?

seriously man, give a little background story, some substance here other than a question mark, you might get a reply or two.

Something in my gut feeling about this post says Is this supposed to be reverse psychology to get people to go look at the site?
Well I looked but not impressed. Seem like they sell stuff I could make my basement with a trip to homedepot and a hydro shop. In other words their products look DIY projects for sale.
Sorry if you really got ripped or something but going with my gut on this one.

well in a nut shell i spent 2,000 bucks for hydroponics unit and when i got it the piece of shit ran at 110 degrees!!!! cant get a refund already sent it back and they just ignore us. next time ill check a companies better business bureau report before believing everyhting they say and claim! after i got ripped off i pulled thier record and they had quite a bit of complaints in many different areas including product quality, shipping issues,return policy complaints,etc..... im not trying to sell anybody shit! i got ripped off and i'm looking for any other potential costumers of the company that got ripped off or unsatisfied with product for legal purposes only.

Damn my gut was way wrong , hearing the actual story to go along with the "?" makes me wish I wasn't wrong though sorry about the accusation and that sucks that you ripped. Really do hope you get some reparations for your troubles with them but do hope there aren't too many others in your shoes. Spread your story and warn the grower community.

bummer bro. fuck those mother fuckers! i hope you get your money back or something. why is this thread stickied?

damn tough luck but with the internet now its pretty simple to do a quick search to see where others are buying there supplies,oviously you found your way here and being you have 3 posts i suspect to other mmj sites as well with this ripoff problem, easier to ask then buy than to buy then complain.dont get me wrong dude i feel ya hurtin,its just the old cart before the horse story.if it sounds to good to be true likely it is!!!!!!

Yes,
I have been ripped off and treated with no respect by that company...Shady Sheds they should call themselves....Shining me when I call....taking 30 days to send the product out when I paid for it to get shipped pronto...the unit was an oven....they made me pay to send it back then after signing off on the parts (that they were not broken) they claimed that they were..I could go on and on....just uncool.....I just chaulked it up as another rippoff..(got some good karma comin my way)
lates....Mandingo rules!

löl

if you think karma is going to avenge anything then the global free market is going to eat you alive, brother......

should've used a reputable dealer. these are obviously not made in a factory under strict quality control standards...look at the pictures....
that thing is a $200 locker with a bundle of insulation, mylar and ducting thrown at it with some generic fans and lights.....

its a fucking cool tube and a rubbermaid container wrapped in foil....you could make the same thing for way less, and I would love to see the way it was shipped and the assembly instructions...
sorry if I sound cynical, but the whole website screams 'unprofessional'....since you posted about the BBB, here's something from the FAQ section on YOUR manufacturers website...

How Do You Compare To The Competition?

Due to very high number of complaints about different companies and bad experiences when buying other companies products, we've decided to add this to the FAQ's. We get calls every week asking for tech support on failing products from different competitors, and it is very sad to hear the sob stories.

First, you should check the BBB rating for other companies. Many 'companies' have nice websites, but are a one man garage operation and basically slap systems together with no research and development. When looking at some of these systems we can very easily see multiple design flaws we scratched after numerous tests. We spend over 18 months testing each of our systems prior to putting them into the market. That is why we know WHAT WORKS and WHAT DOESN'T.

Also check the address for their 'business', and you may notice their business address is for their home residence. This means it is a one man operation and your warranty, products, and service will most likely be substandard.

You will also notice we are the only company that provides auto-fill float valves, ultrasonic foggers, ozone generators (safe output levels by the way), 24 hour support, digital conversion ballasts, MH AND HPS BULBS, and countless other add-ons as standard.

We encourage you to check out ALL of our competitors and do YOUR research, so you can come to an educated decision. Once you have all the information in front of you we know we'll come out #1, which is why we are by far the worlds largest manufacturer of turn-key grow boxes.



if you reached 110f, what are the temps outside this cabinet, in the room its utilized in?

for $2000 you could set up a couple thousand watts of HPS, add an air conditioner and pump out pounds.

damn that sucks i feel for ya but im with muteknee website is extremely unprofessional but, the prices of these units should have been the clue, like he said for 2 g's you could have gotten a lot more equipment and probably even a nice grow room built by yourself.

That's what happens when you're a lazy f*ck with too much money. Build your own system from scratch, for chrisake. You can buy the lighting equipment from lighting stores. You can buy rain gutters and rubbermaid containers from building stores and fountain pumps from wherever. You can buy cabinets from anywhere or build them yourself. Why would you want to throw $2000 away? You should be griping to yourself about being lazy and dumb and not good at building things. Shipping the thing back before getting a refund agreement was like throwing $2000 down the toilet. Now you have nothing at all. Nice going, genius. Welcome to reality. It's a bitch, ain't it?

