That programme wasn't half bad actually! A lot better than the "How drugs work". The only thing I didn't like is that frickin kid saying how fucked up he was from it and that he doesn't know how anyone can say it's not addictive. If he'd been necking vodka like he'd been smoking he'd probably be dead lol, or liver-less! The presenter didn't really probe to many questions he was just kind of a listener. Felt really bad for the guy with ME though, that must suck. That 246 plant grow op down in somerset was pretty sick! Greed got the better of the lad it seems!

Ha, yeh them californians really do have it good!

hey rollitup fans, i've been having problems with the seeds i've been getting, i had a little matchbox of bagseed where 4 out of 20 sprouted, then 3 turned to be male and the female suddenly died on me, she was halfway through flower and she was starting to smell great, the rest of the seeds never sprouted. I recently went to a headshop in my local area and got some regular white widow seeds, but unfortunately they have been unsuccessful aswell, 3 sprouted and were looking like they were going really well, then a day after they started dying from the root up. the other 2 did nothing. im pretty sure i did everything right i've been using a 125watt cfl and added smaller cfls. the humidity's been stable as has the temperature, ive been watering correctly and have been using compost from the garden and perlite, what could the problems be? and where could i find some strains that are easy to grow, i'm not too keen from the buying off the internet either. cheers guys

You're not overwatering them are you? That's usually a common problem amongst first growers, I drowned the fuck out of mine the first attempt lol. The compost might have gnats in it, they eat the roots and kill your plants from the underside up. You might want to try coco as a medium? It's very forgiving and very managable. Stick with Indicas if you want easier strains. WW is usually a pretty good one ...

Can I ask why you wouldn't like to buy off the net? Just considering it's probably safer than buying from a shop.

yeah its most likely the compst being a bit 'hot' for seedlings. why your half way through flower one died is hard to say without a pic. your local headshop will have seeds for sale, but as WOW says the internets a safer place to buy your equipment and seeds

www.picknmixseeds.co.uk carry pretty much everything strainwise.

personally i wouldnt dream of using any soil from the garden, especially a compost. too much of a risk for bringing bugs in and too good a way of fryin ur tender plants as well. just buy mg or john innes from b n q.

i dont know i know from like buying equipment off the net sometimes they can track what you bought and stuff, but thats only if they have a reason too. so i just thought it would kind of be the same on any website, at least with cash, they dnt know where it came from well apart from the person your handing the money to. that website looks good don i never really thought there were english sites around

i'll vouch for pick and mix seeds as well, just got my nevilles haze from them and ordered in the past, around a year ago :)

there billing even comes up on ur bill "very clever stuff" so could be a purchase from a gadget shop or something?

Unless are having tonnes of bulbs and ballasts delivered to your house and running huge amounts of electricity like 10k watts they would have no reason to trace your shit. It would cost them a lot of money to go into that depth of research that they save it for the big guns/ commerical growers.

I buy all my seeds from pick and mix as well, really fast postage, discrete and as las mentioned, it doesn't show up on your bill!

Love the difference between the NL and the orange. The NL is a real chubby looking indica, lol.



Look how ugly the leafy Strawberry haze is (right)

Yeah sounds like there might be some bug's in that compost eating the tap-root before it get's a chance to grow a root base = Plant. Ive just done a post on my thread about germing seed's funny enough. Im giving the root-riot cubes a go!
