Hi there, I'm looking for a commercially made grow box, I've seen some really great ones in the US but the shipping is very expensive and was hoping to pick up something here. I really like this one: http://www.cabinetgrow.com/earth-cab-max-grow-box/ and was hoping to buy something similar. I've done searches on google and looked through various hydroponics sites but noone seems to sell fully set up boxes. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hey guys, by chance and the lady's pull I've got the option of aquiring a refridgerated grow fridge-like device. Basically it kinda looks like what you see in the supermarket but fully set up for growing, it's going for between 1.5k and 2k or 3k with a co2 system and bottle. I don't think I'd worry about the co2 system but what do you guys know of the pros/cons of growing in something like this? It seems pretty lush and could prolly grow in summer but yeah? Cheers

Hey dudes, Being totally useless at handyman stuff I've decided to buy a readymade growtent or growbox, But I'm a little noobish as to how much I should be paying. So far I'm looking at one of these; http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Stealth-hydroponic-Grow-Box-Complete-Setup-450-600-Watt-GH-Nutrients-up-down-/321227913232?pt=US_Hydroponics&var&hash=item4acaacf810&_uhb=1 http://www.growroom.com.au/shop/kits-complete/4x-15ltr-pot-600watt-gull-wing-kit/ http://www.growroom.com.au/shop/kits-complete/2x-15ltr-pot-400watt-kit/ So being a noob I figured I'd ask some advice Any recommendation or anything are appreciated

Fire Safety

Hi, I have read a few comments about people experiencing fires. I'd probably rather be busted than have my house burn down... I would love to hear some pointers for minimizing risks. for instance, Are the mylar tents flammable? Should a ballast be put in a fire proof container? Would a HPS fitting ever catch fire? Thanks

What do ya's reckon of this setup? 1m x 1m x 2m growing space (thinking about a tent for a bigger grow space) with a 400w hps n digital ballast, cool tube reflector, centrifugal fan and carbon filter.

Good Evening enthusiasts, I figured it was time I post something so people can see kid of what I'm up to, please keep in mind that alot of the planning is taking place on the fly as we are kind of seeing what works as we go. Currently the case is a Silverstone TJ05, this is only intended for use during the initial Veg stage till they are ready for something larger. I've gone ahead and stripped out anything that wasnt essential that could give e some more space in the grow are, I've had to rip out the mainboard tray, the HDD and DVD rails and a few other things, the result is not a bad little grow box. The Lights are 4x Phillips 24w Cool-white CFL's, hopefully more th…

I'm wanting to go with one of the hydro grow tent kits for 2 plants. How much lighting would I need? The 400watt or 600watt? How much does a grow add on to the electricity bill on average?

Any sugestions for keeping temps up in a 1mx1m tent in winter when in 12/12. Plants seam to be adjusting but the drop in temps are defiantley slowing growth. Someone sugested a heat tube like the ones used in greenhouses but the smallest I could find was 1.3m. Any ideas would be apreciated. Cheers.

Hi Ozstoners cannabis community i started another post in classies re a shorter cooltube but it may turn in to a whole new thing cos refinement and tweaks are becoming necessary to the indoor garden space. i will just re-post what I wrote there-mostly ramble and stream of though but I would like anyone to share any ideas proven or not to maybe come up with something that works for me-'sides maybe we learn heaps of cool stuff too. Here is the post from earlier: ...Hi all-I just re-measured the 'tube and although the glass is 600mm, the flanges add at least another hundy, 150 mm. so I think I'm gonna cut it down to 500mm. Its just the ducting (I have acoustic in t…
