Fuck Shultz Perlite!!!
    #5372635 - 03/06/06 10:21 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

i have my foot in my mouth right now.

i always, ALWAYS bought Perlite in 4-Cubic Foot bags from the local nurseries - to use for humdifying my terrariums.

i've since given up perlite tubs.
however, i decided i wanted to keep a tub or two of cakes for the sole purpose of getting awesome prints and headstash shrooms.

(say what you want, but IMO the prettiest boomers come off cakes)

so, in a pinch, in the middle of the night... the only place to get Perlite is goddamn-motherfucking-suck-my-balls-corporate-fuck Wal-M**t...

i used to get Shultz Perlite back in the day (when i didn't NEED perlite in HUGE HUGE quantities) and never had a problem with it, other than the higher than normal price...

so i went out and grabbed a couple bags.

now, correct me if i'm wrong, but when it says:

"INGREDIENT: PERLITE"

one would expect JUST THAT.
so WHY, oh WHY does every bag have traces/chunks of potting soil in them?!?

seriously.
i even went back to that piece of shit run-the-country-conglomerate place JUST to SPITEFULLY open (yeah, tore em open) bag after bag (ok, so i was kinda drunk) of Shultz Perlite to find that they were all the same.

what is the deal?
why are they doing this?
am i just super paranoid, or are they fucking with us?

it makes me sad. seriously. especially since Shultz is from STL (St. Louis, MO)

i LOVE STL.
all kindsa good shit comes from STL...
Budweiser
the Cardinals (when they still had Ozzie Smith)
the Arch
Me (yup)

i just wanted to warn those of you who are still buying Perlite.
if you're in a pinch, so be it.
but if you can wait, go to your local nursery or hydroponics supply and get High-grade Horticultural (extra coarse) perlite.

end of drunken tangent.
back to work.
:tongue2:

I've got a 4cf.ft. bag of Therm-o-rock Perlite and it's got nothing but white perlite. Sorry to hear about the trouble you're getting.

um... seriously.
Coda... up untl now, i woulda been with you on this.
i NEVER had this kinda problem.
but these (this season) bags of perlite are not what they used to be.
i'm used to WHITE, DUSTY (as in needing a dust mask, or die from inhalation) Perlite. never had a compalaint in my 6+ years of using Perlite. And I STARTED OFF with the readily available Shultz Perlite... but now, its not the same.

this is nothing more than a rant and a warning.

Honestly, i would LOVE to know if anyone else has this problem this season.

like i said... i USUALLY go for the bulk quantity perlite from the nusery. but since i'm moving everything into my Martha i haven't needed it.

either Shultz had a bad day/week/month... or "They" are fucking with us.

to further my point:
where i live, they have pulled 1/2 pint wide mouth jars from the shelves. my bro has been bringing them down from my hometown...

coincidince?
i'm glad i'm moving away from the traditional homegrow (1991+ teks)
from now on, its WBS-Poo-LC for me.

i feel HORRIBLE for the peeps that are just now taking up this research/hobby.

not to mention, Kerr has altered the shape of their jars.
and, yes, i have proof.

and like i said...

i never have trouble with the 4 Cu-Ft. bags of Bulk Perlite from the Nursery (regardless of brand)

i'm talking about the little 8-Quart bags.

i KNOW where to get GOOD perlite.
i simply was working in the middle of the night and Wally-Fuck-World was my ONLY choice.

I'm glad I never used perlite in mush cult.

Went straight to grain spawn, to bulk substrates, cased. :thumbup:

Fuck Wal-M**T. My sentiments exactly. I'll drive right by WM, and an extra 20 minutes, just to go to Lowes or Home Depot. I don't/won't support monopolization of our capitalist system.

Yes, that's what I said. They are not, nor have they ever been owned by the Walton family. I have also worked for that company, and have seen the internal "brainwashing" they attempt on their employees. It's just my PREFERENCE not to shop there if I can help it, which is a view shared by others on this site and elsewhere...yah.

HAHA, I get a kick out of the fact you were tearing bags of perlite open in a dunken rampage :rockon:. I baught a bag of Shultz about 2 weeks ago but haven't opened it yet. I might be doing the same if I get the same results.

thats cool but you still are a hypocrite.

You cant say: "I don't/won't support monopolization of our capitalist system." and shop at lowes or home depot. A major corp is a major corp regardless if its owned by the walton family. Lowes and Home Depot have done their fair share of shady shit too, i wont even begin on how many mom and pop hardware shops have shut down because of their presence in towns.

Point is you cant hate on wal mart and embrace other major stores like lowes or home depot. BTW i know all about wal mart mentality, i know the VP of human resources personally and believe me that mans business ethics are cleaner then christ's. Shady shit goes on everywhere, enron, merryl lynch, microsoft... wal mart is just a convienent target since its so accessible by everyone.

I'd support Home Depot and Lowes over Walmart anyday.

That store is a fucking jungle but coda is right on everything he said. Back to topic, I love shultz products from their vermiculite to the potting soil to the perlite. Never had a bad item from them, probably never will.

Seems like you just got a one in a million fucked up item. Brother in law once opened a back of Oke Doke popcorn and found a fucking razorblade in it. A RAZORBLADE com'n what if a kid ate that shit lol.
