Anyways, a quick update: Apparently i have some sort of nute burn, from overfeeding my girl dlylah, so im gonna be just straight watering her for the next week n see if she perks up. Corky is lookin like shes gonna be fuckin BEAST man. beautifully comin along, flowering niccely, ill take pics in a day or two to let you guys check her out. Im kinda pissed off at dlylah though, she was my favorite plant, n now she must be mad at me for somethin cuz shes fuckin givin me the finger n lettin a couple of her leaves fall off every day. Its fucked up man. Check out the most recent pics of my plant to see the beginning of what im talkin about.

Hey K1ng...

Man, I am so bummed right now...

My box came from HTG...

First of all... it has been at the postal orifice since the 6th... just got a notice today... FUCT..!!!

Then, I get to the car and hurriedly open the HUGE box... to find that the 8" cool tube is not tube at all but a HUGE fucking square reflector, with 8" flanges... FUCT again...!!!

On the drive home I came to peace with the fact that it might work better than the cool tube I ordered...

Get home, open the box and the glass sheet falls off... the welds on the frame let go... the glass didn't break.. but it's off of the hood.. FUCT hard...

Well, at least this will give me a chance to try it out...so I taped the BRAND NEW reflector together?!?!?!?! FUCT again...

and installed the socket... went for the bulb... and guess what??? FUCT with no vaseline... bulb is all busted inside and cracked on the outside... ARGGHHHH enough ... can't take it anymore...!!!

So I go put the thing in my grow cab to see if it fits and such... when I notice the flange on one side is bent, and the paint cracked...!!!! ok is there an end to this...???? FUCK!!!!!

So I decide to do a thorough inspection on everything...

The sticker that says "remove the protective film before operation" was still there, but no protective film.... ...:wall: ...

Then I look at my ballast, and the fucking grill on it is caved in.... ok... do you get the picture???? I'm pissed...!!!!

And those fuckers are in the east coast.... so of course they are close by 1pm AK time... but I will be one unsatisfied costumer when I wake up tomorrow at 5 AM to call them...

I am sorry to come over here like this... I just needed to vent...

As you can see I REALLY GOT FUCT!!! on this one...

Thanks...

naw dude, fuck that shit, thats fucked up. feel free to vent over here anytime. Where did you order from?? seriously, that shit even pisses ME off, lol. Tell me where u got that shit from, and ill bomb them with some bad feedback too. seriously. It wasnt PowerKingShop was it??

lemme know dude, ill help you fuckin give these guys a piece of your mind. N everything you bought is under warranty by the company for at least 30 days by law, so get on that shit n make them fuckers send everything out to you again, n make sure none of that shit is broken. Then again, it might also be the post offices fault, but i doubt it. if the grill to the ballast was smashed in and the bulbs were broke, and there was no protective film over the glass, then it was the dealer, not the post office. fuck that shit, its makin me angrier n angrier the more i think about it man. i got a lighting system on its way to me right now as were speakin. it should be here on thursday if not tomorrow, and now im worried that my shit is gonna be all busted up. i ordered mines offa a store on Ebay, so theres a good chance ill be right there with the lynch mob right next to u dude. alot of shit is hingeing on getting my equipment, as im sure is the same with you. So FUCK THAT, n FUCK THEM. get your shit replaced, or we goin on a road trip, lol.

just buy poly. its so thick it is a wall. i taped it with gorilla tape right to the my other walls and split my room in half. covered the window completely with same poly like stuff and stuck duct out windows. an intake from other side of rooms window and done. i built a frame but i think had i just used tape and poly it would have worked fine. poly was 95 dollars and i have enough left to poly every wall in my apartment twice. a lot of it so very worth it.

Yeah Man... it was HTG....

The box I picked up from the postal orifice was intact... the box inside the box, protected by little corner pieces, was intact... the shit inside is what was fuct...

I think they grabbed everything they sent me out of the reject pile... shit that has been sent back to them for some reason or another...

Oh man....

I am going to wake up very early... 5 am AK time... and I will pleasantly ask them to send me my order... as ordered undamaged....

