hehe, went out to buy some special bits and pieces for breakfast and figured i'd go into the chemist and buy some surgical spirit to clean my pipe. they ust did not want to have anything to do with selling it to me, regardless of ID, wanted specifics of exactly what i intended to use it for etc, went to confer with the manager in hushed tones, i think they though i was planning on making a quick buck with one of my kidneys or something. so told them it was for cleaning purposes, not enough info, so i got bored and told them that i had a big dirty bong that needed a good clean. some rather dirty looks thrown my way at that :lol:
lol........

My auntie use to say, could be quite a bit of bullshit because some people recon that theres little/no such thing as root bounding a plant. but for everythin 30cms of vertyicle height to have 1ltr of soil...? So yea who knows. Its quite vague though because the foliage of different plants may be of a different diameter and stuff but yea. It sounds like as if u will be alright, are they near being flowered or early on vegging?

Made an order from http://www.basementlighting.com/ Last Friday, it was for an xxl tent a light with ballast a flood and drain table kit and an ebb and flow kit. The guy on the phone said yea we have all those in we will send them out Monday you will receive them Tues or Wednesday. He phoned me back on Sunday evening to tell me he can't get the flood and drain kits, then tried giving me the sales pitch about how the legs give way, and that I don't need a flood and drain table anyway it will be to close to my lights ect, would I like to buy another normal ebb and flow kit ect.

Granted some models did have dodgy legs, but if he can't source them then he needs to stop talking out his ass and just be straight with me. I could of ordered from somewhere else. I told him politely that It's specifically that flood table that I'm looking for And that I will phone him back Monday to let him know what I want to do. So I phoned back Monday, and a different guy answered I told him to just send everything minus the flood table kit. He said ok i'll pass the message on. I phoned back Tuesday to get an update and ask if they had charged back the money for the flood table kit that they couldn't get me the original guy I spoke with answered the phone. I said Hi I made and order with you over the weekend "yep" he replied. "It was for a large grow ten and "yep" he interupted. I then paused and said erm well do you know which order I mean.. blah blah so on, he was very blunt and rude with me. I said manners wouldn't go a miss. He took the defensive "what have I done" attitude. But he was being groggy with me. He then told me the amount that he had charged back which was £23 less than what he should have. He acknowledged this and said he will charge the extra £23 back to my card, unapologetically. Then I ask if I can get a tracking number later on he said yes ring back. Later that afternoon he rang me back saying that the delivery driver forgot to pick the tent up so he will send it out on Friday. Now the way this guy has allready been rude to me and tried giving me the sales pitch, tried taking more money from my card than he should left me questioning what he was saying. Surely if you send something out and the driver forgets it you would ring them back up and they would come and pick it up. Was apparent to me that something was up, maybe he just didn't have it in stock until a day later but if that was the case he should of said. I don't believe for 1 minute that the driver simply forgot the tent, which would cost the company extra man hours and diesel delivering something the next day when they could just go back and pick it up, so the guy was clearly talking out of his ass. I said well I'm going to have to check the equipment in front of the delivery guy and I don't want anyone knowing my business. At first he said why whats... then he changed it to.. Well now your accusing me of being a thief. I didn't accuse him of anything I simply put across my concerns that I could sign for 3 boxes and they could just say that I signed for a tent also. After all he already lied to me 3 times and tried taking and extra £23 Then he gives me this fishy story that the delivery/pickup guy forgot the tent. What am I supposed to think. Now it's got me worried that they are bitter, and although I don't grow at the same address as where I get my stuff delivered It makes me think they could be bitter and tell the authorities I asked for weed advice or something. I mean lets be realistic about it, some of you might think well no hydro shop would do that, but people do stoop to lows and I don't know these guys.
Last convesation I had with him he was trying to tell me that it's my loss because the tent I ordered will cost me £150 more anywhere else. hmmm he's talking about tents again. Not only that be he is trying to convince me that it's going to cost me an great deal more to buy the tent anywhere else. Granted it was pretty cheap but I have seen the same tent for no more than £20 extra than what he is charging. He must just think people are idiots. What Set of clowns. The guy who answered the phone the last time I phoned ketp saying "YEAH SURE" "YEAH SURE" I polity said hi I made and order which I canceled yesterday. "YEAH SURE" is what I got. "sorry ?" I said. he said "YEAH SURE" I said what does "YEAH SURE" mean ? he paused and struggled to riggle out of his apparent recognition of his unhelpful attitude.

Aye, toughening up the old stomach, trying to deflect ninja swords! that's some crazy tough skin on those blokes. It wasn't an age issue, so not consuming related, i genuinely think they thought i was gonna have a big of hack n slash :D that's all in the past luv

Bonghit: I have to say i did not have the most ideal experience with basement lighting. The order went though ok, the order arrived no problem, except a. the box had a big ass "BASEMENTLIGHTING LTD" sticker on it which wasn't too subtle haha, and b. i ordered a 200w CFL from them and received the 300w, which was fine, but then summer came, so had to buy a new lower power bulb (no extraction in my tent :P)


Just got a book through from amazing and they had some leaflets in the package, one of which is for Donald Russell beef, aged 21 days etc, sounds pretty good, but they state that if you've ever tasted better you'll get your money back. Anyone tried this? I figure due to previous employers, i can find MUCH better, but more importantly surely anyone could phone up and just lie saying they bought a 35day aged angus ribeye from the local butcher. Tempted to grab some free steaks :D

sucks to hear that ive always had top treatment from basementlighting and i normally recommend them over the others. working in a cust services role i know its hard but you should remain professional at all times. write the MD a letter that usually ensures someone will get at least a bollocking.

i'd have thought that you would be looking at around the beginning of september for flowering although you're hitting 12/12 on the dot at around the 25th september, sept 1st is around 13:30 hours of light
