  1. Hydroponic.co.za provide secure shopping of a wide range of hydroponic systems and accessories. Shop online or at our Claremont and Brackenfell branches.
  2. Yeah... I don't really want to get into a discussion about semantics, just trying to make sure that both sides are represented. I re-sell (supplied by Hortishop) both EHG and the A/B nutes and won't stand idly by while false information is spread on forums likes this. The bottom line is that there are now many places within ZA to get hydro goodies. Competition is healthy and hopefully will push prices down so that the end consumer gets a better deal. Shop around and use what you are comfortable with. Punt the stuff you like, hate on the stuff you don't, thats your choice... but back it up with a valid argument if you want to be taken seriously.
  3. The issue here is not about having an opinion, you are more than welcome to it. This post however is filled with accusations based on hearsay, bordering on slander. If you are going to go that route, your facts better be straight.
  4. Hi, Gareth from hydroponic.co.za here. I spoke to Hortishop about the concerns raised in this post and they asked me to post this: ------------ Hi, my name is Tony from Hortishop. Whilst I am all for free speech, I cannot let GarethL’s rant about Hortishop go unchallenged. The importer of the GH range of nutrients fell foul of our Dept of Agriculture in 2013 and could no longer import that range as it was not registered with them, so we had to find an alternative. This is the EHG range (I admit that the name is a bit naughty!), which is produced by a chemical engineer in KZN and has been extensively trialled for at least two years on his own plants. This is completely separate to our Hortimix range of powdered nutrients, which I have been using for the past thirty years with great success. It would be easy to do as GarethL suggests and add colourant and water to our powdered range and call it something else, but this would be dishonest and something that we would never ever contemplate! If growers are having problems with the EHG nutrients, wouldn’t it be better to contact us to try and come up with a solution? I have been informed by the importer of GH products that he has completed all the registration paperwork and is awaiting a reply from the Dept of Agriculture. ---text edited--- I would welcome a call from GarethL to discuss the matter.
  5. Hi, my name is Gareth and I've been smoking for 25 years (this does sound like an AA meeting) I used to grow, but now tend to use Koi instead of GH these days. More into vines and cactuses. I've been into hydro before I could smoke, and I love me some dubious tomato. These days i'm into growing kale, butter lettuce and wasabi (you need to to try the real mccoy). I'm a big fan of companion planting and aquaponics. I may not be able to answer weed specific questions, but plants be plants...
