i've been a sog guy since their first store opened in tempe way back when, but homegrown hydro opens an hour earlier so i'm with them now. both places are ok but i think homegrown is stocked better. i must admit i've been annoyed by SOG phoenix sales people more that a couple of times and the homegrown folks have not annoyed me as of yet.

i get up way too early. waiting until 10:00 for a store to open is BULLSHIT!

yah thats pretty true SOG's hours suck balls. They do have a couple employees that know wtf they are talking about at least. There are idiots and inexperienced people at just about every store out there.

Homegrown is pretty well stocked with what they carry but they don't have everything. Also their prices are all about 10% higher than anywhere else and this pisses me off a lot. Everytime I go in there I go to get something I need like botanicare Cal mag or AN bud candy and the price is always a bit too high what the fuck is their problem?

maybe they charge more so they can open at 9! :)

i didn't notice higher prices but even if it is a bit more, i'm going to the store that opens earliest unless it has bad product. another thing that bothered me about SOG is that they were out of things i wanted on 2 different occasions and once when i showed up at 10, there was a sign saying they would be back at noon. i got on the phone and found homegrown, and it's closer to me too. i haven't been back to SOG. if you open at 10, OPEN AT FUCKING 10! assholes

Mursh, you're the recipient of my first post on RIU. Recent transplant to the desert and looking forward to getting my own little tent going in a few weeks. No real point in my post here but I checked out your youtube channel and noticed you were also a Weed Nerd. I'm going to be starting up with some TGA beans. Subcool is a real character and that cat grows some frosty flowers. I've heard great things about the Qush - I'd be interested to hear your feedback.

I've been going to a place Called The Grow Shop for about a year and I have yet to ever be disappointed. Like I said in an earlier post it is a great lil Mom n Pop shop. The owner Kris is always very knowledgeable. And though they have most anything you may need the proprietor has no problem ordering it for you. The place no only caters to MMJ patients but also is very active in aquaponics and all types of growing from growing food to ornamentals. But don't think he doesn't know how to grow some bomb Meds. And it's not commission based like sea of green as the owner WILL NOT STOCK products he thinks are bunk(Though He will order them for you) The best part Is after going there so much I'm getting 15% off my purchases and 20% on My Big orders. Of course grow shops just like growing is personal preference but My preference is to be treated like an equal not some no nothing noob just cuz I have one question(and I'M no noob). So give http://www.Thegrowshopllc.com a try you wont be disappointed.
Good Luck and Good Grow.

Hydroponics Depot hands down,imo... In the past they have given me a free nf line up to try out. Just thed other day they gave me a sample of the Other Tomato a 3 part fertilizer. Then the next day they gave me more sample's of humbolt county's Own (snow storm ultra, and crystal boost). There the shit because even price match other people's prices and specials. Last week (after price matching) i got a new Raptor 8" hood, a Hortilux hps buld, and a Lumatek 1000w dimmable ballast for under 500 bucks. :) :)

Yea that place is always crazy stupid with their prices. We have an acct with SOG Tempe and we tend to stick with them. They are typically about 2-5% over Internet and im ok with that.

I agree with LV.. Homegrown is a nice place and they have a lot of shit but their prices are barely competitive and they dont really match prices and they dont give good customers good discounts nice place and all but SOG will match prices and give you 10% off if they know you well enough, plus those fuckers been here since 94'

SOG in Tucson is always 5-10% under the prices on the internet. They have been tearing up the streets so they have been giving an additional 20% off up till last week. Talk to the short Mexican guy that wears black long sick(like a 90's Chollo) he is a VERY nice guy and will give you a discount on your account if you simply ask him. The internet is killing their business, so just tell them that you found X product cheaper online and they should lower the price to match it. At least that is the company policy here in Tucson.

Edit: i ONLY have been to the 4th street location

I get 20% off at Homegrown. I just asked for a discount after being a regular customer and telling them I could get everything much cheaper elsewhere, but I like their store and location, and they hooked it up.

Cool shit! They only give me 5% a couple times 10% Gonzo Grow always gives me 10% or 20% if I spend a lot and have cash money dollar bills.

If you are in need up Prescott way, look into A-B Hydroponics. Kim is the owner and very willing to provide you with what you need. They are on Sundog Rdl off '89 just north of the VA Hospital. Great Place!

My favorites these days are the grow shop on McDowell the owners mad cool and has hooked me up with some sweet extraction tubes. They aalso the only retailer of coco nutrients. Also she SOG in Tempe because they always price match, usually don't need to and always give me a discount after trying tomes me up with an acct (but i only use cash ). The last shop j frequent is mesa hydroponics, they have the cheapest equipment and the owner is a nice guy, cheapest place for lights and other equipment like fan controllers, hanger, tents, etc.
