A buddy of mine bought a Bloombox Royale and decided to let me do the first grow so that he could get a general idea of what to do. Being new to grow cabinets, I decided to go all out. Now I'm at week 4 of flower, and thought I'd share what I've got so far! As far as the cost of one of these bad boys, I definitely think that I'll be purchasing one, and I figure I can offset the cost within a year.
If it's between a 1/2Z and a Z a plant every 10 weeks or 5 harvests a year in SOG mode.
And if its 400 a Z for round numbers, which I'll knock down to 300 to offset consumables (electrcity, bulbs, nutes, and gizmos)
Then 300*5*4.5 (min) = $6750 or 300*5*9 (max) = $13,500
So if the outlay is $3500 the payback is between 3 and 6 months if the assumptions are right and the demand or need for the product exists
In my experience all projects with a 1 year or under payback go forward!
Anyways, on to the pictures!
The stretch has been kind of a pain in the @ss to deal with, but I figure that it was to be expected starting from seed. Now I've got a mother plant going in the veg chamber, so the clones shouldn't get to be so tall. I threw up some chicken wire attached to suction cups up top, hopefully this will help a little bit.
