While i do look at trich colour occasionally, i also sometimes see amber trichs unusually early, so i look at the plant as a whole, and if it doesn't look ready then to hell; with the trichs colour haha :p

I got a deal today, popped into co-op for tobacco booze and food, was paying for my stuff and talking to a nice chinese lad i've talked to a few times when picking up bits and bobs for work, and he scanned in his staff card and scored a load of money off :) Ended up like £7 for everything. To counter this luck i was kneeling on a shard of glass unknown to me, and when i pulled my feet from beneath me to roll a joint, i cared a nice gouge into the top of my foot, no pain or anything though, was justsat there pulling it open and looking at my flesh haha



Can't wait to get her into flowering :D

Not soon enough. Autopots won't stop leaking, i'm surprised it's not gone through the floor to the flat beneath yet. My friend can plain have thoe once i goto canada :D It's in veg till the flower cabinet is empty, at which point a quick clean out just in case there is pollen floating around, and then it's the final haul. It pretty uch needs to be dry by middle of febuary else i'm fucked :D

Sigh, just for you. Cheese and a Romulan, both can be harvested now but i'm giving em another week. The romulan has hardly put any bud out, i guess due to a heavy polination, but should be enough for christmas once seeds are removed from em both.

doing ok gaz. just pissin about taping gaps in my grow area up, its starting to smell a bit( 6 weeks into flower on saturday) and ive had a couple of comments about smell in my block of flats so i think ive fixed it, really should get a new carbon but a bit skint just now, im gonna take the can to bits and empty the carbon into a stocking , then i'll hoover it and that'll give me another month or two of life with it.
better bet would be to soak it in water an then bake it, repeat this a few times and it will to an extent re-activate it( I once did a few shifts for an agency at a place called Chemviron carbon and thats what i spent 3 days doing, mixing carbon with water and loading it into a gigantic rotating oven)

First pic is romulan from HC, second and third are the exo. Both have been pollinated by a black rose male to hopefully get some funk into that mix :) i'm super excited about the cheese x black rose seeds :) I do not sell seeds, i give them away to whoever has a postal address ;)

that's the bottom of the jar of weed i'm smoking through :D Black Sour Bubble/Casey Jones x Black Rose :)

There are somme generous folk on the forums, but yeah, the majority are of the greed variety. The irony of seeded cannabis plants is quite amusing, everyones all about the sensimilea, no seeds, seeds mean schwag means cheap. Yet if you're the right person and you pollinate your plant, you can go from selling the buds for say £1000 and instead sell the seeds for say £10,000. I got literally 4 small nugs from my black rose plant, and got 130 viable seeds, if i'd let go longer, even more. Now look at certian seedbanks where they are not simply re-sellers, those folk selling beans at £5 a pop, they are keeping every penny other than their quite insignificant postage and website costs. We all laugh at greenhosue seeds as a crap company, but fuck if he doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to marketing :D

Oh, it's definately something that is potentially being planned. The general rule of thumb is when it's too good to be true, it is too good, as such, if one is to happen across a site offering seemingly great stuff for 10 seeds for £10 etc, it's ignored as a scam, but the advantage is that i've built a reputation of sorts over my time here so have somewhere sound to start from. Then it's just a case of getting so popular that seedbanks are demanding your gear, at which point you want to be learning some contract law and enforce either a guaranteed price point or no contract at all. That is rather the kicker, the volume sales go through seedbanks, not the small breeder websites, but to do so, you generally have to accept that they will sell them for what they sell them. The key is to build such the reputation that seedbanks are fying to be able to stock thousands of your beans, but at the same time have the demand so high that they will agree to your contract, and not theirs. If i were to sell beans they would sell at a guaranteed price regardless of genetics, and if a seedbank wanted to charge more, then they simply wouldn't aquire a contract with me. High hopes haha, but my brain works like that, always ponders every step available instead of ust the inital step at hand :D

I would not consider selling anything unless i had thouroughly tested it all out. Every bean i've shipped to date has been a mystery to me, i've not grown a single one out. That's bad business paractice and that's where bad reputations stem from, dodgy gear leaking out.

i mite give that a shot mate but ive had two knowledgable people in today and i asked them, both said there was no smell at all, either in my house or out in the landing. one guys a grower with decades of drug experience and the other is a mid level dealer/supplier . if these two cant smell it then ive fixed the problem. i was startin to get jittery about it because its so close to harvest and this is my xmas cash for the kids and it'll clear all my debts off.
