hey everyone.

I don't know if its just me but I get very irritated when I walk into a grow shop and the sales guy sounds like hes chong from cheech n chong. I mean come on, this is a business and im supposedly suppost to put my trust in your word about your products when you sound like your baked out of your mind.

ok what ever, so I tell this guy I havent grown before(which is a lie) so I could try n see where he guides me. So of course I should get the led lights; not the ones in his tent display, the big ones. Because they are only like a dollar a watt maaannnn (cost wise). Then I should only grow one plant because ill be able to harvest like a pound with the led light. The tent he reccomends is only 4 ft tall. So any way, he goes through the whole spiel with the expensive nutes, dirt n all that shit.

I would think the first thing to ask would be how much room i have to work with amd if it needs to be stelth or not. I can see saying to grow one plant but to do it in this lil ass tent?

This is a franchise type grow shop so it obviously is not the owners I am dealing with. All of the other sales people there seem coherant and not half retarded sounding. Do they need this guy so there is someone to try to sell shit to the teenagers or what.
When I go to a business with the possibility of hundreds or thousands comming out of my wallet, I really don't want to deal with the mega stonner of the staff. I know many people that function and sound perfectly normal while they are stoned.
Maybe its the fact I just grow weed and don't smoke that makes me think this way, but god damn. Be a lil more professional about your sales job, like the rest of your coworkers.

I research anything that is going to cost a fair amount of money before going to the store. I know better then to trust any salesman, but most at least try to sound like they know what they are talking about

I'm puzzled as to why you'd waste your time pretending to be a newbie grower. Of course the guy is gonna try to upsell, it his job.
What I expect and want from a sales person is: 1) Do you have this item or anything similar? 2) Let me see it and/or where is it 3) How much? 4) Can you order this item for me and if yes, when will it be here.

i dont try to show how much i know so i know exactly how much bull shit they will try to feed me. i do the same thing when i meet a mechanic. they are more likely to try to take advantage of somone if they think that person dont know shit. if you want my money then shoot me straight from the get go, cuz ill keep comin back.

I get it! my local store is a joke. Cant seem to order anything i need. Its always " coming next week". these guys also make their own soil, the suposed all in one start to finish from seed. what a load of shit, they convince all the new growers to buy bags of this shit for 40$ I always say the best thing i ever did was stop listening to any and all of their adivse.

you walked into a place that is only there because of stoners no matter how you swing it, and now you're mad because there's a stoner there?! Wtf I'm lost...

It's like getting mad at a hooker for taking wang left and right... "Dammit hooker lady!! I thought you had more class than that?!"

Get it together nigg.

I think that your experience is pretty much like most businesses. Try to do the following and see if you agree
- buy skis or a snowboard
- buy a car
- get any sort of insurance

Maybe you ought to start just doing the research and buying your shit without jerking off the low man on the local grow totem pole - who they probably sent over because they had you pegged as a stroke in the first place.

I understand some of your frustration OP. The local grow shop (no longer in business) was selling bubble bag sets for hundreds I say hay I know of a website that you can order from they're quality and inexpensive. They look it and say holly shit that's a great deal and they ordered some and asked if I wanted some I say sure I'll take a set. Then the dude tries to sell them to me for twice as much money. I'm thinking this dude is fucking mental. I say hay that's twice as much as they cost. You know what that fucker said? He says oh that's my price. So I told him I'm just going to order them directly. I can understand a little bit of a markup but double is bull. I grow organic so when I go to a grow store the only stuff I can use is in this 3' 3' area. I might buy a base soil or root riots but that's it. And when I do need to mix soil I end up cleaning them out. The organic selections are terrible.
