7 Ounces from a PhytoMAX 200

Posted on March 23, 2016.
The PhytoMAX 200 may be the smallest light we offer, but it can still give incredible yields! The video below showcases a super-compact cabinet grow, where we were able to get 196 grams from a 215-watt PhytoMAX 200 in under 3 square feet of growing area. That's almost a half pound of top-shelf Blue Dream!
The PhytoMAX 200 small LED grow lights are a great option for any indoor gardener with a flowering footprint of 2.5 x 2.5 feet. This compact cabinet featured a Dust Shroom on the air intake with a 6-inch Max-Fan and 4-inch carbon filter to keep the air cycling and fresh. The total electric bill including the fan and PhytoMAX 200 was under $15 a month. The featured 10-week flowering run yielding almost 7 ounces used only $38 in electricity!
We were pleasantly surprised by these results. If we can get these results with our smallest light, just imagine what you can do with a PhytoMAX 1000!

Do you provide the details of the design of your super-compact cabinet grow using the PhytoMAX 200? I'd love to try to duplicate your results.
Thanks,
Tony
Hey Tony,
We do not have any blueprints or plans but you can call in and ask any questions you may have on it! 720-420-1209, we would be happy to help!
I'm a farmer (68 years)who wants to be a New Grower in Arizona, Waiting for the November 8 ballet. For a person such as myself who has never smoked pot or cigarettes can I still learn how to grow? I have three commercial 40' x 60' x 14' Steel Buildings all with cement floors. I have cleaned out one of them and would like to purchase a few of these PhytoMAX 200 units to see if I can do this. Any advice that you could offer. Thank you
Hello Barney,
We have a complete grow a long series on our YouTube page to help new growers get all their questions answered. Here is a link to that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQPJgJVin6I
We have many different videos all over our channel that go into depth about everything from transplanting, watering, topping, harvest and much more! Please enjoy and always reach out with any questions!
Cheers,

Hi,
I just purchased 2x of the phytomax 200.. do you have a complete grow journal i could follow with instructions on how to set up the cabinet for my first grow??
Thanks in advance!
Matt
Hi Matthew,
I have a basic journal noting watering/feeding days. The nutrients used for veg were DynaGro and for flower were were Botanicare following the manufacturers recommendations and everything was grown in soil. The cabinet is a pretty advanced setup for a first time unless you are very handy. I would recommend getting a tent if you have the space. For that light a 2X2 tent would be perfect and is a great way to get started.
Let me know if you have any other specific questions about the build or any aspect of it. I would also recommend checking out our YouTube channel or Instagram where we have posted more from this cabinet.
Happy gardening,
Black Dog LED
Was hoping you had more info on this build. Do you have any specs on all the parts used and the assembly? Also, would two phytomax 200's be enough to cover 4' long x 2' deep x 4' tall. Would probably be closer to 3' tall accounting for height of light and reservoir on the bottom. Was thinking 32 plants may net around 16 ounces at this rate. Thank You.
Hi Kevin,
Most of the parts used were the items you can buy from our website, such as MaxFan, Can-Lite Carbon Filter, timer, and of course the light. The miscellaneous parts are from the hardware store. I can provide info on any specific parts you would like but it is more important to understand the concepts since every cabinet is different and there are many ways to accomplish the same thing.
Yes, two PhytoMAX 200 would cover a 4X2 space and it would be perfect. This cabinet it undersized since it is just about 3 square feet. With a full 4 square feet per light you could definitely beat the 7 ounces per grow that I can get from this cabinet with a single PhytoMAX 200.
Happy gardening,
Black Dog LED
