I have just been sending emails to various suppliers.

I get many coupons for regular stuff like drinks etc by simply calling or sending an email.

I paid 10.00 for a bottle of Cal-Mag on ebay and recently found out someone got it as a free sample then sold it.. What a load of c!@p man!

Anyway, here is the standard email I've been sending out to the various nutrient manufacturing sites. I am actually in the market for a good supply and the actual request is true. Just visit various nute manufacture sites and view the contact page to get the email address. Sign up for a free gmail account if you want to keep it separate from your personal email and create a simple template email message and save it to a notepad text file then send it to all of the manufactures.

"Hello, I am currently growing tomatoes, various peppers, cucumbers and squash in several indoor deep water culture hydroponic tanks.

I have been using "insert competitor" nutrients but the cost is becoming prohibitive and I am looking for a new, comparable product to use long-term.


I would like to know if it is possible to obtain a small sample of your hydroponic solutions for vegetation and bloom.

There are several youtube videos. I'm new to growing so I didn't know most of the companies by name. I got the names from some of the videos and searching the forums.

Here is one video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4vyb0s8SGU , check the related ones also, they mention some names of who gives what away and what to expect as a sample.

Good luck!

Advanced nutrients has a site you can apply, but they only send 500/month. they reach capacity fast.
As for getting free stuff, i've just begun asking companies for samples and what not, so far i've scored-Secret Jardin-DR150w(half price), free 4 ft t5ho, free 1L xxxtractor bags (bubblehash) and 15% discounts almost everwhere I shop online. All you need to do is ask lol. No harm.
