that's why i'm confused.

i know of nirvanas reputation, but it seems to actually hapen across al my buds.

i've 2 jars of UK cheese that are equally shit and pointless to smoke.

yet the cheese i clipped early and oven dried, like with the fluffy crappy speed dried AK buds, got me utterly bliutezed, i also scraped.
I would dearly love to take you under my wing and get you on the track to stardom, unfortunately my hands are tied on the forums as to what I can and can't say, not by the forum you understand just my own rules to keep myself safe.

I think were slowly heading this way in the uk, people are getting tired of overpaying for damp and poor quality

same everywhere in the uk rite now i think, most solid is crap all green is overpriced and frequently underweight, every second cunt i know has started growing. at laest ur gonna know EXACTLY what went into ur smoke and its a fuckin good hobby into the bargain. i think if i broke it down my last grow would have cost less than £30 an oz.:clap:

Its not bad, we found someone who seems to be getting some good homegrown stuff, its a little wet but after a little drying times its a really nice smoke, but usually the stuff we get isnt that good, round here there isnt a choice and the dealers dont even know what they are selling, green is green to them. i have plenty of room in my house but since im only going for about 3 plants at first i havnt quite decided wer or how to get started. Thinking blueberry and maybe cheese to grow but i'll let the wife decide that haha. going to head into town on saturday and look at prices for lights etc.

If yo've got the space, and your gonna get a hps like a 600w or something, then might as well do a whole pack of ten reg seeds, 3 plants from your first grow won't last that long and you'll be back to buying for a couple months.

i might think about upping the amount, might start with maybe 5 or more instead then, i want to limit the amount of heat to as little as i can as the helicopter is out over my estate every night looking for grow houses, they recently busted 4 houses in town and we had a dry spell for a few weeks :(. im sure one light wont be noticable tho, i dunno, like i said im completly new to growing.

I used to know someone who lived on a council estate in a real rough area, choppers were out every night, he had 2x400w in his loft and didn't get anything come of it.

They can detect big ops because the whole house glows, smaller ones are harder to distinguish from a heater if you control the temps right, especially when you consider how high up the heli is and what infrared would look like even if they zoomed in good.

sounds good! im thinking for periods when im going to be wanting the lights off, since its pitch black up there anyway i'll just time it so its off around 11pm ish as thats usually when its flying around just to be extra carefull but like you said it'll be hard to notice anyway.

imo all the stuff bout the helis is 90% scare tactics.

i no of many who run 2/3 hps lights n have done for many years without ne probs.

it cost 1000s to run a heli n not every police county even has the heat detecters most have to borrow them n even then i dont beleive they r seeing the small grows i.e 2-3 lights most of the time when u hear a heli its chasing some smackhead ina stolen car n filming it for fucking road wars lol

its just the fact ur doing somefin illegal n weed makes ya para neway that every heli we hear oh it must be lookin for grow ops???

Hiya! I'm an American, recently moved to the UK and wanting to start up growing! (RiffiX is my hubby) I was a little disappointed at what was available on the move over as I'm used to having quite a large selection of grade and strain and like RiffiX mentioned we just sort of get what we get here. Our main goal is to produce some nice strains that will end up being enough to supply our personal use. We are sort of considering upping the plants a bit since it seems you can do a reasonable amount under one light, but want to take it easy for our first grow. We want to get a few types on the go, I'm thinking a blueberry, kush and some alaskan thunderfuck if I can get my hands on it! :P

getting a mix is good, but you need to match up your strains very carefully otherwise you won't get the best out of anything, if you have a plant that grows tall under the same light as one that grows short, then neither will be getting optimum light.

You can still get the kind of vairance your looking for, but you have to pick them carefully for compatibility.

Ahh thanks, there is something else to think about. Well we have a bit more research to do before we start anything of course! I'm going to have a read through all the stickies in newbie central as well. Perhaps it is best to just start out with a single strain, at least for our first grow, but it sounds really nice to have a variety :D

imo starting with just a single strain and getting to no it is the best way to go especially if its ya first time.

all i have grown is blueberry but i grow it well (finally lol) n after all the experience i have with blueberry only now do i feel confident for new strains.

Yeah, after talking about it a bit more, I think we will probably end up starting with just one strain. Will be hard to pick which one though, so many choices!!
