"Cali" weed help
Hi all,
not being funny but what is different about "cali" weed, other than the price.
please don't say white Ash lol

Is French wine better than English? Is Scotch whisky better than Polish? The main factors that influence the final product are the “terroir” (yes, that’s a real word) of the plant. The soil, the water, the sunshine, the altitude, the cultivation. Ocean Grown (OG) seeds seem to do extraordinarily well and can contrast markedly with Euro hydroponics even when using the same seeds. Plus legalisation has bought in big competitive elements for strains to really stand out with their own USP.
Don’t forget that a big chunk of that ‘crazy’ high price now goes in tax to the government, plus licenses and store overheads.
The good thing is that on LB, you pays your money and you takes your choice. Even the most expensive cali bags seem to sell...good luck to them. Smoggyman’s Portland Oregan Mimosa (which ironically wasn’t expensive) blew my world!

Just vaped his Ice Cream Cake so you won’t get anything but agreement from me! ;) Oh man, and this is UK hydro, Cali seed, cared for to perfection. What are we to conclude??


Is French wine better than Chilean, or New Zealand wine?
No. Its worse if anything.
Countless taste tests have been done on English sparkling wine from our South coast vs Champagne, Cava and Prosecco. And they do very well in those tests.
Is French cheese better than English? Absolutely not, and we have many more varieties.
I don't want to be mean, but this is an old argument that holds no weight.
Spanish cannabis genetics are just as good (in my experience) as those from California, or anywhere else, and UK growers are smashing it out of the park right now with their attention to detail and their technique.
There's a Vice documentary about this somewhere. I'm too busy trimming to find it but it's out there.
Cheers BB

It’s one of the best marketing ploys of this decade that’s what it is.
What you are paying for is marketing and fancy packets. Granted the weed is usually a very high quality and the trim job is perfect but no weed is worth 100 an 1/8th on this planet.
Most of the “Cali” you see on here is well grown and well trimmed weed stuck in a fancy packet and you pay a premium for that.
Save your money mate

Actually it’s worth exactly what people are prepared to pay. Even the most expensive packs on here seem to have willing buyers. The risk is fakes- the bags are easily bought online and conversely a lot of genuine cali is shipped loose for stealth so it’s a minefield really...

Great input mate, i just thought If pheno was grown and cured well and loved and not rushed = Banging weed

As others have said it's all marketing, turns out even weed smokers are corporate sheep :(
There's also this misconception that because it's legal it's safer... you know, because America is famous for its high safety, environmental and agriculture standards lmfao... also Americans LOVE pesticide and it's not unusual for cali weed to be heavily contaminated with stuff that isn't even legal here in the UK but hey-ho it's "legal" so it must be "safer". It's just not true at all.
Not saying there aren't some amazing growers out in Cali btw, of course there is there are amazing growers all over the world!
Still it gives middle class kids the opportunity to think they got something "superior" just because they paid the price of gold so that's good for them I guess ;P

its just choice u can wear armani jeans or tesco will they both cover yout legs but many pay 150 for designer clothes when coukd hsve got tesco 12 quid jeans im not in for argunent or any malice but really its choice u dont have to buy but u also dont need to always have the cheapest iv bought cali snd its been shyte iv bought cali and it been mind blowing. Good cali .lasts twice at least as long so cost per joint isnt much diff from buying a 65 doller 8th. For me its a treat as BB points out just bevause from.cali dosent mean its automsically better but proper genuine cali is special

lol but then the religious folk would feel left out, I can only persecute so many people I'm just one man!
Jokes aside I was only pointing out something being legal in one country doesn't automatically make it safer - not trying to start an Atlantic war!

Seems some dividing opinions on this subject indeed!
thanks for your input, this is true the FDA let loads of stuff in food I believe that is banned in EU?
curious has anyone paid the prime bucks to "test".

Yup cali will definitely divide some opinions haha I should point out I'm obviously against it but my post is half tongue in cheek so please to any cali lovers out there don't take offence! :) People can smoke whatever they want but cali aint for me!
Definitely a big gap between European and American standards/regulations. On everything.
Definitely a big gap between European and American standards/regulations. On everything.

Cali weed is the upper echelon. If you thought smoking weed is nice then trust me cali is a different feeling. I hear a lot of people down play it but honestly if you've got the money then I don't see why not. Its more than just white ash its smooth tasty and more healthy. With packs or not cali weed will still be different than european weed.

This makes sense, I did think about the grape analogy. soil, direction facing, elevation, relative humidity.
But.. have we not come so far that bar a little variance you could replicate these ideal growing conditions.

