So ive been looking at a good deal on a HPS 600 watt from HID hut, and now that I have the cash i want to order it. I was going to order it a few days ago, but I have this paranoia that has been holding me back.
In the growbook I have been reading says that certain task forces may track orders like this from vendors like this and investigate or something??! Even if you pay in cash or money order they still have your adress..

Am i just being paranoid or do I have good reason for concern? Do you guys order your lites from places like this to your own house without any "problems"
Please help me out
any reassurance or warnings or feedback whatsoever is greatly appreciated!!

even if you have a permit 2 grow or not i would advise never to order to the house you plan on growing at.

Thousands of people have lights delivered. The odds that you interest anyone are very low. A good many have equipment delivered right to there grow area, usually their home. But if you are that worried why don't you get the lights delivered to another address.

I would just order the light and not lose a minute of sleep. Now do it and become one of us. Let the force be with you. The age of buying weed is over the dawn of growing your own is upon you.

Then you can concentrate on becoming a seed hound and grow dank from your own genetic library that you assemble from THCFarmer.

DO IT!!!

Thx guys, for the quick and enthusiastic replies! Feeling reasurred now....
Exept before i checked this post i went to local home improvement store and bout a 150 watt hps outdoor light.... If this works right the plan was to get a few for of these and just use these... I hooked it up and everything exept that it says it must be grounded and i have no ground wire cause im indoors, not out...
So wat if I took a copper wire, attached it to the green ground screw of the fixture, and the other end into the ground part of a normal electrical outlet? would this ground it and make it safe? or is this too much trouble for an inexperienced electritian to go through ( I cannot risk fires or electricution lol)
So should i go through the trouble of getting more of these lights and making sure they are properly wired, or should i return the light, and just go with plan A which is buying the 600 watt HPS from HID hut? I think i would be comfortable doing that.
Thanks very much for your help. Eagerly looking forward to joining the community!

600w use the 150w as a veg/seedling light or return it.

yeah i agree with the 8th man there, or a 400w does the job and doesnt use as much electricity. that is what i use. 400w hps for flower, 400w MH conversion bulb for veg and a T5 floro for my seedlings

What I can tell you about ordering from HIdHut is that the box will have the owner's name on it as the "shipped from:" rather than mentioning anyhting about 'hydro'....

buy that bitch and get to dankin'!

legal or not there will always be times of paranoia at least it seems that way.
From LEO, Pest, Rippers, Home invasions, and Coming home to a burned down house. "smoke alarms and fire extinguishers and always know your exits."
Power Bill stress

When they ship you grow tent with a large picture on the side and neon print that say Grow Tent.

All kinds of things to stress over,

Its a great hobby once you get past all this...

Don't forget to get a carbon filter its better to have it and not need it before you do.

ill say this....skip the lowes & home depot stuff. i speak from experience. i went out, spent a decent amount of money (over a grand) and ended up trashing it and going straight to a hydro store for everything.

get yourself a 600w if you are doing a personal garden. its the most lumens/watt. get yourself an inline fan to cool it. i vented into my attic and had no problems with smell, but to be safe, you could hook up your carbon filter to your light then to your fan to vent and rid the smell at the same time.


i got almost a pound with a single plant, SCROG, 5 gal bubble buckets and LUCAS formula on my 1st grow ever. i vegged for a good 6 weeks into the screen then flipped the lights. used flouros from lowes the 1st 4 weeks then hit them with the HPS 600 for 2 weeks before switching to 12/12. i dont think you need the MH conversion bulb for veg at all.
