intrested in buying this 600 watt HiD that comes with a DWC site and some extra nutrients. Never bought and shipped to the house before when it comes to hydro. Will Amazon or whoever ships it be suspicious. Or do they have little to no knowledge what's in the package

Amazon/eBay probably supply the majority of hobbyists. They're happy to sell you what you need, no questions asked. They ship thousands of growing products every day. As for packaging, that varies. Most of it is discrete, but I've heard of goods arriving with "PLANT GROW LIGHTS AND TENT ENCLOSED". :mrgreen: If in doubt, read the comments (it's a fairly common question), contact the seller, or request gift wrapping if available.

If amazon has my needed grow item I buy from them for years. prime shipping is awesome. sure beats going to the grow shop

but be careful, 8 bulb t5 came in sunblaze box with a picture of whats inside. most everything else comes in an amazon box. next time I pay gift wrapping charge of like $3 so box comes wrapped!!!

If you're talking about the apollo one you're good the box Isn't sketchy at all. Works well too no problems yet and I'm not even using A/C hood. But for the most part amazon is good, Everything I've ever ordered came in a generic whatever sized box with amazon logo and tape on it.

I''m a fairly new grower, but I see it being the same for me honestly I've bought like everything off there so far, and i have 0 complaints. I got prime too cause it's worth it for me, free 2 day delivery! Theres a one month free trial too so If OP Isn't a prime member, sign up and you can get your light in 2 days!

Amazon Prime is the shit. Depending on where you live, they even have same day delivery.

NP! N I was happy with it, ill put a pic up of the box if i can find it lol plain w/ nothing but my post sticker on it if i remember correctly. Yeah you can find alot of the stuff on other sites on amazon, n I been buying alot. Shipping costs would add up quick buying from other places. This way It's 70 bucks or so a year and then free rush shipping can't go wrong. They got me on the one month trial lol i loved it.

HPS light and RO water in Walmart also you can rent a FLIR at Home Depot, which is kinda cool after the bbq in the pool

If it makes you feel better, Cosco sells gorilla grow tents, and some lighting options as well.
So does Home Depot, they have can filters and a good price also. But they still usually have to be ordered from another store, which means it can be delivered to your house or picked up at the store.

You pay $70 bucks a year? I was paying $70 too but then I was sent an email telling me Prime was going up to $100.

But I still dont care, 2 day shipping on any item is just awesome!

I have a friend who is petro and I do all the bying for me and him off Amozon I got a tent, 4 lights (2-t5, 1-600watt hps, 1-500 watt equavalent LED) 2- exhaust fans, soil ammendments (I grow in SS so I mix my shit), soil, ph pens, nutes, soil moisture meters and so much more.

Go ahead get what you need they're not concern with your buying habits,
And get Prime you'll be needing it.

NO ONE CARES
Most of the time...

Are you on parole? Multiple indictments? Do people constantly file complaints against you? Do you get into fights with your lover. Are you a mafia associate? Do you rob people for a living? Are you under house arrest and wearing a bracelet?

Ask yourself a few questions, then order.
