Update …..
Barneys farm blue gelato 41
In-house genetics black cherry pie
In-house genetics sticky glue freebie
Dna genetics sour banana sherbet
Day 45 since 12/12
Day 39 since first hairs
Dno what people go off on there own grows I let the blue gelatos and sour bananas go to day 63 last time gna let them run longer this time maybe 70 …… wish I took cuts of the sticky glue and the bcp was meant to be having a break from growing after this run but I really wanna keep the genetics going the sticky glue is summit else in my opinion
First 3 pics are bg41 same pheno but one plant is a deeper green than the other 3 in the tent haven’t got a clue why …..
4th is black cherry pie ….. purple bud throughout lovely colours and a really sweet smell
5th is sour banana sherbet solid plant should pack on some serious weight in final few weeks great smoke and finish
6 , 7 , 8 is the sticky glue by in house genetics which is my eyes so far is everything you want in a plant it’s dense it’s smelly it’s colourful I’m in love I wish I had a tent full and really making me wanna not have a sabbatical off the growing I’m in love with it and it was a freebie that’s the best part

hope your grows are bringing you as much joy as mine is to me peace out

Looks the nuts mate !

After spending since 8:30pm chonging on this pipe it’s really good.

all in was just a little over £18.

if you hit it like a bong It’s a bit throaty.

if you hit it like an actual pipe it’s a beautiful chuff.

Nice flavour (made sure I washed the pipe first) as you draw it, the water begins to bubble.

Good amount of smoke too, bowl stays lit pretty well.

well worth the money and it didn’t take too long considering it came from China.

Question I’m new here.
How do you U.K. growers get away with electricity usage, moving into new property property has basement with plenty of space.
I done a bit of maths and the electricity usage on just 1000w light puts you 2-3x more than the usage of the average household.

my question here is how many watts can I run without getting too greedy, what is considered red flags to the electric company ?

couple mates said as soon as I move into property run the lights, so usage starts straight away pretty high.
I shouldn’t be growing with this paranoia but I just need reassurance on how many lights I can use without raising flags. How many lights do you use ? How much electricity do you consume? Need some re assurance that I can run 1000w or even 2000w without no problems from the old bill

Whatever you use PAY FOR.

The U.K. “average” of 3300kwh per year is so outdated.

all you would need is a decent sized fish tank of 200L with a light etc and you’re above the average consumption.

Unless you’re planning on using 6000w of lighting (6x1000w of actual wattage) then I wouldn’t worry.

I never recommend stealing electricity.

if you’re running that much that you need to steal then you should consider renting a warehouse and setting up a shill company etc.

I would never bypass the electricity, if you get caught growing weed, they would say it's a fire risk and you could end up in jail.
I keep my plant count low, running cost low and my lights look basic and cheap, so I am more likely to get a fine.

a 600w in an air cooled hood with a Wilma4 pot lol.

That's not good, how did you get caught?
Did you get a fine?

loose lips.

I had a guy do some construction for me ( H beam in a supporting wall ) which was when I switched the closet door from the kids bedroom into the master bedroom.

he was my best mate and knew what I was doing etc.

He opened his mouth to someone about me, that someone got caught with a container full, he opened his mouth to try and get a lesser sentence etc.


i got a house search with warrant, they showed me the warrant so I showed them exactly where it was to ease the “hunt” for it.

I was arrested, placed in holding cells for 2 hours, interviewed for 30mins and given a caution for my 4 plants, 1 mother and 8 clones.

Then they gave me a lift home. During that lift home came the “off the record conversations”.

hot fuzz:- who’s dealing in your area?
me :- no clue mate I’ve been self sufficient for the last 3 years.

end of convo lol.

Best mate grassing you up, wow that's not good, I don't see the point of grassing as in most cases it not going to reduce your sentence.
what did you mate get?
I guess caution was the best outcome you could hope for.

TBH 3 people know I grow that don't live with me, one has a lot of medical problems, and the weed helps with his pain and his brother can't grow too well(he just split up with the wife and depressed), so I give him everything (homemade LEDs, soil, pots, plants, filter, and fan, tell him what to do, he's following my advice and pulling a lot of bud, he's very happy.

Wasn’t the mate who grassed me up but someone he knew who he talked to about the work done for me.

the lad who got caught. 18months inside.
