Giving Tree Dispensary (Med/Rec)

11/9/2013
(Deer Valley) Have visited about 10-12 times since GT has opened. When they had first opened their meds were fantastic with prices extremely too high. 400-440$ ounces? I dont think so, especially with a couple other dispensaries prices.. This makes me sick because the meds I grow (and now have to stop growing at the end of december because of this place in particular) blow each and every strain they have ever had (The old frankenberry, tangerine, and original Cannadential were fantastic ill give them that). However, as a grower, I can tell the neglect and carelessness the plants had been given. I can also tell the "indoor" meds I was sold were most definitely OUTDOOR. Looks and taste give that one away. They need to hire new growers or at least hire someone that can teach the current growers what nutrients and nutrient schedules are. Since opening, I have noticed a steady and disappointing decline of quality in GT's meds. The cure is now half-assed, they are extremely skimpy on nutrients, they plants were begging for food. So much actually that the growers harvested the plants early because the plants had been loosing color (This is caused when the plants are deprived of food and begin to take the stored nutrients from leaves that you're suppose to leave until the last couple weeks) I know this as a fact because half of the pistils on the buds are still white. Meaning the plant had not fully matured when it was harvest. This leads to prematurely developed trichomes, meaning very decreased thc content. Like mentioned before, after they first opened the meds were trimmed properly, fresh, moist, cured properly, and of much higher quality. My last unfortunate complaint is of the bud tenders. The two I absolutely love is the middle aged blonde lady, she is very sweet and was always extremely happy to help. And the bigger boned (please do not take as offensive the dude is super cool) guy, he is always awesome and fun to work with; loves to chat with patients and gives off a very caring-vibe. Now for the negative part. About the bald guy with gauges, wears the fedora looking hat. I went awhile refraining from posting anything bad about the guy. The first bad experience I thought maybe he just had a bad day. The second time, I thought maybe a bad 2 weeks? But nope 3,4,5th time this guy needs to have something brought to light. First off, the guy is pretty rude. Walking in, he looks right at me "hey hows it goin" Then looks right back at his computer not acknowledging me until I ask for something. Does not ask anything on a personal level to build any type of relationship, and when I asked about combining a discount I got a rude response as if I was asking him to just give me free stuff. "You want me to do both of them..???" Like damn right, with as much as I have spent there. It's not coming out of his pocket (or anyones really with prices like they charge) 330 for stuff you can get from 250 at other dispensaries. And the 400 dollar ounces are an easy 320-340 anywhere else. I think thats enough ranting for now. Ill be back once more to use my 40$ credit and probably wont return. GT better change something because the competition is now having me drive 50 minutes south (40 minutes south of GT, meaning I drive right past them) Pros: A few of the people there are great. Friendly, caring, and fun to work with. Location is fantastic, Very safe and convenient. Cons: Read all above In short: Prices, people, product. The big the P's. 2/5 2/5 2/5
