just a bit of information regarding grow cases for those of us not inclined to build our own (tool challenged as my wife would say). i purchased the led grow box from pcgrowcase.com. got it in yesterday and put it together. it is basically a plastic yard storage unit with 2 fans added. cost was over $ 600. (US). this thing is basically a piece of crap. the doors do not fit well and allow light to exit the unit and i will need to figure out a way to cut this down. so i hung the led light, turned it on, and the damn thing glows.......no sh@t! the entire box is a nice, bright red. if you can build your own do so, i priced out the components included in this plug and grow unit and it is well below $250 dollars inclusive of the cheap 120 watt chinese ufo light included. live and learn i guess but it will take a lot of work to make this unit anywhere near stealth.

Ouch that sucks. That's a lot of money to lose out on.
I had a similar issue with my own box I made... Didn't even consider the light penetrating the sides of my box.
Fortunately I rarely have anybody ever over to the house, and the box sits in an area nobody would go to, so until I can upgrade, she'll be okay.

i have that same box but it actually works very good for me. I dont have to have a lot of stealth because i have my room to myself, but I do put it in my closet and close the door when my roommates are having a party. I think its called a 'grow closet' for a reason, just put it in your closet and you have stealth

I have passion#1 growin in my LED box right now this was taken a few days ago and they are doin real good so far. I did lowryder#1 and #2 in this grow box last cycle and yielded 28g per plant for lowryder#1 and 36g for #2. I had 4 lowryder#1 and 4 lowryder#2 growin last cycle. I wish i would have got to keep all the bud for myself but i had to pay for tuition and books so i got rid of it by the oZ...hang in there bro it will work for you especially if you're tryin to pay some bills and smoke some on the side like me

Im sorry, but how do you spend $600 on something that could EASILY be built for 1/4 that?
I built mine in my basement with some 2x3's and heavy duty black plastic,I got the plastic for free but I bought a new light some fans and ducting and misc. supplys and built a cloner several dwc buckets nutes a dehumidifyer and a ton of shit that I forgot about and Im still under 600 bucks not by much but I got everything I need including a ppm meter and ph meter I guess it pays to be handy at least my wife thiks so. peace and grow on

Dude go get your money back, pay the 50 bucks for return shipping and DEMAND your money back. All you have to say nowadays is that you are a member in a very large local and online group and you will spread the word that this things are garbage unless you get your money back. Believe me you will get it back right away.
If you do not want to buyild it yourself have myself or another member on here build you a nice custom box that suits ever need that you may encounter.

i do feel badly, but at the same time i dont. you really should have done some research before you did this, these sites are predators for people who dont want to learn about things before they jump into them.
you could have made a similar setup for less than 50 bucks, or done a badass setup that would have blown it away for less than 200. dont fall into the hype next time.
