am i out of line in asking if you have thoroughly researched Do-It-Youself (DIY) options...???

there is ALOT of money to be saved with such methods. just throwin it out there.

 

[JuJu Farms]

Ya I know I've checked I'd rather have someone who knows what there doing make the hydroponics for me. Unless besides that system you know somewhere I can gain money.


I'm going to check LED Girls prices see if i can get them cheaper

 

[hubcap]

honestly, and i dont want you to take this the wrong way..but...

hydro companies make their living robbing potential customers (like us)
they take product that you or i could buy at home depot....
assemble it...
and charge 3X the price.

just because they come pre made doesnt mean you cant make it any better
just because it comes pre made doesnt mean you cant make the SAME EXACT thing for a fraction of the cost.

please consider the DIY approach?
your wallet will thank you, once you really see how easy this stuff is to make on your own.

after all PVC pipes and PVC cement arent any different for them, than they are for us.

 

[hubcap]

that being said...
and with you being in western PA...
you might wanna try out HTGsupply.com
their prices are very competitive and they are located in Pittsburgh, PA so, for you, they are local....

FWIW

 

[JuJu Farms]

thats the place i got all those prices from...


Your telling me stuff i already know.

I want to know if I'm missing anything. I dont mind spending money

[lollipopman]

[JuJu Farms]

well too late for coming off like a douche.

Thanks manic grower i'll add that to the list.

 

[heavydutykevork]

I would say always have back up pumps and a water temp controller either warmer or cooler, and some hot shot pest strips jus in case of a infestation. Peace and Good Luck. HDK

 

[JuJu Farms]

thanks

Most expensive item there are the LED lights. You sure about those? I'm not an LED hater by any means -- I've seen good grows and bad grows with them. Not all LEDs are equivalent, and I'm not familiar with that brand.

 

[JuJu Farms]

Ever since my experiment with the christmas lights I've been sold on LED's XD

I might end up getting my lights from somewhere else. But that's just the quote of price
