HI Toby, We deliver to Cape Town over night in most cases 

Thanks for the heads up GarethL. Who would you recommend as a Cape Town based hydroponic supplier?

Hi Gareth

Firstly Thanks for your support!

Your info on GHE is partially correct.-->. For the past 10years GHE was brought into our country illegally. Eventually it got stopped...

All nutrients brought into the country have to have a registration document, trials on the nutrient need to be done at the expense of the registration holder. If you see it elsewhere at this stage it must have been brought in illegally or customs have missed it coming in.

1.Crystal/powder feeds do become your feeding solution

2.GHE is in the process of getting the registration documents for Flora Series in South Africa - StandBy - Im very sure that they didnt say the "government or some board" - more likely the Department of Agriculture?

3.On Small items up to 2kg we can ship with next day delivery to your door or for collection at the nearest depot, for R72 pretty cheap ehh?

4. If you like pretty colours, then continue to use 3 part nutrients if that is easiest for you to manage They all boil done to the same thing A, B & C - We also sell powder/crystal nutes as our "Guru Mix" but boils down to Micro, Calcium nitrate, MKP (yes its MKP not MPK - Monopotassium phosphate) CalMag Sold too

5. When you experienced burning , were you mixing your nutrients with a EC meter?

6. If you need any guidance using 3 part or any other nutrients for that matter don't hesitate to contact us.

Me first Me first........................

 

OK lets get started. Why do I hate the hortishop? Because they are ripping people off left right and centre. Their EHG range of nutrients is simply their A B and MPK mixture with a little bit of colourants that they sell for a ridiculous price compared to what you can pay for it if you buy the AB MPK powder yourself.

 

Why stop bringing in GHE?

Because the shipping cost and import cost are a shit load and if you make your own nutrient range and just take GHE and reverse it EHG and make the chart you use to look exactly like GHE isn't that a bit strange,  It all boils down to greed. Also I feel the staff are very very uneducated when it comes to advice and they are more trying to push products you don't need onto you. I have a large circle of grower friends who vow never to buy their products from the Hortishop ever again purely because the advice they where given along with nutrients powders and amendments landed up killing their plants or badly burning them. They where all used the way they where told to use them. I have so much information about them so if anyone wants more info just pm me but hopefully for now this should be enough to put you off them. The way they do business is unethical and because they have been around longer they feel they can charge and do what they please.

 

Nutriplex is the shit, I have never had a problem with the EHG however its just grating me now that a lot of my friends and people on here are having problems with them so now im gonna open my mouth and just warn people stay away from EHG.
