Grow Kits!

I don't really feel like reading tonight. I know this should probably go in my journal, but I figure I would post it here and get everyones input. I want to talk about grow kits. I have seen a lot of posts on grow kits and how much trouble people are having using them. I think this is important and should be addressed.
Why we don't need grow kits.
- They usually are sold by people who are giving you shit you don't need.
- They have a very low success rate.
- Everything you need you can purchase at your local hardware store.
- If there is an air pump, or a fish tank heater; you are being ripped off.
I want to make it clear for all the new cultivators out there, that half of the shit that these grow kit vendors are selling you really don't need and can sometimes be harmful to your grow. They don't manufacture these items, so they are buying them and marking them up 40% or more.
Evilmushroom666 has a great PF tek that explains all of the information, and what is needed to start a grow with out all the crap in the grow kits. Bodhisatta will probably comment on this thread, the link to evilmushroom666's Tek is in his signature.
Im opening this up to conversation. I welcome anyone who has used a growkit with success and anyone who has used one and converted.
Mostly I don't feel like reading everyone else's shit tonight.

I think grow kits are something everyone needs to try out for themselves to understand they don't need it

yea, like the little reptile terrariums ones with the stick-up style AA light. jeez...lol. Glad I didn't fall for that shit. I can remember my dad fruiting in-vitro in quart jars back in the early 70's. I found an old Homestead Co. box he must have originally tried out. I remember him making a glove box as well...This homestead box I found in the basement has to be all of 35 years old!!!

I don't know man. I've never had cancer but I don't think I want to try it out once to understand why I don't need it.

Tru that. I was gonna start with a kit but I didn't wanna have to use my credit card to order one. So I got a headshop to order one for me. Except them stoners could never remember to put the order in so, I got fed up and started learning on my own. Still had to wade through a lot of bad info but still got a grow down, then I found the shroomery, started lurking, and really got moving in the right direction

exactly. power to the learning lurker. 
i ordered a kit. but knew it wasnt complete before i even read on. most kits sold online for anything are incomplete. but the concept behind the kit (incubator tub, timers,aqua heater,led lights,marine pump hepa filter, etc,etc.)
semi-steered my research in the right direction. atleast, lead me here

I took info good and bad from all over the net for my first grow. My first FC was a hybrid GH, mono, SGFC monster. I had a decent yield and it was fun but by the time I found the shroomery I had wasted somewhere around $1000 on shit I didn't need.
