Review Homegrown Hydroponics Grow-Pod Air-conditioned Grow Box

I live in Southern California where it hot. Really hot for most of the year! There is not much I can do about it. It's my choice to live in this beautiful desert on the West Coast. I have been wanting to grow my own organic fresh herbs for quite some time now. However because of my living space I have very little room that can be devoted to a hydroponics grow operation. Since I live in a small one-bedroom studio condo, I really have no room to grow any plants. I'm pretty crammed in there with the furniture that I own and I have no room to grow any plant in my living space as they would be really obvious to anybody that came over and would give me less space to live in.

However the one space that I have that is not being used fully is my outdoor attached storage facility; sort of like a small garage for a scooter or something. The storage space has an electrical outlet, as well as a light as well as privacy which I like. It seems like it would be a perfect place to grow my plants if it wasn't so hot in there. In the summer the temperature in my outdoor storage room can get over 120°. Way too hot to grow a plant. So after three years I have almost given up looking for a grow box. I thought I would have to build my own if I wanted to do it right. That chance never came; which turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

I was glancing through High Times magazine one day and saw that a company called Homegrown Hydroponics was advertising a grow box that has a built-in air conditioner called the Grow Pod. This immediately peaked my interest. I have never seen a grow box with its own built-in air conditioner before, and this could be the answer that I have been looking for all these years. I gave Homegrown Hydroponics a call around 9:30 at night on a random Thursday evening and I was surprised that the phone was picked up by a live sales operator. I was very curious to know more about how I would be able to use a grow box in an environment that is so extremely hot with poor ventilation. The salesman that I spoke to told me that the Grow Pot in fact has its own built-in air conditioning system which allows that particular grow box to run as cool as you want no matter how hot the conditions are outside. All you have to do is set the temperature that you want to maintain and your air conditioned grow box will do exactly that. I knew immediately that I was on the right track with this company and was speaking to the right people to change my life so I could at last grow my own.

I made some very simple modifications to my grow space to be able to vent out the hot air into a unused crawlspace and vented in cool fresh air from the outside. The Grow Pod grow box fit nicely into the area that I had in mind for it, and it runs at 72°, independent of the very hot 95° temperatures outside!

The Grow Pod by Homegrown Hydroponics has truly been the answer that of looking for to be able to grow comfortably in a hot environment and still support 20+ plants that I was looking to grow with relative ease. To say I am happy with my purchase would be an understatement! Homegrown Hydroponics really came through for me and I appreciate the time they spent with me on the phone to recommend how I could modify my space for maximum usability. My tomatoes have never looked better!

I would highly recommend Homegrown Hydroponics and their full line of grow boxes to anybody who is looking for a solution for growing plants with hydroponics all year long in hot environments such as the California desert. Homegrown Hydroponics has been a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and I am so happy that they had the insight to build a product with a built-in air conditioning for people like myself who run in extremely hot climates, and have no other choice. It's nice to see that there are still some companies like Homegrown Hydroponics that's thinking outside the box. I am very happy with the items that I purchased from Homegrown Hydroponics I would definitely recommend them to anybody looking at getting started with their own
hydroponics garden.