Wow man, just wow.
Was there really a need for you to lash out like that? Forget meds today?
People get ripped off all the time, some walk into it, some don't. Either way no reason for you to be a dousche.

ya no doubt im noticiing alot of people just come on here and vent on other peoples posts.. its brutal.

Wow - great info on this post -- scammerz are everywhere - BE SURE TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK !!

damn bro, that blows big time

actually some people dont like to go out and collect all that stuff, they rather pay more to get it all one time...sometimes I rather buy a setup all one time but Im usually shot down back to reality cuz Im a little poor so I maguiver it lol but I understand your side and you gottah understand why people do other wise

GODDAM wtf happened to BEING CORDIAL on these sights. What an ass. I bet your stepdad beat you.

2k would build me a great grow room, just have to do alot of research and planning.. fuck you bastards who have "SHIT" to say.

from experience i can say they suck i ordered a digital timer from them about 3 to 4 years ago and not only did it take them like 30 days to send my order but they sent me a mechanical timer ... wtf ...lol..it wasn't no 2g's but it was enough to never go to SHADY SHEDS again..

Yeah, I was little hard on him, wasn't I? I guess I had a case of the gripes that day. Sorry about that. I do think it pays to do a search on the company before placing an order though. You could probably have found bad forum posts about them. By the way, I've got a nice plywood cabinet I can sell you for a mere $1500. SORRY, sorry.

I ordered a custom built finished product. I love it. Cost more than 2000 bucks too. Not that I am lazy, I bust my ass all day long which is why I have both the money and lack of time to put it all together. I did put some time into research of the company and it paid off. I spent a few hours on the phone working asking the sales rep questions and getting the bugs worked out. I knew what I was getting before I ordered it. As far as building your own, I don't work for free. If I paid someone to come set my arrangement up, I would expect it to increase the cost. When I order from someone else who has gotten together the raw materials and put them together they should get paid for their time. I get paid a lot more for my time at work than I could have saved in doing it all myself. That's the reason to pay for convenience right?

Too bad you got ripped off dude, live and learn. I didn't when I bought my current setup but I have been ripped off in other ways many times in my life. It always sucks.

You're right. Not everyone is willing or able to put their own stuff together. I shouldn't have said he was lazy. It is actually a lot of work even making a small cabinet. I don't know why I kicked that guy while he was down. I really am sorry to him for that. Won't do so again.

spam them with fake email questions from a different email address.

I know of two others that were scammmed by them too, too bad I guess, there are always wolves at the door it seems...

I'm sorry to hear that you got ripped off by sunlight sheds. That really sucks man. I work hard as hell for my money and I would be fuming mad if my system ran that hot. but seriously why did you decide to go with them? I think of all the companies that make hydroponics grow boxes they suck just about the most. I mean look at the pictures on their website look like amateur hour at best. You sort of know what you're getting yourself into when you are with a company like that. The pictures say everything about the quality of their products. Maybe you can add an air conditioning to the room to help the unit run cooler. Or at least leave the unit open so that it will cool better. I would recommend at least putting a small floor fan directly pointing at the box to keep it running cooler. And there won't be used as stealthy at least your plants won't catch on fire!!

Great post .. I have been looking at there site for a while now but decided to do some research .. glad I did :-)

First of all, I'm a newb here, so please don't bite me too hard, ok? Because some of the questions I may ask might be pretty lame...but as to the first post...or the person who posted it....

Hey man, sorry to hear you got ripped off that way with your setup.

I'm also looking into getting a system that's ready to go...just for some small growing, but I'm at a crossroads cause there's SO much stuff out there, it gets 'confuzzling' to say the least! lol

I did notice on one of the earlier posts here that someone said about their company being reputable, but that just leaves me with a big question mark....ummm...What IS their company, and should I PM that person and see where/what they sell? Or would that freak someone out? (Like I said, I'm a newbie!)

I really can't afford to get ripped off..well, who the hell can, huh? And not only that, but I have to take extra precautions with a setup that isn't too noticeable..so I'm looking for something that fits those requirements.

I mean, some of those sites make it sound like everything is odorless, doesn't use much electricity, blah, blah, blah...

Me, I'm probably dipping my toe in the Atlantic Ocean once too often...lol....by asking all of this stuff, but hey, c'mon..that's the beauty of this forum right?

Besides, I'm a Newf and we gals kick ass partying,don't we? lol

Cheers! And please be gentle...I'm new at this...well, the growing aspect...and dammit, if I can grow pretty much anything outside (Gardening, etc), then I figure I can do this too...RIGHT? lol

Their website looks like it's made from a generic template.

