This place is a gem. I'm all about the people and supporting the local guy when I can. This store makes that possible more than not because the items that are a couple bucks more than say Amazon for example are light-years ahead in quality. Really make shopping here for most things a no-brainier. Brian, Adam and the crew here are always friendly and welcoming. They just as soon talk about your grow for 30 minutes and look at your baby pictures than sell a product and it has that no-pressure feel that makes spending money in places like that very easy. Easy because you know the guys are giving you sound advice. Admittedly, I do not use the base nutrient lines offered at the store, but I do not have anything against them. Heavy 16 has shown it's a great product no question. I do however like the variety in accessories, media, and a great selection of odds and ends to keep the mom's happy like Kelp teas prepackaged and ready to brew. They offer all the great microbial inoculates and boosters. One cool thing to see was fans, duct-work and filters. As well a range of Co2 options. All that being said, I would have liked to see some new "real" LED Tech like HLG or ChilLED. I understand it is hard to keep up with a market that changes so quickly but I am pretty confident anything built with Samsung Quantum Boards will be relevant for at least 2-3 years from sales. In Reality they will remain relevant for 10,000 hours of operation and while maybe more efficient lights will come and go but these true deal lights will still be producing some killer. Especially considering that we are still using HPS lamps. read more
