this is copy and pasted. I would have to drive 200 miles there and 200 back. He dropped the price from 1500 to 800 so its a good deal i believe even in the tents are shit. please let me know what yall think i should do. i only get 7mpg so it would cost about 200 to drive up there and back plus food and my time.



First thing in line is a ez clone 120.It can be found for $454 at HTG supply .And this thing is soooo simple to use. You make a cutting and throw it into the machine and 1-2 weeks later you have roots. You can find it cheaper elsewhere but it still usually comes to $400+ by the time you get it shipped. This has VERY little use and works very well. Plenty of life left in this guy. Was purchased on 9/16/11 and is still under manufactures warranty. I will include receipt for the buyer so if you have a problem you can get another one for free. I paid $479.85...and like I said I have a receipt.

Next thing in line is the ez clone 30. This is also in great shape and works very well. MSRP on this guy is $310. So that being said....yeah keep your calculator out. Its going to add up quick. You can find that htg

Next in line is the Hanna HI 98129 combo meter. It does ph,ec,ppm. It goes for $199.00. And if you have ever grown you understand how important it is to have a good meter. Its VERY IMPORTANT!
.

Lets not forget about the mom tent she is 51.5" x 22.5" x 48.5" Grow Cabinet / Grow Tent by GrowBright. Growing plants indoors just became easier and smarter. The GrowBright Grow Tent will provide a superior indoor greenhouse growing environment for your plants. This tent is perfect for a 4 foot 4 lamp T5 light fixture. Cloning has just gotten easier.This tent is VERY nice for moms and the ez cloner because they will be on different light cycles then your flowing plants. It does the trick.

Now on to the hydrohut(hydrofarm) silver edition(the best ones you can buy) tents. They are the silver addition's and are the best on the market! These are the new updated non off gassing ones. I have a 3x3 and a 4x4. The 4x4 is a lot bigger tho. The 3x3 was $250 and the 4x4 was $350. So a total of $900 for both. These things are tough as nails and are made to last. These tents are awesome if you have your plants on different cycles.


Now on to the goodies ...and as god said on the 3rd day " Let there be light"! Lets start off with the T5 HO hydrofarm 4' 6 bulb. Hydrofarm's new Designer T5 System delivers performance, flexibility and high lumen output in any growing environment. These daisy-chainable systems allow you to choose multiple hanging configurations to meet your garden's design. They combine German specular aluminum with energy-efficient/high-output T5 bulbs and put out double the light energy of normal fluorescent systems. This is AWESOME for mom plants(ones you will be taking cuttings from). Puts out almost no heat and only draws like 200watts and puts out a blinding 30,000 Lumens of vegetative light! This thing is awesome.
I also have a 400w hps light that is great for moms and what not. It has both a upgraded hps bulb and a eye lux hps to mh conversion bulb. The damn conversion bulb was $100 by itself. Also the light was $250 shipped with a sunmaster bulb and upgraded euro hood.



Here are the big HID lights. Grow bigger and better on cheaper power....these digital lights are the new way to go. And they put off NO heat the ballast that is.This 600 watt system is recommended for gardens anywhere between 4' x 4' (floor space) to 7' x 7'.This is simply the BEST High Intensity Discharge (H.I.D.) Grow Light System on the market today. Top Quality Construction and Components combined with Outstanding Value make this the perfect choice for your grow light needs.DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY IS THE GREATEST ADVANCEMENT IN GROW LIGHTS IN 35 YEARS!MANUFACTURED BY "DIGITAL GREENHOUSE".This is a HIGH OUTPUT DIGITAL ELECTRONIC BALLAST that operates both 600 watt High Pressure Sodium and 600 watt Metal Halide Lamps.The DIGITAL GREENHOUSE Electronic ballasts are more efficient and reduce energy consumption. PLEASE NOTE THAT I UPGRADED TO THE HUGE BIG ASS HOODS. THEY ARE BIG AND MAXIMIZE LIGHT OUTPUT WITH NO HOT SPOTS. IN OTHER WORDS.....THEY ARE THE SHIT AND YOU GET MORE YIELD. THESE LIGHTS WERE RIGHT AT $400 DELIVERED TO MY DOOR. AND I HAVE 2 OF THEM. I ALSO UPGRADED TO SUNMASTER BULBS! THEY HAVE PLENTY PLENTY OF LIGHT LEFT! like I said they are $400 ea. and I have 2 of them so a total of $800


Ok now lets talk about heat and smell........ I have a 4" HO (170 CFM) growbright fan that was set up for my mom tent. It was bought from htg and cost was $100 shipped. Now lets talk about the bad boys. I have a 6" CAN fan that will cool the 2 big ass hoods with the 600's in them. It does an awesome job and works well. It is rated at 400 cfm and does every bit of it. It teams up well with the CAN fan 33 carbon filter(we will get to that in a min). Now I also have a 8" HO CAN fan that will almost blow your ass over. Shits strong as hell and teams well with clearing MANY MANY hoods and teams well with he CAN 100. It will clean the air of a 10x10 room in no time. The cfm is right at 722 cfm. They can be found here. Oh and the 6" was $200 and the 8" ho was $285. They are the best fan you can buy.
Now I'm offering a CAN fan carbon filter. Its a 33 and matches well with the 6" can fan. If you have never used one......well I just cant make you understand how well these things work. It is a MUST HAVE! Its amazing! This filter runs $125 new. honestly if they charged $400 for it I would have bought it! Worth every penny


As for the trays. I have two of them. I have a 3x3 that fits PERFECT into the 3x3 tent and a 4x4 that fits awesome into the 4x4 tent. IIRC the 3x3 was $100
and the 4x4 was $200 from the store. they are made by botanicare.They will come with all of the fittings and everything you need. I also have pumps to flood the tables with. These trays hold plants of plants and do hydro or dirt. Worth every penny.


