sugary buds ...heres what i found

Post by pandasex » Mon Sep 14, 2009 8:47 am

The energy, cooperation and passion of Burning Man will flourish in the hydroponics industry when we force the good old boys to stop their hydroponic hijacking," Straumietis says. "I issued a million dollar challenge for the good old boys to use their best nutrients against mine and see who grows the biggest, most potent buds. They're afraid to accept my challenge. But I will not rest until the good old boys have stopped harming patients, retailers and vendors."

It's a "protest" - not an advertisement of course.

I worked in the hydro industry for many, many years. There is no one I know of in the USA hydro industry who endorses this guy or supports him. None of the hydro companies he whines against would ever consider unethical advertising at BM. This guy is a FYT who apes a Canadian outfit which is all pissy because most shops in the USA don't want to sell his over hyped shit. Bribing your way onto a hit TV show is not necessarily a sign of credibility.

Some of what he bitches about is valid - there are a couple of hydro companies in the US who have a virtual monopoly on some lines/brand of hydro gear. One of the companies the unAdvanced Nute yoyo complains about is very well known for acting like back room mafia in exclusive territories, cooperation with the DEA, and cheapo Chinese imported hardware. But even low-life-sunlighters like them would not spam BM. Not by plane, train or automobile. Hell, I learned about BM from hydro businessmen who attend yearly - and would never endorse or support a BM spammer. And the thuggery we have in hydro industry in the USA does not hold a candle to the way business is done in Australia.

But 'HypeAdvanced Nutrients' is living proof that the USA has no corner on the quota of unethical businessmen who have a grossly inflated sense of self importance.

I challenge all of those companies to give me thier product's end product so I can judge which one works better.
We have an obligation to make space for everyone, we have no obligation to make that space pleasant.

...says a representative of the most overpriced fertilizer companies on the globe. Who's a good old boy now?
