I am amazed on how amazing this shop is. I have watched 200 YouTube videos on growing and was given more information in 5 mins then I had ever watched. Man the guy who helped me is so bad ass. He knew exactly my problem before I could even say(just by nute line-up). I totally recommend this shop for all growing needs. read more

I am a new grower. I went into Sow Cal Hydroponics about a month ago and was greeted by Chris. I asked him a question and soon realized that Chris is a book of knowledge. He explained in great detail every question I asked and even suggested solutions to improve the health of my plants. I ended up asking a ton of questions! I bought a bunch of nutrients, soil, pH product that Chris suggested and went home loaded with stuff for my plants. The results speak for themselves. My plants are now healthier, have grown a lot and are looking really nice. Prices are very reasonable when compared to other hydroponics stores in the area. Sow Cal Hydroponics is a legit business!...and Chris is hands down the most knowledgeable and kind person when it comes to taking care of customers. Ricardo O. Huntington Beach resident. read more

This is the best shop in California the owner is very professional and knowledgeable always answers questions and has great prices

Easily the best shop anywhere around here. Super knowledgeable owner and very helpful.

Just went here a few min ago, searching for random hydro shops in the area. The other two closed down so I stopped in here. First off, the store is dirty as hell. There is literally shit piled everywhere, no organizational system in place at all. It looks and smells filthy inside. Was greeted by no one while the owner was speaking to someone else, no hi anything I can help you with. There are no prices listed anywhere, so I would've had to ask him about everything. There are no signs as to what is what. This store makes the medical marijuana community look sloppy and disgusting. What a horrible way to represent our community. It looks like an unorganized garage sale. Look elsewhere!!!!!! Looks like he collects used products from failed grows and resells them! Disgusting!!!!!!!!! Beware!! read more

This place sucks !Smells awful, clustered lay out, expensive pricing. The dude who runs it is so unhelpful. Thought hydroponics shops were supposed to promote knowledge on growing greener. read more

Super helpful and knowledgeable, talk with Chris which pointed me in right direction. definitely will be coming back

Chris is a kind wizard who will baffle your mind if you talk with him for more than a minute. He offers a wide array of products, synthetic and organic, to address every garden need. He clearly knows what he's doing and isn't put off by inquiring minds. I would definitely recommend this location to any novice grower or seasoned grower. read more

This place is badass... I've been here like 10 times in two weeks... Every time I go in there for something they always help me give me more information than I wanted at that time... which has it been extremely helpful...i'm just a beginner but these guys are pros... All their advice I have taken and I have no complaints. read more

I'm a first time grower & have had my plants for about 3 months now and have been so overwhelmed by everything that comes with growing; nutrients, type of soil, the fact that I'm growing outdoors, how to give them nutrients, bugs & pests, etc. and for the first time since I started I felt like I was in good hands and could produce some great herb when I spoke with Chris and quickly realized how knowledgeable he is when it comes to EVERYTHING about growing (not just marijuana). My favorite part about this store though is that instead of selling nutrients they bought from a company Monsanto bought out to customers, they are giving away the same product but from a different company for free so Monsanto doesn't profit from their store. Not only is he a genius that can answer any question you have but they've stayed true to what they believe in even if it hurts them financially and to me that is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time! I love this place!! read more

Great team and shop! Owner Chris is the best, really friendly dude. They stock the best hydroponics nutrients, Cutting Edge Solutions. Jeremy is super friendly. Thanks for the help and knowledge guys! read more

This shop is legit! Chris is hands down the most knowledgable person I have met yet in the 2yrs I've been in the industry. Chris and the people at sow cal hydro are more than will to give you solid straight up advice and turn you on the right direction. I used to shop at the "big chain" hydro store and was told forty million different things to do and ways to do it. I went into sow cal hydro thinking I knew what was up and learned quickly that there is so much more that goes into a good quality garden and that there are highly educated and well versed people that are willing help in the right way. Thank you Chris for all the love Atomic nutrients all the way!!! read more

Chris Lopez is a manipulative and dishonest person. He's the weed dealer at the corner of your street who hasn't figured out the concept of repeat business. I gave him a budget for a system that I said had to include everything from beginning to end, and he asked for a deposit for it. I gave him a money order and I told him that I had to go over the rest of it with him before I handed him the rest of money. When I showed up with my truck I repeated the list of everything that had to be included, such as meters, filters, reverse osmosis, curing equipment,nutrients, he kept making excuses as to why he couldn't go over the list with me but acting as if everything would be included, and after we had finished loading a whole bunch of things on to the truck and many things were not included, I refused to hand him the rest of the money until my entire list was complete. It became quite clear afterwards that he had been playing a game. read more

Good selection , service and supply, thanx to the well informed staff

THe worst hydro store of all time. I hate this place,. i'm never going back, This drug front is not fooling anyone. The Owner is an asshole and the entire time i dealt with him he was rude. Everyone hates this place, no one wants to even be seen walking by there. Nothing is ever in stock. No help ever, Never open (well i guess that's a good thing). I hope this place closes down. If you want to have toilet paper handed to you as a receipt this is your store. They have no POS system. Everything is handwritten and avoids tax. No computers, no records, No inventory stock. All the Nutes are old and are rotten. Atomic is a rip off of grow more and charges 3 times more. Mold on the bottle caps, Bug spray in the Brix Mix, Dirty store, When i asked how much was the total took 20 min because they cant ring up items. They need to look it up out of a catalog book and i guarantee that i was over charged. The Owner is a drug addict and is incredibly slow. Also unreliable. This place is a health hazard. It should be condemned. I have never given a bad review toa place in my life but this place is so bad that it is my first. Go to a quality hydro store nearby if you live in the area. sTAY AWAY FROM HERE!!!!! read more