Also I just have too much fucking shit to list. I have left over chemicals/nutes....transfer pumps...baby bloomer hydro kit.....seedling mat's.....temp meters....extra bulbs....gal's of ph up and down....7.0 buffer solution(2 new bottles haven't even been opened yet)..pots...grow bags(new not even opened)..and much much more. I seriously have $4k-$5k worth of stuff that is ready to be put to use. I mean its just sitting here getting 0 use. And if you think 1500 is too much then you don't know what I'm offering and what its worth...no offense. But the person that knows what he is doing and what I'm offering knows what kind of a deal this is. If I cant get 1500 for this then I will let it sit here...which is a shame. Don't forget the cloning machines are almost a grand ($1k) by itself. Also please dont call me with a bunch of stupid questions as I will NOT answer them.I dont know.....and I'm not sure will be my answer. Also the only thing I cant include is the lil foam inserts that go into the ez cloners. Roots grow into them so I just replace them every time anyway. Also everything has been cleaned THOROUGHLY so everything is minty clean of dirt and what not .. Come and get it. .

I stopped reading when he said his digital ballasts put off no heat.

Might be a good deal but the guy sounds like a game show host, and I wouldn't drive 200 miles for a guy like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if you got beaten up and robbed of your 800. Is this on craigslist or something? Just curious why a guy would say 1500 is an awesome price on this gear worth 4-5k and then drops to 800.

The 3x3 tray I have barely fits in my 4x4 tent. Sounds like hes selling something, like wbd says.

I have a new ecoplus 1/2hp chiller (new one with wired remote and new design) that I have been trying to unload at 500 bucks (paid over 1k at a hydro store) and never had any takers anywhere. Same with a co2 monitor and my ice boxes that went to the chiller setup. Never got offered 50% retail.


800 bucks on 5k worth of equipment isnt a scam, it's a liquidation price, he wants all that shit gone for whatever reason. When you are out, you are out I guess.

i kinda feel like i need some people to show up with me lol. He has it stored in a storage unit so he said he wants it gone cuz he has to pay on it every month. but what i dont get is why he just bought the cloner and is selling a month later for the price of the two cloners.

i would strongly suggest you do not go alone. you should have at least one buddy with you and bring a pocket knife and some pepper spray.


but thats just my 2 cents.

7 miles per gallon, what the fuck are you driving, a fucking sherman tank !!!

400 miles divided by seven miles is 57.1 gallons of fuel. at 200 dollars that is roughly 3.50 dollars a gallon, is that correct.

in the uk it would cost £342.00

Sounds a bit sketch as everything on his list is drastically overpriced. Those Digital Greenhouse ballasts are crap (I own one) an definitely not worth $400. New Lumateks are only $180 shipped... Tent's are worth less than $100 each, cloner can be DIY for ~$50, tables and misc not worth much either. Pretty sure you could source yourself this gear new for around the same price.

yes and when he pulls a shotgun get the toilet paper from the glove box, reminds me of that joke :-

a guy goes down to the circus for the lion tamers job, he asks the ringmaster, "what do i do if the lion growls at me" you crack your whip says the ringmaster, he then asks " what do i do if the lion stands on his hind legs and growls at me" the ringmaster replies, you crack your whip and pick up a stool and shove it towards it, okay the man said, " what do i do if the lion growls and lunges at me" you start throwing shite at it said the ringmaster, " what if theres no shite " said the man, the ringmaster replies oh there will be shite dont you worry about that.

i was guestimating on price but yes fuel is about 3.5 a gallon here. i drive a lifted truck with 37in tires so they suck up all the gas you can throw at it.

i figured they were crap i looked them up and didnt like them from just the looks. basically i need the tents, the cloner, the t5 and id like that meter but the rest of it doesnt really mean shit to me. it would be nice to have so i could have a veg tent and a flower tent. along with a cloning station or something like that. i thought since i dropped 1700 on the stuff i have now that 800 would be worth all of that. he also said he upgraded the reflectors. when i upgraded them on the site it came out to like 380 so that plus shipping.... i dunno if he is over pricing anything. just putting whats on the websites. even at that with the stuff not being good quality or w/e is it still worth 800 used?

The $99 4x4 tents they sell on ebay are amazing - most of them just as good as the $350+ name brands. If you really want a complete ezcloner then I guess it's a decent deal. Personally I think spending $400 on something you can make for ~$50 is just nuts. If you're convinced that the brand name is that much better you can buy the name brand manifold and sprayers separate ($120) and put it in your own tupperware with a $30 pump and save yourself $250.

If you need all of that gear and will put it all to use it's a decent deal. If you don't need the brand name ezcloners then it's a rip off in my opinion. Just my opinion though. Could always part the extras out to your buddies as xmas gifts I guess :)

Bring a buddy and make a day of it. It could very well be legit. I found 8 (count 'em EIGHT) 1K HPS magnetic ballasts on craigslist for $50 ea. I called and told him I'd take all 8. I drove over 100 mi for them. When I got there there were actually 10, and he threw in the extras for free.

Thanks guys. i dunno what i wanna do gastanker makes a good point. its just some name brand stuff i can make for cheap.. The t5 is about 200 plus shipping, and another then would be about 100-200 so i could have my veg room right there.
