Mini Caddy grow box good?

[bctoker]

I am renting a small place right now and want to do a cabinet grow until next year when I move into a bigger house. I was thinking about buying a full size 6 foot tall cabinet and modifying it but an aquaintence is selling a mini caddy grow box http://www.sunlightsheds.com/mini-caddy.htm for about 30% of what they go for new and he only use it for 2 months.

Does anyone think it is possible to produce a decent yield in this thing? (6-8 oz) or should I just spend the same amount of money and make my own? Any reviews would be helpfull, thanks.

you can get larger yeilds from spending less cash then that system

you could build your own cab way cheaper. here is a link to just about anyting you would want to construct

I personally never liked sunlight sheds. I have heard that the customer support they offer is really bad and the build quality of the product is very low. I would agree with the other response that building your own is definitely the best idea. However if you have it in your mind that you want to go with pre-built grow box I've heard nothing but good things about homegrown hydroponics at http://www.homegrown-hydroponics.com. but seriously though you can go to Home Depot and buy a cabinet for like $90 and get a light and timers to build a hydroponic system all pretty much right there the the hardware store. Building your own is pretty fun...

I'm just wondering since I can buy this thing for 400 bucks from a buddy who never finished a grow in it. It will probably cost me a couple hundred more to get a whole c-13 type cab setup. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried one or if anyone thinks a decent yield is possible with this thing?

For $400, as opposed to $1400, yeah its probably not a terrible deal. The one issue I read about a lot on these pre-built boxes is ventillation issues, so maybe be prepared to add more intake holes and a circulating fan or two. But yeah, I don't see why you couldn't get decent yields out of it. No way could you piece it together for $400, either.
