ADULT: My next grow? I'm gonna take a little time off and smoke some of this first before I leap back into the fray. Want to chill for a bit first - it's a lot of work as I don't grow at home so it's not like it's in the other room.

JUZ: It's Northern Lights. Very tasty and potent thus far and still waiting for it to cure to get some real good smoke...

FILTHY: I doubt you can make one this good and well constructed for under $500, let alone $1,000. Can you make something that will work? Probably yes, but this is all automated (it's called GrowSmart) and it's awesome. No smell, heat, etc. The pumps and lights all come on and do their thing. It's great. It's an investment but will pay itself off (already did in my eyes). And there is no muss or fuss, it works flawlessly and the customer support is great when questions come up.

Don't nickel and dime - if you have a little extra cash take the plunge or chip in with a buddy you trust like I did.

3 grand is quite an investment. I see where your justification comes in, but i've never even been asked to pay more than 400 an ounce. And that was durring a time when shit was the only thing within a 50 mile zone.

how much room did you have inside? If you can only get 2 plants, I'm not sure this was the best choice. How are those lights they give? I hear good things, but i've never used them. And finaly..... I'm too lazy to try and look, but how much power does the entire thing draw (ie. veg is on 24/7 or 18/6, and flower is on 12/12)?

You can get more than 2 plants in there. I had 3 but one was a male. I just wanted to get my feet wet with my first grow. There are 9 pots in there so theoretically you can grow 9. I understand they will adapt to the space in there so you can try growing all you want. It was a little tight in there though so experience in bending and lst is a plus. I don't think it draws much electric at all. It's a 430w HPS bulb (I think).

Very nice first grow my man, and you coulnt have picked a better strain to try first. You have something to be VERY proud of and a great foundation to build off of. I wish you all the best and luck in the world.

Well been awhile since I visited this thread.I know it was a first time grow in the box but man were those some ugly plants lol.Guess you learned you should veg your plants more then about 8 inches tall in these crap boxes.To answer your question. Yeah I actually have built one for under $500 now that is better then the bllom box.Its steel constructed ,air tight, zero negative pressure,600 watt light, aero, air scrubber co2 and its all automated which was the easy part.Gotta luve timers and climate controllers.I did mine as a 12 plant system best for lollipoping and smaller indicas.I added the option to lower or raise my enclosed pl light fixture with a small electric motor at the touch of a button .Can yours do that?? (-=

7oz. dry. They might have been ugly but they did the trick...

Filthy: They were more than 8 inches in veg - why so hostile towards the bloombox? I'm glad you're so proud of yours, sounds freakin' lovely. But not everyone has the inclination or the time or the space to build their own...

Nothin to you dejm1 I get angry at these bloomboxes as they are such a lie and after talking with dozens of hydro shops who sell them and then have them talk about how crappy they are and they dont produce nearly like they say but rather are aimed at getting new growers with shock an awe it pisses me off.If you take 20 minutes and look at these they are such a simple principle and take nothing to recreate but this company swindeles 3-4 grand out of people for these when they can be beat by a $45 aero tub for 6 plants and that grow can be automatic too.add food,water, clones and go.I got more upset watching other ooh and ahh over the box that is such a rip off for anyone who can read a tape measure and hold a saw.Im glad it worked out for you to what you felt was worth it.

haha Im one of those stupid people i guess that want a bloom box it "looks cool " it is expensive with only 1 water pump so if it goes out your girls die. yes the bloom box is over priced but you can get close to 8 ozs dried off a cycle and supposly you can get 6 harvests in a year they recommend to keep clone for 7 days vege for 7 days then flower for 6 weeks so fully 2 month cycle. compared to organics you may only get 4-5 harvests in a year. the picture i saw it looks like 2 plants was pretty tight in there. who else has bloom boxes I would love to see more pictures of them filled up to kinda see how much can really be fit into them and if they truly are a rip off. if you were going to go to Texas hydroponics and build your own with all the parts there. what would oneself by if you wanted to spend around 2500 3 grand what is better aero or hydro i see so many set ups grow smart technology what is this does it just mean computer controled?

