the dollar stores ( near me anyway ) usually have the 6qts and some times 16 qts, not too many nooks n' crannies. also look for odd-lot's, or big-lots. wall-mart's 16 qts are only 2.50 - 3.50 for sterilite brand, and there fairly smooth. i don't mind the bumps and stuff though. i have a giant utility sink in one bathroom so i just pile the shit in there until my wife freaks then load the dishwasher with it all. she's great
noobie, like shroomzy said flip em' over out of the box but on tin foil and i bet you can get 6 on a shelf plus extra surface area. btw how wide is that gh. i just got one 36" wide by accident. lol and all my subs are only 2.5 qts. i even had to stand one on end because it started pinning on top and bottom. i might do the rest like that if they pin all over. like a mushroom filing cabinet

I've heard a lot of people lately asking about syringe tip caps to cap off their syringes for shipping/storage. I've been ordering from these guys for three years. Good company.

it was only 35$ too. 36" is more than i thought it was. i was on the run when i got it and it doesn't leave enough room in the closet i want it in for the humidifiers to be outside it which is what i wan't but i'm looking to take a break from the cubes and get more into edibles so the extra width will be awsome for straw logs. i should comfortably fit 3 - 16 qt tubs on each shelf for my last cube run just having a little trouble with my spawn now, but, i'm getting off topic.
i'm looking for a vicks v400 but i can't seem to find anyplace that sells it in the store and i'd rather not buy online but if i don't find it soon amazon had one for 32$ free shipping. i've already tried; sears, rite-aid, walmart, k-mart, target, cvs, and walgreens. anybody got any other ideas?
by the way, why would you have to buy the caps seperately. does something happen to the ones that come with the syringes/needles?

Tip caps usually come with syringes from vendors.

Scabbards, not tip caps, usually come with new needles and syringe/needle combos bought in bulk.

When you buy the syringes in bulk, and you want to cap them off for storage/shipment without a needle, you need to cap them off somehow so the solution doesn't spew out. Hence, syringe caps.

COIR in Canada at HOME HARDWARE(LINK)
$8.49 for .53 cubic feet.
I got one a while ago it's about 20 times the size of a small brick, or the size of a small TV.
Expanded it would make almost 5 cubic feet. I've barely made a dent in my brick.

Call ahead, they will have them ready for you.
Also make sure you dry them ASAP or you WILL cultivate a 100lb tub of contams. Seriously.

if u have a petco or petsmart near u stop in once a week if ur passing by to see if anythings on clearance... special sized bags "5 extra pouns" and such go on clearance when the specific company goes back to normal size/weight so u can get those 8 dollar bags of wbs for like 2 bucks. cob for buck and so on... trust me on this my garage has a stack of wbs andmy closet has a corner full of cob... also might as well check to see if the coir is on sale

These are syringe filters than can be use for LC or really any type of jar, coupled with injection ports from:
http://www.labwarehouse.com/lw/singleItem.cfm?terms=5469
I haven't ordered from them yet, but by case they're cheaper than whatman filters. Make sure if you do order from them that you select the PFTE filter media type, it can withstand 500F and more.
So, if any of you are looking to outfit a large amount of jars like I am... I think this is the best buy.

Mini Greenhouses seem to have skyrocketed in price. I just bought one from a guy on eBay for $29.99 including shipping. The Greenhouse was $17.99 and shipping was $12.00
