It is just wild how hard it is to buy some things from an online site other than Amazon.
Where can I find hydroponics equipment?
@derek
Maybe eBay, but I guess that's the same problem?
What are you looking for in particular?
@stevensrmiller nutrient solution, a small pump, and those pad thingees. basically the whole shebang minus the pvc pipes.
So not an industrial-level farm, then?
I know they can be scary as all hell, but I've actually had nothing but success with Temu. I do recommend using a burner debit card, just in case. But maybe they have some of what you want and, if they do, it's probably cheap.

@stevensrmiller home system, impulse buy. Temu has popped up! Thanks for the tip.
Please report on how that works out.
So far, I've bought some plastic cat toys, two different Arduino starter kits, a multimeter, and an optical thermometer from them. Not one of those things cost me more than ten bucks, and all of them work fine. The multimeter and thermometer probably wouldn't survive a drop on a hard floor, but they work and tested within a percent of my "good" ones at our lab. The Arduinos seem AOK too.
Good luck!
