Hydroponic Grow Boxes

Want to grow marijuana indoors? Then you will want to consider a grow box or a big grow tent. This is a great page to start looking into all the different reviews we have.

Although building your own can be fun and satisfying, off the shelf grow box kits come with all the experience and expertise of the manufacturers built in. These solid and self-contained units are extremely easy to set up and operate and you know that these proven systems will be safe and effective.

There is a huge range of grow boxes available that run from small boxes no bigger than a PC to large systems that will supply all you need to run a commercial grow op.

2016-2017 Best Grow Boxes

2015-2016 Grow Boxes

Older Grow Boxes

We totally recommend the guys at Dealzer and SuperCloset for grow boxes, they offer amazing kits and excellent customer service to you guys. We only work with companies that look after you.

With such a wide range of sizes and shapes available to you, it is easy to be spoilt for choice. You know that there is definitely one that is right for you; it’s just that sometimes you can’t see the wood for the trees. When choosing the correct grow box for your needs you should consider the following:

Budget – How much can you spend on a grow box? What is the longer-term plan for your growing set-up?

Space – How much room do you have for your grow box? What strain of cannabis do you hope to grow? Big Hazes and leggy Sativas need room to stretch.

Stealth – Most of these grow boxes take stealth very seriously. Think about how secretive you need to be to choose the right grow box for your purposes.

Your Herbal Requirements – Being realistic about how much marijuana you want to grow is important when sizing your grow box. Also, consider whether you need a continuous supply or if you can wait between harvests.

Hydroponics System – Different grow boxes come with different systems. Choose between Deep Water Culture, SuperPonics or even choose a grow box that uses soil as the growing medium.

Budget

Budget is high on everyone’s list. Whilst it is possible to build your own grow box system from the constituent parts unless you know what you are doing, it is easy to surpass your budget as there are more parts involved than you might think. Also, with all that electricity and water in such close proximity to each other, the safety features of a professionally designed and built grow box should be high on your list of priorities.

Be realistic about your needs. Our experience of growing weed indoors tells us that new growers are always looking to upgrade or expand their set up. It could cost less in the long run to buy a slightly over spec unit now than to upgrade in six months’ time and end up just storing all the expensive kit you just bought.

Space

One of the most attractive features of a professionally built grow box is the efficient use of space. Anybody who has experienced building their own hydroponics setup in a cabinet or other small space will know that making the best use of that space and cramming in all the fixtures and equipment is harder than it looks.

Most grow boxes are sold as complete systems with built-in plant sites. This means that the amount of horizontal space allotted to your plants has been predetermined. However, you don’t necessarily have to be constrained by this. The space given will be ideal for Sea of Green set ups where you can fit a lot of plants side by side. If you want to experiment with Low Stress Training or Screen of Green techniques you can simply use just some of the plant sites and grow fatter, bushier plants.

The vertical space available in a grow box will tell you what size of plants you can fit in. Many grow box manufacturers will tell you how many plants you can grow in their system, but check the actual height. Whilst it is true that plants can be trained to fit smaller spaces, if you are intending on growing tall plants you will need the upwards space. Some of the smaller grow boxes are ideal for autos or shorter plants but will not accommodate taller plants like some of the leggy Hazes and other sativas.

Stealth

Stealth is something that is important to most home growers and something you will probably want to think about if you are considering buying a grow box. Most of the boxes on these pages take stealth very seriously and are packed with stealthy features to help keep your home grow op a secret. Some of the things you should think about are heat signature, noise, light leaks and energy consumption. You can find more detail about stealth grow boxes here.

Your Herbal Requirements

Each of Us Have Herbal Requirements That Are Unique to Our Own Needs

How much weed you actually require is a huge consideration when choosing a grow box. If you are just looking for a bit of personal weed for occasional personal consumption then there is no point buying a huge system like the Mortgage Lifter 3.0 which is way over spec for you. On the other hand, you also need to be realistic about your needs. If you are a medical user with daily requirements or a caregiver with patients relying on you, then you will need to buy a box that is not too small for you. There are few things as frustrating as having to buy weed when you have your own crop waiting, but not quite ready yet.

Another thing to bear in mind is the passion and excitement that comes with any interesting pastime or hobby. As is the nature of these things, you will soon be reading about, hearing about, and learning about, new techniques and methodologies to make the stuff that you produce the best that it can be. In our experience, if you scrimp too much in the first place you will be looking to upgrade before the year is out.

Another important consideration that will affect the continuity of your herbal supply is whether your grow box is equipped with one grow chamber or two.

Smaller boxes with a single grow chamber, like Grandma’s Secret Garden, mean that you have to veg and then flower your plants in the same space. Operations in this type of box normally have to rely on carrying out just one grow at a time; germinating, seedling, vegetating, flowering and then harvesting before starting over again. There is nothing wrong with this system, it just means that you will have to wait somewhere between two and four months between harvests.

If a grow box features dual grow chambers like the Super Deluxe 3.0, then you will be able to operate a Full Cycle System, whereby you have plants at all stages of growth at the same time. This way of growing allows you to prepare and start the next generation of plants whilst the current generation is still in flower, allowing you to harvest a continual supply of greenery. This dual chamber system is important if you envisage yourself having a steady and uninterrupted supply of your favorite herbs.

Hydroponics System

Hydroponic Systems are the Most Productive Way to Grow Weed

At the heart of every hydroponic grow box is its hydroponics system. Of course, not all grow boxes are about hydro. Check out the Earth Cab Series for example, which is designed especially for growers who prefer to use soil.

So to run over the basics – hydroponic systems are soil-less systems where all of the plants’ nutrient requirements are met by the grower using a nutrient rich solution which is delivered directly to the plants’ roots. Hydroponic systems are proven to be more productive than soil systems although some growers prefer soil because it is said to give a superior flavor. Some growers opt for soil for environmental reasons too. There is a wide variety of hydroponics systems. Read more about the various types of hydroponic system here.

The choice of which single hydroponics system to use is largely subjective and is a matter of personal preference. A lot of grow box kits do use the Deep Water Culture (DWC) hydroponic system. DWC is a system that suspends the plants’ roots in a highly oxygenated nutrient solution. These easy to maintain hydroponic systems are known to be effective and will reward growers with excellent yields.

One thing that is remarkable about some of the grow boxes on offer is their use of SuperPonics systems. These are systems that use two or more types of hydroponic system in tandem to achieve even greater efficiency. A good example is the Super Star grow box which uses a combination of aeroponics to deliver a mist of highly oxygenated nutrient solution to the plants’ roots from a reservoir below, and a Drip Feed to deliver a nutrient solution to the roots from above. These multiple SuperPonics systems are known to greatly increase yield and deliver some astounding results. SuperPonics could be the shape of the future for all high-performance hydroponic growth systems.
