Hey Farmers.
I wanted to get a thread going on some spots here in Washington that carry grow equipment, and are not designated as a grow store. Most beginner growers get intimidated at grow stores as the sales reps try to push the most expensive gear. Sometimes equipment can be purchased at a local hardware store for less than a hydro store, and local nurseries are a great resource for hard to find items.
I just went to McClendon's hardware in Tacoma, and was impressed by the items carried. Beyond items like ProMix and FoxFarm soils, they had lighting (including T-5s) ,smart pots, coco bricks, soil test kits, PH meters, and plenty of gear to build a hydro set-up with an assortment of pumps and pond/sprinkler equipment.
Ace Hardware is another spot that carries equipment for the indoor grower. FoxFarm nutes and soils, Hydrofarm lights, heat-mats, etc.
Willow Tree Gardens in University Place carries plenty of local soil mixes, FoxFarm, Earth Juice, and Neptune's Harvest.
The intention is not to bash grow shops, but to show others there are more options. Let's see what hidden gems are around the state.
