Perfect for Home Grows - Setting Up the Vivosun - VGrow Smart Grow Box

[@dandennison1395]

So far , so good . Nice design ,has it all 😮 now lets get GROWIN 👍

[@mydankdog]

Haha, yes mate, I am starting with germinating Blackberry Moon Rocks today. Stay tuned!

[@AutoGrowers]

We have a Vivosun 4'X8' Tent in our grow room. 5 Stars. Just purchase a 4X4 for my Son, in northern Minnesota. Great product. Appreciate you and MyDankDog channel.

[@mydankdog]

Thanks mate, this is my first Vivosun product. That's cool to hear. It's very well built. It's also very different to any other grow tents I've had. Perfect for small spaces. I'm looking forward to seeing the results. I'll be germinating Blackberry Moon Rocks auto this week and getting her started in this VGrow.

[@hiroyopoetker]

wow! very spectacular array of nifty gadgets to cultivate some goodies! The stealthy sleek design is smooth!

[@mydankdog]

Yeah it's impressive how much has been considered with this VGrow Smart Grow Box. It looks very cool, it doesn't look like a grow tent at all.

[@michaelpaulson851]

Very Nice! I might be able to sneak this into the house! I can't wait to watch your Blackberry Moonrocks grow!!!

[@mydankdog]

Hahaha... hide it behind the curtains!

[@tylermac2708]

Can’t wait to see the results!

[@mydankdog]

Yeah me too, I'm going to start germinating the Blackberry Moon Rocks bean today. So hopefully I'll have the grow started in about a week.

[@rubberknees]

Just got mine started too! It is quiet and so far so good!

[@mydankdog]

Nice mate. Yeah it's very quiet. What are you growing in yours?

[@rubberknees]

Ethos: Mandarin Sunset. The unit was default set at 100% for seedlings, which was too harsh, she is going slowly after I turned it down to 60%. No stretching, I think she is stunted. I am expecting some Banana Butter Cup x Grape Rock Candy from Square One genetics tomorrow, maybe I will have to pop one if the Ethos does not work out.😉 Great video,I look forward to the rest as I try to keep up!

[@mydankdog]

@@rubberknees thanks mate, sounds awesome. Nothing ever goes to plan with these grows, so don't worry mate, you'll work it out.

[@dutchgrower2971]

very nice for the small home growmies, very exited how its going to work, thanks for sharing, happy day bro

[@mydankdog]

Yeah buddy! It's perfect for an office or a condo. Or just a stealthy grow. Thanks for tuning in mate!

[@haydenkelliher2859]

My wifey wants one of these :) will be perfect for a little grow

[@mydankdog]

Haha, my missus, thinks it's very cool too. I'm starting the Blackberry moon Rocks in it within the next week or so. It's pretty cool that the grow will be set up next to my TV in the living room.

[@dankydave]

A bit pricey but what a nice little bit of kit for personal use, will pay for itself down the line. What wattage is the light?

[@mydankdog]

It's different, and it's pretty cool. Good for stealthy grows and a space saver. The light specs are, 100W full spectrum light, Samsung LM301H EVO with adjustable dynamic spectrum for each stage of plant growth. I think the light spectrum is attached to the smart app, I'll have to find out more as I do my homework. Everything will become more apparent for us all, as I start to grow in it.

[@RonaldRegain]

Wait Vivosun developed an app to control lights. I know Vivosun was knows for cheap good tents. Exciting to see they try to sell higher class stuff too. Pleasee review the App, what it can control and if their controller supports lights from other brands. Sad ACInf is only controller which is app supported and can control lights from other brands too.

[@mydankdog]

@@RonaldRegain It's a very well made Smart Grow Box and app. I've never owned a Vivosun grow tent before, this one is very good quality. The app controls the whole VGrow environment, not just the lights. It's an in depth app. I'll be reviewing it as I grow the plant.

[@AutoGrowers]

@dankydave Our Vivosun setup paid for itself in just one grow! So much so, we have a reminder on the phone, set for every other Saturday, the amount of money we have saved by not needing to go elsewhere. 😀

[@fn1t775]

Wow this is a very cool tent I'm looking forward to the new issue with growing plants in it !

[@mydankdog]

I am germinating Blackberry Moonrocks today, stay tuned. I'm looking forward to the grow too.

[@juliandando9464]

so cool can't wait to see the results

[@mydankdog]

Yeah me too, thanks for watching, I appreciate it.

[@GrowKeks]

Hey you always make such amazing videos and your ladies are incredibly beautiful. One can only learn from you, it's so much fun to watch you. Your new box looks like a fridge grow. Liebe grüße aus Deutschland mein lieber!

