Grow in Crosta Rica?

stay away from the taxi drivers they have the biggest mouths in costa rica...everyone will know your business in no time... there is a hydro shop in jaco beach that has about everything you need. take a taxi from your hotel in jaco to the store and back so no one will get your tag number when you buy your gear... costa is such a small place you really need to be careful, the country is full of thieves and scumbags that will rat you out or steal your stuff...do not tell a soul you are growing...not ever your wife is she is a tica...

Lived there for two years and agree with Ratman. There are plenty if good ppl there too, but you will always be an outsider, no matter how well you weave yourself into the locals. Looks like the Jaco site closed. If your willing to be patient, you can take a bus from Damn near anywhere to San Jose. Load up and travel cheap. Def be careful of outside grows. I used to have my shit delivered by both the produce company and the local mobile Italian barber. Crazy shit. Outside grows have got to ne insane though. You can grow anything there. I used to watch the man down the road take cut branches of Bougainvillea and jam them into the ground, that's it. One month later, a bushy fence line.
Cops and la migra are always on the take. Just have to find out what makes them tick and make sure you are not stepping on someone else's toes. Yes shipping sucks ass. Buddy had to ship some jet skis in with the motors and seats separately due to the insane taxes on vehicles. Don't know if it changed, but even if you brought over a beater piece of shit car, you had to pay import tax of a percentage of the new value.
Good to see a hydro store there though.

Been growing in Costa Rica for several years. Don't buy anything from the grow shop in San Jose. Those guys are way over priced and have a horrible selection. I ended up getting an import license through my development company. I import all of my supplies now.
