Here's a great source for all your growing needs. I was just put up on it by a friend that has used it 3 times. They have some excellent deals, especially if you;re just starting out. http://www.propertyroom.com/searchre...54&PageIndex=3 |

Thats done here in Canada all the time. Ive heard of multi-generation lights that were seized, sold, re-seized, sold, and re-seized again.

Ya I don't think I would be buying my gear from a police auction.But looking through the link,there are lots of other great items in there,8g ipod touch $50,lots of cheap electronic items,camera gear etc that I would be interested in.But like ShroomGuerilla said,buying seized gear is just too sketchy... Hi my name is.............,I would like to purchase all your siezed grow gear,,,,But, you won't come bust ME once I am up and running would you Osifier?...NAW...

i guess you could have a square buy your gear and ship it to a safe addy, then move it to your grow spot .... i'd still be sketched out by it

Looks like one of those dummy sites set up for dummys.It might be different if your a legal card holding med user but if my bud that does not have a legal med card told me he ordered some grow lights an such off a Police auction site id call him a idiot.

I would be very circumspect, fer sure. Maybe use a prepaid card and the library puter, take delivery somewhere else... And make a trial purchase first... For DAMN sure not leave ANY trace to me. Catdaddy

If something looks too good to be true,Chances are,It Is.Yes the prices are great,,,"there's the hook".OOOOooo...only one day left,,and it is only $10.00,,,"there is the line".....purchase made...your sunk....Ya,def not something I would purchase from my home,sent to my home,by me with any of my cards.But there are some great deals on that site,roamed around for like 10 mins or so through the electronics.But I doubt I would buy Anything from an online police auction.

I good friend of mine has bought alot of lights from there and has a huge garden, one of the biggest I have ever seen and hasn't had a problem one. I think pot definitely makes people paranoid though. But be my gueast and run right down to the hydro store, they never watch those places.... Last edited by joluvs2gro; 02-09-09 at 15:38.

I am sorry but Police Auction...and...Hydroponics are not two words that I see myself repeating too many times. As for your state legalizing for medical use,,,,Do YOU have a prescription? If not you still have to worry.Or at the very least be cautious,or somewhat smart about where you get your gear from. Sorry to hear you live by a scamin hydro dealer..Doesn't mean there all bad though.There Not.I think I would still have a little fear in the back of my mind about the UPS worker making minimum wage.No that not paranoia from smoking pot,that's just me keepin my ass outta jail...FOR SURE...not thinking,,do those police auction guys have my name and address on file,does the minumum wage emplyee from UPS who is struggling to make ends meet trade your info to the police for rewards,,,just shit I know I would have running through my head if I decided to venture down that path.At least if I go to a store,and say use another persons car,,,Love that mcgyver shit.And pick up the stuff myself,,,,the only thing I have to worry about is am I being followed,And a few left hand's turn down a concession road will fix that.More MCgyver shit. So you go get your gear from the Police Auction,and send it to some other person who you have no connection too,now possibly putting there name on the line,or possibly may now be put on a watch list.And enjoy it too I guess. Besides that McGyver Rocks.,,.

Honestly though,,,the best way to get your gear is to go to a few shops a few time's.Don't buy shit,just look,ask questions,and get to know the owners.The decide which store to purchase from.Then ask the owner if there is a way he can meet you at a time and place.Have him bring it home with him,since it is part of his business,it is not unusual for a lot of these store owners to grow vegetables at there own homes.I know the old guy I get my gear from does.He grows the best mini tomatoes I have ever seen.And most/not all will have no problem accommodating your needs.I know on my last trip into the store spending as much cash as I did,if the owner was not going to accommodate me,I had a list of others that would gladly pack there cube van and meet me where ever I asked them too.And I could do this in My car,and not put any one in danger but myself.Now if your only going for a small item like a light bulb,or some nutes....whatever...no need for delivery..but lights,ballasts,hoods,rails,light movers,buckets,soil,nutrients,clone trays,and so on and so on and so on,,Ya delivery all the way....NOT UPS..

