Hi Irishmc. I run the Bloom & Grow site, and work for the company. I'm sorry to hear about your treatment when you came into the shop. We genuinely go out of our way to be helpful and make everyone feel welcome. We hate indifferent, rude or bad service as much as anyone. If you PM me the details of what happened I'll make sure the staff member is made aware.
Hi Face,,,,do yous sell seeds?

Nottheface,When i walked in to the shop the guy was playing with a toy bow and arrow down the back of the shop. He looked at me and kept playing with it! I had to call him over to talk to him. When i asked him about the pots the was somewhat helpful and before we finished or I had finished he had turned around and walked off to the other guy who was in a tent fixing something.
I might sound like a grumpy bastard but a bit of respect for customers goes along way. I could have been on here raving about how good the shop was but alas that person ruined that shop for me.

Sorry i could not PM this to you, but you need a few more posts before you can PM mate.

i think he needs to add us as friends or accept pms from anyone in his settings, quite refreshing though for the guy to come on here, never seen any other shop guy do that b4. just shows though how your bad exp irishmc puts a bad taste in other peoples mouths. but at least hes trying to sort it out, but i would not look into this guy north face coming on to sort it out as he only works for the company and doesnt own it. it should be the guy that runs the company coming on and offering some specials to make ammends to us guys. pass it on north face, get us hooked up. id buy my stuff there if there was an incentive to do so.
totally agree harrekin, mines always put in a bag aswell, comes in handy aswell for repotting because they are not the cheap plastic kind that you can poke your finger through either. ill never use anything but all mix agian.
stickey if your on the north side then either try harrekins local or try the shop on here that fucked up irishmc customer service, im sure they will stock it.

if you want a cheap soil ph probe, theres a very similar one to this in most places for around 20e, only difference is the probe is connected by some curled wire to the box, have one for 2 years and works great


loving the bud pics lemon


got the first few seeds for this years outdoor soaking:mrgreen:

Howyiz lads - been a while since I visited. Has anyone tried the guerillight cfls from seamus growshop? They're marginally cheaper than the eco-light brand but if they're crap I'd rather spend the extra few bob.
Hey Maulstrom , I use the 67k 250 watt cfl got for seamus grow shop also , Yea it a good light for veggin would only do two three plants as noticed when they were two foot tall the light wasen't getting to the bottom leaves . Keeps temps perfect and humidity . Few pics below of how I got on.

Hi Face,,,,do yous sell seeds?
Afaik theyre associated with www.irishseedbank.com

Niko good weed is really hard to come by here, Iv only ever gotten good shit when one of my few growing friends (only one or two of my friends have ever grown) chops something down. The rest of it is dirty sprayed shite, since I pulled my last harvest my lungs are 100x better and I aint been coughing at all...when I was smoking the crappy "mall dope" you get here I used to cough every like 5 mins even when I wasnt smoking. God only knows what shit I used to pump into my lungs.

Got one of these in Woodies earlier for €15, means not having to move plants to water anymore...I love cheap things that make growing lazier :D

EDIT: And its designed for use with pesticides and ferts, so it aint gonna clog up, not deliver nutes or rot on you.

Spot on, Harrekin. I run that site too. Would love to hear any feedback you guys have on it. I research and write every description, and try to keep it as up-to-date as possible so it's always great to hear any ideas or suggestions from genuinely interested people.
Just two recommendations:

For irishseedbank.com man, if you get more JD Easyryder Fems in and start stocking AK48 by Nirvana(Ill personally buy ALOT of the AK48's), that stuff will fly off the shelves man, especially the Easyryders.

For growandbloom.ie, start stocking Airpots! Then Ill actually never have to go to a different grow shop again, lol.

Cheers man.

Stuff like that drives me insane, so I can relate, but there's no excuse for bad service. I've let the guys know in the shop and they said to say sorry. If you're looking for anything let me know and we'll sort you out with a discount. I assure you that you, or anyone else who comes into the shop will be well looked after.

"mall dope"
any ideas how the mall dope name came about?

thats crazy and scary about noticing the difference with your lungs


nottheface do you guys have bat guano or know where i can get it?, also maybe you guys should stock kc brains, female seeds and hybred from hell seeds or more dutch passion stuff, all great for the outdoors (and cheap) , irish growers have to move on from lowryders and cross's for outdoor growing

Its from Trailer Park Boys, me and my mates just started calling it that cos it what one of the main characters (Ricky,he is a legend) calls normal "street weed" cos you buy it at the mall, compared to his mind blowing homegrown. It was an argument about prices I think. You should download and watch ALL of it, its good stoned tv for late night blazing. Start watching from Season 1 tho or you just wont "get it".

And serious about the lungs thing too, I knew the stuff we got was sprayed, but it must be seriously badly sprayed. Any of my friends that smoked just mine for a few weeks said the same too, and about how smoking mall dope is just rotten now.

Sorry to be hijacking this thread, but I can't PM anyone yet. There's a good article about Airpots in the current issue of Urban Garden but it doesn't mention a particular brand. Is there a brand you prefer? Will certainly look into stocking them for you, and will get back to you about the Easyryder and AK48 seeds when I hear back from our suppliers. Thanks for the feedbank.