Pretty much. The Japanese make highly acclaimed (and very expensive) whisky by analysing and replicating the exact mineral composition of Scottish highland water. But I’m not sure how many Scots would drink it!
Cali is fine weed but do the Dutch care?

I'm tempted to try a tiny bit back to back with what I consider prime bud.. for science lol
For me though a plant that is loved and cherished surely grows stronger, when doing loads how do you give that same love and attention?
Took me hours per week when i did it and that was just 2 babies

It’s a fair point. There are plenty of non-licensed street sellers in legalised States because buyers believe the mass grown product for government licensed shops is much poorer quality (and more expensive) than the small volume “craft” growers. It’s ironic when you think that legalisation was supposed to wipe out the street sellers but they thrive on quality & price!

i agree u have had shit cali no.better im fact worse than average uk bud but then had proper proper cali and was amazing. its not thst expensive as lasts longer as a littke bit goes a long way its simply a treat now again for me

Big budget R&D and genuine measured quality control.
There’s comparable bud in U.K. for sure, but like anything made at home compared to a commercial operation...
You know when you bought new weed and you’re wondering if it’s gonna be any good or not? You don’t have that issue in California, your buy comes with its test results.

Yeah its rubbish isn't it lol. Welcome to LB2021 where we have crayola class on thursdays :D

Lol yeah its different for us longtimers, keep looking in the wrong place for stats and stuff but im sure we'll get used to it..
Some bits in the item and orders section are better i think, and zooming on pics is less buggy. once I've got the hang of it I think it will be fine.

Have you made an order yet tho? The order screen is now way better IMO.
I also think its good that the powers that be are spending time, trying to make improvements

Made my first order with new look today, and you can now add to a basket on a seller's page, which makes pick and mix much easier. New look is hard visually though.

Yeah it’s literally made me stop scrolling the wall by like 80%. Healthier bank balance atleast.

Smoggys Ice cream cake
Literally planned to write a constructive review, just started at the screen for past 10 mins...
Buds are big and juicy, covered in crystals and very well cured.
Taste is very creamy with a touch of sweetness, goes down very smoothly indeed.
have to rate this 10.9/11 as I think I scored the disco biscuits an 11.

Smoggy Disco Biscuit
On opening super stealth package of delight, my nostrils danced in excitement.
it's soooo sweet!!
the buds are cured to Perfection and dense as foook!
After a grind, it smells stronger and fluffed up a Beast.
Taste is sweet and smooth and going well with morning powershake.
I'm shocked, I'm half way through and considering leaving half for later.
nope, fuck that you guys need a no shills 20* review :)
As I continue, I'm thinking about what to watch while I sit on my ass!
The hype is real, Smoggys to me is 11/10
thanks to the people who recommended this one next is the skywalker OG..
I'm not sure I'm posting these reviews in right section, how do I do if I'm doing wrong please?

Best grinder
does the pollen catcher and threads get blocked on these?
EVERY grinder I've had clogs up, maybe I smoke too much though?

Best grinder
What grinders are you guys using? I have tried 4 different ones including a head chef, and a few unknown brands, and they’re all terrible at grinding my bud, I want an actual good grinder for once, any help apreciated


I use the storz-bickel orange plastic grinder, can be found on eBay or amazon. Best I’ve ever used. Better than all those hefty metal ones and cheap plastic things.

I need to update this, brilliant cut grinder, the above, flowermill and Santa Cruz shredder are all fab

I’ve tried loads of regular and premium grinders over the years but the S&B orange one that came with my Mighty is by far the best.

Agreed. I bought my titanium spacecase in 2008 and it hasn't missed a beat. Expensive but as an investment I've made my money on it and then some. Grinds any weed to fluff, catches all the kief.

does the pollen catcher and threads get blocked on these?
EVERY grinder I've had clogs up, maybe I smoke too much though?

I don't know why, but i thought the thc gets absorbed by your fingers so I never like doing this 😂

Santa Cruz Shredder (Metal, medium, 3 piece) . You'll never buy another grinder again. It's still sharp and is smooth even after years of continuous use 😅


Futo walnut two piece. Every Alu/metal grinder I've ever had has contaminated the herb in some way (flaky coatings, metal fragments, paint rub-off, etc).
This feels safer and glides through most herb.
This feels safer and glides through most herb.

I’ve been using the Høj Klip for 2 weeks now & it blows every other grinder out of the water. I was a little reluctant spending so much on a grinder but it’s a real investment.

