Pacific Coast Hydroponics

I went into your store and was very pleased with the service I received from Andrew Flores. He was very helpful from the start and helped me through
my entire visit.

PCHydro has everything you need including Fox Farm soil. An employee immediately greeted me and helped me find the items I needed. Was in and out of there in less than 5 minutes! I’ll definitely be back for more plant stuff.

I always leave Pacific Coast Hydroponics with a big smile. This is an awesome hydroponic store. Low competive prices are the main reasons why I drive far to come here. All my big purchases have been made here. This is the place to get the best price on Fox Farm soil. Lots of nutrients and additives to choose from. I think all the guys here are great consultors on plants and trees. I also like that i can park in the front for when Im in a hurry or I can park in the back for when I want privacy. Its also conveniently close to 405 freeway. I am an honest and loyal person and I always reccomend this place to my friends and family.

First Tim I went to PC hydro they had amazing service! They answered all of my questions and even gave us some good tips! Good prices! Will definitely return!

We highly recommend PCH! Anthony and Sid are SO helpful and always willing to answer our questions.

Chris and crew are the bomb, are very knowledgable on all sides of plant production. Not to mention they have the best prices and service in town!

I was pleasantly surprised when I called to explain the problem with my plants — Andrew answered the phone, and he gave me information freely — this was BEFORE I was a customer — how rare!
When I went in, he treated me with respect, he was polite, he was helpful. PC Hydro will have my business for life!

Found the staff a little
condescending, I’ve been growing since ’65, so I have some experience, doesn’t matter they pushed me towards products that were inferior
And higher priced. I’d only go again if an emergency. Look elsewhere.

This review is based on vegetable, not weed, gardening. Supposedly, the owner here is helpful and knows a bunch of stuff. In the four times I’ve been here, I’ve never seen the guy although I wish I had.
What I have experienced is several interactions with guys who seemed stoned out of their mind guys who can’t even remember that they told me exactly the opposite the last time I was in there. One time, they convinced me to try one type of nutrients for growing tomatoes and peppers. Next time, same guy, says, oh dude, don’t use that, it has a bunch of arsenic in it. Use this other stuff. Hey, thanks man, for (a) selling me poison and (b) not telling me about it. The new stuff is not appropriate for the same equipment they sold me previously, so, it caused clogged lines — thanks bra!
On another occasion, one of the burners who works there forgot he was in the process of selling me about a grand worth of equipment and went back to mopping the floor. It really was comical. They are not bad guys, they’re just way too high.
If I were just growing weed then these guys would be fine — it is an easy crop to grow and I’m sure these guys have plenty of experience and would be happy to roll one for me. But all the advice I received has been either useless or contradictory or both for indoor vegetable gardening.

Bad attitudes here from the manager guy. like you are interrupting his busy day to spend your money there
I asked if he could ring me up because the other employee was dealing with somebody and on the phone etc. I had been at the counter waiting a few minutes… guy comes out of his little office I ask if he can ring me up (oh yeah, no prices on anything there, buyer beware) and he says «why? you in a hurry?»
fucking asshole attitude… as it was yeah, parked at the meter and had maybe a few minutes left… but what difference does that make… should I wait longer?
place is limited, not like it used to be and prices are not good, same thermometer /​hygrometer 5 bucks less around the corner on Grandview at the other place
probably be out of business soon… rip offs, attitude… will close the doors

I have been shopping at this store for three years along with a dozen other Hydro stores from Malibu to Long beach. the main reason I like this store is a couple of the people that work there are Knowledgable and nice. Eric and John are the only people I will work with at PCHydro because I feel an attitude from everyone else Eric while he is young, he makes every effort get accurate information to give his customers the best service
Chris the owner seems to have an attitude toward anyone who is smarter than him or asks a lot of questions (wanting to learn).
I have always felt uncomfortable in the store when he was there until recently when I believe he learned I had been spending a couple thousand a month in his store when he was not there, now he is all nice to me, this tells me he is more interested in money rather then serving the customers best interest, if Chris and Eric leave, my business will also leave.

This place is legit… very knowledgeable staff… Great pricing and overall just a great friendly environment.

Great Place with Great Prices and an Awesome Staff! It’s a hidden gem! They have so many products in a moderately sized store. They staff is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They are always ready, willing and able to assist you. They match prices but it is typically not necessary because they prices are so low to begin with. Also, make sure that you join their customer loyalty program. They have lower prices online then they have in store and if you are a member they automatically give you a reduced price. It also helps them to learn more about you and what you buy so that they can better serve you. 5 stars and two thumbs up! Highly Recommended!

Awesome service ! … Always willing to help a girl out !
Love the vast variety of advanced nutrients.
Prices are average. Get an account for a discount.
I come here for my (almost) everything.

This is a pretty good centrally located shop. Their prices on certain items are competitive but they have higher margins on others. The staff is helpful and friendly. Careful when buying bags of soil here, my initial bag had a good deal of holes in it that i disregarded but ended up with a giant fungal mess versus a miracle grow vacuum sealed set that i grew at the same time which developed almost no damping off

I just moved to Mar vista, and have been to a few nurseries and hydro shops, but this one has everything I need for all of my growing needs. I have worked in a hydro shop before and the prices pchydro offer to ordinary customers are incredibly hard to compete with

Knowledgeable, friendly, and inexpensive. Always a good experience! Super cute dog Eli :)

This is the place to go for the best prices around. I’ve cancelled Amazon orders on multiple occasions after finding the same items for significantly cheaper at PC Hydro. Now I’ve learned my lesson and come here first.
I don’t know why people seem to be hating, makes me think it might be the competition creating shill accounts? The staff are all gardening experts, and Kris has never been anything but friendly and helpful, and has never offered me bad advice. He’s actually suggested cheaper products that have a better reputation and work better than the more expensive brands, so I never feel like I’m being taken for a ride. This is the only hydro store I’ll go to, there’s a reason PC Hydro has so many regular customers.

I recently moved and was looking for a new shop to fulfill my exotic specie growing needs, and I found Pacific Coast Hydroponics (PCH) on our favorite site.
PCH is located on Sepulveda in Culver City, so if you park on the street you have to pay. I think you can park in the back, but I’m not sure. You have to go through a security door to get buzzed in, which always is vaguely unsettling-don’t as me why. Once in PCH feels more like an ancient oriental curio shop with clouded front windows, low ceilings, narrow aisles and packed shelves, than a high tech growers paradise.
But don’t be fooled they have it all. Everything you would ever need for growing those exotic orchids or hydroponic tomatoes. Their prices are modest and the staff is helpful and knowledgeable to boot. If you check in on Unilocal they offer a nice little gift coupon-I’m not telling you will have to check in to check it out.
PCH is a winner all your exotic needs.

Great selection, and helpful staff. This is our go to gardening center (aside from Anawalt).

Knowledgeable Friendly & Super Affordable
The only place I go in L.A. County for my hydroponic and grow supplies. Will and company are awesome, always free for questions, advice and conversation… & you can’t beat the in store or online prices. Stop overpaying for your nutrients and equipment and go to PCHYDRO!!!

Kris and Will at PcHydro always provide best of class service and are highly knowledgeable.
I have been going there for several years and I always save time and money.
I like that they don’ t have that big box store vibe and you deal with the same people and not some pimply kid that doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground and who won’t be there in a week so you can’t belittle him for giving you bad advice.
So if you like saving time, money and get solid advice… Go there.
(Oh yea their website kicks ass and their retail store is conveniently located near the 405 and Washington Blvd) Now where’s my free stuff?!
