They are legal on their own.

Not illegal. Owing and selling horticulture equipment is not illegal. There are legitamte things, other then 420 that can be grown hydroponically.

In the UK it is legal to sell everything you need to grow hash,lights are bought by gardeners and the other equipment is also unrestricted,It is also legal to sell the cannabis seeds.
It only becomes illegal when you germinate the seeds,the other equipment would then be used by the police for prosecution purposes but they would still be legal to own.

you can seel light and hydroponics, you just can't sell what everyone knows you are going to use them for! Make sure tehy are very clean and if they are not new I would pitch them.

No, it's not illegal to sell or own, Here in Arizona hydroponics it's very popular since the soil is so hard and it gets so hot in the summer. It grows really good tomatoes.

It is no more illegal to own and sell than "disposable lighters" that can be used to light up a doobie.

People use grow lights all the time for indoor plants. That doesn't mean they are growing pot.

You might want to check out the buyer. A littel old lady would be a better bet than an 18 year old "hippie" looking freak.

g-day!

nope legal to own and sell and use, it is only if you use them for growing of stuff that is agaist the law you will get busted.

so perfectly legal to sell them as long as you do not knowingly sell them to someoe you know will use them to break the law, i am sure you know what i mean

the legal use for them is growing unusual fruit & vegetables, though some do use them for other purposes. It's also not illegal to own or sell books like this -
Grow Great Marijuana: An Uncomplicated Guide to Growing the World's Finest Cannabis by Logan Edwards
Even amazon sell it -

and the USA

Though you can get into trouble if caught using them for growing weed!
