Good Store, Ridiculous Prices!

Stopped in organically grown earlier this summer,There was a spanish kid there working the register.We got on the subject of MMJ and he wanted to sell me 30 clones for 300 bucks.I don't think he was the owner but WTF!He didn't even know me.Besides the prices on soil and just about every other thing in the store being more than all the other stores around.I just got a little tweaked figuring if they have an asshat like this working here I'ld have to worry about getting pulled over when I leave to see if I bought grow supplies or plants.Don't get me wrong I think it's a beautiful thing to shoot the shit about stains or grow advice {if they were actually in the know and not just regurgitateing something they read in the latest HT Mag}But your not going to be in business too long with morons like this.R.I.may be compassionate,but not when it comes to DEALING out of shops I guess we would have to see just how compassionate our AG is.LOL

I bought my second light at Organically grown. I was in an emergency situation as my very first light was a loaner from a friend, was an oooold 100w hps flood lamp or something and just didnt turn on one morning. My 1st run, poor little diseased, mite infested plants needed light asap! lol I was so foolish back then. I should have just threw them in the trash and called it a day until i could buy some real equipment. But I didnt, so I took my 260 bucks and rushed to the closest store, organically grown. After even letting those plants live, going to this place was my next mistake. Walking in I found the store very poorly light with what seemed to be a light patina of age on everything, kinda like an old library or your dead grandmothers house. I met the two brothers who were behind the register catalog surfing and explained my situation to them and told them what i was looking to spend. They proceeded to sell me a sunsystem 250w hps with a built in ballast for 230 bucks and then i forked out another 30 bucks because it didnt come with a bulb. They insisted this light was the way to go...I guess...for a dorm stealth grow. Now I fully agree that in some degree it is my responsibility to have some knowledge of what im doing but hell if I cant get good info from my local grassroots specialty store where else can i get it. The least these two could have done was tipped me in to the fact that i had to spend another 30 bucks for a flange kit. Anyway I just found the overall experience to be a bust. I wouldn't shop there again. I shop at good to grow now and I like it just fine. They have a large selection, the store is well lit and the staff is always at least average to well above average in the knowledge department, I have gotten a few good tips from those guys.

This is a old thread so I'm not going to back read to much. This place sucks, the staff are rude and read to talk you into products you don't need. I would not recommend them to my enemies!
