I've gone to a couple of different hydro shops in my area. At first it was wierd, but the next couple of times I felt more comfortable, like you guys said, its kinda understood that people shopping here are growing weed, but you just don't come right out and say it. I recently bought some odor control at my shop and thought "hmmm, I think my tomatoes are stinkin up the place, I better buy some odor control" Ha! Anyways, it was great to find out about these, and not having to resort to home depot. Although, what do you guys think about the safety of shopping at these places? Should I be worried about someone watching who goes in and out of these places? I would hope that the cops have better things to do than sit outside hydro shops and follow people who have bought things for their small time grow,but you never know?
