I first visited Warren at Island Flowers when I was a junior in high school interested in building my own aeroponic system from scratch. The idea was to build out a system for a fraction of the cost to buy from AeroFlow or some of the other companies. Warren gave me copious and unending advice, even when it would have been much more adventageous for him to sell me a system and reap the profit from mark-up. Warren possesses a wealth of knowledge and is a great conversationalist. My senior year of high school, I was required to complete a capstone project and Warren donated $3,000 worth of materials. I could not recommend this store enough. Warren will help you develop the best system for your needs, regardless of the gain/loss he will incur. Now that I am an autonomous adult, I buy through Warren for the same reasons I asked for his help in high school. He is helpful, knowledgable, generous, and selfless.
