This year I was going to but the veggie garden got in the way…

I grow Autoflower exclusively. Turn around time is at most 4 months.

I did some internet research on that box, gotta say an impressive setup. I’ve been growing cannabis in earnest since 2000 at least. In hydro, soil and experimentally in aero, photoperiod and autoflower.

I may be completely wrong but I do believe that box was for photoperiod plants before autoflowers got as great as they are now. I have switched to growing autoflower exclusively…it is the easiest. You don’t need to worry about the lighting switch from veg to flower…nutrient usage is way down , autos don’t need much fertilization.
You can’t clone autos plus it’s best to start the seeds in their final growing place…no transplanting. You really shouldn’t top or fim autos low stress training is best.
From seed in ground to harvest in … depending on strain and breeder…anywhere between 10 to 14 weeks.

That’s what the Bloom Box was promising with photoperiods. Most of the threads I’ve seen in various grow journals and forums are grower’s converting their boxes toward the newer strains and techniques, it still an awesome stealth grow place…if that’s a concern.

But none of this really answers your question. Sorry.
