Indoor Garden Expo.....WOW!

[canaguy27]

So this was my first expo like this. I got a free pass from a hydro shop. My friend and I were walking up and saw people LOADED with bags. I stopped one and asked, "are all those samples?" He said yea and we walked in. Lots of nutes, etc there and lots of free samples to go around. Had to make two trips to the car. My friend and I were loaded down.

People were very informative and nice. Can't wait until next year. Below is my score, and there were people with 3x more than what I had.

Hahaha!

Nice Score!

I was definitely a bit more conservative in my 'sampling' than you, but definitely got a few goodies.

Definitely a good show and lots of cool stuff.

Let's see if TG posts up a pic of his 'loot'. He needed sherpa's to carry the goodies...

:)

I planned to head down but the weather had different ideas. After a quick 6"of wet shee-at in about 3 hours about noon...I was glad I passed on the drive.

Bummed though...some of those samples woulda been nice.

I'm sure TG will put the samples to good work...LOL.

Yeah, that mess was definitely a shocker when we popped out for a smoke. Weird contrast to the weather from yesterday...

I went and it was awesome. Also got 2 1 gallon, a 3 gal, and a 7 gal smart pot, and alot of pens

Weather was 79 when I left, and now theres an inch of snow.

Big score with the full H&G lineup!

Might need to plan trips to san fran and san diego when they go there! I figured $400 in free stuff!

 

[Tripsick]

This looks like the place to go.. was it public? and is it every year?

I didn't raid it as hard as you guys, I just wanted some shirts and only took sample of products I was actually interested in and would actually run (i.e. none of the Foxfarm or Humboldt nutes). I think everyone picked up a sample pack from the DutchMaster booth, but it wasn't because of the nutes, ;-)

My favorite was the older (drunk) rep from HW/House and Garden, dude was cool as hell and hooked it up hardcore! Nothing like FREE Roots Excelurator! Also, I am becoming a fan of Beneficial Biological's Primordial Solutions Sea Green, started using it after the show last year, and I'm hooked as far as organic supplements go!

I went both Sat and Sunday, and this is my third year at one of these trade shows, so recognized a few folks. I did score an awesome General Organics Colorado shirt, and the Mad Farmer shirt I'm wearing right now! (Didn't do laundry this week, LOL)

There were people towards the end bagging EVERYTHING! I saw folks walking out with like 10 bags of soil, digi ballasts, etc. GH had a big display bottle of AzaMax that they weren't giving out as a sample...I saw some wook snatch it while no one was looking, that shit was like a $100 bottle, LOL!

Sunday was the public day. Fri/Sat was vendor/industry days.

It was alot of fun :). I didn't make it until Sun afternoon, and did get some nice samples.

I tried to only take stuff I used, since a bunch of little bottles I'll never be able to tell if worked or not isn't my idea of a conclusive test, lol.

That said, I did get some root excelulator, some pk 13-14, and a couple other goodies.

Later,

Damn, I was thinking with all those Dutch vendors I might have been missing out on some Dutch models.
I just didn't want to get A&B when I walked by Aurora Innovations. Still mad about the RA, and more mad about their 'we haven't heard anything like that from Colorado (pss, act!)'.
