ok so finally after much back and fourth between myself, the hydro store, and General Hydroponics, i have received my go box... awhile back i posted somewhere that if call and sweet talk GH they will send you a sample box of their organic line... i did just that and was informed that GH would contact the hydro store i said recommended their product and they would send the hydro store my samples... i said great... was amped to try some ree organic ferts and additives... well after 2 weeks the hydro store was like no we havent gotten anything and GH had not called... so i cal Gh again get a different rep and same story yada yada yada... the hydro store tells me he hears this all the time but never sees ay samples that customers are promised... mind you all im on a very limited budget and have a very small grow room... will only be doing 6 plants max... this is important later... so after 10 more days i call GH cause now its principle and i loathe poor customer service and empty promises...i ask to speak to a supervisor... im connected to a woman named nancy... i tell her the story of failed promises unreturned phone calls and the like... explain it is not a good way to instill confidence in a potential customer when something so simple as a promised return phone goes undone... Nancy assures me that she will personally address the matter and will see that the samples go out to the hydro store... a couple days later i receive a phone call from nancy saying she sent sample boxes to all of the hydro stores of that chain in the area... she gives me a tracking number and everything...now im thinking wow thats more like it... why did it take so much bull shit to get to this simple point... well i wait 8 days... the hydro store guy say nope no GH samples... i told you they never show up... i check the tracking number and low and behold there is delivery confirmation... Nancy calls me to see if i received my samples as she noticed an email regarding delivery of said samples... i tell her no i did not... the store never received any samples... nancy informs me that she sent 5 to 10 GO BOXES of General Organics complete line of supplements to each branch of that store and has a signed delivery confirmation... needless to say said hydro store scammed the boxes... i went to a different branch and saw the go boxes with a price sticker.... those fuckers... i hate when any business or person makes a gain off another's goodwill.... i do not frequent that hydro store any longer.... i do notmenion this to GH as i do not want to draw any attention to me... Nancy apologizes profusely and asks for my address... she then says she will sen my GO BOX to my house.... the next day she calls with a tracking numbr and expected dlivery date 12/3/10... i come home today to find a box from UPS containing 2 General Organics GO BOXES... each box contains a pint each of bio-thrive veg and bloom base nutes and 8 oz each of calmg, bio-root, bio-weed, bio-bud, bio-marine, and diamond black... also had 2 of their coco tek pot liners lol.... now for someone who will only be growing 6 plants at a time i have several grow cycles of premium organic nutes for free... if i had to buy all these id have spent close to 200 bucks.... oh and not only is the line organic it is also vegan lol... heres the GO BOX A CLOSER LOOK pretty cool deal for me even though i had to be a lil pushy
Nice collection. Have you ever considered Advanced Nutrients? And are you planning to use the new nutes, on your OFF plants?
thanks guys.... no BN im going to stay with my Neptunes Harvest and molasses schedule that i have been feeding which Resin gave me... i have added Hygrozyme and a high N bat quano as the OG Kush is an N hog... that was working wonderfully til i napalmed my ladies with OFF... ive added AN's No Shock to my OFF ladies to try and help them recover... the GO line is for a side by side that i will run next grow... maybe take two clones of all 3 strains im currently running and run one of each in my current nute schedule and one of each in the GO line following their schedule... see if there is a diff... AN has goo nutes but sooooooo many parts and soooooooo expensive.... why do they need 3 seperate root innoculents to have the same content of one product like great white... and how many bloom boosters and so on and so on and so on... thats my bitch about about AN... nothing personal... not to mention the hydro stores here only have bits and pieces of the line...
Excellent I was hoping for you to use it, on your Next grow, for new healthy plants. Great. And Advanced Nutrients , yeah it is expansive, but it is defintly worth it, for the results, from what I experience And i can understand you hydro store being a fking douchers.....So im glad you got that shit finnaly....
BN im betting my OFF ladies will produce nicely and in the end show no ill effects from the mishap... you wait and see those ladies aregonna survive and thrive...
way to go man! Cool story. I hate that there are so many unscrupulous business owners out there, especially hydro stores who are raking in money theses days. In this poor economy it seems pretty weird that new hydro stores are popping up all over the place. That sucks that the hydro store is screwing ppl and GH too. But glad you got yours brother that is cool.
Good job BigBud214. I'm still looking forward to seeing the updated pictures of your plants once the take off. opcorn-2:
The side by side is a GREAT idea! Man...with clones and all other factors being equal, only diff being the two types of nutes, this will really be important info. GOOD WORK. Way to get some cool free goodies, too, LOL! Good on ya! Dixie
Thanks Ras and MrGJ, Yeah Ras i am with you on the unscrupulous business owners and to make matters worse... the hydro store i recently found which is owned by previous ganja growers also ha lost my business... they were getting me a corded 6 inch inline booster fan... he told me it was about the same price as the uncorded ones at home depot... the hydro guy says around $27... it takes him 3 weeks ro get it... i am there on monday to get the AN No Shock and see the fan... so im like ok ill grab the fan and am like so its 27 bucks? hes like let double check... nope $52.99... im like damn man thats twice the price you said... hegets all pissed and is like i ordered that fan for u... i pid for that fan.... u as the customer should know the price of what you are ordering... i was like man i asked you how much it was, if u didnt know the price when i asked you should have checked before you answered... if you told me it was 50 bucks i would have said no thanks like i am now... he then tells me that it will cost cost me 30% to send it back cause it was a special order... i said no thanks not my problem... he then turns his back on me.... another store not getting my business MrGJ the ladies are still nice and green and showing tiny signs of new growth, waitting for the take off and worried until it happens that they are dead.
Hey BB, I was surprised that fan was so much too... sure as shit I look at the SS catalog and that's what they want. I was thinking about the 4" fans which are like 30ish so I was off on the price too. He still shouldn't have given you a hard time for not wanting to pay that much since the estimated price was nearly half of the actual one... Oh and you inspired me hehe, I emailed GH to try and get a GO Box sent. I also called up Harvest Moon to ask em about it, he was like 'yeah there's another guy that's been waiting over a month for them, but GH hasn't sent anything'. I tried to email Organaponics for samples of their Nature's Nectar line, it bounced so I left a voicemail message, we'll see how that turns out.
This is the response I received from GH: Hello XXXX, We do offer sample GO Box that contain the following: BioThrive Grow (16oz bottle) BioThrive Bloom (16oz bottle) CaMg+ (8 oz bottle) BioRoot (8 oz bottle) BioBud (8 oz bottle) BioWeed (8 oz bottle) BioMarine (8 oz bottle) Diamond Black (8 oz bottle) 3" Cocotek Basked (2) We do charge a $25.00 handling fee as well as a UPS Ground shipping fee that ranges from around $5-10. If you are interested please feel free to contact me by phone with your contact and payment information and we can send you out a GO box. Best Regards, XXX
Hey KP That was what i heard initially that they charged shipping... when i emailed them i got no response. You are doing better than i did initially. even $35 isnt bad for the complete line. the only thing that is weird is the feed schedule doesnt list when to use a couple of the products. ill have to check the bottles to se when to use them. Good luck