[@mydankdog]

Thank you, hello back, from Canada. Thanks, I'm glad you like the content. It really could pass as a mini fridge, you're right. It's a very stealthy option, you could place it out in plain sight and it will blend in. I'm interested to see what the results are like. Stay tuned, thanks for watching mate!

[@JesusMedrano12]

Nice to see a review on this! Was planning on purchasing when first was released. Looked a bit short for my liking tho. Hope it works out well for you! Cheers! 😙👌🏼💨

[@mydankdog]

Yeah, I guess you'll be able to see via my first grow. I'd say the top lid saves space by not having hanging lights and a traditional inline fan tubing. It's very hard to compare this to a traditional tent. It's something else. It would be very cool if a traditional large tent had some of these feature. Maybe that's the route forward in some cases. But for a person with very little space, or someone wanting to be discreet, or a beginner, this is a cool idea.

[@CertifiedOldguy]

Sweet bro..I would love to have one of those...

[@mydankdog]

I'm looking forward to trying it out. Space Age....

[@Jordan-dr9hq]

Cool idea and good review! But not having the ability to lower the lights seems like a problem. Or can it be lowered?

[@mydankdog]

The lights can't be lowered but the intensity can pumped higher and lower. I haven't grown in it yet, I'll be starting a Blackberry Moon Rocks auto in a week. So we will see how it performs.

[@mikebenit3388]

How well does the carbon filter work??

[@mydankdog]

A few people are asking the same question mate. It's too early for me to comment. The plant is still a seedling and has no odour. Give it a few more weeks and I'll make it part of the video episode.

[@JaSon-wc4pn]

So do you pierce the felt bag to run the laces throught To reach the resoviors.

[@mydankdog]

I haven't set it up yet, but no. The laces will become wet and wick up the water from the water well. The bottom of the fabric pot will be placed on top of those 'wet laces' and the liquid will be absorbed through the bottom of the fabric pot. It's similar to bottom feeding through a fabric pot when you pour liquid into a tray that a fabric pot sits in and absorbs.

[@MrEiht]

I ordered two tents from them. One for baby plants, one for serious stuff. Just the tents. They were the only company which had the specific size I needed. But to be honest I would have loved something a bit more "heavy". The small one has wicked light leaks, which is not really an issue. And we ignore the minimal leaks on the bigger one. For now.

[@mydankdog]

Hey mate. This VGrow is not like a traditional tent, so I can't really compare it to another tent. The base is the watering system, so it has a good sturdy foundation. The top smart cover is an air circulation, carbon filter, LED, touch screen. So the whole smart box is different. It has zero light leaks and combines a very thick faux leather outer with a zip opening and a magnetic window. It's very different to a traditional grow tent.

[@battlemorph]

@@MrEiht Can you do a grow in it with only 3 solo cups and see how you can get a small number of massive colas, please?

[@mydankdog]

Yeah maybe after I try the water wicking system. I want to try and get a decent sized grow in here first. The tent is probably very good for cup challenges though.

[@MrEiht]

@battlemorph I grew massive plants in solo cups. But my tent is filled with a well trained plant, tomorrow on 12/12. If you consider how small Rockwood systems can be, a solo cup is no issue, just lots of work. Or an irrigation system. For me not possible because I harvest perpetually. I hope ;)

[@MrEiht]

@@mydankdog sure, sir. I have no doubts that a plant will be happy in there, if tamed properly. And I am happy about my tents, perfectly fine. The minimal light leaks I mentioned won't be that harmful. Nothing against them, I was a bit to sarcastic

[@Renazao]

Nice and handy I have a rig just like from a different brand I only grow hydroponic and I get to grow up to 3 plants in that space😂

[@mydankdog]

Very nice! That's good to hear mate. I know that my last few autos would have fit nicely in this space, so I'm sure I can get a good grow on the go.

[@CertifiedOldguy]

Do you think you need to get a fan for circulation

[@mydankdog]

It has air circulation built in. It comes from the Smart Cover and the support poles. So the whole grow has air circulation built around it. But, if you want, you can add another fan as a Smart add on.

[@CertifiedOldguy]

@@mydankdog that thing is awesome 💯😎

[@mydankdog]

It's got a lot packed in to it.

[@eastcoastgrower420]

That Vgrow looks like it has alot more thought put into it compared to other AIO grow boxes. Nice to see them include all those little extras that people don't think about when it comes to growing. One question though, I like that green light that it puts off in the background, but are they able to be shut off for a more stealthy grow?

[@mydankdog]

Mate your Global Grow Cup submission is absolutely fantastic! She looks amazing, really nice job! The green light on the touch screen turns off. The green light in background is mine, it's an LED I added to make it look cool with the lights off. Otherwise I'd be filming a dark room.... haha. Let's get back on to your Global Grow Cup, did you make the stand for the cup? Did I mention how awesome she is?

