I had some bad experience's on the cong, remember going out one night and remember coming back, thats it. Lost the key's for the car (£350) and lost the key for the bike (£500) for a new barrell. Never touched it since, don't even get me started on ket and acid in blackpool.

Morocco is still like that my friend. At least it was where I went. Chefchaouen (of course) you couldn't take 2 steps.

Hi MC,

We're planning a trip back to Morocco next year, we were just outside Tangier, and got to travel the Rif mountains where so much of the stuff is grown Let hope they're still peddling the goods

Subject of Canadian bud, I was looking up the Quebec Gold I mentioned and came across this write up of the 2001 Cannabis Cup in Montreal (link to cannabis Culture article). The QG was a winner. I also got to try the M-39 and the outdoor strain I mentioned was Mighty Mite..... ever heard of that one? I believe the MM had Ruderalis in the genetics somewhere, the auto-flowering trait used in the Lowryders etc. The guy who used to supply it was a real trusting guy and became a good friend, from day 1 he was happy to front us the box with payment sent afterwards!! Gradually it increased to 1 pound box per month, always fronted and we shared it out between a few mates, worked out £100.00 per OZ. Never had any probs with customs incoming but we lost a big payment going out and it kind of finished it all still, was good while it lasted and it convinced us of the quality of the Canadian gear Lasted a few years though so cant complain.

Good article Smoker. I was totally oblivious to Montreal having its own cannabis cup. I guess Toronto has one too. Seems though the police are shutting them down pretty often. Surprising, I would expect Vancouver to be the most prosperous in that department. Mind you, they do have 420 day and they get away with it every year.

My experience with strains in canada is pretty limited, mostly because I only just started smoking recently and I was never the one buying it. I always ask what strain i'm getting to the dealers in Manchester but they just stop short and give me a confused look on their faces like, "what's a strain?" or make some shit up off the top of their heads.

Well yeah Chefchaouen is where it is all grown. About a 45min crazy ass taxi ride through the Rif from Tangier. The article below does a good job in describing a visit to the tiny village, although the first quarter of the article is about the journey from Casablanca (I think). Where the author states that Morocco is no longer the dirty and culturally rich country it once was, but a clean, european country. I laughed at this part. I think the guy musta been smoking a little too much as he made that journey. Cuz I was there 3 months prior to him and it was exactly how he described it during his visit decades earlier, a donkey&cart economy. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that as a bad thing. It was an amazing trip, I loved every minute of it. Amazing how such a different world is only a 2 hour plane ride from London.

But yeah, read that article and you'll get an idea of how the hash culture is coping with stuff like police crackdowns, and increased tourism. Proper etiquette whilst there and stuff. I wish you a great trip and hopefully all goes well. I'm trying to arrange a trip back this summer myself.

EDIT: Ps. I'm glad to hear you have had some good times with the Canadian grass. Very nice supplier you found there! If you ever get a chance to go to the west coast, I assure you, you will not be let down!

first time i took ket i was told it was speed, it was a real paste kinda base lookin shit, so i held on to it in the pub till i'd a good few drinks down my neck and then, expecting it to revive me, went to the bog wrapped half of it up inna skin and popped it............i fuckin melted like a snowman in august......cant really say what happened next.......think sum1 poured me into a taxi n sent me home to lick windows.

I was driving around the other day and started feeling really horny. So I decided to swing by this well known dogging spot that was close by. There were a few other cars there so I pulled up and joined in.

I had a great time, but I think I failed my driving test.

 

[tip top toker]

here's me sitting around thinking about the situation in iran.

if i were PM, i'd make it a national policy to ignore the fuck out of them, not give them any "the west cooerced it" satisfatction, but at the same time let them know that if they even try tp do things outside of UN law etc, then we'll bomb the country to motherfucking dust, i reckon it would work wonders in comparisson to "stop it iran you're breaking sanctions, why won't you obey us!"

i think i'd make a great fucking prime minister, course i'd have to disolve parliament, but who the fuck wants those cunts inc harge anyway, appealing against expenses, they should be shot in the face with a fucking large calibur bullet for their cheek!

 

[dura72]

ahhh tip top a man after my own heart, i have to fully agree on ur foreign policy ideas, i'm quite happy to take over as home secretary in ur govt, my plans are to help our struggling building industry at the same time as deal with certain 'other' problems, so all unemployed builders will now construct relocation camps, sorry facilities, and were gaunny have to massively increase our railway rolling stock. i think our worrys about power consumption will cease as i see an almost, but thankfully not totally, inexhaustable supply of extremely cheap labour/fuel. i may need a few tweeks here and there but i recon after a few beers i'll have come up with a final solution to these problems. and then we go visitin the neighbours.

Electrical questions welcome

Hey Bloatedcraig...

Quick Elec Q for ya mate...

My grow room atm has 2 x 125cfl's running into a 2 plug extension socket (3 core wire) which inturn is plugged into a segment timer, i read somewhere that the segemnt timer could overheat with a no. of wattage and fuse together, i think it will prob handle the 250 im puttin in atm, but when i come to flower i will be using 1 x 400w hps and 2 x 125cfl, will i need anything specific for this or will the 2 socket extension into the segment (digital if i update) timer work? and be safe.

Thanks in advance

Peace

The autos are good mate, if you're not looking for big yields then they are good. I tried the Diesel Ryders year before last and was surprised just how good they turned out, I only got about 14g average off each but it was very nice bud.

Great thing is you can stick em outside in the sun on good days in summer and they don't stick out like sore thumbs
