i get all me nutes in centra!

I loled in real life. But I'll tell ya what, I reckon Woodies DIY is MADE for home growers. CFLs beside soil testing and PH test kits, with vermiculite and "tomatoe" plant food just down the aisle. Hmmm, methinks they are laying out their stores for the average stoner home grower...

Peace

I tell you what I've noticed recently, the US guys seem to pick up bits and pieces for next to nothing from those stores! Daylight spiral CFL's (the 6400's) for example..... its hard to find the bloody things locally over here and when you do they want a fortune for them.

Over here its B&Q's for your bits and pieces, Pet City for your pump/airstones etc, local garden centre for your soil/pearlite etc, even a trip to Ikea maybe for your plastic storage boxes (tanks!), self assembly stealth units etc... right pain in the arse

Yeah wodies is great, its only 1 minute walk from my house, i remember i asked them for perlite one time when they diddnt have it in stock, one of the new staff was like " what are you growing with it?". i diddnt know what to tell em... ehh... ehh.... plants. and walked off. felt seriously stupid.
I diddnt know woodies stocked ph testers, i must inquire about this, i know b & q have cheap ones for about 20 euro..

If your after cfl's cheap try these, i originaly payed £2 each for these from wicks, then found the fukers in netto for 49p each, don't worry i got all my money back from wicks, with some craftyness there selling em in wicks now 3 for a £, ok there not the best cfl but cheap as chips at the moment.

And danny about when you went to woodys and they asked you what you wanted it for.. i went in a well known petshop, for some pH calibration fluid, like yea my fish are dying n i need to Ph my tank water, ya know i thought it out just incase they asked, 1 guy goes to get it and the other guys straight onto me, telling me about his grow n shit lol, i stuck to my fishtank story for about a second n just told him yea my plants are unhealty lol, funny thing is the other guy comes back with a few dif bottles asking which ones i needed and the other guy picked em out for me, then goes goodluck with ya fishes

Cheers Baz, but it was specifically the newer 'blue' spectrum (6500kelvin) of CFL I was after and theyre hard to find. Anyway, managed to find em for less than £6 each on the link below...30watts energy savers = 150watt. Mixed with the CFLs in the warmer white spectrum (2700's) they give full spec light ideal for vegging and produce little heat. Theyre only 6" long unlike those bulky envirolights! You can whack plenty of them in a small space
30 Watt S.A.D Daylight Spirals (150 Watt Equivalent) :: Daylight Spirals :: energy saving light bulbs

Heres an nice graphic example of the differences in the spectrum:

[Baz]

Yea more than likely lol, is woodys like a small buisness with a few chains, because the only woodys diy i have ever seen is in filey nr on the east coast, and it was a smallish shop

Hey UK'ers! I would like to see one too even though I'm in Nevada. It's interesting to hear what you guys go through, what types of supplies that available, etc.

I have one question... Who started the skunk rumors over there? We'd been smoking skunk for years and WTF? Anyway... good luck and I hope they hear your request!! Cheers!
