Despite rising profits, British gas are about to raise their electricity prices by 16% and gas by 19% or something, time to boycott them, not least because of their "fraudulent" terms and conditions as they have told me, i recall when the government said they were increasing taxes on northern gas and oil production and the guys that owned the sites said they simply wouldn't use them any more until the taxes were suitable, the consequence was that gas and electricity prices would go up. Cunts

British Gas are the biggest cunts out there. I saw em on Watchdog last year, people had come home from work etc to find British Gas had entered there house and fitted Gas meters without the home owners knowlage or consent. British Gas told Watchdog that all people had been sent letters and it wasnt there fault if they had not recieved them. When Watchdog asked them what they had to drill peoples locks and enter there home without express writen permission they said some shite alomg the lines of as gas is very dangerous thy could do as they pleased.

we have been with british gas (just for gas) for few years and tried to swap to a different company last year. British Gas told us because we were on a fixed price plan untill Feb it would cost £90 to swap, not having the cash we said to the other company leave it for now and we will swap in Feb when the plan ends. Feb came and we rang to tell them we wanted to swap and they told us this wasnt possible because we on a fixed plan untill sept. After shouting and swearing for about 5 mins the woman on the other end said sept was the only time in 2011 that any plans ended and so we got her to send an email with that date in. now we have a leg to stand on so bring it on British Gas, I have shit bigger than you lol.

Got some tiny bud pics lol. Dont tell me size doesnt matter heard that all my life lmfao. Should have started a journal amount of pics i have taken just over the last week but i know if i stick them on and something doesnt look right you guys will help out . Start the 4th week of flowering tmw.

two guys in my area dead at the weekend and another 2 in hospital becoz of the new pills. thers fuckin cops crawlin all over the place, every cunt is jumpy, gettin a bar of solid earlier was like fuckin mission impossible, usually i just go to the guys house but it was all phone me when ur here, drivin up back roads, even weraing gloves and stuff! hope to fuck they catch the clown whos puttin out dangerous gear, it fucks the whole thing up for every cunt and gives those whining anti-drugs fuckers even more ammo.

fuckin hell, you know anything about whats in it?? its probably not "super strength", just a really mucky batch! maybe ill save myself £40 then ....

The plants make trichomes in order to attract a male and for the pollen to stick to the buds aswell, and when it gets darker longer than it has been then it kinda makes sense that the plant would make an extra push toward gettin pollenated and make more trichomes but how much can in 48 hours really......

wot attract male humans? it not like a plant can walk to some pussy. agree with the pollen sticking to the buds though,but iv always thought the trichromes were there to hinder creepy crawlies to an extent.also when little bugs to land on the trichs the shit dries up n the bug falls off aswell as egg sacs n shit.
most plants have these wee hairs its jus ganj has the kick to it lol

Its just like the animal world i suppose mate, the female with the biggest stickiest buds gets pollianted easier, and thats all they want afterall, sluts

 

[dura72]

dunno exactly mate but there were two different kinds around here both goin for £10 eac, pink diamonds and another kind that were a pink/red colour as well. me and my mate halved one and had a cpl of the bog standard ones as well along with sum beera and charlie. good strong hit but i'd heard(rumour) tha at least one of the dead guys had taken around four and had been on facebook sayin how wasted he was and how he wouldn't sleep that nite( he got that wrong, fucking big time). i would suggest that if you get them then just be careful mate. maybe it WAS just a bad batch or maybe they are very strong?? i just dont know, but i'm stearing well clear anyway.

Cannabis produces trichomes in order to protect it from the UVB rays that are given off by the sun. This is why flowering under MH gives greater trichome production then flowering under HPS. The best artificial light for trichome production is CMH because CMH has a higher rate of UVB.

lol ouch about the sleeping bit. Im gonna steer clear an all then mate, dont wanna end up as another fucking statistic. there was some REALLY good beans goin round sheff a couple weeks back, a tenner a pop but had you munchin your face off after one.

@ the trichome thing, looks like we have 3 possible reason for them.

I've heard of this "trick". However, the problem I have with this.. is, is that the trichs on the cannabis plant.. are not developed in order to protect the plant. Trichs have nothing to do with "protection" so to say. In other words, protection of the seeds.. is not done by the plants trichromes.

The trichs on a cannabis plant (the Glandular or 'dome top' trichs) hold resin/THC up inside the dome part of the trich.. also known as the 'head' of the trich.

The purpose of these phallic wonders, believe it or not, is not euphoria in humans. Most glandular trichomes in plants serve the same purpose as other types, with some glandular hairs serving to trap insects for semi-insectivorous plants. The production of THC is probably a development for warding off larger herbivores (Ever try to get your cat stoned? Most animals aren't fans of this.) with the psychotropic effects and the distinct smell.

The only thing the nail through the stem trick is going to do.. is stress the plant out, causing the plant to speed up. However, the downside to this method.. is the fact that your going to lose a percentage of your final yield.. because of the stress on the plant itself, as well as the fact that your causing the plant to speed its processes up.

ughh.. before I write a book on this subject, I'll stop with that last statement.

A little advice.. I personally wouldn't use this method if I were you.

I would use the other method.. which is just as good if not a little better.

The other method I'm talking about, is the '48 hours of darkness" method. Which basically, all you do is.. is whenever you think your plant(s) are ready for harvesting, you basically just take your plant(s) and put them in TOTAL darkness, with no interruptions.. for 48 to 72 hours. This will also stress the plant.. causing it to push out all the resin it possibly can.. therefore raising the potency of the final product.

I have only tried this method once. I wasn't able to really see a difference.. but I could almost taste/smell a little difference in the final product.. versus one that wasn't given the '48-72 hours of darkness' before harvesting. I mean, the difference is so small and minute.. that your not going to be able to really tell that there's extra resin that was produced during the long dark cycle before harvesting.

But, each to their own.. just trying to save you some time and possibly some heartache.

peace.

Looks good there

British gas are indeed cunts. Did you know they sell all of your information including payment history etc to 3rd parties? Yet they will heartily deny it if you email them and ask, yet in their terms and conditions... lol

I have not renewed my british gas contract in a long while, they like to play the old "auto-renewing" game, but a contract is a contract, tell them to email you a copy of your gas contract, they won't, because they most likely don't have one for you. They're certainly losing my and my families trade come august, if they get arsey i'll tell them fine, then i'm going to remove your meter from my house, my property my rules, no contract, go get fucked

They've tried to steal money from me countless times, the number of emails i've had to send asking why my account is £5 in debit (basically every time i pay a bill there appears some random unpaid amount in my account, which they always end up removing, short story they're probably just hoping, like with any fines or anything, that customers will just see it, not question it and pay up, multiply a measly £5 by every customer they have and they're laughing their way to the bank)

As to the what trichs do question, i don't really care too much for that cannabisguru's reply, seems nothing but his opinion from the way he states it. Furthermore, if the THC is to ward off predators, then it might stand to reason in the same kind of non-scientific debate as his, that if they then have seeds, they'll produce even more, to doubly ward off animals, it wants to spread those seeds. Who knows, and really, who cares either way it'll get you stoned unless you did a really shitty job or grew really shitty genetics

hahahahahaha bam
