If anybody knows if the Greenhouse is still open, please let everybody know. On our previous thread this was said:

went to that Hydro store in Melville today only to discover that it is closed on a Sunday...doh! Anyways, they had a website written on the wall so here it is for you Jozi folk.

If you wanna go there it is 2 doors up from Cool Runnings.

Also, if anybody has dealt with www.ethnotrader.co.za, please share your experience. I think the two shops are related...

 

[malkop_zolkop]

Can't seem to get hold of anyone at ethnotrader. Sent email as well...
If anyone has better luck, let me know please.

 

[highonthechroni]

i've emailed Ethnotrader before, took about a week for a reply.

 

[Dopeman_Za]

Ive been to the Greenhouse. It is open sometimes. We bought Salvia there.
Anyways, go on a Sat or just call their cells and say you outside, mostly they inside tripping. So if you phone them, they will open for you.

I wish i could put a hydro system somewhere!

 

[getafix]

Probably of topic, but while we're talking about a ethnobotanical shop... Any of you heard of Kratom before?

 

[highonthechroni]

can't say that i have..?

Yes. Not my thing.

I've purchased a few times from www.psychoactiveherbs.com It's a herb and it's best taken as a tea. Not too bad tasting, just a bit bitter.

It is really relaxing and the best non-cannabis herb I've ever tried, and I'm quite into that kinda thing. Reason I'm mentioning it is because I'd like to find out if the guys at ethnotrader can stock it.

Danny at psychoactiveherbs is really good, but the shipping takes about 4 weeks.

 

[malkop_zolkop]

LOL
If I relax anymore, my heart will stop beating. I'm really interested in checking out their hydro kit and the quality of their cactii. If they are old enough, and non grafted I'll be a happy little psychonaut. A bit of stressing and hey presto.

You're an exception to the rule in that ratrace Gauteng ... You should grow some shrooms, it's quite easy and hmm stimulating

Actually, funny you should mention that...
I'll grow anything you can think of.
My cannabis growsite turned out to have a seasonal spring in the center of it, so I've turned my interest to other stuff I've wanted to try again.

They are an indoor cannabis grow, mushrooms and cactus.
Mushrooms are the only thing I have no experience with, so I when I return I am going to give it a bash.

 

[highonthechroni]

hope to see your mushroom grow documented

if on another site, please PM me the link!

Irie.

 

[malkop_zolkop]

I'll document it, but it won't be for another few months, for a number of reasons.
Primarily, because of the cold... Although, I am going to test how a heating pad works.
Also, keeping the correct humidity in Jozi requires an ultrasonic humidifier and I just haven't had the time to track one down. So many plans, so little time.

I'm off to Amsterdam next month, I'll try and buy some spores to start a grow.

I actually want to grow truffles. It's like shrooms, but less visual and more physical, MDMA like...

Anybody need something from A-dam? Suggestions of interesting items I can get there for my grow that I may battle getting in SA?
