Talking Good Places to Buy Cheap Equipment!
So I thought it would be helpful for new growers to have a list of potential places to find the equipment they need, at the lowest possible costs. I'm going to go ahead and list some of the places I've thought of/found.

CFL Bulbs: Any kind of dollar stores
(Note - you might have difficulty finding the higher wattages of bulbs)

Computer Fans/Small Fans: Radioshack/The Source, Independant computer stores
(These are tricky, as they aren't as common an item as the others)

Electrical sources for fans: Thrift/second hand stores - find the used electronics bin, look for adapters that output around 300-400 mA, lower than 12V works, just not at full potential.

Box construction materials
, i.e white lining/paint, tape, screws: Again, dollar stores are great for this!

Plastic containers to use as pots: Dollar stores - they have 6000000 different kinds, find something that is the size you want! I've deduced that pots can be more expensive simply because they are a 'pot', when really all a pot is is a plastic container. Although perhaps I havent found the right gardening supply place yet though.



The ones I have had trouble finding are the light sockets, (only desk lamps and clunky, big shite) higher-voltage CFLs, and good soil. I'm looking at starting my first grow, and so if you guys have good, low-key places to share with everyone else, please add them on!

I'd thought of using classified sites to find stuff - the only downside being that you have to be careful of how much you buy and what things you buy from one person.

But otherwise, yes, they're very good
