Well, the never ending story is still never ending......I still haven't got my stuff, I am out by more than 1200 Euro in not delivered items, the growshop
www.growxl.nl claims they have been raided by the police and their bank accounts has been frozen, does not reply to emails anyone, phone is not answered and such, their official office address is in an abandoned dilapidated building in an industrial area........from the Dutch forums I can see I am not the only one by far........and is still accepting order without any indications of any trouble, more here, use google translate

https://www.jointjedraaien.nl/wietf...p-growXL?p=529635&highlight=growxl#post529635 for starters.....be warned, all indications is it is a scam!
So, I almost gave up on growing, but has managed to get 2 x Think Different and 3 x Frisian Dew growing in 4 Smartpots and 1 Thorny Trappypot with an airdome in it for good measure, filled with normal potting soil I happened to have. Lights are 2 x 500w Topled with 5 w chips, and the plants seem to be doing so so, day 33 and largest Dew and TD is now 36 cm and bushy as hell. Will see if I can get the enthusiasm up and start a noob grow journal where pretty much everything and anything has gone wrong at every turn, mainly thanks to the new Law here.
I also have 4 x Frisian Ducks growing in 10 liter pots in the garden, but man oh boy, they are real stinkers.....dunno how log I dare to keep them there.....another reason for trying everything to get the 150x300 cm grow tent that is among the items paid for but never delivered.
The local growshop has been raided too, all their electronics, lights, seeds, soil, nutes, etc. was collected in a truck. Was told the other day when I popped by the Police has started to auction off what they have confiscated without a court order, and there is now a trade in buying back your own stuff from the auctions.......go figure!
