    Can anyone tell me

    *Basic preparation?

    *If it's a problem in terms of over-consumption or am I pretty much alright to go at it?

    *Will pineapple juice spoil the effects while improving the flavour?

    So yeah, thanks in advance for any info - we're looking at doing it tonight (saturday) so any quick info would be greatly appreciated. - Thanks.

    if it was a collector why would they bother with the selenicereus and hylocereus?

    I think they have the wrong definition of "collecting".

    What can I say...I sympathise...straight up that's just fucked. I assume from some of the items you mentioned a fair bit of time has gone into your collection too...one would hope these people suffer a traffic accident in which they're left burning before they die.

    This kind of scum really gets my goat.

    Best of luck for a trouble free re-start, eh?

    Suh-weet!

    So, you've tried 'em yeah?

    I mean I'm the only one of my peeps that really indulges in the habanero, but I've even got "kinda" (I don't think completely is a possibility) used to those...looking for the chilli that can make a bitch of me.

    That and, I love to add small amounts to cooking, every chilli having a bit of a different flavour and all.

    So, the schoville rating has these guys at, what about 3 and a bit X a habanero?

    I actually find it hard to even imagine that...so, how are they?

    Do you use them much or just for cruel pranks? haha

    ...and, uh dorsets? :huh:

    Thanks, I'll def follow up with you.

    I'm sorry, I guess I didn't cover the whole story and perhaps gave the impression that I'm not the most patient person.

    While I'm not, I'm a little more systematic and patient than that before I fly off the hinge.

    My first thought was actually to make a phone call to them, but I logged on to their website to find this:

    http://www.aussieponics.com/contact.html

    Don't feel like looking at the link? Essentially what it says is that they can be contacted via email, and "live assistance".

    Live assistance is NEVER online, like never ever.

    No phone number provided, and I've had a look on Whitepages too - no such listing, so I assume they're under a different name there too.

    The email was the only way to contact them in short, which I did.

    So yeah, tried said phone call, got pissed off.

    Oh, and their "forum" is conveniently not working either.

    Doesn't really fill me with confidence.

    Honestly, online retailers like this give others a bad name.

    Claims made on the site:

    "Most of our hydroponics gear is back with a manufacturers warranty and all our items are backed with the Aussieponics guarantee of quality "If something is wrong, we will do everything we can to make it right!"

    So sit back, make your purchase and payment and rest easy. Once your order is in our hands, we wont let you down."

    Well thus far, a product sold by them has let me down, my "growlush" ballast, which I of course use to better grow my herbs and chilli plants, just stopped working after only 10 days of normal use.

    Now I'm generally pretty apprehensive about dealing with online stores...

    They were contacted with a product enquiry under a different name/email to send a reply confirming that similar items/packages did in fact have a warranty - funny enough when there's the prospect of a sale they get back to their "new customer" within 20 minutes :

    "Hello anna,

    all items in the kit have one year replacement warranty.

    Regards!

    Nelson D

    Aussieponics"

    - BUT when an email is sent (as it was on the same day, wednesday about 15 minutes later) under the purchase name, well within business hours, explaining that there's been a problem with one of their existing products, and that a person would simply like some INFORMATION about at very least how to get it fixed...well, here we are 5:03pm after general business hours end, Friday afternoon, not having heard anything whatsoever.

    I know I'm not the most patient person, but no email back in two and a bit days? No "Ok, I'll look into it and get back to you"?

    Not even a freakin' auto response of "Your enquiry has been recieved, staff will contact you...etc"?

    I'm not satisfied with this at all, it shows a general lack of care on the part of whoever is running the joint - If the other email hadn't been so promptly answered I might have not come to this conclusion, but they leave no other recourse than to assume I've been doing business with a dodgy place.

    "NOW RATED AS AUSTRALIA'S BEST ONLINE HYDROPONICS STORE!"

    By who? Aussieponics? Surely not anyone who's dealt with their lack of efficiency and post-sales support.

    I mean if that's the case, and they're that shit-hot, surely it's within their means to provide the support they offer, send an email back and actually do the right thing here.

    My expectations may be high, but really - if you're selling a product, and taking profit, customer enquiries and service/product related complaints ought to be handled with the same level of priority.

    Something is wrong, and they've not done a thing to "make it right".

    At this point, I wouldn't advise anyone purchases anything from them whatsoever as it would seem there's no guarantee of any kind of service.

    This message will be posted in various locations until they decide to address the problem and this situation comes to a satisfactory resolution, because people ought to know where and who to avoid.

    I read once about a method for balcony/small grows.

    Get yourself, or make yourself something like a wooden barrel, with wiring around the interior as shown above.

    Make it so it has holes in it, as in for every piece of structural wood, have an open space as big as that, then more wood, more space, etc. Fill the thing with soil of choice, get your potatoes in, you could probably even put ONE potato in couldn't you?

    And yea, apparently they just grow down and fill up the barrel to your desired soil level.

    I don't know too much, only going off what I've read...may have missed a few details, but it would seem a nice compact idea.

    I'm open for trying pretty much whatever methods are available...not about to take it down to what any shaman or whatever would say or think about it, I mean they didn't create the plant, but that said I wouldn't mind checking out how the substance came into origin and try the oldskool method too.

    Should be about what works for you, you can have more than one kind of experience per plant, that's just bonus.

    Just wanted to give a shout-out to dbbard, thanks for meeting up with us.

    You're a polite, generous, and comfortable person to be around and a great introduction to the forum trading scene for me.

    Thanks again.

    Poo - As I said, I'll keep yours on hold and I'm sure we'll meet sometime down the line anyways, eh?

    Other peeps - I still have

    3 medium Jades, and 6 aloe veras if anyone's after them? Great way to boost your garden, very user friendly

    Let me know if anyone wants some.

    Funny you should mention that, I just started playing Mass Effect.

    Now, it has slight OCS, but in a way that's FAR more acceptable than the aforementioned problem titles, IMO.

    Kind of off-centre, but not obscuring anything and not to the point that it feels completely asymmetrical.

    So it can work, but when they glue your character to the left/right hand side of the screen - it's too damn much.

    btw - Mass effect looks awesome.
