look in the phone book and see if you have a hydro shop near you, they will have the potting soil and nutes.
Hey mobay thanks for the response! Everytime I see your avatar I imagine dave chapelle saying "Mobay!" in the rick james voice, like when charlie murphay enters the china club. Anyways, I do I have a hydro shop by me(interior gardens...) and plan to get the rest of the stuff there, besides the dual-fans, 2 grounded timers, and temp./humidity reader which will be at lowes. Once again appreciate the replys!:dance:

EDIT: Went with your edvice Mobay and knocked off the germination station and now just have the tall dome and the rapid rooter tray in the cart.

ANOTHER EDIT: Sorry for more questions but would any heat mat work? I have one used to help with pain that has a low/med/high switch on it, would this work? Would I place this under the tray? Thanks again.
