Hydroponics Store in Worcester County, MA

Matt’s Hydroponics runs two full-service grow stores in Worcester County, both on Route 16 and both a minute off an interstate: Webster on I-395 for the south county and the state lines, and Milford on I-495 for the east side and the Blackstone Valley. Same catalog, same prices, same people who grow. Webster is open seven days a week; Milford is open Monday through Saturday.

Buying guides for Worcester County growers

What to buy for a New England basement, where it is on our shelves, and the questions we answer at the counter every week.

Growing in Central Massachusetts

Most of the rooms we help with around here are basements, spare bedrooms and garages, and the same three problems come up over and over. They’re all solvable, and they’re the kind of thing that’s much easier to sort out across a counter than in a product listing.

• Cold, damp basements. A New England cellar runs cold in winter and humid in summer. Getting temperature and humidity under control — dehumidifier, inline fan, a controller that reacts — matters more than which nutrient line you pick. Come in with your room’s dimensions and we’ll size it.
• Well water. A lot of Worcester County is on wells, and well water can carry hardness and dissolved solids that throw off a feed chart. A pH and EC meter, and knowing your starting numbers, saves a lot of guessing. We sell the meters and we’ll show you how to read them.
• Tight spaces. Tents sized for a closet or a corner, lights matched to the tent, and the air handling to go with it. If you tell us the space, we’ll put together a list that actually fits.

Questions we get from around the county

Do both stores carry the same products?

Same catalog and same prices. Day to day, a specific item may be on the shelf at one store and not the other, so if you’re driving for one thing, call ahead and we’ll check.

Is it legal to grow at home in Massachusetts?

Yes, for adults 21 and over: up to six plants per adult and twelve per household, in a locked or secured space that isn’t visible from a public place. Landlords can restrict it, so check your lease. Our tri-state home grow guide has the details and links to the state’s own rules.

Can you deliver bulk media in Worcester County?

Yes — pallets of Pro-Mix, Bio365, coco and commercial nutrients, with local delivery. Call either store or use the quote form.

I’m brand new. Which store should I go to?

Whichever is closer — both have people who grow. Come in with the space you have and what you want out of it. If you’d rather read first, start with Hydro 101.
