The main hydroponic retailer in New Zealand was shut down 2 days ago after a 2yr under cover police sting. 250 employees arrested, 120 grow ops busted and now we are going to be in the same boat as SA. Proof of Id for every purchase including nutrients. WTF is the world coming too?
Any body got any recipes for good hydro nutes from scratch i.e dry form?
The new legislation requires hydro shops to be licensed now,,, from what I've been told only 2 shops in SA have applied for this license,, that was months ago,, neither of them have heard anything from the Govt Licensing Board/Panel since then.
It's weird as I havent noticed any shops close down. One opened up not far from me about 3 months ago; doing a roaring trade??
I almost find it humorous. Since 2001, all sorts of draconian measures have been introduced to end the SA cannabis industry (an industry estimated to be close to if not bigger than the wine industry) and still, after everything they've thrown at the growers, the price of an ounce has gone up maybe $20 $30 in that time and pounds are so variable they can be around the same price as 2001 depending who's selling them. And still, kg after kg heads interstate in vacuum sealed bags in car boots and hidden in freight. They should just legalise and be done with it, cant they see its pointless?? No matter what the risk, some people will grow anyway, many because they need the money and know of no other way. This is especially the case in the outer suburbs.
Sorry, turned into more of a rant than intended.
If I were still able to get the pension and America was taking medicinal refugees I would be over there asap lolDo what I did and leave..... USA, USA Californ-eye-aye!
Anyone seen 'prince of pot'? I seen a few documentary's, id be really careful when shopping at these stores as in New Zealand they busted the owner of one of the large hydro stores..complete policing stuff up but they spent millions of dollars doing this. They watched people coming in and out of hydro stores and followed them home if they looked suspicious, busting alot of growers.
its time to move up to the sunshine state..
