SUPERLOCKER 2.0 Review

being a complete noobie when it comes to growing, i started reading a lot and peoples opinions etc. Then decided to go ahead and purchase the super locker 2.0.
With not very many reviews out there, almost none for what i want it to do, i decided to go ahead and put this on here to help out any one else whose having problems. or have any questions. or have any advice as i am still fresh in the game :)
well anyway from weeks 1-8(roughly) i bought a couple clones to get me started. the first mistake i realized here was the locker has two separate areas, the cloning area and the veg/flowering area. when i bought the clones i put them in the cloning area to veg a little longer and then transplanted them into the bottom. but in doing that i fucked up the roots, and so when first starting out just put the clones in the bottom.

It took me a couple tries to get the plants going and went through maybe 3-4 clones before getting the mixture of feed to water right. the Superlocker comes with technaflora recipe for success. which now that i have gotten it down a bit, seems to work really well. i don't have any other comparison other then tons of hours of videos and pictures, and years of smoking and testing the look and feel myself. i have included pictures from my process which is about 3 months from cloning to harvesting. i am not finished yet but will update at the appropriate time.

week 1-3 (roughly) *i say roughly because i don't remember the exact dates and times

this was done in the cloning chamber with a small florescent light on for 24hr. has two small air stones in the reservoir. i started with some Mr Nice Guy, Alien OG, Godfather Kush.
the alien and the god seemed to be doing the best. i couldn't really get nice guy to keep up, eventually tossed it. i then realized i should get them to sprout out under the main light which is 150w.
the alien and god roots started to die off, but then came back. i then bought another mr nice guy and hindu skunk and started growing those in the main Veg chamber with the other 2.

you can see how the skunk looks like its wet and soaking up too much water in comparison to the alien. i didn't quite know how to fix it, and seeing how the other 3 were not having that problem. i ended up tossing it.
i know some strains you need to have more of a stricter regimen, but being as new as i am i didn't go into it to much. just tossed it and kept moving along with the others.

i used a couple different techniques, as you can see the plants are bent over. that tricks the bottom leaves into thinking they are the top, so you can potentialy enduse more bud. i took that mixed with a little topping to get the maximum ammount of bud for the limited space i was using.

WEEKS 4-8 (roughly)

IMG_1337.jpgIMG_1302.jpgIMG_1327.jpgIMG_1292.jpgIMG_1291.jpg

throughout these weeks i ended up narrowing it down to 2 plants. alien and god, they were the strongest through the whole thing. and bent them back to normal and tried a bit of the Sea of green method.
space was very limited and things got hot in there very easily. i had to put another fan inside that was a bit more powerful then the rinky dink one they give you. and being as its hot where i live i have the A/C running at a consistent temp. so Ive gotten control of temp and humidity.

i cut some clones off the two plants and put them in the chamber up top. i had to buy a plastic shield to raise the humidity and spray just regular water all around about twice a day sometimes 3 to keep it moist to endues the roots to grow. and it worked fine.


Im now about 5 weeks into flowering

as you can tell it started to block a lot of light towards the bottom so i did a lot of trimming and to get the air flow nice and even. but i am getting beautiful buds in my opinion.

ill keep updating as soon as i harvest and get them looking pretty. any questions and i will try to answer as best as possible. happy growing and goodluck if you do decide to purchase one of these lockers!

Congrats! The ladies look lovely!! A friend of mine and I are considering buying the exact cabinet you bought....(Super Locker 2.0). Do you think the HPS150 provides enought light? Or should we go with the 250? I want the 250, she wants the 150. And did it really come fully assembled?? I've been growing for almost 10 years now and have always grown in soil, from seed. So, I'm a bit hesitant but they say their system speeds up the growing cycle. Anyway, good luck and I'll be keeping up to date with your grow. Peace!!! :leaf:

The more light you have, the bigger your yield will be. The process is faster in a hydro system. Cuts veg time in half AND increases yield per plant.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks letight. I just ordered mine today and was looking for an insight from someone doing the same thing I'm trying to do.
 
I bought a Super Locker 2.0 a couple months ago, I'm no brain surgeon and have never grown. I assembled it and got started growing...there is a learning curve. I am in week 3 of veg and here are my babies (white widow). I think I'm overwatering so I cut back due to the drooping and leaf discoloration. Letight seems to be on top of it, if I end up with something like that then I'll be stoked! I started with 3 just to learn and not to waste the precious seeds. Attached are a pic taken a couple days ago...pic1.jpg

seems like a super locker advert....

You always have to keep the doors open on those things because it gets too hot...

No you don't, you just need to put an LED light in it. Door shut and hidden in a closet, I was running 80 degree temps with the exhaust fan on in my Superlocker with a 600w Blackstar LED.

Get a better light in there and make sure your nutrients are mixed properly and the water is PH'd to around 5.5-6.0. Results should be amazing. For max yield, only grow 2 plants in the superlocker.

DUDE U READ MY MIND... I have superlocker 2.0 and the main problem is the cabinet getting to hot (see my other posts). I need a very good led in there because it will solve alot of problems like the res water getting too warm ( Mine runs from like 72-75 at 150 watt hps and thats doing frozen bottle of 160z water every 8 hours).... I don't want to have to get a special outlet for the led, just want to get the highest 120v possible... Give me some ideas gonna do it for my next grow.

To the orignal poster did you purchase any additional thing when ordering it?
what happened with the light was it good enough or would a led do better ?

any co2 kit?

what kinda of fan can we replace it with?

Kind Regards.
