Well...Please dont start alot of flaming an all but I just have a few things to say then questions...First off I'm afraid to buy the proper materials I need such as a light, nutrients, soil etc. Because what will the people at the cash register think if I buy all the materials needed to grow marijuana? First off I'm black (lol) I'm not saying that, that's gonna make a difference but picture it. I'm at the cash register getting ready to buy all this stuff plus I dont look like the type of guy that would be using it for something rightous..How would I go about buyin' this stuff without people being suspicious of me?

buy it from diff places or at diff times.. and always use cash so theres no paper trail leading to you. most people wont really care what your gonna do with what you buy anyway, so its cool..

Orangeman, that's good advice to buy like that. And, I know how it is, especially if you're just getting things together; it's like, I bought my lights on Ebay, and worried about it, but then you get to thinking, man, how many transactions for growing supplies go through that place, or even through this one dealer that I purchased from, and to my way of thinking, although I think you can never be too careful, there just ain't no way all that equipment's gonna' be tracked.
But, to be honest, I do feel better just heading into the big city and buying things from my friendly hydro center; but, you think about that; it's just a small shop that could be under surveillance 24/7, so really, you get to thinking about it, there really ain't no completely safe way to buy everything, except maybe if you just had someone do it for you, and then you still have a link to yourself.
In the end, I don't think anyone gives a rats; there's just too much money made off of the "hobby" to bother anyone with what they're growing or why, and you also have to realize, there are a great number of people out there that do grow all kinds of things hydroponically & under lights too.
Good luck !

follow drago's advise use cash cause i read on hear that the police or fbi or some organization looks at purchases made and any out of the ordinary purchases plus if they combine the fact you have a electricity reading that you noramlly dont have and they have a bill from your purchases at stores dealing with growing they can put the two together to build a stronger case againsts you

Buy a pre paid credit card and order online. No names have to be involved. Have the stuff mailed to a buddy's house or else order it all to your place and then sit on it for a few months b4 starting.

No,the one here is run by MJ smokers,so I'm lucky...What state are you in...I look like a stoner even when I try not to.Which never really happens because if they have a problem with it,I'll take my bussiness elsewhere.But pay cash...go to a hydro store if you can find one near you.They expect us at those shops.Shit if it wasn't for us they'd go out of bussiness ,so they should be cool and give you a deal if you buy it all at once.
If you don't want to mention MJ(actually your not supposed to mention it) say your growing tomatoe plants(similar needs as MJ)And if they are trippin tell them you are starting a indoor vegtable garden and you want it to be organic so you figured indoors would make it easier to avoid pests and mold.Tell them you're going on a health kick for the new year.
I'm way to good at lying. :dance:

If you're a small grower I wouldn't worry about it. I worked at a Menards for 2 years before college and enough customers purchase flourescent lighting with other miscellaneous items, such as fertilizer, that no one will blink an eye. As long as you're a small time grower there should be no need to worry about it.

I actually used to do alot of setups for people a while back and would pay with credit cards and checks all the time. Never ever got bugged by anyone even though sometimes I'd purchase enough to light a hundred plants.

Where you should be concerned is if you're a large grower. If the police or FBI catch on in any way, they may monitor your credit card activity. That's when it gets a little sticky.

Just buy some seeds or plants with it, they'll think you're growing those.

cash. seperate transactions for items at various different locations. Dress the part...if your buying gardening related items..wear some jeans and a raggy t-shirt with a bit of dirt making it look like your a landscaper or just a gardener. At the end of all of this...your just another customer buying a random thing in the store to the clerk..i've worked a cash register before..gets quite boring after a few hours...dont notice a damn thing. just take the money and give a reciept