And since the order was paid in full on the 23rd of last month... and I just got the box today... all busted to pieces... I am going to demand that they purchase a 600 watt HPS bulb locally (so I can go pick it up NOW) and I will be using the fuct equipment until MY stuff gets here....

They have already cost me precious time and money...

Damn I'm pissed....!!!!:wall::wall::wall:

Hahaha...
That's funny Spida... and I appreciate it K1ng...

But us Gypsies have our own ways of dealing with things...

First we give them a chance to make it all better...

Then we tell them that it might be in their best interest to keep us happy...

And last... well, why spoil the surprise...???!??

Let's just say we have some old tricks up our sleeves... hehehe...

My poor mother cried... she said ... "the gypsy was right..." and she fell right dead...

o i know how it goes man, lol. I got alotta friends in the Hippie Mafia.


- But HTG fuckin fucked you over like that?? wow. thats all i gotta say is, wow. I cant believe that they would do you like that tho, its baffling. Did you order it offa ebay or did you get it through the htg website? n what happened, did you grab a deal on it or what? there aint no way in hell that anything that you bought should be in shit condition if its from them man. i ordered like 5 things from them - a cooltube, a vortex, a couple 80 cfm fans, ummmmmm n somethin else, i cant remember, but its always been good quality product. If it was fucked up man, i garuntee its because your box was dropped somewhere along the line. I highly doubt that they would send you out a fucked up bulb and alla that. Even if the box itself was intact, the post office could have dropped the ball man, and the inside box could have went undamaged because of the styrofoam corners they put in the box. I mean, im sure theyll replace it, but god damn, what a fuckin gut wrencher.


well, lemme kno if i can help man, lol. I know your out in AK, but still, im out in OH if u need me, holler ;)

Thanks man...

I'm getting a little calmer... BUT I AM STILL FURIOUS!!!!!!!

There was no deal at all... full fucking price.... and get this...

I looked at Ebay, cause they have better pics... then I went to their website and saved a few bucks on the products... then I decided to call and place the order on the phone...

So I ask this guy about the different hoods and options... and I tell him I want the cool tube... he asks if I want the 6 or the 8 inch... I thought it was odd, but went with the 8" so I can move more air...

So after all the explaining and verifying, I saved another $100 in Shipping, which was still a hefty 138 fucking dollars...

I'm just gonna wait and see what they say tomorrow... I'll be one grumpy mutha at 5 am...

Hey Man... Thanks for everything...

I'll let you know how it turns out...

well, I can tell you already ... I am out a light for another 10 days.. is how it turns out.. FUUUCK!!!!

ok enough... bye now...lol..

damn that sucks if you bought it from HTG though you shouldnt have a problem getting a new one. i just bought the inline fan/carbon filter combo from them but the fan was way too loud so i sent it back. they gave me a refund for the fan and still let me keep the carbon filter no problems at all i cant believe all that shit came damaged though thats fucked up!

That's what I thought when I bought from them... that it shouldn't be a problem to get a new light set up...

So much for all that...

Anyways... I'll see what they say ... at 5 in the morning...:wall:

just because the box wasnt bashed in doesnt mean it didnt take a nice fall...
all my bulbs were wrapped with bubble tape inside the reflector which in a box inside a box.... made it here A+ condition ... it only took 1-2 day in the mail though

Sure, but the way the flange on the reflector is bent, either it was done out of the box, or the box would have been smashed...

I don't know what to say, I am sure it's a fluke and they will fix the order...

My bulb was also bubble wrapped inside of the reflector, inside of a white box that was inside of a brown box, with corner "fitter uppers" so it doesn't slide around...

And the stuff is weird, like the bulb... it's element inside is broken, but the outside glass is barely cracked...

the frame around the glass is bent and the welds broken... if it hit that hard, the glass would have broken...I think...

5am, I'll be the first caller... lol...

Haha. Silly gypsies. :) I'm sure it wasn't HTG, they probably wouldn't want to ruin their rep by doing that. It could have been tampered with along the line by a postal worker. You never know. But good luck. For both waking up at 5am, which I will never be able to do in my life, and for getting your stuff fixed. :)

K1ng - You made me crack up when you said baffled. I don't know why, but it was fucking hilarious. hahaha.
