The UK growers thread!

hey guys, currently got 2 ww (topped and tied) and 2 morning glory (topped only) under a 400w in soil, got about 4 wks to harvest, these pics are about 2wks old .. ww first




and the morning glory..


a for weed prices, my most recent scores were a half of uk cheese at 75 and a halves of g13 for 70... seems pricer than some of you guys pay but the gear was excellent and well worth every penny, the g13 in particular, it really kicked my ass - i'd smoke half a jay and come around like an hour later staring into space and dribbling like a fool

lol. sounds like good stuff!
oh yeah, the bbc tag was inspired by dynamites thread on the documentary on wether weed was bad or not. check it out:BBC: Horizon - Cannabis: The Evil Weed?

its very interesting.

as for a good strain outdoors, i have white rhino last year, that was great. iv got trainwreck this year, looking forward to it.

Nice to see uk growers like me. The reason i started growing was of the shit weed was buying,its like powered green seaweed and once every 2 years a 8th of blueberrty comes along.
I believe this country shud hav same laws as the dam,locking us away for doin natures thing,who do these leaders think they are!

hey peeps whos goin outdoor this year then. i no i wil be, fuk the dealers, lol. il just be growin my bag seed into 8ft monsters n let nature do the rest. As for the weed front has sum nice uk cheese last week. just bout gone tho


Happy uk growin lol

i get reasonable stuff all the time, never dipped usually dry, sometimes it can be a little on the damp side and a few too many stems but its still nice weed.

I currently have 2 female hash plants and 1 og cheese cutting 30 odd days in to veg going for 2 months veg and then bloom, no top no tie no bend just natural

WTF is that stuff they spray on green?

It makes the ash go stiff and doesn't tap off property, some kind of silicon spray maybe?

its dipped in something, but i think its better not to know the truth and just stay away from it and smoke your own

Word, I hear you there.

No one wants to deal with Criminals.... no morals..... not like us mellow stoners.

Yes Boys!

Some info copied from 'Gritweed Awareness Campaign". Its everywhere in the UK, almost everyone I know has been sold a bit! Some is sprayed on before the harvest so the buds grow and disguise it to the naked eye almost. Worth a read:

************************************

The first reports of this so called gritweed in the UK dates back to Spring / Summer 2006 when a handful of localized cases were identified. Since then the supply of this contaminated "skunk" appears to have increased dramatically, infiltrating all levels of the supply chain throughout the British Isles. Regular cannabis users now report that this gritweed is predominantly the only type of herbal cannabis available to them - a situation that many feel is a direct result of the police's recent wave of crackdowns on UK based cannabis growers which has had a marked effect on both the levels and quality of supply.

Currently it seems there are four main types of contaminant grit-weeds flooding the UK market, these are:

- Large Glass Particle Contamination
- Industrial Etchant Spray Contamination
- Sugar or Sand Contamination
- Micro Contaminants (stealth grit)

Unconfirmed reports suggest that smoking cannabis that is contaminated with any of the above has been linked with complaints by users of sore mouth, mouth ulcers, chesty persistent coughs, and a tight chest lasting a few days after use.

Fortunately, identifying most of the contaminated gritweed varieties is fairly straightforward. In most cases the weed will, at a glance, look of a good standard but it will not smell very strong at all. On further inspection the gritweed may seem like it is covered in what looks like THC crystals however these could be the contaminant glass / silica particles so a more detailed examination is required.

The surest method seems to involve testing the weed by placing a very small amount in your mouth and running it over your teeth / tongue. If you feel a gritty sand like residue when you clench your teeth together then chances are you are dealing with gritweed (probably the silica or road paint contaminant variety). If you don't feel any grit-like substance between your teeth but the weed tastes very sweet (sugary) then chances are it has been dusted with sugar to bulk out the weight.
