i just bough hydro gaurd, im spending so much cash, i bought this machine to save me money cus the shops here are a bit pricy but if ima gonna be spending all this money for a plant that may not make it, i think i may return my machine, it just seems a lot of info was left out of the advertisements and the vids they make, the grobo in my opinion isnt worth 2100
Itās only money homie 
. Enjoy the process 
. Youāre learning to grow and you have a very capable machine and team backing you providing expertise that would take YEARS for you to obtain on your own. Not to mention a whole squad of avid grobo growers here on AG ready to help you as much as we are able at the drop of a hat. There is immense value in the Grobo, you just donāt see it yet.

I get itās only money but in todayās world we need money to survive Iām not rich enough to say eh who cares itās only money, I got shit to pay, and got eat and stuff, I donāt make much either so I canāt just say fuck it, and I understand there is many people here to help, but if a 2100 dollar machine is requiring me to go and buy more stuff to make it work correctly and I need to keep my house certain temps for the environment of the plant then it really isnāt worth that much money then, itās an amazing ideas and concept but this machine shouldāve had some more things worked out before being sold to people, especially they made it seem like all u gotta worry about is trimming the plant and stuff not all these other factors you know, I see the value but dude Iām spending all this cash and the plant can either fail or give me 2 and maybe if Iām lucky three ounces in 4 months, plus then you gotta cure and dry it so like a 5 month procedure all for 2-3 ounces and all together I prolly spent like 2,500 for seeds, the machine, extra pack of nutrients, now people recommend buying other stuff to modify it

Just curious, but did you do ANY research in this forum before buying? Not trying to be a dick, iām just direct. There are a MULTITUDE of discussions about all the issues with Grobo here. Those of us that still have it, we work through the issues, and some of us bought it knowing the issues. If you want to save money, a tent is the way to go. This is more of an intro to growing than a āsave me tons of moneyā operation. 3 oz tops every 4 months doesnāt save me money and I only smoke to sleep, thatās it. Itās more the hobby and the techie side of it. Growing some ganja is just a plus. iāve already set up a small tent before finishing my first grow with all the knowledge iāve gained in this forum. You can ask anyone on this forum and theyāll agree, Groboās marketing is A LIE. It isnāt set and forget and we all know it. I can promise you, even if it was āset and forgetā, without any sort of lst or hst you would not get 3 oz, and even 2 is doubtful. If youāre looking for a set and forget weed grow thatās gonna save moneyā¦it doesnāt existā¦yet!
If it does and you can find it, please let us all knowā¦iām sure almost all of us would be interested

Dude why would I think to read a forum when Iām watching the man who made it himself say all this great stuff about it, if itās really a lie then heās a con artist who just scammed many people, I expected what was advertised is what Iāll get, if heās lying then there needs to be consequences, also no this is suppose to save you money and be for people who donāt have the area to use a tent and shit, this is suppose to be a self automated grobox that you plant the seed and let the machine do the rest, just change the water and trim here and there and thatās it, if he lied then I want my money back also ur not being a dick, I want people to be straight forward with shit, and he tells people all the time on the YouTube comments you can get up to three ounces heās a liar then, heās just a business man then false advertising ripping people off business man
Completely understandable brother, I was kidding with you. On their site in the FAQs they do recommend Hydroguard and they do provide the environment needed for the Grobo to succeed in growing you a beautiful plant. I really think you are doing well, once you get through this first grow you will have a better understanding of how the process works in general a much calmer/confident approach as you will be armed with plenty of information, experience, and continued help from us. Check the images below for reference.

Itās not a contained unit then itās not fully self automated either, Iām very upset that I had to learn this from people who had to experience it all cus of false advertising
i got mine in June/July of this year, knowing exactly what I was in for. There are people who have had to replace quite a few parts from the earliest version who still use their Grobos. itās a newer company, still growing with the pains of business.

It came out like 5 years ago the grobo, it shouldāve had some major updates to it, in 5 years it still has this many issues, to me that shows that they arenāt really caring to be on top of it
At the end of the day tho it is what it is I guess, ima rock with it, see how this plant goes and if this one fails like the other then ima ask if I can refund it, I really hope it doesnāt come down to that cus Iām really trying to give it the benefit of the doubt but everyone I do that a new issue arises

Weāve all ābeen there, done that, got the t-shirtā so to speak. if you search some of my activity, iām guilty and itās recent. i think you expected more than what you got but without researching, itās kinda on youā¦again, not trying to be a dick. Support has got your back, so do the people on the forum. Deep breath, weāll get you through the first grow and youāll be a better person for it. I BET, before the end of your first grow you will already be looking at a tent setup that follows the same DWC principle

Iām also guilty of all of the above . After much consideration I have opted to stick with the box as it does suit my personal needs as a hobbyist.