I got my stuff from a "Specialty Lighting" store down the road from where I live, where you can buy just about everything you need; High pressure Sodium bulbs etc... as well as the electrical equipment to hook it up safely. Right next to it is a store that sells growing equipment (soil, PH solution, fertilizer etc...)

But ya srry to hear about the crappy grow box.

For $1200 I was able to convert an out of use bathroom into a 5'x7'x 7' flowering area with 1k switchable sunsystem ballast.350cfm elicient exhaust fan can 50 carbon filter and 250cfm intake fan. 2 3'x3'x3.5' veg closets with 1 250w cfl grow light in bright wing reflectors and a mother closet 2'D x 5'L x 4'H light here is 2 4' shop lights with total of 4 43w 6500k bulbs. And to top it all off the whole system never gets over 84 degrees in the summer and 74 degrees in the cooler months. So I would say good planning and frugle shopping will always get you a far better system then something made on an assembly line of course that price is for a all soil grow as I prefer the taste to buds grown in soil over pure hydroponic. If you can manage to get your money back I would suggest building everything as a DIY project hell offe to let them keep 10% as a restock fee maybe you can get your cash back and build your own

If you think you are getting ripped off, you should check out this video that will open your mind.
http://www.growersunderground.com/blog/hydroponics-articles/sunlight-supply-wire-mail-and-bank-fraud

I have a Sunlight Shed light, but I bought it from another company that caries their products.

Now that was one very interesting video ! Needs to be spread around a bit more I think.

Sunlight supplies and sunlight sheds are not the same company and the growersunderground is just a PR site for Advanced Nutrients. Believe what you want, but I don't trust big mike or his claims, and don't appreciate him "speaking on behalf of the community" because he doesn't speak for me. Caveat emptor my friends, buyer beware. The internet may be cheap, but I would rather develop a rep with a real store, and when things don't work as planned I can let THEM deal with the headache. In retail money talks.

Wow, very nice informative video you shared here. Your post is equally beautiful and moving and congrats to you for surviving. It is very helpful and interesting post for every one who want to know about this.

i couldn't see the video. all that came up was a pirahna monster with this message:


Due to State Regulations, some areas of this site

bummer,

-blue skies

i'm pretty sure our CC grow threads have posts regarding grow boxes (grow sheds). if anyone has links to some threads can you post them here? i'd like to read some actual users using actual grow boxes.

-blue skies

No problems with sunlight shed. Works fine and dandy.

Gettin ripped off by anyone sucks. Big corp? I bet they have a fax machine. How about a couple hundred color pages of 'important information' pumped down the line. Then try a phone call; didn't work? Run a couple hundred more cause it's REALLY important, and call back. What about off hours? Unfortunatly there may be some issues with them being able to conduct any other business, while you transfer yours. You may find this useful to get some results.

I like that Frank

Came up with it when I was really pissed off about being ignored. It's worked twice for us, but as said earlier, buyer beware is the best choice in the first place.

Well it doesn't LOOK like they're the same, but a lot of the different big companies out there actually own a lot of their so-called competition. Sunlight Supply and NGW are basically the same thing, and NGW owns at least half a dozen other companies.

There's no telling how far they've got their tentacles into the market. It's entirely possible Sunlight Sheds is owned by them for little reason except to make NGW look better.

Conspiracy theory = good business practise?

What a concept

I bought a Mini Cool Cab from these guys via Dealzer, yes they were one and the same as of 08/2010. When the cab was delivered the driver asked if I could meet him 13 miles away to save him some time. The Cab was on a pallet and I've a broke back and neck. The driver was a prick when he showed up and would not use the lift, so in unloading the Cab was bent or maybe just came that way. I had to pay the driver an extra 20.00 to get the Cab inside. As for there customer service, I have to say to there credit they bent over backwards to make me happy. With this all said, I priced all the equipment that was in the Cab and they're more than doubling there money and you can bet they're getting a discount for buying in quantity. The Cab itself cost about 230.00 from Office Depot, they're made by Sundusky cost $230.00 I think and that was the 72" tall one. Mine was only 42" tall. Just my experience.

Yeah a few months ago I got their system for 2 grand. The dam thing gets clogged up with it's roots & you can't keep the ph steady to save your life. Knowing what I've learned from this experience could have saved me at least a grand. They never return calls& never have answers to any questions if you do get through. Fuck em, never again!

Well just to be clear, my cool cab was purchased from sunlight sheds. anyone thinking of buying one of these stealth grow boxes should look else where...like someone with indoor grow experience!

i got one from CDL, nice till then
