Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to come to this thread. My goal is to help myself as well as first time growers in gathering grow supplies .This is my first post and first thread so if I put this in the wrong place,please let me know.
I have done about a years worth of research on growing. In theory I know a great deal about growing, but have never attempted to do so. Well I'm ready to take the plunge and I know what equipment that I will be buying. The problem that I have is how to gather the supplies with out getting busted.I'm somewhat older and have no friends who smoke. Since I have this problem I do not have a safe place to have supplies deliverer nor do i have any one to take me to the hydro store to buy the supplies.

So will it be safe to go gather the supplies at the local hydro store? Should I buy all the supplies at one time. I will be paying in cash that I know for sure. I feel that the seeds are the easiest to get, but i have became paranoid because of all the stories you here about the cops looking for growers at the hydro shop.The growing part I'm not paranoid at all about its the part where I'm gathering the supplies that i become a beep of the radar.

So my question to the growers is, how did you gather your supplies? Did you make a bulk purchase or did you buy them over time? Has anyone ever got busted buying at Worms way. I have searched the internet and can not find a solid answer please help me with these questions. Thank you!

Dont worry
Go in and browse around pick up your supplys and dont worry
There are alot of things to grow inside Flowers veggies all kind of things just dont wear your pot leaf tee shirt and go straight not smelling of bud and red eyed
The store owner wants the money he dosnt care what you grow
Good luck on your new hobby
Happy Growing

your tweakin. just go to the stores you need supplies from and buy them. using cash is a good idea. get the seeds from the attitude, you cant go wrong with them. like green dave said, dont go in there high or looking suspicious. be confident and to the point. you grow tomatoes. or your getting your mom supplies to grow her tomatoes if anyone of importance asks you. or ask the person who asked you, what business of it is yours?!?! dont worry, you'll be fine. :)

I talk to my friends about my hobby and they ask questions about me buying seeds online and shit, "what if they intercept the package?"...ok, first of all, who is "they" and how do 'they' have divine knowledge and the resources to monitor and enforce the simple act of buying something that COULD potentially be used for illegal grows? The simple answer is, they don't.

lol, but if you wear a tinfoil helmet, the store owner will not be able to. his mind reading waves will reflect off of the helmet and give you the power to read his mind.... LMAO

lol your sketching out. Hydro shops are making money out of this so their not going to refuse to sell you stuff. Use cash so there's no paper trail back to you though.

they wont ask, so don't tell.

know what you want before walking in, cause if you dont they'd ask 'what do you plan on growing?'.

If owning grow equipment was illegal, do you think we'd have stores that sell us all these cool lights,fans, nutes, and whatnot?

Just get it all at once, you'll look like a badass to all the wannabe window shoppers, lol.

i go to lowes or home depot. just yesterday i bought 3 different soils and a 4ft Fluorescent tube with the lamp fixtures. my seed... well i get them from the buds i buy from my dealers. so i wouldnt stress that.
since your a first time grower like me, just try and mess with the little league stuff to experiment..
this will actually be my second time growing. my first one went ok.
i was using a daylight floodlight connected to a dome lamp, regular cheap soil, some miracle grow all purpose, and my everyday average seed. it came to about 5'12 in height. i budded only 4-6 gramz. that was my fault, lol because i couldnt wait for them to grow so i just tried one then ended up smoking all.
and personally one pinky nail hit got me high as if i smoked ah eL.

but yea, i hope you find out what ur lookin for.

o and for further notice, when you hear about cops chillin somewhere to catch someone. the best thing i do is not go at all. i go search at different shops. best deal was lowes and home depot
