My wife and I went into their store knowing I wanted to grow a couple of plants for personal use. We had VERY little knowledge about the whole process and Andrew walked us through everything we needed to know. Not only that but he put together a quote for us with EVERYTHING we needed to get started. We didn't know just how perfectly he hooked us up until we got home and put it all together. It took about only about 3 hours to put everything together (Gorilla Tent, exhaust/intake fans/ducts, lights). His knowledge of what we needed was excellent and his customer service was outstanding as he stayed with us for the whole process and answered every question we had including telling us way more than we even knew to ask. We will be lifetime customers at Grow Generation for sure and we can't thank Andrew enough for getting us started with ease and without making us feel like we were newbies! read more

I recently stumbled upon this store by accident. I needed a smaller part to join my oxygen hoses after being displaced from the Bear Fire in Boulder Creek. I really needed this very small part to be able to get my air going. I thought I was walking into West Marine and taking a shot in the dark that they would have it before checking with the hospital next. After taking three steps inside, I realized I was in a different store! And, very quickly was amazed at the size and selection of farming supplies they had. I was greeted by several friendly sales people; one who showed me to a well organized selection of fittings to which we found exactly what I needed. I was impressed by the size of the store and inventory that seemed to anything and everything you would need to grow healthy plants. Their prices seemed very good too as I am a bargain hunter. Go see for yourself! read more

Josh Melo was the customer representative that waited on my husband on the phone. Before the virus we visited the store a few times and was always impressed with the customer service and fair pricing. Josh was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. My husband told Josh that we only lived a mile away and was it possible to have the order delivered since we have been in isolation for 50 days. He said that he was getting off work and would drop it off at our house. Josh delivered our order and we are so grateful for his service and kind consideration of our needs. We will always recommend Growbiz and shop there for any gardening supplies. Thank you Josh for your kindness. read more

This is a follow up to a review I posted some time ago. At that time I I wrote a negative review as I could not get a faulty product replaced. I had purchased a gallon of Earth Juice and the last half of it solidified. I did not receive compensation for that and wasn't pleased with staff response. I returned recently to the store and talked to Josh Melo, store manager. Josh gave me a new gallon of the product, saying they want their customers to be happy. I AM happy and am very pleased with the customer service provided by Josh. I well return to the store soon to buy more products, particularly TappinRoots, which they sell for a good price. Thanks, Josh! read more

Started going to Pomona location. I don't go to that location because Dominic "Dom" left and went to the Santa Cruz location. Cool friendly guy always willing to share his knowledge. Doesn't steer you to wrong products. You always can buy whatever works for you, but if you ask his opinion he may show you something else. Wants to see the customer happy. Come see this guy!! I haven't been disappointed. read more
