Anyone out there have this system? Offers 50 HSP bulb for two plants, could this even possibly work?

Never heardof it. 50 HPS doesn't sound like much.

are you talking about grow box built out of computer box?

[Ms.W]

Yes, the system manufactured by Sunlight Sheds. Interior deminsions are 17.5"x 7 3/4" wide, and 19'' high. They provide a 2 pot hydo system and instruct to go w/24 hour light until plants reach 3-4" and then start to induce flowering with 12/12 lighting.The idea is to use the sea of green concept on a very small scale and run the system in 35-40 day cycles. They claim that the system can produce a pound on "plant matter" annually. Hard to imagine.

It's a cute thing for the grower that has everything..save your money, do some research, and then invest wisely...this is an expensive undertaking and you best make a solid plan ahead of time. goodluck

Speed (and yield) is just a question of money.

How fast do you want to go?

50 watts aint much, but for a reall small space, and not much weed, it may just work. I like 600 watts.

[Ms.W]

Quick is good (for now); liked the idea of a 35 day flowering but concerned that the result will be so small it won't seem worth the effort.

Any idea of what I may be looking at in terms of yeild per plant? The two plants will have to be less than 20" or so tall (can bend tops a bit). I would be satisfied w/a half oz. per plant (or even a bit less than that).

I already have the system and cannot get straight answers from the company in regard to anything - customer service is horrible. I am considering returning the thing and putting together my own system (feeling more confident after browsing all the great hydro info. on the board).

Thanks for all the input, you guys are great!

I've seen the website. http://sunlightsheds.com/pc_planter.htm
Very cute and neat. But I couldn't imagine it getting a yield beyond 1/4 to 1/2 an ounce.
Probably good for those who don't smoke much or often and like to have a stealth hobby grow.
35 day harvest! I'd like to see that!

No way to harvest in 35 day. Return it and make a better plan like latewood said. It takes 56 days for 8 weeks, most strains take that long or longer. The only way to cut time is c02. You must have a closet or somewhere you can put a setup. I have a 4 x 6 in my shed and only use half of it for 12 plants and 1000HPS. I'm trying sea of green, so 6 a month. I'm trying to get at least 6 oz's a month. Getting the veg and rooting times down can be hard at first. I veg and root under fluro's. I can show you a place to get the small 6 plant drip hydro for 40 bucks. With a 400 Hps I got 4 oz's in 8 weeks flowering. Even some of the grow cabinets are much better.

Send it back and look at innerlights setup when he gets pic's .For 400 you can't go wrong.
