Appreciate the response! I'm just weary of local law enforcement hanging around the hydroponic stores. Thus the extra step of ordering online. But that makes sense on the cash end of things.

I'm with TGG. You've done nothing wrong. I have a hard time believing Ponch and John are across the street writing down the license plate numbers of customers of hydro stores. If you can carry your nutrients you aren' big time. Even dumb ass cops know that.

This sort of thing might have been an issue during Nancy Reagan's drug war, but I just don't believe an officer of the law is gonna waste his time anymore. Now... if you get raided and all your asserts seized, i truly apologize

Fair enough. I suppose I may be acting a little over cautious, but I'd rather think it out then grow willy nilly.

Recently in Texas someone was caught with 8 outdoor grows that were only concealed by tomato plants growing around the garden as cover. I believe he received 25 years. It is still very much in prohibition.

2 oz - 5lb is minimum 180 days to 2 years. So even a few plants will fuck you.

I'm thinking if you use common sense you should have no problems. I personally wouldn't be afraid to use my credit card to buy supplies, or buy from the local shops. Maybe plan the event so you arent going as often if you feel wierd about it. People actually grow vegetables hydroponically sometimes. It isn' t illegal. Even if they caught you red handed with a gallon of House and Garden and pulling a good cop bad cop on you you have nothing to worry about.

Honestly, if you'e uncomfortable with it you may have to wait till you go back to Colorado. I would hate to see someone shy away from growing, but I would feel a lot worse if you took my advice and did 25 years because of your OG tomato

I agree with you Stltoed, intellectually, but I am from a time and place where marijuana laws were used as a political cudgel and paranoia has always seemed a reasonable response to me. A little care pays unknown dividends.

Is the threat real? Yup. Is there a such thing as being over cautious when jail time is a very real possibility? I really don't think so. But I think this lays out the black and white of the situation... is it worth it? Yes, or No. Only Tex can answer it. But in this time, i wouldnt tell someone they never go to the hydro store, or buy something online with a credit card because they are watching. Seriously, who the fuck cares if i walked out with a light and a sack full of Rockwool... I would never care if they did. I'm Just a little guy. If I pull 8 pounds a year this is still nothing. A waste of their time.
If you truly believe you're gonna get a decade, even 6 months for growing weed then wait a couple years. If you have a nice car and a job with a future, and a family, scrub the idea of turning your den into Jurassic Park. Maybe Sessions will grow a heart for Christmas and give us realistic laws for the future... I hear he's kinda going that way. Maybe Tex should just wait. Better safe than sorry. Come back in 2020 The laws WILL change.

hello, liked the ideas I found here so I started my first grow. I built an led with 3 1212's and some computer parts. got a tent, pots and dirt. and I am now 2 weeks into 3 auto's. it is fun to see there growth every day. I got the cobs from cobkits and he was very helpful. I hope everything goes well so I can get into bigger lights. I like building and designing lights almost more than growing. but its all for a common goal...

That is the best advise I've ever heard here. There are some real pricks on this site. No explaination why, it' really sad. To be honest I normally frequent another site because of it. Your a credit to this forum Evergreen

Thanks for the warming welcome! I appreciate it... I have fairly thick skin and feel no shame in lacking knowledge. I'm a firm believer that the only stupid questions are the ones unasked. I will take their attitudes as signs if a more deep and profound personal issue they suffer from. It's just learning to make personal smoke anyways for now. What's the best set up for a cheap 4 plant indoor grow. And all the details along the way lol

Good for you man. I' not hear for attitude so like I was saying I usually go elsewhere.

There are many opinions on grow styles. Just as there are many factors. Without knowing what your options are i would start with soil with a metal halide, high pressure sodium light. Lights are cheap. soil is, well, soil. A large bag of Fox Farm is $15 at the high end. You will need nutrients. The General Hydro trio is a perennial favorite, and cheap.
