Homemade Hydroponics Vs Buying A Professional Grow Box
Although one can build their own hydroponic system by purchasing a few parts and putting it together, it is important to note that grow boxes are very complex and need a building procedure that works like a cake. What I mean is that anyone can put a cake together, but unless the recipe is followed perfectly, it won't come out the same or produce the same results. Although a cake is a very simple example, grow boxes are much more complex. The grow boxes sold by companies like Dealzer Hydroponics are built by specialists who have been in the hydroponic business for many years. In essence, what this means is that the "cake" is baked by a professional cook (for example). Although a cake is a simple example, I can use others examples as buying a car vs building your own, a home, a motorcycle, ect...
So here's the deal. Hydroponic systems are ecosystems that have the perfect combination of effects, if built possibly, for maximum yield and minimum problamatic events. The fans, timers, ballast, lights, and type of materials used are all working together to give you the perfect growing experience. If the recipe is not done correctly, one may have problems with overheating grow boxes, exess power usage, low yields, burnt plants (from the lights source), and/or even a complete piece of junk. It is much safer to buy a professionaly built grow box from a valued hydroponic system provider to avoid all these problems, and even save you from wasting time and/or money.
What do we recommend? We recommend buying a grow box from a well known grow box provider and not wasting any time trying to build your own. Many posts online will teach you on how to build your own hydroponic system, but won't tell you what problems you may encounter along the way. And if your worried about dishing out a few grand on a professional grow system, keep in mind - you are more than likely to make your money back by growing your own herbs and vegetables with the high speed, monthly harvests.
Final recommendation in buying a grow box:
1. Don't take a risk in building your own unless you are a veteran of the hydroponic system industry.
2. Call a professional company who knows what they are doing and ask for a recommendation. Tell them what you are looking to achieve, and what your budget is.
3. Obtain your grow box. Call tech support for some initial training, and begin your growing process.
4. You may also want to calculate how much money you have saved from harvesting your own plants. Remember, the grow boxes always end up paying for themselves.