Yes I agree I am interested in finding out more. I have about two years to save and end my current job. Then I'm going back to school. I don't have much for tools, if but if I'm lucky I may find a house to rent with a garage hopefully with room enough to get some work done. I plan on buying one of BCNL's packages "the big mac." All the nutrients, and extra parts come included. All i'd have to get a is a C02 tank and the right seeds. My biggest consern is space. I plan on getting the mothership and a producer. BCNL's claims do seem pretty outragous but then again with the right seed's and some experience maybe they aren't. I've been searching all over and this has been the best post I have found so far anyone with some BCNL product experience please post. Also if you know how to build something better and just as stealthy as BNCL products for a much cheaper price please post or send me in the right direction. Would it be possibe to build something like the bloombox or a producer only taller, while maintaining the stealthiness like I said I'll be renting so this is important

A few quick questions regarding the Bloombox:

1) Do the odours from the flowering chamber leak outside?
2) Is the carbon filter fan noisy?
3) Does the bloombox come with a carbon filter fan?
4) What else (CO2 tank, seeds etc) did you have to purchase seperatly which was not included with the Bloombox?
5) Was the reservoir large enough to hold a descent amount of water and nutes or did you have to keep refilling regularly (in the vegetative stage anyway because I think you used pots during flowering...right?).

6) Finally what would you change about the Bloombox if you could?

Please answer...LOL

Thanks

P.S. I found your journal very intresting compared to the rest, loved reading through it.

Now I can build almost an identical model at home that will be damn near the same quality as I am a trained welder and have access to a jorney man electrician if by some chance I would need one. I have built aero and hydro setups for years so the grow setup is fine.I am quite familar with electronic controlled climates and injections.
For more of Fletch's bizarre hate-on for the BloomBox, please visit this thread:

https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/31894-bloombox-2.html#post490742

Fletch seems to think that our products and services are crap because - if we take his false identity at face value - a trained welder and experienced growing expert with access to an electrician could build a knock-off "BloomBox for less.

For those people who don't possess his impressive resume, if you are looking for the only purpose-built, medical grade indoor garden on the market and a Grow Your Own solution that is backed by 16hrs a day, 7 days a week toll-free support, please visit BC Northern Lights

Please be sure to check out our BloomBox assembly video and beware of cheap competitors who flog velcro tents, Staples filing cabinets or Home Depot sheds rigged with gear and priced at a much higher markup than anything we manufacture here at BCNL.

Hi! I won't comment on any of the qualitative stuff. Let's let the customers speak on that. In terms of details, it does come with a coco carbon filter that we manufacture ourselves. The fan draws all air through the filter for scrubbing. With certain plants, at certain times and under certain environmental conditions odours might escape. If that happens or is an annoyance for you, just call the support line for some easy troubleshooting tips.

In terms of the additional purchases, if you get the BloomBox Royale it comes with everything you need except CO2 tank and whatever you wish to grow. It has the BloomBox plus a year's supply of growing accessories, backup pumps and bulbs, a year's supply of nutrients and The Dryer!

The basic BloomBox comes with a 4 month supply of nutrients and growing media. You would need to get a PH Pen at least.

As far as the reservoir goes, it is designed to be filled and left for 7-10 days depending on how hot your climate is and how big your plants are. All you have to do is change nutrients once a week or so.

Right on.