Wow, just checked this out. looks mad! I recently splashed out of the Herb Ripper (Stainless steel instead of aluminium). Thoroughly recommend the herb ripper, my go to grinder and is a beast. I didnt think id need another one until i saw the Høj Klip, now i have it lol

I took the plunge, so glad I did 😁
I was concerned with the blades clogging but they work great and so easy to clean, really wasn't a problem at all.
Collection section, brilliant size, plenty of space and a good kief catcher (gauze not to small that it clogs and becomes redundant)
Each section been magnetic no clogged threads!!! Not had an issue of coming apart but always make sure it's on a flat surface (I just use Cork base) to klip.
Also got a pipe, smooth 😎 not going back or looking back a very happy experience all round!

I'm sold lol. I'm gonna have to wait til after Christmas but this is definitely on my to buy list in January. I can't believe I'm getting yet another grinder 🙄. Thanks for the review druids 😁

thanks for this thread - just ordered BCG from Canada, have to wait a while for it though, waiting list!

A friend of mine is like you with the scissors lol. He got used it as used to chop up commercial Thai weed back in the day and the habit stuck

Not gonna lie personally I really like the cheap plastic grinders you get from like a local shop or ebay. Grinds quite good and if you ever feel like it needs cleaning you can just throw it out and buy a new one for cheap


I own these three. The orange headchef one is useless. Lovely design and ceramic coating but the mesh isn't fine enough and it collects way too much plant matter. The green headchef one is a kief collecting beast and I use this most of the time however the small, cheap, plastic, black raw one grinds the best I think and I reach for that if I'm in a rush.

I’ve got a head chef, i can’t remember which model but it’s fairly decent, although I generally smoke hash so it does get too much use.

I've been using the StoneAge grinder set from Amazon and it's great. £18.99 and still works like new (except the matte finish has mostly rubbed off) is good capacity (2g I reckon although I'm too poor to fill my grinder up and will smoke it all if it's in there lol). Comes with smell proof 20 bags, stickers and a brush. Highly recommend.

I use this stoneage one I got off Amazon, grinds up beautifully but I can’t comment on the longevity because I haven’t had it long enough. I will say it generally feels high quality except for the matte finish which can bubble but that doesn’t affect its effectiveness.

brilliant cut grinder - best, hard to get expensive
pucc- second best, cheaper, usually not sold out as bcg
pucc- second best, cheaper, usually not sold out as bcg


Ive got a mini head chef grinder which is awesome but just a tad too small. Ive had a couple of really good cheapo acrylics but by far the best grinder I use at the moment is a brand called Justin Hale.
Nice big teeth, perfect pollen catcher and comes with a little scraper thing to make sure you dont miss any of that valuable pollen! It also grinds anything and everything really quickly and perfectly fluffs up even the stickiest weed.
Little bit pricey but well worth it. Mine is the one without a storage door.

Space case . Expensive but personally I think they are one of the best metal grinders you can get if you have enough to splash out

And believe it or not they are worth the money . As long as you don't loose it it will last for decades and still be as sharp as day one crazy haha

Update- must be a year or more since I got the BCG and I have not had a single jam, nor have I had to de-clog it even once to date. Haven’t even looked at my Santa Cruz since, it’s basically redundant.

I use this one its the Zeus Bolt XL Grinder it’s made of Aircraft Grade Anodized Aluminium so it does not get clogged very easily and it comes with a lifetime warranty 😊 it’s got multiple pieces too so you can use it with or without kief catcher compartment in the middle depending on your preference and grinds up very well 🤩 I’m using it without the kief catcher for now too get all of it into the paper/ bowl/ Vape 😊

Why is some weed harsh on your throat when vaping?

NOT SURE WHAT CAUSES IT COS I FIND THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES HOWEVER PUTTING WARM WATER IN MY BONG MITIGATES IT. IN FACT I JUST USE WARM WATER IN MY BONG ALL THE TIME NOW, MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE I CAN TAKE ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE RIPS AND GET BLASTED QUICK

As others have said, possibly the herb or vape unit.
I NEVER had harshness on any of the storz and bickel with any weed, even low grade

Ive tried many dry herb capes ranging from portable to plug in from 50-300 odd quid.
i found cheaper ones didn't do the herb justice, read up on volcano. pricey but will last forever and get more vapor feom your herb amounts :)

Sometimes it can just be the wattage, I find if I dilute it more I get more flavours and a hit due to being able to withstand more vapour, check out our tinctures theyre sweet

I’ve got the volcano digital. Fill the charger and start with a low temp and turn it up 5 degrees each bag.
Last ages and I get the full flavour
Awesome machine

What vape are you using?
I find it to be more coughy when smoking pure or vapes compared to a J with baccy. Depending on your vape id suggest getting a waterpipe adapter and running it through a bong for smoother hits

Thanks. It’s just a cheap vape BLK Nova. But it’s fine for most weed, surprisingly good really. But I have this 8th of Alien Dawg I bought on here just before Christmas that I still have. I barely smoke it because it’s always really harsh on my throat.

