Where to buy
the gear
Seed, meters, lights and hydro kits from suppliers we would use ourselves. Nine programmes across four affiliate networks.
2 suppliers
Open-pollinated and untreated seed. These are the suppliers whose catalogue actually overlaps with what this site teaches.
3 suppliers
Indoor hydro kits. Useful if you want a second system alongside the Desktop Kit, or a smaller one for a windowsill.
3 suppliers
Meters, lights and containers. A pH and EC pen is the single most useful purchase after the kit itself.
1 supplier
Everything else. Low rate, huge catalogue.
Disclosure: links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy through one, DarkGrow may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Suppliers are listed by usefulness to a small indoor grower, not by commission rate. Nothing here is a paid placement.
What gear actually holds up?
Meters that drift, lights that disappoint, kits worth the money. Real reports from people running them.
One email when there is something worth reading
New varieties, seed-saving notes, and corrections to the reference tables. No sales, no fixed schedule.
