DIDO.1 20,804 Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Anyone any experience with wholesale hydroponics business? I once had a contact for lights and ballasts that had been in illegal grow rooms that had been raided by police....i sold em faster than I could get my hands on em! I recently did a job at a big hydroponics shop and I was amazed how busy they were and the prices of stuff. I'm thinking it may be a good business to have a play with. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 10,774 Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 It's all LED these days mate and sodiums and ballasts are old hat,LED produces a small amount of heat and uses less than half the electric.Find cheap full spectrum light LED's and your'll be half way there but they sure ain't cheap for ones worth using.. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not all about lights mate, they are popping up everywhere because they can sell a bag of compost for £25 and a gallon of plant food for £200, if your going to do it get in quick before the bubble bursts and everyone jumps on it or realises that half the gear is empra ,s cloths and you can buy better for less in the garden centre 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel cain 42,800 Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 The markets all sown up, unless you can source stock for pennies, and sell wholesale you won't be able to compete..... Full set ups on ebay for a couple of hundred notes... My mates had a shop for the last 20 yrs... Most business is done on 'tick', relying on folks coming through and paying their bill at the endAlbanians spend the most these last few yrs, the gooks only use their own shops 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You still wont beat sodiums.LEDs are alright to run alongside sodiums to keep temperature down in the summer but wont produce as much as sodiums when run on their own. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it were me as such i'd take down the tent,stash the stash and just enjoy a nice fruity hassle free,drug deeler free,got to go fecking find a blim free big fat one and do so until i needed to unstash the tent again,part time and only a plant or two won't get you into court,a tent with ounces of dried weed and a few hundred quid in hundred bundles will.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
