Boycott Sunlight Supply??

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by TexarkanaTim, Jan 16, 2010.

  1. I just received a video from Big Mike at Advanced Nutrients. It sounds like the CEO of Sunlight Supply is threatening small business owners that they need to stop selling AN products or he will black-ball them. I did some checking around, and found several sites where business owners are posting their similar experiences with this CEO. I added a link to the video....check it out and see what you think. I'm certainly not advocating for either company, but this sounds like bullshit on the part of S.S. Maybe a boycott of Sunlight Supply is in order???

  2. Yeah, thats some malarky on Sunlight Supply's part and this sort of bite-the-hand-that-feeds-you behavior is bullshit. Sunlight Supply is also threatening to blackball any Hydro shop that doesn't sign their "Marijuana Policy" - Basically, if someone mentions Marijuana in your shop you have to throw them out, otherwise SS blackballs you

    I dunno about everybody else, but I'm currently developing several grow projects over the next few months and will probably be spending $20k+ on supplies, Not sure where I'll get my stuff now but I can tell you which vendor won't be getting my money.

    If SS or any indoor grow supply manufacturer who wants to stick their head in the sand and pretend their products arn't being used to cultivate marijuana, that's their right to do - the US is a free country and they'll always have the right to discriminate. But similarly, consumers like myself who spend a shitton of money on these products can choose to take their business where its appreciated.
     
  3. Maybe instead of using a scorched earth policy to try to hide behind a fake squeaky clean image, they ought to pick up the fight to be allowed out in the open like the better companies (*cough* Advanced Nutrients *cough*) have done.

    Honestly, there are not enough fanatical indoor tomato growers out there to keep Sunlight Supply in business, and certainly not to the tune of the hundreds of millions they make a year (or whatever it is... it's a great big number though.) The only people ignorant to the real source of Sunlight Supply's income are people deliberately ignorant.


    Quit stepping on the little guy to do battle with the slightly less smaller guy. That's just playground bully tactics. Especially when, if you choose to extend the metaphor, the bully in this case gets no love at home and relies upon those he bullies to put enough money in his pocket to buy lunch each day.

    Rather than trying to obliterate anyone who even says the word "marijuana" anywhere near any of your products, maybe you ought to be fighting to defend the rights of everyone to say that sort of thing or better yet, grow that sort of thing.


    Douchebag Supply - just where is the business sense in pissing off your customers, terrorizing your distributors, and otherwise showing your backside the the general public when instead you could be working to expand your customer base exponentially through decriminalization?


    Straighten up and fly right. Me and my dollars are going elsewhere until you start acting like a responsible adult. In fact, I'll do whatever I can to spend money wherever you oppose it.
     
  4. Anyone who has been around growing and has followed Advanced Nutrients since they came on the scene knows Big Mike is a drama queen and attention whore. I respect AN's products, but do not play into his BS hype games. I have spoken to 15 or so hydro shop owners in my state and they have heard nothing of this and all of them carry Sunlight Supply products. They all kind of agreed it is just more hype from the old attention whore himself....Big Mike.
     
  5. So where's the proof anyone did anything? Except of hearsay which someone used to make an over dramatized video making himself look like someone you don't want to do business with.
     

  6. And what exactly makes you a fuckin expert? I am simply sharing information with other folks I think it concerns.....maybe you can explain this "shit" to us retards?? Or is it that you don't know what is going on?? Come on and enlighten me!!
     
  7. really fed up with these threads....
     

  8. How about some common sense. You seem to take info from one company at face value and then spread the propaganda with out even an ounce of proof.


    So you spread info that you don't even know is true.

    Some people are just pure sheep.
     

  9. And some people walk around with the wool pulled over their eyes.......
     

  10. Sorry buddy but I spent 7 years till 2009 in a hydro retail store so know more of the BS between all hydro companies then you can imagine, but hey Sheep On Trucking.
     
  11. big mike reminds me of a used car salesman, are you really going to trust what hes got to say?? cmon now, enough with the BS propaganda threads, just open up a website and dedicate it to the cause, im really fed up with this BS, i plan to put on ignore anyone who i see start these threads, cuz the mods cant seem to do anything about it, so if i gotta put 50 ppl on ignore it wont bother me, as long as i dont gotta hear this bs again

    anyone sick of these threads stop reading. why even bother typing if you are so sick of it

    not aimed at you jd. you actually showed links and showed why you believe what you do

    bottom line is i dont know who is right or wrong, or which business is telling the truth but im pretty sure big business does strong arm a lot and they rely on reputations to keep people on their side. honestly though if MJ is illegal where you people should know better than to go into a store, that has their liscense/business in mind, and ask how to grow an illegal substance. read up online or something or research what you need before you go. i understand that it is legal for medical use but at least in the US its by state govt and is still illegal in federal eyes. so be careful and buy whatever products do the best for your plants regardless if you like who owns the company or not.
     
  13. I was just in my local hydro shop yesterday and I noticed a MJ policy sign on the register...although I didnt take the time to read it(I thought it was a given to not talk about MJ at these stores?). Sunlight supply also has a set up in my town...and the hydro shop sells their stuff, but they also sell AN products as well.

    I do find it funny though if this is the case where SS is saying dont sell items that pertain to growing MJ...I saw that SS sells carbon filters to(under Phresh filters), how many tomato growers need to scrub the air?

  14. Whats amazing is how many of you seem to think businesses that don't talk/advertise about weed are sell outs and not "keeping it real". I'd like to see you start up a hydro company and say all your equipment is for growing weed. Lets see how long you have before you are shut down and try to renew your business license. Please step back into the real world.

    As for tomatoes vs charcoal filters, have you tired growing tomatoes or other vegetables indoors? From your answer I guess not.
     
  15. wow man...just relax...I said I didnt take the time to even read it, just that I noticed one. And if you read it, you would see I was saying that SS has a setup in the same town as my local hydro shop and they sell both sunlight supply and Advanced Nutes.

    Not even sure where your coming from, did I say the store wasnt keeping it real. Nope. I was just saying how I thought it was a given to not talk about MJ in the hydro shops. I can completly understand why hydro shops dont want people talking about MJ...its illegal.

    And you are right I dont grow tomatoes inside...I have a garden for that in my backyard.

    Numb
     
  16. to be completely honest, this sounds like a spam more than a sham... yanno, to get advanced nutrients' name out there

    honestly, i couldn't give a rats ass about some alleged thug tactic from anyone... if a product does what i need it to do and it is a good value, i'll stick with it. i will not make my choice in product be dictated by an unsubstantiated and dramatic vent about the competitors.

    though, to be honest, this is making me less inclined to purchase his products if i needed to. if a company is acting like a child with their competitors, what's to say they won't act like a child with their customers?
