San Diego Hydroponics & Organics

I am new to hydroponics and I couldn’t have been more satisfied with my experience at this store. The selection was great and organized so that I could find what I needed easily. All the staff were super friendly and Phil was awesome!!! He spent a long time with me expertly answering all my questions. Thanks to this store and Phil I’m having great success!!! I recommend going here

The staff is awesome. Prices are great. I do not go anywhere else for my growing needs.

Friendly staff you will end up on a first name basis with all the best equipment and nutrients but also good quality cheaper lines for the hobby grower they take time to know your story so when you come in they know what’s up and will help you remedy any problems I will never go anywhere else ever.

First time here — Just exchanged my 5 gallon CO2 container for my kegerator. $ 13 out the door, great deal!
Gorgeous plants outside, very helpful and friendly staff. The shop is really cool inside, plants growing everywhere, great music. Lots of fun stuff to look at — I love gardening and landscaping, and the stuff they have is very cool.
(Much nicer presentation of fertilizers and tools than Green Thumb or Home Depot.)
Big change from exchanging CO2 elsewhere — this is my new go to spot.

I’ve been in here a few times. The staff is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I walked in there yesterday (yes they are open on Sundays, so awesome) to pick up some items for a buddy. I cleaned them out and needed more. I was told they would have more the next business day. I was just told today that my buddy got a call that our items were there waiting for us. Thanks for the fast service guys, you guys are awesome. I wish I had remembered the guys name that helped me out so I could name drop. Check this place out fellas.

This place is located just off Twin Oaks Valley Road and minutes from the 78. Staff (Scott) is super friendly and knowledgeable! I was given a discount which was totally unexpected. They gained a new return client today! Ill definitely be back for my gardening needs! A++++

Bradley was very nice and set us up with a good discount. Thank u JimRock soo Dank I mean they do it big. you know whats up. they got good prices !!!

This place is the best if you are looking for quality products at deeply discounted prices and knowledgeable friendly staff.
I found organic potting soil at the best deal I’ve ever seen, 3 c’ for just $ 23 and great deals on the pots and saucers and fertilizers I needed for my tiny garden.

Great place and the employees are awesome! They explain how their products work and answered questions, very professional. I will keep on returning to buy anything I need for my hydro garden… thanks again!

San Diego Hydroponics continues to exceed my expectations. Three things — they are consistently friendly with any and all customers and are always willing to help you out and spend the time explaining things. They also carry a very wide selection of nutrients, pots, tools, anything you could possibly require in your exciting growing or gardening adventures! And best of all, they have consistent sales and always price-​match, no matter what. You always can be assured that you are getting the best deal here. I love coming here to shop, and am so grateful for the helpful advice that they have given me.

Just visited this place for the first time today and I couldn’t ask for a better hydroponics shop, or location since they’re fortunately situated fairly close to my house. I was impressed before I even made it through the doors as they have a luscious display of happy hydro-​plants basking outside to greet the customers, not to mention a pretty cool vestibule filled with more happy plants and a welcoming mural. The main interior was replete with, as far as I can tell, everything fit to fulfill your hydroponic needs, all very well organized and professional looking. I’m not sure why they were given 4 $ signs because I found their prices to be quite reasonable. Newcomers also get a 20% discount off their entire purchase. The service was way beyond what I was expecting. I hardly had to lift a finger; I just told the 2 guys working there (I think their names were Alex and Mike??) roughly what I needed and they collected all of the supplies for me. They even had a system set up in the vestibule like the one I was planning on building, which was really convenient and instructive. Both of the employees were super nice, helpful, and patient with my novice inquiries. They patently knew their stuff and gave me a ton of pointers which probably saved me oodles of time I would have spent researching. They also have turtles. Can’t say I found anything lacking. I will definitely be back again if I ever decide to build another system. Thank you San Diego Hydroponics!

Seriously you guys need to get in check you work at a hydro store not hipsters r us. I have been completely ignored to outright ignored at this store. To the point I’ve climbed up the ladder myself and get product down. I’ve been to this store over 5 times and same treatment every time with or without a guy along with me.

Great place, staff knows what they are talking about, and huge stock. Won’t shop anywhere else from now on.

This places sucks and there employees are extremely uneducated. If you are gonna sell grow equipment… know what you are selling.
My boyfriend sent me to get thirty feet of poly tubing. I’ll admit… not sure what poly means, but i know tubing is a tube. I figured the employees would know what i was talking about, but boy was I wrong.
First, I stood there for a good 5 minutes before they would even help me. Dude, I know I’m a girl, but come on, don’t you want my business??? After I finally had to approach an employee (who was on his cell phone) I was being helped. I said «Can I please have 30 feet of poly tubing?» and he walked over to the panda film. Now, I know the film is not a tube, so I knew this isn’t what I was sent in to get. So I said, «my boyfriend send me to get tubing… like a tube… a hose…» and he said «this IS poly tubing». So I left.
My boyfriend ending up calling, and they still said they had a whole roll of poly tubing. No! They have a whole roll of poly FILM! Then he realized we were talking about hosing, not film, and he said «Well we sell hosing, but its not poly»…so we went online. If you go onto the Hydro Farm website, which is the brand of ‘hose’ they sell, it says this is a poly tubing hose.
The employees at this location are not educated, and do not know what they are selling. This is a perfect example of the point I am trying to make. We have been going here for over a year and have spent a lot of money there, and have only experienced being helped by one knowledgeable staff. These guys don’t know what they are selling, which can really mess up whatever you are trying to grow. This isn’t the first time this has happened, but it will definitely be the last. DO NOT GO TO SAN DIEGO HYDRO IN SAN MARCOS. THEIR EMPLOYEES DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE SELLING!

I killed a cactus. That’s how black thumb I am. I’ve heard through the grapevine that SD Hydro is the place to go for all my attempted gardening needs so I went to this new location to give it a shot. I’m really not sure if there’s anything the staff here doesn’t know about how to care for plants. It took no time at all to get a little help, by little I mean A LOT, aquire my new skills with gear to keep it alive and back home to start my new project.
Who knows, I may actually be a green thumb before I know it. If not, at least I know where to go if I murder another cactus…

this is hands down the best store in north county. if you are shopping anywhere else, then you clearly have lost your mind. ballast repairs, all the best nutrient lines, a knowledgeable staff, open sundays… what more could the novice or professional grower want?
