I'm very curious because I'm hesitant to plunk down this kind of money for such a unit if it's inherently flawed in its growing techinque through no fault of the grower.

Again, I do hope that your next grow is a great one. This thread has been so helpful for me in making up my mind on what I want to buy, and also when I do get it, I'll be referring back to this thread often

Sabrinaleena,

Well at this point I am leaning towards Hardon's theory that the neem was the start of my root problems. If you go back and read this log from the begining it seems likely that this is correct.

I have seen amazing results with one of these boxes over a period of three different grows, so I know that the box is not inherently flawed. Probably not bad luck either. If Hardon is correct, it seems that I followed a bad piece of advice from a Grow FAQ (not on this board) that told me to use neem as a prevetive measure to keep pest away.

I would like to get more peoples opinions on neem to see if they have experienced simmilar problems.

In short, don't let my newbie problems discourage you from getting a truely amazing grow setup. I am very happy with the box, I just made some bad decisions along the way. But all in all, I am learning.
