I used to have a real small version of this and grew like parsley in it I think I’d have to ask my wife. Even if the whole thing is four ft tall and holds two plants, no way are you pulling a lb from that there’s just no way and if you are I’d like a break down of what your doing cause I can set up like ten of those things throughout the whole house and if your pulling two I’ll fly out there and blow you for your secrets

This this group is...all you guys did was put me down
because you're trying to promote the use of a piece of bullshit equipment that would be a total and complete waste of money, time and space. you could do better in the same space with 1/3 the investment in real lights...but you know what? you're right, if people want to piss away their time and money, and waste space on an inferior piece of equipment, who am i to stop them? just let me get my lawn chair and a drink, watching lemmings throw themselves from the cliffs is dry work.

Nothing to promote the company is no longer around..but people still have them apparently..otherwise this thread wouldn't be here..I'm here to try and help them

The secret to growing in a Phototrons is not to follow the directions that came with them..I turned mine into SWC/TRON and used Technaflora BC nutrients..2094OGpix_3311.jpeg.jpg

That I agree with but not a lb it takes space and deep light penetration and good aeration to produce a good useable lb and you can’t get that in one of those small things I can get a lb out of a 4x4 tent s.o.g three plants and that’s doing it all right no problems I truly believe herb can grow in it just the quantity is what I disagree with and with how much it cost and how little it is I don’t see it being effective to produce good amounts
