Anyone else out there remember the Phototron?
    #23913413 - 12/10/16 03:03 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

The Phototron from mid 80s was my first grow. I had some success after some practice.

I will never forget my beloved grandmother finding the unit in the closet and she said "I don't know where you got that robot spaceship looking thing with the pot plants at... but It's gotta go"

Anyone else remember these? Wish I still had it.

it would need brighter bulbs, the ones it had really arent all that, replacing the U
bulb with CFLs would have dont a lot more for vegetative growth. hell, I may build
something the equivalent of the phototron just for trying that experiment

You could probably put together a similar box using LED lights for under $100. Sell it on Ebay for $350 and you're selling cheaper than most of the competition from what it looks like at a quick glance.

in my experience, LEDs suck for growing until you start getting into the really expensive CREE lights
