I ordered a 4'x'4'x6' tent last friday night from Atlantis Hydroponics. Unfortunately however when trying to put the tent together the manufacturer i guess skipped quality control on my tent cause i was separating threads holding zippers together, had zippers fall off and had seams rip while stretching the tent. I called them and explained my situation and they asked "what can i do to make this better"

and my response was "id really like a tent that isnt having problems but taking this one down and apart and packing it back up for shipping would be to much of a hassle"

He responds "well how about you just keep that tent. Throw it away, Fix it or do whatever and i'll just send you another one right now before my UPS guy gets here"

On top of all that i even got it to be a smaller tent so if i decided to try and fix the larger one ill have a clone/seedling room

I've never had better customer service when it came to an online order. HIGHLY :) recommend them

nice to know thats where im getting my 4x8x7 tent from.
 
A good place to get quality tents for cheap is on eBay through gotham products. I bought 2 of the 6.5 x 6.5 x 6.5 with flanges for $350, free shipping (took about 4 days to get)! I called them and bargained with them on it. Customer service was great. The only bad thing about the whole transaction was the instructions inside the tent box was very outdated. I called and spoke with Sean (I think he is a owner or co owner), and he walked me through everything.

I think my eyes were bigger then my room because I think I am going to sell the tent I didn't open due to size restrictions that I didn't have when I bought it. The tents are very well made and are made with a heavy (900D I think) canvas with the mylar on the inside. No PVC, all steel frame.

I also bought a 6" 435cfm fan from buisnesslights.com for $96.80 shipped. I ordered through website at like midnight on a Sunday and got it on Tuesday!

I bought all of my nutes from http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com. They had the best prices by far on the Botanicare line. I received those within 2 days also.

I got my meters on eBay. I paid about $50 for both my PH and PPM shipped.

Found a great deal on a used CO2 tank on eBay. It was $96 shipped compared to $160 - $190 new which I don't care about cuz I just exchange them anyways.

Home Depot has/had a deal on 100 watt equivalent CFL for under $10 for 12. They were almost $16.

There are some of the deals and places I have dealt with that have been spot on.

I know a lot of this has already been covered but figured another vote does not hurt...

On the first post mane2008 you had noted that you buy gift cards for extra precaution, im plannin on ordering from those sites and having them shipped to my friends house, do you think I should just go ahead and pay with a debit or get the gift card and if so how do you get them?

you can pay with the debit card but some sites dont let you ship to other addresses other than the billing address, hence the gift card suggestion(any billing/shipping address can be used). 7-11/rite aide/walmart, etc but make sure they can be used for online purchases.

Best of luck man

Thanks dude you helped alot, especially with HTG they have alot of what I need for cheap. now time to get some money in my pockets...
 
I choose to buy from my local grow store. few reasons: first, i like to help support local business (keep the $$ circulating in my community).. 2nd, online retailers have been know to sell B.S. (like bulbs that have already been used). plus who knows who u just gave your address to..
we at growhousebuilders have been purchasing our supplies (approx. $20k a month) worth from the same store for 10+ years. we have a great working relationship and they always hook us up with the best prices

Damn my spelling must still be bad. I thought this would help... So many threads about the same question.
I have always used HTG since I knew of them. And they will give you deals if you call them.
They gave me some free digital timers and a free cooling flange. They also price matched everything else.
I haven't tried any other companies yet. I might not, unless HTG doesn't have what I need.

I just spent 4 hrs. pricing the same 8 items at 3 different web sites. I been buying at plantlightinghydroponics.com but after pricing these same 8 items at 3 places i bought them at lonelygrowers.com. Plantlightinghydroponics was about 15 dollars cheaper than cheapyhydroponics.com but i saved about 21 bucks at lonelygrowers.com.. Only thing is i had to substitute 2 name brands that i consider about the same and it seems a little easier to find items at plantlighting but maybe i'll get use to lonelygrowers way of listing things.

Oh, i almost forgot something important: Shipping was free at lonelygrowers and it was gonna be 17 bucks at lightinghydro which makes my savings about 32 dollars on an order that was just a few bucks under 100 dollars. I don't think you're gonna find cheaper prices than what they have but if anybody does , please let me know!!
