Hello GC, I started off by asking for suggestions in various forums, and after about a week of looking at various options, I took the plunge and bought myself a Yielder Max from Cabinet Grow. In summary of my past thread: I am a first-time grower, looking to grow enough to handle the needs of myself and my grandma as we are legal 215 patients in the state of California. I'm good with numbers, and computers, but quite honestly I'm not the DIY type. Many people suggest going the DIY route to save money, but just about everyone has a long list of mistakes, changes, upgrades, and tweaks to their first grow until they get the hang of it. I want to avoid as much of that learning curve as possible. After crunching some numbers with the help of several companies (I looked at Closet Grow, SuperCloset, and BC Northern Lights.) I finally settled onto this grow box. http://www.cabinetgrow.com/yielder-max-soil-led/ I ordered my unit this week, and it should be done by Friday! Although I probably wont be able to pick it up until sometime next week. Along with the actual plants in this thread, I'm going to be doing an in-depth analysis of money we save (Hopefully!!!) by growing our own instead of plopping down cash at the local dispensary! I have a kill-a-watt unit to use to measure electricity, and I have already started a spreadsheet of all the associated hidden costs that are sure to pop up here and there! So as of today: -1834.92 (Cabinet & Tax) I have a friend who grows who will be supplying me with clones to populate this bad boy! I believe he said the strain is Ice. I'll get more details from him when I can. Anyways, I don't have any real information yet, so I'll just say I welcome any and all criticism, input, or advice! Grandma who will be tending to the plants on the day-to-day basis should chime in too if I can get her to!
Smh..... you could have saved like $800 man. Those grow boxes are a joke. Have a cool blade on here that got one and couldn't even fit two autos in it. Lol. He got a tent and now loves it.

What a rip off you could buy a tent that does the same thing for way less lol and that led is a pos ..
Welcome and not everyone has the ideal situation for a tent or using an entire closet. That's why I got something similar, check out the journal. Trying to make lemonade out of lemons sucks bro, just let us know if you need a hand squeezing them bastards and can't wait to see it running.
I got my cabinet in today! Got it all setup and waiting for my buddy to bring me clones. Honestly, based on the price and what I got... So far I am happy. I could save by going DIY, but I have heard horror stories of people trying and tweaking for harvest after harvest getting their setup right... I just paid a bit more to skip some of that curve hopefully. We will see if it pays off in the end! Anyways, here are the pics!
Congrats man, looks good! I'm finally getting my cabinet tuned in, your biggest obstacle might be temperature control. Can't wait to see it in action, any ideas on what clones your getting?
I'll have to ask my buddy with the clones the exact details.. He told me, I was just probably too stoned to remember.
And here they are! Got them into the cabinet last night! They are a little droopy from the move from my friends house to mine. Cant wait to see them pop up a bit! Planning on transplanting them into the white bags that came with my cabinet on Monday!
That's definitely a nice setup. What are the dimensions of the grow box? Both outside, and the inside space you have to grow?
I'll get the dimensions to you when I find a tape measure, but essentially it is a 2x2 cabinet with 2 chambers, so 4x4 total grow space. http://www.cabinetgrow.com/yielder-max-soil-led/ Anyways, time for updates! The girls are doing great! Only giving them water for now, no nutrients yet. They are in the Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil that came with the cabinet. I picked the 4 winners and transplanted them into the bigger buckets today!