Hello my fellow micotopians....... I hope you all are having a good day/night. IMO If I decided to order from them, I would buy it under a different name and have it sent to an adress other then where you grow. But I would/will not order from them because I do not want used lights that may not even work or you have to spend the time re-wiring it wich could end up being a fire hazard if you dont know what you are doing. But what about ebay? They have decent priced 400+ watt lights with ballast for $150+. Brand new and they offer a warranty I know they are not the best on the market but wont they work for a newbie light?

I am using the big cfl's and I build my own hoods anyway. I was just trying to help out. I know a guy that has been buying lights from that site and having alot of success. I wouldn't just send everybody there if I thought it was some bullshit, that's offensive to me.

Cannabis isn't the only thing grown under lights, so there is no reason why they shouldn't sell confiscated lights. It'd be kind of cool to buy up a bunch and turn them on in my basement where my orchids would be thriving. Then you'll know soon enough if they hid a GPS tag on the light/ballast or of they followed you to the address and illegally used FLIR. You'll get your door kicked in, but after raising hell at city hall and continuing to grow orchids (maybe having your door kicked in a second time even), eventually they will know you as the crazy orchid grower who likes to entice LEO into illegal searches so he can sue the department every time. Flaunt it for three years or so; spin that meter as fast as she'll go! When you are finally nothing more than the eccentric local annoyance, sell those orchids and grow the hell out of some bud, still spinning the meter as before.

No actually I do not own a hydro store,LOL would be nice though.And as TVCasualty said,pot is not the only thing grown using this gear.So buying from a real store should not be a problem.Also like he said,sure use it for a year or so and grow something else,but we all know your not going to do that.Sure your link has some great deals.But you need to ask yourself if buying from the police auction,having ups deliver,using fake names addresses,etc is really worth all the bullshit,or the RISK.I guess it is more pot smoking paranoia when people say things like mabee there is an RFID chip attached to your newly purchased grow gear.Lets just say they did bust in on you,and at the time you were growing orchids or tomatoes,Nothing there right.Cant charge you right,Of course not..But now they are pissed for sure,and don't think for one minute the cops Don't know that trick,you will be watched even after the unsuccessful raid.All they need to find is one roach,one gram,one pipe,or pack of rolling papers and they KNOW you smoke,and they will then know what your plans are with that gear.You can tell yourself otherwise,and continue to think that buying gear from the enemy is a GREAT idea because you will save a few dollars.Or you can smarten up,take some good advice,and not buy your gear from a police auction.Or go a head.P.S.If you live in a huge city what the hell are you worried about besides being cheap.And your spore theory is bust too,They are legal...We all use them for microscopy purposes as the vendors say.Hydro store failing..Not likely,,,not unless people like you start to buy there gear from sketchy police auctions..

Would this be of any use? 400W Pulse start high bay or low bay fixtures for around $110 http://www.e-conolight.com/Product/E...ductFamilyID=8 They also have the 8-lamp T5 HO low bay fixtures for about $150 with cord/ plug connection and lamps: http://www.e-conolight.com/Product/E...uctFamilyID=31 Buying at a police auction is like shopping at a pawn shop. You are paying rock-bottom dollar for some poor individual's possessions. Let the police use their gear to start their own operation. I'll seek other sources for equipment. |

I have since found that craigslist is almost a better option, big factories and sit are getting tax breaks to switch to fluoros so they are selling there metal halides dirt cheap, they work great and last forever, you have to do a little work with them but it's not bad. Hang them vertically with no reflector, strong fan on them and you're good to go.

Lamp temps are offered in 3500K, 4100K, and 5000K. If you look over at Sylvania lighting for bulbs, they have some very high lumen output lamps in the 3500K scale which put out more lumens than a stock bulb. If you buy by the case lot, you'll get a better deal on lamps. A standard ballast can't push these lamps very well but the HO (high output) ballasts in these fixtures can do it easily. | |
