Buying Nutrients...

[TheMetal1]

I've been looking at some nutrients online, and none of them are available locally. Has anyone ordered any online? If so, good/bad experience? If needed, could I order them through ebay and be satisfied? I can't seem to find if Fox Farm has online purchasing. Any suggestions? Websites? I really don't want to look for Veg and Flower nutes at Wal-Mart or Lowes. Hah. I'm growing in soil by the way. Thanks in advance. Everyone's help makes me :D... now I must :jointsmile: so :thumbsup:

i dont order anything off line i am to paranoid about a paper trail
but if u want to know a store that has an online store that i deal with?

its call Texas hydroponics then put the .com, but they are trust
worthy and there are a few of them in texas so its not just one
hole in the wall place

edit** i just got fox farm and everyone that uses it swears by it

I did some searching and found some places to order online. I think the FF trio would work out well for me. The price isn't too bad either. Thanks for the input. :jointsmile:

I dont want to scare anyone or keep anyone from growing BUT if your useing dail up or dsl to conect to the internet than your service provider keeps a record of your surfing habits for 6 months and if your useing cable, most cable companies keep a record for up to 12 months at the very least get a gift card visa and use a fake name as always take steps to protect your self good luck

I am so freaked out right now. "The Man" knows that I am buying plant food. Umm... I'm not sure what the actual laws are now, since The Constitution is "just a goddamned piece of paper," (according to our President) but I'm pretty sure information like that is worthless in court. And if for some reason I do get a knock on my door for purchasing plant food through a legal website... I will know two things.

1. I am going to have a blast defending myself in court.

2. The War on T_rror is a corporate marketing ploy and an excuse to infringe on the rights of citizens, to keep it from being what it was created to be, "Ruled BY the People... FOR the People???"

Without getting too worked up, because I am very passionate about this... everyone should read the Constitution. Whether our government goes by it anymore or not, it gives you a sense that WE have the power... not THEM. So.... yeah... I'll take my chances. But in all reality, thanks for the concern... now I can't say I wasn't warned. Keep fighting the fight :thumbsup: :jointsmile:

hey dude, i have many of the same concerns as you
my solution is i've rented a PO box at Mailboxe's of America for $65.00 for a year with 24\7 access, then i use a pre-paid Visa to order under the same assumed name as i rented the PO box under.

also, while it's true that our electronic tracks can be followed by LEO if he wants to check, they first have to have a reason to be looking at you. if you are outwardly just a law abiding citizen there should be no reason for LEO to be watching what you buy online.

what would hold me back from buying nutes online is the shipping costs, liquid is heavy man.

there are many growers here from Fla, maybe one of them can point you in the right direction.

you could also send e-mails to the different nute company's and ask where you can find thier products locally

anyway, good luck

Thanks for the input. Those pre-paid cards seem really appropriate for ordering. Seems like the best way to order ANYTHING online. Good looking out on the shipping costs of nutrients too. Liquid is REALLY heavy. I wouldn't have even thought about it. :jointsmile: I like driving too, so I may have to just see what is in like an hour radius of me. Thanks everyone! :thumbsup:

LOL, an excellant reason for a mini road-trip

and really, start a thread (assuming someone doesn't answer your question here) asking for help from Fla growers, one of them has to be within an hour of you so should be able to direct you

good luck man

Research what nutrients you are looking for. You dont need FF nutes to have a sucessful grow. Blood meal and bone meal are great nutrients for soil amendments, so is bat guano, and molasses. If you are buying soil or perlite or nutes, just walk into the store and tell them what you want. Period. They dont need to know you are growing "tomatoes". Dont ask questions at the store. Pay with cash if using a cc bothers you. Farm stores are a great place to find grow supplies at low cost.

The last time I bought supplies, I told them I wanted a bale of promix, 50 peat pucks, and a big bag of perlite. They got my money and I got my grow supplies. No questions asked. And the promix was cheap so I was really happy.

Check out grow forums for plants other than weed. You are not the only one buying nutrients to grow plants. Or soil for that matter. I hope this eases your mind a bit. Try to find yourself a special flower or plant that you like thats not weed, and learn how to grow that too. You will learn a lot from growing other plants too.
