I have been in several shops in RI, they all seem friendly and willing to answer any questions. Lets face it , if they want to stay in buisness they have to be attentive to their customers.

OK, I don't post a lot but I was registered years before they opened & I'm unbiased & honest (you gotta be in this caregiver thing)
I searched the thread and not a single BioBizz hit.

Well Mother Nature is carrying BioBizz now and I'm getting BioBizz Allmix on Monday (I hope it comes in with the order) and some BioBizz Fish-Mix (works great & high in potassium (K) 6.6%, if that's what you look for & a fine foliar feed if you can stand fish-smell...........

I like the other stores too except (Paul at Liquid Sun) but it's worth the trip for BioBizz alone and they have 3 other fines lines: General Organics,
Advanced Nutrients and House & Garden (I only used General Organics so far of those 3) and at discount prices.

Man what are you waiting for. They in Warwick & it's a central location; not in the boonies.

I don't believe in back-stabbing (in person) but we on a forum thread. Stay clear of Paul at Liquid Sun in Pawtucket.

He banned me from the store cause I would not buy a "full line" of Canna stuff (he uses the Canna franchise to bribe you. to shop there or else.......)
and Boombastic too & said I buy online....so I NO GOOD). I thought he said Jesus was on his shoulder and is closed on Saturday...

So you have been warned officially by me to stay away......Why Liquid Sun owner lets him stay there, when they MUST know what's up, is the REAL mystery there????

I've chatted with few of the guys that work at Mother Nature, while it's evident they've done some reading it seems most of that reading is the backs of bottles and internet heresay/ anecdotes.

They need to get a damn credit card machine. Their excuse that many customers prefer cash in BS. Cash customers can pay cash, credit customers can pay credit. I'm not a god damned criminal, and I certainly don't feel comfortable walking around with 5k in cash. Caregivers should never carry that much cash.

I'd put them a notch above Organically Grown because of their cheaper prices (which has been overstated here, discounts are about 5% of msrp on most gallons) but a few notches under Good to Grow, whose prices are MSRP but service and selection BLOW Mother Natures out of the water.

While most of the guys (even the younger ones) at G2G are intermediate to advanced in their knowledge, if your depending on grow advice at a grow shop your already losing. Get advice from someone who is not profiting off you like a friend or the internet or someone who will profit off your success instead of your purchases like a consultant.

Bottom line: knowledge is your best additive, and a knowledgeable friend or experienced consultant will save you much more than 5% on one of your cheapest expenses (GH nutes).

I live closer to this store than another and, very time I try to go to this store they are closed!!! Why have posted hours? If you open when you feel like it. I have done all my business with good to grow, A+ all the way around, From inventory, to the store layout. The staff is very knowledgeable and always willing to help. Well worth the 30 minute ride. I am hearing more and more about the new organically grown store but I had bad experiences with the old one so I have been hesitant to look.

I think OG is OK.Some Stuff is over priced.BUT for me Driving 30mins is a lil to much when time is an issue.

I went into Organically Grown the other day and they have root maker pots, they are air-pot knockoffs. They look pretty cool, a little different in design and seem to be made from a more flimsy plastic than the air-pots. Looks like some of their prices are now actually a few points under msrp, which is a welcome change since my earlier visits.

And mother nature now has a credit card machine! Things are looking up :)

I finely went into OG on Park Ave, Cranston. The shop is neat an clean but to small to hold a decent size selection. Staff was friendly and prices are a bit high in comparison to others but not by much. I talked with a big guy working there and he did seem to know his shit.

To comment on another post about Mother Natures, I really do like the store and staff but they need to keep posted hours as theres nothing worse than driving there and finding a locked door. I think he needs to hire some responsible staff or they're going to continue to loose business.

In business, once people switch where they shop to another store, they usually stay there until something makes them switch again. Creatures of habit.
 
Man, there more I think about this, the funnier it gets. So if you have your card "nothing is off limits". So if I go tomorrow, I'll get carded? Or if I decide on some nice Humbolt County additives,they might tell me it's OFF LIMITS to me since I don't have the card? Tell me, what items ARE off limits to those without THE CARD? Rockwool? Coco? Hydro units? Lights?

It wouldn't matter anyway since they probably don't have any of these items in yet.
I read on this forum but never post. I cant take it anymore and just have to say something. TSTAT you just cant be as stupid as you sound. First you say that you never recomend a store but you dont mind shitting on a new store that just opened. You also bitch because they asked you for a med card, and you try to mislead people saying that they wont sell you certain things unless you have a card. BULLSHIT!!!!!! You can walk into any hydro store and buy anything on the shelves. The only reason you will be asked for a card is if you ask for info about growing marijuana. It is against RI law to give someone info about growing an illegal substances. If you have a card it isnt illegal to talk to you about it. The part that I dont understand is why would they ask you for a card? You seem to know everything about everything so I cant see you having to asking for any info about anything. You even say that you are affraid you may be hurt by them if you say the wrong thing. You sound like you are affraid of their competition. Might you be another hydro store owner or employee?????

Fu*k MN, Bought a wing and a bulb last week, next day asked if they still had the $200 1000W package (same light and wing reflector just with the black China made ballast). Donny said yes and I said I'll just get the package as I still needed a ballast. I purchased 3 of these packages a month and 1/2 ago as well as drooped 1000 on product. He said no that I had to purchase them all together,only 15 hours after I made the purchase. I told you that day Donny you will never get a another penny from me. Lost all future sales from me cause your a greedy fu*k.

I went, was pretty cool and something I see getting bigger. I don't need a hood right now, I'll pick up a package from HTG for 217. I did pick up some bubble bags tho. I went there to buy a flip box but they didn't have it on sale. There is a diy instructions on RIU that I will follow and make it.

There prices are better by a few dollars to overcome all of the short comings of this store. Sporadic hours, lies to you about when stuff will be in, poor overall selection,always some shady people hanging out there and is a greedy fuck to boot. I'll spend a few dollars more for professional service, product on hand, and advice that is not lining the owners pocket. The exploits of MN on this forum speaks volumes....
 
I dont care what shop you go to they can only tell you when things will be in by what the trucking companys tell them. If a trucking company tells you that a shipment will be there on Wednesday and they dont get there till the next Monday how is that your fault????? If you put an order in and the shipper tells you that you will get the order by a certain date and they dont get it out in time how is that your fault??? This happens in any business. I asked Donny about this post and he filled me in on the whole story. Why dont you tell the whole story as well? To say that the store always has shady people hanging around in there, if that were true you would fit right in.
