what do you say you are growing to grow shop?

what plant can i say im growing that grows similar to mj so I can get help @ grow shop

growing weed is similar to growing tomatos

you can say tomatoes- usually you dont have to say anything specific- just tell them how much room you have. They know how to handle this kind of thing.

In my experience most grow shops know why people shop there, most other gardeners would go to a garden center or nursery but to a hydro shop they know what their market is and they have probably grown themselves which is why they are where they are now.

This is my experience as well. The most I have ever been asked was 'How many plants are you growing?'

yea excactly, they will usually just ask you the size of the area you currently are looking to grow in. If you have looked into lighting systems, and the amount of plants is sometimes asked, i just always refer to my garden as a hydro tomatoe garden, same thing really

hahaha tell them you grow all yer herbs and spices...you like to season food with fresh from the crop items

lol

or tell them you're doing an experiment in school

I have the bene of having local access to one of the largest in the nation. It's don't ask don't tell. I am in the professional world so I don't stand out which is nice, but I still never talk about marijuana, I do talk a lot with them about plants though!

i've found i know more than the hydro store workers quite often


and i don't even do hydro =\

but, whatever....


i'd ask this site the questions and then just use the store to pick up supplies...
know exactly what you want when you go in, whether it be ferts or medium, or lighting...


the most i'll ever ask is, "hey do you have something like this *points to item* only cheaper?"

otherwise, the word is mum

oh, and always use cash at those places=]

I made my wife run to the shop alone last weekend since she was in the area and she got worried about the same thing.

They don't ask.

tell them u need 40 new cords for your galaxy ballasts i some guy do it today and thats all he bought was fourty new 240v cords i wanted to follow him just to take a look at his setup

Jesus, you have to be paranoid about a hydroponic garden supply store?

I thought hydroponic gardening was popular across the board e.g. not only with pot growers.

Isn't more likely that because you grow pot, your first inclination is to assume that the majority of people in the hydroponic store are in there for the same reason? However, isn't it more likely that they are in fact looking to grow tomatos?

It is like when you first started to grow -- some of you probably can't remember that far back, others like it was yesterday -- didn't you wonder if the guy or gal who designed the floor areas of your local mega-low mart, or hardware store, weren't also growers? I mean, how could they not be with the lights being right next to the timers, and the timers being right next to the pumps, which are right next to perfect grow buckets, which are right next to the double sided tape for hanging that mylar, which is right next to the fans yadda, yadda!

I remember recently being in a mega-low mart and seeing a man filling his cart with CFL's, I mean loads of them. I couldn't help but laugh. I assumed right away this guy was a grower. But, I really think it was only a coincidence that when he turned around his shirt said "Hanging with my buds" and had a picture of several fat buds hanging on lines...
