I snagged an unopened Phototron III for $35 on Marketplace today. The guy said he bought it in 2013 and had it in storage for the last 10 years. All the paperwork is from 1991. I think it’s been sitting around much longer than ten years. What are the odds that I could use the included supplies and have them produce some nice buds?
I haven’t found too much info about them, but see @PhilCuisine has used one.

I didn’t call. I did a little recon before I bought it and found out the company went belly up.

Call the number anyway and tell the person who answers you were instructed to call…then make all types of outrageous demands…then come share the outcome with us…lol…let’s see where this goes.

It is a time machine. Been sitting in that box for over 30 years. Can’t wait to get it set up and plugged in. Won’t be able to grow any monsters in it, but could be a good spot for starts.

Straight up antique! I wonder if there’s a weed museum? You should post an ad on ebay and see if you get any outrageous offers for that thing. Never know. It’s like an unopened hot wheels car with original packaging.

Is there a price tag on it anywhere? I wonder what it was selling for brand new back in the day.
LOL! Oh to be young again! I remember 1992 like it was yesterday. I was actually suprised when I stopped to think about how long ago 1992 was. Damn! Over 30 years. Being a child of the 60’s, I do remember the 90’s very well.

I feel like your only choice is it grow a plant in your closet using the kit.

I agree. I feel like it’s my duty to follow all the obsure directions that come with it and see what kind of plant I can produce. Sounds like a fun little grow.
