by BC Northern Lights Features: *Over 7.5 square feet of curing space. The Dryer will help protect you from mold, offensive odors, and the mess normally associated with curing. This little wonder also speeds up drying time, allowing you to enjoy your product sooner. 1 20lb Co2 Tank Sensi Grow A&B by AN Sensi Bloom A&B by AN Big Bud by AN Overdrive by AN Jumpstart by AN Carboload by AN Vitaboost by AN Ona Liquid Concentrate by An Voodoo Juice by AN Bud Blood by AN B-52 by AN Connoiseur Bloom A&B by AN 10 Feminized Master Kush Seeds from a well known Netherlands company Strain Information: Two times winner of the Cannabis Cup, Master Kush is a classic coffeeshop favourite.

Being an old and older soil grower over 30 years, It is amazing at what has developed to help produce cannabis for many who do not have outdoor access 24/7/365.
We look forward to being able to view your hardworks and efforts to share this with us all. Thank you.

Geee.... That box looks familiar. ;-) Cool! I can't believe you bought it new! They're sooo expensive! I can't wait to compare grows.

Free Thinker

If it's between a 1/2Z and a Z a plant every 10 weeks or 5 harvests a year in SOG mode.
And if its 400 a Z for round numbers, which I'll knock down to 300 to offset consumables (electrcity, bulbs, nutes, and gizmos) Then 300*5*4.5 (min) = $6750 or 300*5*9 (max) = $13,500 So if the outlay is $3500 the payback is between 3 and 6 months if the assumptions are right and the demand or need for the product exists In my experience all projects with a 1 year or under payback go forward. I do think the question of opportunity cost should be considered; i.e. can the same outcome be had for a lesser amount using a different strategy thereby allowing the capital to be used for other needs. I'm voting yes it's worth it, but much like the government, it's easy for me to spend your money:-) |

That's very similar to what I came out with before i went ahead and made the purchase. I do agree with you that the same outcome can be had for a lesser amount using a different strategy but i don't think it would fit my needs as well as this unit does, as one of the main attributes of the unit is its stealth and lack of smell. But then again I have only read reviews and other grow journals maybe i will find it does smell, that would really suck. I'm okay with the noise it makes, the BCNL reps had told me it is about as loud as a computer and I could even keep it by the t.v or in my bedroom but I found it is a bit louder then a computer. I am storing it in a spare room and with the door closed I cant hear it at all :)

Good goin! Yeah, I should call the BCNL people and tell them to stop saying it's as loud as a computer. LOL! With the carbon filter, the smell is barely noticeable.

Well if I don't get 9 healthy little girls from these I have 5 Super Silver Haze seeds as well but they aren't feminized and I don't really know how to sex, could be the time I'm forced to learn