bc your so full of your company its hilarious.Dude where is your grow gallery? what not even 1 picture to show the greatness of the bloom box producer growing ganja to show these massive yields and guess you dont know umm mediacl grade weed comes from a quality grow which can be done in a bucket of dirt ya dipsheet.Just becausse your just a salemen with no trades training or vocational background doesnt mean the rest of us are.You love your overpriced box that under yields and is not reccomended by most hydro shops I personally have walked into and had discussions with and I see it hurts your feeling but Im sorry the thread asked for opinions and thoughts..Maybe when you come on and show and prove this magic box that produces pounds every week of this magical medical grade weed that only can be grown in this box then I can say I have seen wrong and was given in correct opinions..Show me wrong instead of pissing in the wind telling me what my opinion or others opinions are instead of saying only your opinion which is a key word here is the only way or your an idiot.Come on and bring these great medical grade crops your boasting about mR 30 year gamja grower.Now go sit in your desk wait for the first new grower to come along and sindle hikm out of 5 grand..Now last and all you my friend can not tell me what my opinion or that of thousands of others should be becuase you sell the damn product..If someone wants to spend that much money on this thing thats fine but doesnt mean I have to say "oh yes bc is right he knows all and even showed me what I think of this item" not gonna happen I dont see 5 grand worth of product in it and Im sorry for that.But before you as the new guy comes in and tell me what I can think or have an opinion or or what my trades background is you should know a person personal before ya open your mouth....Now since you tell me my opinion I will tell you yours.You believe that anyone who deosnt buy your product must be so dumb as you need 5 grand to grow 8 oz of magic medical grade weed and if they dont spend it with bc they cant grow anything but shwag...fuckin numbnuts stop reciting your website info and bring back picture proof of the box growing lbs at a time of this cannibus cup buds...

Keep it coming Feltch. The more that I inform you, the less stupid you will be. Our customers have to search online to find videos like the Producer in action. As a representative of the company, I cannot condone illegal activity nor can we represent things like that on our website. We will be rolling out a medical marijuana campaign to legal canadian growers this spring. Hopefully then we can show people how our products and services can aid legal medical access.

and guess you dont know umm mediacl grade weed comes from a quality grow which can be done in a bucket of dirt ya dipsheet.
I see that your reading comprehension rivals your ability to compose coherent sentences. Medical grade marijuana can be grown in lots of places. No other indoor garden on the market is manufactured from medical grade, powder-coated aluminum. It's the same kind of material used in other medical appliances.

Just becausse your just a salemen with no trades training or vocational background doesnt mean the rest of us are.
No kidding hey? That's kinda the point, bright lights. We support people who don't have the skills and experience of a Darwin Award luminary such as yourself.

You love your overpriced box that under yields and is not reccomended by most hydro shops I personally have walked into and had discussions with
Doesn't anyone else find it funny how much time Feltch has supposedly spent researching a box that he would never possibly conceive of buying for himself? Methinks he doth protest too much. I wish he was more honest about himself.

and I see it hurts your feeling but Im sorry the thread asked for opinions and thoughts..Maybe when you come on and show and prove this magic box that produces pounds every week of this magical medical grade weed that only can be grown in this box then I can say I have seen wrong and was given in correct opinions..
Does false attribution ever work? You sure are funny.

HAHAHAHA LMAO!!!!! wow that is a whole lot. i bet that could be put to shame easy. THEY MUST REALLY HAVE YALL FOOLED. You must never heard of SOG, you say 6 harvest a year? :spew:

try getting a harvest every 2 weeks. go do some research. dont be fooled by the marketing hype.

and organics? LMAO again. organics has nothing to do with how many harvest you can have. you really need to read.

BCNL, you all need to start offering some type of REAL reading/educational material to your customers, they are apparently oblivious

Like I said bc when you can put up some real backing of these product and show me why this is the holy grail of 5 gran investments then Ill take my hat off to you but at this point your a used car salemens trying to pawn your warez with nothing to back any statement you make..Pick the side of the fence you wanna be on Can you proof its effectivness for growing marijuna or just lettuce???Ill wait for your pictures and links to these great videos showing it in action until then you got nothing to show me as a grower and I have shown my abilities to build money saving versions of high dollar items at much lower costs.I will go ahead and make a project mini bloom box here as soon as I get a chance and will even do a grow journel on it.I believe I will out produce it with a smaller unit and under $400.If I win on this one you send me a free bc producer and I will test it out and make a video for buyers to see with it in action.If I cant make a heavy producing knockoff for around that $400 Ill take every word back and declare you and bc genius gods at your will and call

Heres what you selling for all that money . A standard sheet metal box on casters with a ballast kit in the top.I saw nothing to complicated here.A simple metal band saw. sheet metal break and some sheet metal screws although I will be using 1.8 steel plating and welded joints which makes a more ridgid design..
