Yeah ourdoors herb is pretty cheap, maybe he meant to say 250 for a quarter pound, I can't imagine it's that cheap in bulk. Wouldn't be worth it to sell it.
Plus if you imported 8 ounces, that's considered "for sale or supply" so you'd be looking at 1-10 years in prison and a fine up to €250,000 I believe. I don't think there's a mandatory minimum tho.

1 of the top colas on me super skunk is the same man. there was only a couple of red hairs on her yesterday and theres alot more today, have to order that microscope thursday.
the top flower arived on that plant bout week and half before any of the rest of them on the same plant,
im thinking of cutting the top off when ready and leaving the rest of the plant go a lttle bit longer til its ready, bit awkward for flushing tho
Why? All you have to do is wipe, pull the handle and then wash your hands...

Depends on what type of buzz you like smokey, chop when cloudy for more of a head high, chop amber for more couch lock body stone and 50/50 for best of both, beware tho you can get an odd strain that doesent change to amber and can stay cloudy, quite rare tho.

Post some nice close up pics ae and we will give you a guesstimation on when they will be ready! the last two weeks tend to be the most productive for bud growth, sometimes well nearly all the time, its not until you have chopped the plant and you are trimming it that you start to see that you have done well

My opinion on tric colour is...

If you want a confusing, headache filled, sleepy couchlock harvest at amber.

If you want a nice chilled, pain-reliever with medicinal properties you want to harvest an indica at cloudy.

If you want a soaring head high, harvest a sativa at cloudy.

If you want to get the full effect of your strain, harvest when the chemicals are at their peak, don't try make a plant something it's not by degrading the cannaboids. When a tric turns amber the THC and other primary chemicals are lost, leaving CBD (I believe, could be CBN, always mix those two up, it's a mental block or something) which is what gives that dirty, dizzy "couch lock".

So anyways, if you want a different buzz just change genetics ;)

Reckon I'm getting fairly close on this one, I will have to check the trichs when the lights go out as the hps just colours everything orange. Will probably do a 5-7 day flush on this one, I've never flushed before but my buds have never tasted as good as they could have, so hopefully it will go someway towards improving that.

Aslo going to make some qwiso hash as well with the trimmings, the sugar leaves have so much frost on them I think there should be a decent result, anyone ever smoked qwiso before?

It's quick wash isopropyl alcohol hash, you just shake the trimmings in a jar with some isopropyl, strain the whole lot into a dish, leave a fan blowing on it for a day or two and the alcohol evaporates leaving you with just the hash. Can do the same thing using cold water but it's not as effective.

Only way to make em taste good is to dry em and cure em properly. Its a slow process, you have to bear in mind the stuff we buy that smells and tastes amazing is probably several months old, maybe even longer.
