I think this is BS, when I went to the one by where I live there was a lil hippy chick about 19 years old that knew where exactly everything I needed was, was able to answer some of my tougher questions about hydro and they were playing a mix CD that had Jimmy Hendrix and Sublime on it. The people in there know what's up, but cmon, grandma growing her tomatoes and orchids isn't buying a 1000W HID, Can Fans, $2000 climate control setups, big ass carbon air filters and hundreds of dollars of nutes.... or listening to Jimmy or Sublime... Weed growers is how they make their money, trust me, you don't use a 5,000 sq ft warehouse to run a store aimed at tomato gardeners.
