Probably away from a window to avoid temp fluctuations, also as a side note make sure it isnât too close to a wall or corner so the exhaust can flow away / not heat up too much. (like give it at least 6 inches from the wall) This is just my opinion 
And not a weird question 
Thatâs up to you and your disposable income. No I dont think itâs worth it but I am happy with my setup. I am using them for various things so I feel Iâm getting my moneys worth
I smoke about 45 to 55 g a month
You have 5 grobos? Or 5 other things?
Nah just 2 bro. Thatâs plenty for me to manage
Iâm running 2x grobos here. Their schedules are currently staggered so one sits around day 60-70 when the other gets a seed planted.
Quick personal opinion/thoughts on it are:
Pros
Cons
Havenât tried from clones. Iâve only been growing autoflowers so far, aiming for progressively better grows to get more experience with this style of growing.
I also have a small tent running which will be converted to DWC (currently soil) when this crop finishes.
Iâve been in same boat looking for a second unit. But not completely sold. Similar consumption rate as you, and the dispensary trips are adding up cost wise.
I will do 4 ten gallon fabric pot outdoor grows this year. If this is successful, there will be no need for a second Grobo.
I would wait to see how your first grow does before making decision.
I own a condo in the city and thus I dont have an outdoor option. We have an 1800 sqft loft but the misses will not tolerate a big grow tent. Looks like a second grobo is right for me. At least then I should be able to sustain my consumption. 
Happy wife, happy life they say.
You will likely find a strain or two that consistently produces a similar harvest amount. The key is ensuring both units are consistently problem free. Thatâs what screws up your grows
Would have been nicer to send me a BOGO coupon 
but thanks
@Stephen thank you for the quick turn around. In case the rest of you didnât pick up on it, in the course of this conversation I pulled the trigger and went ahead and ordered a second grobo. It arrives Thursday it appears. To those of you like @Todd.grobo @Mr.420 and @vegetato who are doing multiple units my question is this. If I want to stagger my grows, is there a sweet spot for planting plant B, like in plant Aâs transition stage or something. (assuming they have similar grow cycles of course)
Considering it takes approx three months per grow and two for autos my personal opinion would be to stagger them one month apart.
So two months out of three youll have harvest.
If you use the second grobo for autos you may get closer to three out of three.
3 to 4 months per grow plus 2 months dry time. Iâd stagger a month apart if both the same seed or photosensitive. If autos do em same time
2 months dry Time? I thought drying took a week maybe two and another week for curing
Drying takes 5 to 10 days. No one smokes it right then as itâs not cured and youâll hack like a mofo. Two months cure time minimum
Look at the labels on any recreational cannabis all them are harvested aprox 2 months before you buy it.
Ok that makes way more sense⌠but I donât consider curing as dryingâŚ

Cloning means making a copy of a cannabis plant with a cut off piece (âcuttingâ) from the parent plant. The cutting will then grow roots on its own and will grow into an almost identical plant (âcloneâ) as the mother plant. Cloning is an easy, fast, and economical way for growers to make new cannabis plants.
Whatâs special about cloning cannabis is that the clone will have the same genetics as the parent. This means that the new plant will have identical qualities and characteristics. If you take a clone from a female, you will know for sure that the new plant will be female too. If you have a favourite cannabis plant with qualities that you like, such as a great taste, good potency or yield, you can grow dozens of free copies of this plant.
Cloning cannabis means that you can preserve your best plants almost indefinitely!
Cloning cannabis involves cutting a piece of a plant and giving it the opportunity to grow [new roots] from its stem. Yet, if you do some reading around on cloning cannabis on the internet, you may find different opinions on the best way to go about it. While some cloning methods may vary, some guidelines apply to all methods. To get you started with cloning right, the first piece of important advice is to always select your best and healthiest plants for cloning. Letâs look at the required steps for cannabis cloning in more detail.

Fresh Cutting from mother plant
Reduce leaf surface as it is hard to sustain big leafs
Clonning gel apply for 2 - 3 minutes
Make a hole in medium compact soil hole must be humid when planting your clone
Ready Clone! place your new plant in stable conditions
Your clones should be placed in nice warm and wet conditions. If you donât use a humidity dome, mist your clones several times a day. The [perfect temperature] for your clones is slightly above room temperature, 22-25 °C. If you grow in cooler conditions, you can use a heating mat to keep the temperature in-check. Some commercial cloners and propagators come with an integrated heater and adjustable heat setting.
As for [the right light for your clones], they wonât require light for the first couple of days. After that period, you want to use a weak CFL bulb or special grow light for clones and seedlings to keep them growing. If you want to use your existing grow light, you may need to move it further up to decrease the lightâs intensity. Whatâs important is that you donât supply light 24 hrs a day but keep an 18/6 light schedule for your clones. The period of darkness is where most of the root growth happens.
Your clones are ready [to be transplanted ]when you see roots coming out the Rockwool or starter cubes.
Remember that your new clones donât have [roots], they need moist and misty conditions. Frequently mist to keep their leaves moist especially in the first week. Watch out for [mould ]growth. If the clones are under a humidity dome, lift the top several times a day to prevent mould from growing.
Not a requirement, but it can help your cloneâs growth when you spray them with a mild nutrient solution.
Make sure to never contaminate your rooting gel or cloning powder. The slightest dust or dirt in the jar can spoil your cloning efforts. Never dip the clones directly in the jar with the gel or powder. Always take the required amount of gel or powder and put it into an external tray. Dip the clones in there. Store cloning gels and powders in a dark and cool place.

When you clone a cannabis plant, the clone will always be the same age and at the same growing stage as the parent. One of the best times to take clones is just before you flower the mother plant.
Donât hesitate to grow more clones than you think you will need. Not all clones will always turn out a success, especially if youâre still new to cloning. It can be a good idea if you grow more just in case you should lose some.
Be patient. Most clones should start rooting in several days, but some can take several weeks until they grow roots.
You can keep desired[ mother plants for your clones] in the vegetating phase for a long time. If you prevent them from flowering by keeping them under a vegging 18/6 light schedule, you can have mother plants that will give you clones for several years!
With our marijuana cloning guide, making clones from your favourite cannabis plants should be easy.
Looks good. Good luck.
