LMAO that is funny, funny shit. Wish they had a store near me! lol

I always say I'm growing tomatoes, but when offered a product I don't want or that they recomend I politely refuse and ignore. Well that, or when they first walk up to me and say "Can I help you?" I politely say "No, thank you." and walk away.

Funny thread!!!, try living in the netherlands, no one ever helps you - in fact people in shops tend to hide when they see customers....

The lady at the garden centre is always asking me what I grow so can someone give me a name of a plant that is most like skunk to get fertilizer. She's so patronizing I play stupid but I know what I need to buy. I told her the 1st time for rose's and she recommended some special rose food which I had to buy.

In the same shop they also sell lights for all purpose's and the guys they are cool, never bothering me never asking why I 'm buying Aquarium and cool white tubes for a 4 foot dual fixture.

RANT OVER

Try living in South Africa I can't find a HID or any advanced lighting set up anywhere on top of that I have power cuts every now and then my first plant starting flowering even tho my lights were on 24/7 now thats some annoying shit

LOL....went into H.D. to look for non-toxic spidermite killer. The guy goes "Yeah, sometimes I have plants that get spidermites too!" I did'nt know what to say. I jst looked at him and walked away.

is it illigal to buy/sell products for the clutivation of cannabis in the US?

Or she likes to keep tabs on customers for the next time she gets cued. I suggest you know what your buying before you go in the store. When she asks if she can help just say no thank you.

If you don't mind using Paypal or Credit Card you could also have it mailed to you.

The hydro shop I go to is chill and everything is understood. We speak of resin glands in our fruiting/flowering room, everything is always in very broad terms, never specific.

I have experienced the situation the OP describes with "garden stores" and have purchased crap I didnt need because of paranoia...and looking back on it I lmao.

I just go to the hydro store for everything now.

uggh, I used to get that from one store employee. If they start their overly friendly bullshiat with me now, I just tell them I'm there to pick shit up for my father-in-law. "I've got a list, I'm getting what's on the list."

That's my usual tactic as well. Lets me remain the nice guy, and they won't ask too many questions.

I suppose it is. You can buy glass bongs but not if you tell the clerk what you intend to do with it. You can buy ferts and flood tables and hps lights, but not if you say I'm growing a van load of dank. In the UK isn't it legal to own cannabis seeds but it's a crime to germinate them?

My grow shop of choice is way cool.... we have great discussions about the kids, the girls and share family photos when we are alone....

think thats how it works, cannabis laws seem more like guidelines tbh lol

i think if you sell lights & other growing equipment you cant sell seeds and vice versa, bongs grinders etc are all fair game and are available in some town centre shops.

i went into my local the other day, first time in years and it now sells everyting you need for growing/smoking except seeds, another one not far away sells smoking equipment and a selection of about 40 strains of seed.

the only place i have been thats more laid back is amsterdam, only 30min flight from leeds bradford airport

quite glad i'm not in the US tbh, seems much more hassle for stoners.

My wife is an SA'er so I am loving SA in all types of ways. I go down at least once a year, next step is to buy a place (pref B4 World Cup) but I had also been thinking about the grow situation (only ever had Bankies when I have been down- i think thats what you guys call them - full of seeds - but got you a high for 10 minutes)
Good luck with it, stop by my grow journal sometime. Laters my bru.

tell her to mind her own fucking business and then throw somethin at her. or just say tomatoes.

Howzit ma Brruu,

Swazi bankies are crap I know guys selling they hydro buddz but its over-priced, SA is a great country and the weather is perfect for a outdoor grow but I grow indoors and outdoors since the gardens in SA are big put like I said watch out for power cuts if growing indoors. But if you do move stay in touch I could point you in the right direction for equipment and stuff. PEACE
