Shopping for soil. Is a nursery as dangerous as a hydro shop visit?

lol are u serious? reminds me of the movie Casino with Robert Deniro where they cover there mouths when there talking to keep lip readers from seeing what there talking about or when they have their wives talk on the phone about bullshit just long enough for the phone tappers to stop listening in then they pass the phones over to their husbands to talk business.
thats not being over paranoid at all, it is illegal for the LEO to listen to conversations that dont have anything to do with their investigation, so if for longer than 7 seconds they aren't talking business they can not listen to their conversations, and as for covering your mouths, thats not being over cautious when the LEO wants you they will do anything to get you

Hi that guys buying 10 bails of soil wtf is he doing....

Or thats just what all the ppl that grow dope will think... and who cares what they think fuckers :D

No one will ask what the soil if for go buy it at home depot or rona god dame... mind you Iv only picked up 15 bales of pro mix #4 in middle of winter befor a few time.If your in usa i guess its diffrent store its... HE GROWS DOPE CALL THE COPS.....

a bale or 2 noone will think anything... but if you buy dirt from a hydro store thats just a dead give away... who gose to a hydro store for dirt.... Growers....

Just make sure you have a car port so thows noise naibors wont think anything of thows bails going into the house... unless you have shit loads of house plants and a greenhouse built onto it ...


And if all comes to it.. " WTF Do you care for. my dad needs it for his garden and he aint got a truck"

"whats a guy gotta do to get sum dirty around here show a I dont grow card"
Dont say the last one LOL!
damn i never thought of that.........i get my FFOF soil at the hydro store...damn..

no one is going to ask you anything.

also, if you're just filling in a hole, you should get topsoil, potting soil would be a waste of money :p

I have found myself getting a little bit paranoid buying dirt in the winter, but really nobody gives a fuck, just remind yourself of that.

Good excuse: preparing for spring, soil doesn't exactly expire.

You don't need to be worried about some soil.

However - take caution, be smart, and don't go in and buy all the shit at once, i.e. nutrients lights lightbulbs and soil w/ pots ranging from 1/2 gal to 10gal. The one tip different local growers have given me is never buy anything with the lights, but you can buy tons of soil and nutrients together.
 
just buy it!

just buy it!

i am here buying it all the time and actualy get tips from know-how sellers that grow for them selfs. university life was never better.

If i were a police chief, and my officers were hanging out in front of a hydro store to try to find growers... i would be wasting my budget. I understand your security concerns but think about it... how often do you see the 5-0 sitting on the side of the road in areas that are prime targets for speeding (bottom of a hill, town border speed change)? not that often....

they have bigger fish to fry. the most conservative areas of the country that hate the long hairs... have meth problems in trailer parks to worry about.

quick story. i live in a med state, in a ski town with a high per capita smoker rate. I went into a hardware store, and asked for some 4x8 plywood and what the price difference is for 1/2" vs 3/8". The guy asked me what i was using it for, I said "simple Non-loadbearing construction" and he immediately says "well if you are only building a false-wall, go with the 3/8" "......
I was speechless. then i thought about it, every person building a grow room/box goes to that hardware store.

dont worry. the best thing you can do is not tell a single soul... or move.

peace

There are a ton of politicians on the tv now seriously talking about legalising this stuff. I am serious in my belief that it will be legal in about 3 years.

if you walk into a store with a guilty face on, people will suspect you're doin something wrong.
if you walk into a store to buy soil with the state of mind that nothing you're doing is even remotely illegal - seeing as how people have been planting the earth since we got here - you'll be just fine.
shit, go in there thinking growing MJ is legal, you'll get a calm reaction that'll make it go by seamlessly.

if someone saw me buying soil and asked me what it was for i'm sure i'd make em feel pretty dumb about what they jsut asked me....

example - i'm a painter...and i wear painters pants that are about a year old...people have actually walked up to me in stores and asked me if i was a painter. and i just simply reply, no, i just like all the pockets....

Being cautious and paranoid are two different things. Jesus, just act respectable and don't be stupid it is as simple as that.
 
its a business. they want to sell soil not narc people out. i dont think nursery workers are running to the phone to rat on anyone who buys dirt. :confused:

It is extremely dangerous to visit a nursery or a hydro store. They are the same and everyone could possibly know of your foul intentions.

My advice would have to be to gather yourself a clever disguise like oj simpson or something along these lines. Carefully pace inconspicuously in front of the nursery until you are absolutely certain the coast is in fact clear. When approaching an employee of the nursery for help, under your breath, whisper the secret phrase, "the eagle has landed and is up early for the worms". If he is not the police you will be rewarded with your dirt as this is a foolproof way of catching the fuzz in their ignorant vulnerability.

If the employee looks puzzled my advice is to get outta there fast, shed the disguise, take your 100 dollars, and move to West Virginia to plan your family's future.

Good luck and god speed.
