I am constantly amazed at the reluctance of some people to seek out the assistance of a person or persons who spend a good portion of their professional life pursuing exactly the subject at hand. Marketing professionals absolutely love this sector of society because it allows them to create focus groups and an entire culture based on avoiding more cost effective answers. It is also these same group of "avoiders" who are the first to cry foul when someone points out they are the victims of usury marketing practices. In particular, look at the title of this very thread!!!
Yo herm,
WTF are you talking about? Are you implying that I am reluctant to seek assistance from professionals, or are you just making generalizations?
By sourcing your own salts and mixing yourself, which is not that hard once you understand how it works... aren't you making it as cheap as possible?
I have another thread here where I found a source of bennies, found out that pretty much all the "hydro companies" (ie AN, plant success,
botanicare etc), are issuing a 1000% markup.
I talk to chemists, biologists, horticulturalists, and people who have been growing for a LONG time. I was reading books when I was 14, about Dr. Resh and his hydro tomatoes. I like to learn. I like hands on learning if it is safe to apply myself.
I am not sure, but it seems that you are trying to insult me.
Going back, what I said was that a rep at jr peters said it woudl be a good idea if you are using RO water to add back some HIGH QUALITY SUPPLEMENTS. I called and asked, nobody was marketing it to me.
This ^^^ is perfectly relevent to this thread. CHEAP ALTERNATIVES TO OVERPRICED NUTES, given the thread immediately steered us to Jacks, which a few of us here are using (and documenting) with great success. Cost- a fraction of the bottled shit.
The rest of the bullshit after and this weird pissing contest I seem to have found myself in for no apparent reason is not relevant.... so lets get back on topic. :banana1sv6:
