considering that a few links in this thread are dead eg. specific eBay auctions and that the same sites came up in a couple threads, i decided to go through all of the links up to date and re-post all of the ones that are still active as well as sort them into categories for easier browsing. i also added a bunch of comparison shopping search engines besides the original froogle post. hope this revised list helps save some time Grasscity's link directory: http://links.grasscity.com/index.php?linkslinks_id=1&PHPSESSID=8597676e0ee4a1138bc451ac79260d61 GENERAL SUPPLIES: Discount-Hydro has a great deal on a 400w lumatek digital ballast & COMPLETE ventilated hoods starting at just $220! http://discount-hydro.com/ ecoenterprises http://www.ecogrow.com/ greenhouseMEGAstore http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/...proi_cid=85B8B0BD-46C4-4AA4-8E93-E54D31A37601 Greentrees Hydroponics http://www.hydroponics.net/items/default.asp Better than Nature http://www.betterthannature.com/catalog/default.php?ref=1&affiliate_banner_id=1 Maryland Hydroponics (check out monthly specials) http://mdhydro.com/ Hydroponics.net http://www.hydroponics.net/ Farmtek (especially for medium style bases that don't need a mogul cord & socket) http://www.farmtek.com/farm/supplies/home Worms Way (comprehensive selection) http://www.wormsway.com/ Alternative Garden Supply (has some good deals on various items) http://www.altgarden.com/store/cart.php HTG Supply http://www.htgsupply.com/\ HydroWarehouse http://www.hydrowarehouse.com/ bettergroHYDRO http://www.bghydro.com/ eBay (for various items from Lighting to Grow Boxes etc.) http://www.ebay.com/ LIGHTING: HID Hut (cheapest digital ballasts anywhere) http://www.hidhut.com/ Inside Sun $80 250w HPS & $90 400w HPS http://www.insidesun.com/index.php?action=item&id=360&prevaction=category&previd=2&prevstart=0 PFO Lighting http://www.pfolighting.com/Grow-Light.aspx 1000Bulbs.com http://www.1000bulbs.com/ & for a cheap ballast kit in particular http://www.1000bulbs.com/product.ph...m=shopping+site&utm_campaign=Froogle+datafeed Dyna-Brite Lighting (more cheap ballasts) http://dyna-brite.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=B elights.com http://www.elights.com/horlig.html e-conolite ($20 150W light with ballast) http://www.e-conolight.com/Product/EFamily.asp WalMart (for CFLs) http://www.walmart.com/catalog/catalog.gsp?cat=561674 LEDs: eLED (sells raw Luxeon bulbs etc. for the DIYer) http://www.eled.com/ Home Grown Lights (affordable DIY systems eg. $44 X 14w) http://homegrownlights.com/ HYDROPONICS: DripWorks http://www.dripworksusa.com/ SOIL: Cedar Grove http://www.cedar-grove.com/ VENTILATION: QuietPC (quiet computer fans) http://216.139.228.207/ GROWROOM & CABINET CONSTRUCTION: Mega-Tech (sheetmetal eg. lighting hoods & ductwork) http://www.megasheetmetal.com/ Filters-Now (activated charcoal filters) http://www.filters-now.com/fxobspec.php#products speaker grill fasteners for false doors http://www.solen.ca/ AUCTION: Police re-po site (??? good idea to buy light from the police?
