I know somebody out there has know someone or seen pictures of someone with a catalog bought machine but i can never find any pics. This one with the link is the only one really in my price range. Should I expect atleast say 6 ounces per grow session in this box. or more or less. Please someone let me know your experience i need to learn before i burn the cash

I think you should build your own.

alright theres one vote come on i need more opinions this is a big decision. Im not very hand with tools is my problem and im lazy so i wanted something that would be simple. My real concern is if the econo grow machine will have enought space to produce say and ounce or two or buds per plants so say maybee 10 -12 ounces hoopefully. Could this be done easily in the machine. I might try and build my own if you guys think this thing is a rip off. i got an indoor mix of emery seeds at a buddys im ready to start experimenting with. Some one help me because i am bored stoned and ready to get growing.

That system looks like a ripoff for the $1000 you say it costs. You could build it for $500 or less, no problem. Probably far less. Look around on this board to learn how to build hydro setups and stealth grow cabs.

As for how much to expect off the grow, don't expect anything off the first one or two grows. Chances are you'll get a little, but there's also a reasonable chance that you'll mess it up while learning how to grow the plants. I figure, the lower your expectations, the less chance you have of being disappointed.

Im looking for an easy turnkey system that is affordable that i know for sure has no oder. Can anyone suggest one that i could purchase. I know they are pricey but if i got a decent yeilds i would save cash from buying from so many duck people around here charging on the high and being sketchy. Thanks for the help so far also any suggestions are always greatly appreciated.

From what I remember reading on overgrow, most people trashed alot of those turnkey systems for one reason or another. I think it was the bc bloom box ESPECIALLY. From what I gather, these "turn key systems" have flaws from wiring to light leaks. I dont know though because I didnt buy one, I built my own. Lets just say i never ran across anyone posting anything positive in regards to them.

But honestly man, if your gonna spend $1000, do a month or two research before you do anything man... For $1000... all im sayin is I could build one HELL of a cab! Definatly better than anything you can buy lol. Completely customized too and exactly how I want it.

I guess as one final thought, dont think just cuz its a "turn key" system its gonna be sit back and relax throw a couple seeds in there and in 3 mos you've got some ganja. Your gonna fuck up. Especially if your growing in a DWC hydro setup your first time. Not only do you need to learn the plant... you need to learn water changes every two weeks... ph, ec, ppm, correct ratios of nutes, etc. And honestly, the plant itself gets bigger than I think you expect. Theres no way in hell you'll get 6 plants in that cabinet w/ that setup unless they're clones in a SoG forced to flower early.

Flourescent lights aren't gonna give you very good yield. build build build!

Get a Mill's Pride C13 Cabinet from Home Depot and stick a 400W or 250W light in there. It costs $99. Drill 4 2" holes in the bottom for ventilation and one 4" hole in the top for exhaust. Also, drill one 3" hole in the bottom to run your wires. Take 2 black 2" 90-degree pvc plumbing connectors for each hole, and make a light trap. Attach these underneath the cabinet to the holes.

Stick a cheet of 3/8" or 1/2" plywood on the back for support, and hang your light and fan.

You can also get a C22 for more room.

Mill's Pride may have discontinued making the C13 and C22, but you should be able to find something. Some great places to look for cabinets which you can convert are:
-Home Depot
-Lowe's
-Wal-Mart
-Target
-Ikea (really! I've seen several cabinets from Ikea that have been converted).
-Crate and Barrel, possibly
-Any discount furniture store, really

Good luck!
