long time reader first time writer...blah. I just had my first day with first set up it is great see in pictures but my friend gave me this thing and now i dont know what to do? what is going to work better? my thing is stelth (as you can see)(or do you) but i can make this thing "blend in" with the room. but i have no idea how to use this like it was made so any help will do.
:jawdropper:
What a crazy looking contraption! I'm certainly no Phototron expert, but judging from your pictures, I have concluded with 100% certainty that you're going to need a flux capacitor before that time-machine will ever fly. It's simply not feasible to travel time without one. :thumbsup:
If you don't want to take my word for it, you can purchase a complete set of operating instructions here: Pyraponic Industries
Good luck! :jointsmile:
just from what i have been reading the regular instructions will not work but it is a nice start.
but is it worth it?
I honestly don't know anything about that thing, bro. I'd imagine that it wouldn't be much harder than plugging it in, and watching it go... but if it's not even doing that, then I'm at a loss. I personally wouldn't bother using one, unless I was actually wanting to grow flowers with it. I need much more area than that thing would allow... but for one plant, it seems like it might work. Give this thread some time, if anyone has ever used one, they'll chime in and tell ya about it.Quote:

thank you for trying... see in my grow box i only have about 36 inches so the phototron is taller... but the more i look the more i dont know.
like my box? i keep it from my roommate he would tell EVERYONE.
damn i could see myself converting that thing into a vertical scrog setup with a vertical 400 cooltube. im gettin a woody over here thinkin about it :thumbsup:...LOL.
I have read in a lot of places that the phototron sucks for growing herb. Never experienced it personally though.
i remember seeing that in HT and thinking it was a rip, but for free its nice. maybe make it a veg/ starter chamber and then move to your stealth for flower.
haha nice shoes btw
it is my friends dads he used it in the 80's. is there a u bulb that will kick it up a notch?
My thing is i keep douting my new box it is my first one to build and my first time to grow. and one more my lighting right now is 18/6 is that ok for my rubbermaid?
I will post new pic atleast once a week so keep looking.
Times have vhanged since the 80s. My friends are running a new version of the phototron but the old school one is pretty primitive. Definitely a collectors item and will be worth a fortune someday so dont go cutting holes in it.
That closet is a fire hazard. Don't grow in there with all the clothes. You need to do some rearranging.
A phototron WOULD, with some adapting, make a very nice base for a plexiglass reptile tank- the critters would stay warm and the PT itself looks like an aquarium base anyway, and noises and cords are expected.
