If you require an item urgently, please reach out and we can see what we can do, however, as always, the more notice we receive, the more able we are to accommodate your requirements and meet your needs. We encourage uses to forward plan and notify Plant Growth of the equipment you will require for your experiment/project during your initial consultation so we can have this ready for you when required.
