@Pipecarver found the best oscillating fan deal for this Black Friday. So I asked son to grab them for me. I’ll just give him the money.



Hope they don’t use Canada post.

Sons having issues. It’s not cooperating. He also miss understood like PC and almost ordered two sets.

Okay, think we got it now. But it’s not real clear that you’re getting two fans for $58.

Nope. It’s either changed or they just explained it poorly.



You buy two you get a third free. So not that great a deal. I only need a third if one fails. I’d rather just get a discount on the pair.

Order canceled, back to looking. Was hoping AC Infinity would have better than 10% off.

That'll be the best time for a deal imo

When Pipe showed the add I read it like that, BUY 2 get 1 Free.
He said/showed an email where they said he is getting 2 fans for price of one~!

CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

i was working in belgium and one weekend me and two co workers drove into the city and just kept working our way outwards till we found a hotel that actually had rooms. This was a planned trip. Because my buddies had been there before for work. Head office used to be there. Might still be...

Ya, I thought he was waiting before buying the printer while I waited for the right fan deal. Once I found out he bought his toy I wanted mine.

After this harvest I’m going to open them up and clean them. See how bad the gears are this time. It’s that soft plastic you can mark with your finger nail. I was able to get almost another year out of oscillating just by heating and mucking around with them. I imagine they are beyond that now.

I agree that’s how it reads in the email but it’s still charging $120 so that’s double to me. Should have -$59 with the free one to make proper sense imo.

We’ll see what Pipecarver gets if it arrives before the deals are over.

Strawberry Lemonade should be ready in about a week.

Haunted Banana I’ll have to start watching closely.

Jilly Bean is swelling up nicely but has a way to go yet.

I received only 2 fans yesterday, Their buy 2 get 1 free is some kind of scam. I sent them a nasty email telling them I'm going to spread the word today and through Black Friday not to trust Mars Hydro Ads. I'll never buy another item from them if they don't honour their ad. Fkin lost in translation what Buy 2 get 1 Free means. Or buy 1 get 1 free like their return email suggested MFkers!

I just checked my mail

Greetings from Mars Hydro.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

The promotion activity on our website buy 2 get 1 free does mean add any three items, and one is free. (See the reference picture in the attachment.) And we are sorry for the misunderstanding caused to you.

We cherish you very much, so we have applied with the manager to send you another fan for free, is that acceptable to you?

Sorry again for the inconvenience caused to you, and thank you for your understanding and support.

Looking forward to your reply!

Best Regards

 

[Max]

I’d tell them no..that’s not acceptable as you already owe me 1 fan so how bout throw another in and I’ll call it quits.

what tossers.

That’s good you’ll get what they promised but still sucks they say it’s your fault for miss understanding their ad.

It sounds like buy two and you get a third for free is what they mean. So no real deal, for me at least.

Thanks for updating so quickly PC. Guess I’ll keep looking. All of these fans have gone stupid in price. Not sure how they figure a clip fan is worth $65-$85 depending on the brand. From what I’ve been told they don’t last any longer.

 

[Pipecarver]

Yes but in all fairness it does say buy 3 and 1 is free in small print but its confusing I only added 2 items it should just be assumed if you buy 2 you get 3 shipped

So if you want a free one you have to buy 3 and they only charge for 2.

 

[Max]

I bought these black ones which are near the same as zens .2 for $38.00. Now 40.00 .starting to go funny on the oscilating but have outlasted the dearer ones..9 months so far.ones like zens only last 6 months.. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/363905384044?var=633652730940

 

[Zen_seeker]

Actually if you buy two they automatically add the third now. For free. That’s what happened when my son was trying to buy them.

I bought these black which are near the same as zens .2 for $38.00. Now 40.00 seem to last bout the same lol.starting to go funny on the oscilating but have outlasted the dearer ones..9 months so far.ones like zens only last 6 months.. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/363905384044?var=633652730940

These have lasted 3 years so far. One was bought later. I have had to fix the oscillating once on both. Even with the middle bars or SCROG frame up the fans get stuck when negative pressure sucks the sides in.

For $23.95 each I think they are worth it. But since Covid they haven’t gotten any more stock from China. They aren’t sure they will be getting more.