[@eastcoastgrower420]

@mydankdog Thanks, Brother, for the kind words. I really appreciate that 🙏. The stand is actually a beer can ,bbq chicken stand that I had found at the dollar store. I just needed to find something that served 2 purposes. #1. Make it easier to film and #2. Give the cup more stability, and because of the auto watering system, it needed it to be move level for better water dispersion. But back to the green background lighting, awesome touch. It actually looks like something that was actually incorporated into the box . The color matched perfectly 👌

[@mydankdog]

@@eastcoastgrower420 Genius idea on your behalf mate. haha... thanks It's $9.99 from Walmart or Amazon. It has a USB connection and can change the colour with a remote. I plugged one into the back of the TV and one into the wall with an adapter.

[@battlemorph]

Will you be using silica too, or only the supplied notes?

[@mydankdog]

Good question. Yes, I'll probably add some stuff into the mix. I've never had a grow that hasn't needed something extra or presented a new problem. So I'll cross some of those bridges as the plant starts to grow. Every plant is different and it's tough to say what she'll need.

[@battlemorph]

@@mydankdog From what I've seen online, it's going to soon become a 'must have'.

[@mydankdog]

@@battlemorph It's cool, very different to a traditional tent. I'm going to set up the grow this week.

[@battlemorph]

@@mydankdog I meant silica, but 👍🙂

[@mydankdog]

@@battlemorph haha..I have some... I picked it up last week.

[@Liberta_BR]

Hey mr Flowers..That´s a great gift from vivosun. do you work with digital art/design and/or have a 3d printer by any chance?

[@mydankdog]

Hey mate thanks, yes the VGrow is a very nice piece of kit. I can't wait to get the Blackberry Moon Rocks growing in it. No I do not have a 3D printer, but I have considered it. I do work with digital art/design.

[@Liberta_BR]

@@mydankdog cool..i just had a feeling you'd come out with nice useful prints for the grow

[@kylerbutler8009]

Been dying to try one of these boxes out so I can post videos about it and make my grow channel but sadly I can’t afford it with my new born

[@mydankdog]

Congrats on the new born mate! Yeah I'd never be able to make these videos if I had a new born either. Both take a lot of time and attention. Maybe in the future, you never know. I have a 15% code: mydankdog that probably doesn't help much. But if down the line when you have more time etc. Congrats again mate!

THANKS!

[@CryptanalystDigitalSolutions]

Vivosun has always come off as a low tier/affordable alternative to brands like Mars Hydro and SpiderFarmer. Looks like they've been stepping up their game some.

[@mydankdog]

It's a nice build. I think it's also just a very different approach. Something unlike the traditional grow tents.

[@sergado9439]

too small

[@mydankdog]

Mate I've grown in a solo cup......hahah... challenge accepted. I'm pretty sure it'll handle a decent sized plant, especially with some LST or topping.

[@sergado9439]

@mydankdog iam sure you can buddy. But it's legal now in germany so I need space 😄😄😄 topping and LST and i am good to go. 400gram per plant 🤝🏼✌🏼

[@jasonrees8177]

£700 .wot a waste of money for one plant????

[@MasterKrakenFr]

Money youtube,easy money😂

[@mydankdog]

I'll be growing more than one plant in it over time. But to put that into perspective. When I started growing, I bought one small tent. Then I bought another small tent...... I bought blurple lights, then I bought full spectrum lights. I bought an inline fan and carbon filter, plus regular fans. I bought pots, nutes, wire, blah, blah, blah. I don't use those original tents or lights anymore. I actually didn't really know what I needed or have much help getting started. But if I add up the cost of my first set ups. There's not much difference. But I did waste money not knowing what I really needed when I first started growing. There was a ton of fun in exploring all of those things and building it up myself. Not everyone wants to 'drive stick shift' But this is something different, it's more of an all-in-one package, great for someone with not much space, maybe a beginner. You could seriously set this up in an office next to your desk. I'm interested to see the results, but it's hard to compare it to a traditional tent.

[@konobikundude]

[@AbsolutelyJustJ]

​@mydankdog You have a point there. Probably going to nip all that spending in the bud and save for this little puppy. For a perso smoke grower it's 👌

[@mydankdog]

@@AbsolutelyJustJ I'm starting the Blackberry Moonrocks grow today. Hopefully it all goes nicely. But as you probably know, every plant is different and they're all pretty needy. So I'm interested to see how she grows in this set up. Thanks for watching mate, I appreciate the feedback!

@@777Dorado 100% As you know, it's never that simple. I am 100% sure I'll have to do more, and add something here and there. These ladies can be demanding, and every strain/grow asks for something new or different. I'll 100% try a photo on the second grow, I'll have to put it to the test.
