Im just a newbee here, but id say your BEST bet would be to buy from a local hydroponic store, i looked around awhile for some, and the best price was at the store WITH warranty, insted of you cities online pawnshop, if theres a hydro store here im sure there will be one there

Me too! What i did was put all my shit on a credit card. I can afford the $10 a month minimum payment. Then, when harvest time comes, pay the credit card off.

I view it as an investment that will return exponentially.

That's fine and dandy, except I'm at like 499.20/500 on one, and like 2399/2400 on the other.

Before I got my first, I told myself I'd only use it for stuff I'd ALREADY buy anyway, and just pay it off.

...2 months and 300 dollars at Wawa later...
...5 months and like 800 dollars later...

...yeah

Thats exactly what i told myself. But i actually follow it. I use it on gas, food, and other shit, then pay them bill every month online. Basically i have them to build my credit so i can get a good mortgage when i get out of school.

Well, a huge portion of what I charged was food, textbooks, and gas. It's just the "little "100 bucks here for a strip club and all the trips to wawa (expensive food) that add up.

gotta control yourself.

I understand about the textbooks though. Those get insanely expensive. I had to steal m $200 biology book this semester cuz i couldn't afford it.

Haha... really, only like 500 was on textbooks for the 3 semesters I've started since getting the card. I get by without them when I can, but sometimes it's just not an option. This apartment tacked on like 800 for food, but you gotta admit... since that covers mostly everything since August and we eat damn well (fish, steak, chicken, etc 5-7 nights a week) it's cheap. And gas was like 50 bucks a week all summer =p
