Being a first time grower, my 22" plant has been in flowering for 4 days now. After reading up on nutes to use during this stage, I decided to head on over to the local Gardener's Hydroponics.
I had a list of the things I wanted, but the way this store was laid out, it was hard to find anything. The store clerk was a chunky "white" guy with glasses... this is Florida, that should have spelled trouble then and there. Without trying to reveal my intentions, I was asking for the specific nutes I had recorded, and almost immediately he went from friendly to suspicious.
He asked me what plant I was trying to grow, and, me being the unprepared idiot that I am,had no idea what to tell him other than "Morning Glories". He told me literally to get the "f" out of the store. I was already slightly nervous from him catching me by surprise from before, so I just left. It was humiliating to say the least, and I would have cussed him out but I really did not want to argue over whether or not I was growing weed in front of other customers.
For those of you who are new, learn from my mistake. Have a plan if you need help with anything in a hydroponics store. Of course, this is all just common sense, but everyone makes mistakes.