6" Grip Clip Fan

Power code: 20W, diameter: 6.3” Two speeds, 180 degree oscillation Typically used on grow tent poles Power Cord: 5ft , UL plug

That’s pretty good going zen.the first ones I bought lasted a yr and look pretty much the same .from then on I’ve had nothing but problems with them..breaking from where the cord came out so I took them in and they got the company to change the cord location as I showed them i vid of one Arking out smoking with small flames coming from it…twice lol..I’ve gone through over 10 in 2 years since the first ones.all fucked up on the oscilating.I’ve removed the guts on 2 i have now,changed the clip to a floor one..

when I fitted the black ones to the pole they would hit it when oscilating so I changed over the clip off the broken ones.

The ad reads like you buy 2 and get a third for free, but the email they sent you made it sound like it was buy-one-get-one-free. Unless I'm missing something, they messed this up all the way around.

 

[Zen_seeker]

I know Strawberry Lemonade is going to be ready soon.


I swear the pic goes blurry just as I click it.

 

[Zen_seeker]

I got lucky with the SL. Not a lot of weight but Frosty as F**k. Even the lowers. Wish I could repeat this more consistently.


HB is getting juicy.


Jilly Bean is going to be good too.

 

[Zen_seeker]

20241202: Day 63F W9

Lights on but door is open. -3* outside and 17* in the basement.

JB


HB


SL


Trying not to rush things. SL should be done by the end of this week.

JB still has a bit to go but swelling nicely.

HB is swelling but started fading fast this week. Cal Mag issue or just the cold temps this week?

I was planning to take a break until I get the POTM prize seeds. Start up in early spring with something new. But my son heard my plan and was against it. Lol. So I said why don’t you try growing a few while I watch/guide you? He said he’d been thinking that as well. So we’ll see if that pans out after I chop this harvest to hang.

After explaining a few things he wants to use both tents with a SCROG in each. I supply everything and he does the work and checking. After harvest we split the jars. Sounds good to me, if he’s committed.

 

[Observer]

Feeding is tomorrow. Wanted to do a bit more on the HB. Tents temp and humidity has been a bit better.

Leave them alone for a few days. See how HB does now that she’s shaped a bit and turned 45*. The rest are done.

I like small pots and big plants

Lol

 

[Zen_seeker]

Son printed me out two different size trays and a set of rings so a bump won’t knock everything over. They can be used separately.



Now he’s printing spools for his refills. Later a card shuffler for his games. He better save enough material to make two gears.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Just watching and waiting…

 

[Zen_seeker]

Lights on


Lights off

Outside is -1* while the basement is 16*. Damp, windy & cold.

Enjoying the lower temperatures and humidity. Above is lights on. I keep forgetting to do a lights out but iirc temperature was 19* and humidity 56%. But it’s only using a passive intake via the bottom mesh/screen. (Added lights off pic.)

Having the 4” in-line booster fan as an intake makes a difference. Sometimes it’s only minimal but others it’s quite a bit.

Leaves are fading on the HB still. Day 65 so I’ll scope them all this weekend.


Other two just have some nute/tip burn but are doing fine. The plan is to still chop the SL on the weekend. Maybe the HB if she’s ready. I think she’s still swelling but that could be wishful thinking.

SL lower.

Hey, the 3rd Mars hydro fan came today so I did get the buy 2 get 1 free but I had to pressure them to get it. Had I not sent them emails I wouldn't have got the deal and the deal is the only reason I bought them. I really only needed 1...2 Its nice to have a spare, now I have 2 spares, One I can use in my veg tent and get rid of the no grill one.

I also bought a new Rikon scroll saw 16" variable speed today ( Lee valley). I used to have a King but it was a piece of crap. I had fun with it until it vibrated itself apart and stopped working.

Now that I have my room separated I can do more wood working without dusting up my buds. I see me doing cat cut outs

Nice! Glad someone got a good deal. Only good ones I found were in the states. G$ found a marshydro buy one get one free for $59 on the actual Black Friday. Nope, states only.

Excellent. Lee Valley is expensive but they carry and deliver hard to find things.

I like the top right one. Looks real, like my old cat Sam(antha).

You can do the old man or bear silhouette leaning against a tree that was popular in the 90’s.


Just don’t make those dam lighthouses you see everywhere in the Kawartha lakes.

Does this mean you’re starting the shop back up? Been a while. Like watching your creations and hearing about your efforts and successes. I miss wood work but your heart has to be in it. Need to pay attention, have focus.

It was just a 2 for 57 deal.
They're 29.99 a pop here. Sale is still going too.