Hi hoqwer yes sounds like the weed making you feel like that!!not been flushed properly.. Cured... Or something else!!?. Sorry its happened. Did you not get on to the vendor who you bought it off?. Explaining ive got weed here thats a load of shite!!! just before xmas as well..what a shitter..this lockdown hard enough..

Thanks. No I didn’t bother the vendor. Thought it was just me being fussy. The other reviews are all fine. I mean it still gets me stoned. Just harsh taste and crap in the morning. Bought through them a few times and they’ve been great. Bought some Pink Kush through them on the same order and was lovely. But this Alien Dawg is just not right. Bit late now saying something in Feb. Wonder if it will be ok making edibles out of it?

Hi hoqwer yes you could do i suppose..!!! Or use a good vaporizer . how have you got the weed stored??.as its quite few weeks since xmas!! Either way you'll get some use out of it:-))...!!

Thanks Jayboy, I have it stored in a resealable black Mylar bag with all the air squeezed out, same as all my other weed. But it’s been harsh since day it arrived, which is why I never smoked it. My vape, although cheap, is fine. It’s fine with all the other weed I have. I like it a lot. It’s just this little batch. Maybe it’s just not to my taste.

I can't speak for that vape as never heard of it but if you've used it successfully with different bud it may well be that particular weed. Have you tried smoking it in a joint and seeing how it smokes/burns?
I've been pretty lucky with my buys but had questionable product arrive a few times - lack of visible trichromes, smelling like hay, no taste, joints burning black and not even feeling stoned off a joint

What is the best Science Fiction Anime Series?
Was about to say this, superb Anime!!
Also, an oldie but a classic is "The guyver" bio booster armour!!!
+ 2 more
Cowboy Bebop is amazing, beautifully written, drawn, and directed. Don't be turned off by the 1st episode which isn't very sci fi and more like film noir cliche stuff. The future world unfolds over the episodes along with the back story of how it evolved though another great thing is each episode stands independently.

There is supposed to be a live action movie coming out at some point in the future. I thought there would be a third season but l guess l am wrong.

Steins gate is class. Time travel sci fi. Bit of a slow burner but get past the first two episodes it’s quality on Netflix as well.

Steins;Gate is brilliant. Some unique characterisations and a great, but inevitably confusing, take on the time travel concept with a ton of real world references and conspiracies. Solid choice. However, I highly recommend this viewing order: Steins;Gate episodes 01-22 then episode 23β (alternate version of 23), Steins;Gate 0 episodes 01-23 (you can watch somewhere online or on Crunchyroll) then original Steins;Gate series episodes 23-24. Sounds confusing lol but honestly this is the best way to experience the story.

Don’t know if this is a mad suggestion or if literally everybody has seen it. But the Animatrix ?
9 (I think) half an hour animated films set within The Matrix universe. All are interesting and well animated, but a few are stellar.
There’s one created by Shinichiro Watanabe, of cowboy beebop and samurai champloo (my personal favourite).
If you haven’t seen it, buy the dvd and watch it; if you have seen it, back me up!
Peace

Terraformars (テラフォーマー, Terafōmā) are evolved humanoid cockroaches who live on Mars. They possess physical traits and skills that greatly surpass those of normal humans. They also appear to be somewhat intelligent and have a natural hatred for humans; much like how humans hate cockroaches.

Finished kaiba the other night from this recommendation. Thought it was class, trippy as fuck.

I love the premise here with the mind-body interchange but its really hard for me to get past the drawing. It seems more like something out of Spain in the 1930s than Anime.

Was about to say this, superb Anime!!
Also, an oldie but a classic is "The guyver" bio booster armour!!!

not sure it qualifies as science fiction - but! try to watch it when high when high.
DOROHEDORO
i'd love to hear from you when you do.

Dorohedoro is fucking class. Watched the first season twice (high) then read the entire manga.

Deathnote was good, so was One Punch Man. Terror in Residence was really good too. And I quite liked Knights of Sidonia. Or just watch Akira and Ghost in the Shell and be done with it :)

Space dandy. Some really good episodes to watch stoned especially the first few.
Love death robots good shout.
Saiki k. Didn't watch stoned but really enjoyed it, might give it another look myself.
Non SciFi recommendation would be Kakegurui, if you haven't watched it watch it stoned it's really good. It's about gambling and girls that leak a lot of fluid.
Also 'close enough' is quite good to watch stoned from the makers of the regular show but for adults.
All should be on Netflix.

