All in 1 pre built grow cabinets like Hey Abby or Vgrow smart box?

Hey all,

Curious if any of you have experience with any of the pre built grow cabinets out there. I've really only seen 3:


Hey abby Grow Box 420 SE (Samsung LED Edition​

Vivosun - VGrow Smart Grow Box is Vivosun’s innovative all-in-one indoor grow system. Users can grow plants and vegetables easily and automatically through intelligent control and professional grow recipes.
And Gorilla Grow boxes which are way too expensive

I like the Hey Abby and Vivosun for their discreet look but just wish they were a little wider so they could house more than 1 plant. I'm looking for something that could fit 2. I saw a bunch of tent kits but I'd really prefer something a little sturdier. I know I could DIY it, but I'm really looking at the kits and something quiet and discreet. Anyone with any experience with these?

Hello oaktree it's good to see you friend. I don't like the prices on those above because you can do much better with a lot less money. I think you would do better with a 6x6 since you grow big plants. Anyway keep us posted.

I'm really only looking for a box that can grow two plants in the fall/winter time. I was also looking at a 3x3 tent which would be the biggest I can go, but I'm only looking for a space to grow 2 plants. 4x4 or 6x6 is just too big.

I just want something small and discreet to put in the corner of a room. Space is limited and I also want to keep the smell contained.

In that case the best solution ist to get an ikea cupboard or something similiar and diy a grow inside.
It is some effort to build but looks 99 % like an ordinary cupboard.
For sure, but I'm specifically looking for an all in one kit. I went to my local shop and tent was 3x3x6 tent was 199, and the light was like 280, then fans, carbon filter, inline fane ect was going to be way more. I know I can part things out for cheaper online but gain, I was looking for a one stop shop all in 1 kit.

This tent set up is 450 for everything including carbon filter, fans, ect:

I was hoping someone might have had some experience with one of those cabs but not looking like it. I saw a bunch of youtube reviews/videos but you never get the full story of the grow and yield. Most say they did not pull 6-8 ozs like the site suggests.

The first kit is 1 (!) sq ft. The second kit doesn't say how large it is (and is very expensive)

Is that what you want?

Alright, after some internet research I pulled the trigger on the Vgrow box. I really wanted the 2x3 tent but I needed something more discreet. I might DIY a bigger cabinet in the future, but for now 1 indoor plant at a time is fine. I'm going to do an outdoor grow over the summer so this is just to tide me over and have some fun. I'll post a grow diary for anyone interested. Thanks for all who chimed in.

I think a lot of people would like to see a diary. These grow boxes have been around since the Phototron back in the 70's and most growers are skeptical about the claims that are made buy the companies who make them.

I am a fan of Vivosun and I looked at this box when it first came out. It would not serve my needs as I usually have 10 to 50 plants growing but I would love to see how this Vgrow box performs.

Also, when I just now went to the web site I got a pop-up for 10% off for registering with them. Are you getting a discount? If not, DM the Vivosun rep here at ICMag and I'm pretty sure they will give you a discount code. Maybe more than 10%.

Anyway, good luck and let us know how it goes.

Peace

I got a 20% discount so in total it cost me 480. I know it's not a great "deal" but for my purposes it works. I'll post some photos when I get it. I think I'm going to grow some Soma Sopurple as my first grow-round.
