Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when choosing an all-in-one automated hydroponics grow cabinet?
First narrow down your selection by only dealing with companies that:
A. Offer you more than a 1 year warranty
B. EVERY system has PROPERLY and professionally air-cooled lights (if even one of their systems do not, watch out. Also beware of any company that offers 1000 Watts in their units. This is another red flag. 600's work much better, run MUCH cooler, and use much less energy. They sell them because it sounds good and is actually cheaper than 600's)
C. offer more than just drip/aeroponic watering system. Supercloset recommends ebb'n'flow though our smaller units use a special safe drip/bubble feed system. Drip and aero type systems must be maintained much more, cleaned to prevent clogging, and PH and TDS just right since roots are hanging directly in the water.
D. Are PROFESSIONAL and sell PROFESSIONAL systems. Make sure they really know what they are doing and selling. Basically, there are companies out there who seem they have no idea what they are doing and seem have never tested their products. Look at details and choose wisely. Feel free to call or email us with any questions.
How many plants can I grow?
You decide. We recommend 11 in the Deluxe and 22 in the S2S or B2B. But if you want you can use smaller cubes and grow 24 in the Deluxe and 48 in the S2s or B2B. And switch to soil as well!Everything is explained in our free Grow DVD and easy to follow instruction manual.
What can I expect to produce and yield?
It depends on type of plant and strain. Many companies offer misleading statistics. The bottom line is that Supercloset guarantees you grow MORE with much better QUALITY (no mold or mildew), due to the cabinet being bigger (ours is 24inches deep versus their 18 inches deep yields an entire 9 more cubic feet of growing space) also by growing with 3x the air flow (an experienced grower will tell you “proper air-flow is everything”), an internal circulation fan, a trellis to support and tie down your plants that can help produce up to 50% more, the ability to have more plants, and better lights than any other system that come with a 3 year warranty.
What else are the main differences between the Supercloset and other systems on the market?
In addition to all those mentioned, a major difference is in the watering. Most other systems uses an NFT or aeroponic combination type set-up, whereas we strongly recommend using the ebb and flow method. We offer the NFT/bubble system in our smaller units, but when growing plants either bigger than 1 ½ ft or longer than 6 weeks, many times plants start to develop root rot, and overcrowding/tangling of roots. This is why companies only show their system with the beginning stages of root growth. It doesn’t stay white like that long unless you are an experienced pro. Another reason ebb and flow works better is that NFT/air type systems there is a much higher risk due to say an electrical outage, ph unbalanced in water, or wrong nutrient mix. Since the roots are literally hanging in the water they can die instantly within hours. They are much more sensitive and time and time again you hear someone say that everything was going great until… With ebb and flow you can grow hydro or soil with thicker, bigger, and stronger plants, with much less risks.
Any others?
Among those many others including all the accessories is the appearance. Our Supercloset is designed so that the controls are all on the back versus the front like some others. We feel the whole point of a nice looking high-end cabinet is to leave it like that, nice and clean.
How safe is the Supercloset?
We make it a point to keep your growing experience safe and enjoyable. That is why everything is automated and we include a GFCI electrical plug, so that there is no way for shock or even damage due to electrical shortage, and troubling weather like lightning, etc.
How long will it take to receive the Supercloset after ordering?
Approximately 5-10 business days depending on your zipcode. Place your order Tuesday to ship that Friday. It comes all in one nice actual storage/entertainment/ office cabinet, in a safe and secure packaging to your door.
What colors are available?
Black is standard. Other colors are offered at a higher price and take a little longer to ship.
How easy is it to set up and operate?
Very easy. Supercloset comes assembled and is self auto-mated with timers and pumps. The system is made for complete beginners to get professional results. Probably 90% of our customers are first time growers.
How much electricity does it consume?
Minimal. It can be plugged in any outlet in your home or apartment (~6 amps) and does not spike your electricity bill (~$25 more per month)
How often do I change the water?
You should change the water and nutrients every 7-10 days. Keep reservoir filled with normal tap water. You can actually leave your Supercloset for up to 3 days without doing one thing.
Does it really come with everything, even nutrients?
Yes. Plus hundreds off dollars of accessories we throw in for you as well. Customer satisfaction is our number one priority.
What about CO2?
Though it is offered and can produce better results, Supercloset is the only system that does not need CO2. The reason? Again, because most systems have poor airflow system with no circulation fan, plants stuck in the corners of those systems do not receive any air.
What about sound and odor?
Our new upgraded professional carbon filter (not homemade) muffles the sound from the fan, and takes away all smells. Since our overall airflow is about 3x stronger than other systems, ALL the air is being pushed out of the filter, and is not leaking out elsewhere.
How is the temperature inside the unit?
Supercloset runs very cool due to its air-cooled lighting, strong output fan and internal circulation fan.
How long does it take to harvest?
It depends on what you are growing. All plants are different and even every species vary greatly as well. You will get the absolute fastest most efficient results, due to our better light spectrum and airflow. Most all plants reach desired results around 2 months
Is the Supercloset under warranty?
All components are under warranty for at least 1 up to 5 years.
Do you provide technical support?
Yes, you get free lifetime support virtually 7 days a week. Email is the best way to get the most complete answers.
Can I grow with soil?
Yes, a popular feature to Supercloset is the ability to switch up from hydroponics to soil at anytime. We recommend everyone try out all-natural organic soil now and then.
What is the net trellis for?
This is to tie down and support your plants to get the maximum yield. This is very essential when growing plants over 2 feet tall. Tied down and supported correctly you can produce up to 50% more.
