I'm currently in the planning stages of a grow room. So far I have everything listed except lights (still undetermined... Led or not to led...) Everything I want for my grow room is online. This is where I am a little hesitant. I know paranoia is a bitch but its there. Would you guys say its ok to order the items from online without any worry or would you suggest something else.

Here is the list that i plan on getting.

Fan is good. I would go for a different tent like a secret jardin. G.g tents from what I hear are just too pricey. The hydro system looks good. If you are handy you can save money and build it .
Yes its okay to order it.

I order on-line, amazon, overstock, monster gardens, attitude seed bank, area51, but have it shipped where I don't grow. Use a stealth PO box to ship seed and grow equipment. Being a little paranoid is not a bad thing. Keeps you on your toes.

The g.g tents are great. I have one and love it. That fan is way overkill for the tent though. I'm pulling barely 300 cfm's from my 4x4 from up top with two 6" passive intakes below and have a lot of negative pressure. Too much. Speed controller would be a must.

first off, I suggest hid. Above Is some quality equipment I would suggest a 600w hid with a blockbuster 6 reflector or something else like it. You need thermometer ph eter etc.. There is still a lst you need.

I was thinking about a Po box. Going to look into it. Won't be selling, aiming for not smelling, won't tell no one.

Thanks for the info on the tent some people were saying over kill. You get what you pay for want a one stop shop that will last me years. I am going for complete odor control and silence. I want no knowledge of the grow happening so I figured a few extra bucks in fans and carbon filter should do the trick.

I was thinking led since from what I have been reading they are less heat intensive, as well as easier on the electric bill. Again going with the side of paranoia I don't need electric company looking at me weird. The thermometer and ph and such is also part of the hydro kit.

That tent is really expensive for what heavier black mqterial?
Can get the sAME size tent for 1/3 the price. Example I bought my agro max tent about 3 years now and It still looks good as new. No holes , no light leaks,sturdy and supports my 600+cool tube+fan+filter+ducting.
I mean it is your money and you can spend it how you like just offering up some opinions.

Also if you are buying the hydro system try building one the same way and see which you like better for the price;)

The key thing for me is the Ir top they have. It may or may not work but in my area there are a lot of flybys with helicopter rather not take the chance. Plus I'm sucker for the pricier thing its a sin of mine. The hydro kit I may not get because my wife loves Dyi stuff so she is going to look into making one for me. I'm not a dyi type of guy when it comes to building stuff unless its a computer.

unless you are burning multiple 1000s in a bedroom you don't have to worry about a chopper flying by.

But hey better safe than sorry I guess.
There are plenty of diy bubbler and dwc systems all on need is the net pots,Rubbermaid bins,air stone and air pump and you are done. All of that should run no more than $50 compared to the $159 they were charging. I didn't even check the gallon size either. But I don't think it was bigger than 30 gal rez

I figured that would be the case. Good thing I'm on here and have you guys to set me straight lol along side my wife this should be fun. If I do end up Dyi I can go a smaller tent since the size i chose was to be able to fit the kit i was getting.

You can go smaller for the 1 system or bigger for more systems all up to you.
What's important is your res. The bigger that is the bigger your plants will get so keep that in mind as well.

Its common sense. You give your roots more room to grow =bigger plants=more buds.
Why you think soil growers uppot o 3-5-10 gallons to the final transplant. Let there girls fill the pots with roots and get monsters.

Sorry I got confused with reservoir where the water initially goes in before going to the buckets with the plants.

I just pay for an annual PO box and use information that does not track back to where my grow is located. That's easy to do. Have your DL address listed at a family members house or work. Make sure nothing leads back to the address of your grow including credit card and bank billing information.

And don't forget to use a VPN when on the computer, tablets, or smart phones. They can track your IP (internet protocol) address easier than a physical address. There is software (virtual private network) that you can get for free (Hotspot), and it will show a bogus IP address to anyone that is looking.

Good luck.

Awesome I have been looking for a Vpn for a while now! I checked with the po box locations they all want 2 forms of I.d... Doesn't that defeat the purpose...