Thanks for the tip. It should be cool just based on the fact that he did Samurai Jack. And Ive found out a movie version was made and even submitted to oscars (fck oscars tho!).. Nice!!

serial experiment lain!!!, a bit old but still ahead of most anime... and I mean, Evangelion, if you have not seen it!

Cowboy Bebop. No qualifying statement required. It's a timeless classic. I wish I could see it for the first time again

Sci fi anime faves:
Noein (short series based on quantum physics theory),
Gintama (comedy anime partly set in space),
Ergo proxy (short dystopian series in futuristic world),
Inuyashiki (Old man becomes a weaponized cyborg and you follow his story),
Parasyte (High school kid gets infected by an alien parasyte),
And last but not least!
Psycho pass, it has 3 seasons and about 5 movies on the same world. A world which is monitored by an expert crime a.i. program, people get a hue which shows how likely to commit crime you will be, it's hard to explain but definitely my favourite sci fi series for a while.

Castlevania on Netflix is awesome! Not really sci-fi but the art style is great and a nice spin on an old tale. I binge watched 3 seasons in like 3days lol

Dry herb Vaporizer
Hello biggas and good month to everyone.
Let's get to the subject then , I read first time here about dry vaporizer as all my friends are old school had no idea about this.
People say its better for you ? I'm looking into it now but I want to start from a low price see if I like it first.
What's everyone's opinion on this . Is it really doing the job; and gives you a "fully bodied " high without something missing from it ?
Any help would be appreciated

Vapour equals, saving money, better flavour, better health , increased efficiency. Smoking equals wasted bud, no flavour, bad health and cost more over the years. Buy cheap buy twice . Get a mighty;)

I have a mighty by Storz and Bickel, easily one of the best on the market, I quit smoking 7 years ago, never looked back. I would advise that you should bite the bullet and buy a good vaporizer, they are expensive but worth every penny. The cheaper ones are OK but you will not get the most out of your product. Just think of all the saved money on cigs n rizlas etc when you do buy. Not to mention health benefits which was my main reason. Good luck.

I second the Storz & Bickel, Ive got the crafty, It also links to ur mobile and notifies u when its ready to blaze! Good german quality build too..atb.

Just to add re the high, I find it gives me a cleaner head high, less mongyness, but that may be to do with the temp settings, tbh i mainly smoke joints for that reason.

Yeah I’m the same, got a Mighty and a Flowerpot... Both best of the best, the Mighty will never get me more than a 6/10 the flowerpot can get me to a 10/10 but you’ll never replace the Combusted feeling with a Vape, it’s a doffernt high, not necessarily worse but when I really want to chill out I still smoke a Spliff sadly...

Seems like a good few Mighty users on here, anyone used anything else that gets close to the performance in a perhaps nicer, smaller package? The cleaning of the Mighty is a pain in the arse and it’s getting less use due to it.


I have just recently been converted. Thanks to advice from other LB'ers. I purchased a more high end dry herb vaporizer. You got to spend more to get good quality vape. I bought the Arizer Solo 2.
- easy to clean
- good battery life
- quality vape flavour
After a few days I have worked out my perfect temp and can get well stoned on 4-6 sessions on this vape, using a fraction of the product I used to use on a couple of J's a night, also no more money on baccy!
Also got a bong adapter for it and a new bong. One tip, stick with it, find your perfect temp. Expect some coughing as well as you adjust to coming off the baccy...happy vaping! Ping me if you want to know the best place to buy...

That looks a bomb m8 lol , good vaping.
I recently bought a flower mate aura for s start i want to try things first before I go up to more advanced and more expensive vaporizers.
I recently bought a flower mate aura for s start i want to try things first before I go up to more advanced and more expensive vaporizers.

Given up on vaping, made me cough too much, was too expensive on the vapes I’ve tried, wasn’t getting as high as I should…..only thing I liked was the flavour you get otherwise not for me, hope something better gets invented in the near future….back to a couple of joints a day….ah well

If it made you cough then you made the right choice bud . But thats strange to get a cough from vaping, im surprised I always hear the opposite that smoking makes you cough . Personally when I smoke for a long time without a break I start getting coughs but I still smoke occasionally now , I don't think I'll change that . But anyway, I agree 100% with what you stated.

hope it works out for you. only other advice is that the cheaper the vape the less of a nice time you are likely to have. I also bought a cheaper vaporizer for £60 a while ago, the nebula fuzion, even on lower temp settings I cough like mad, just bad quality vapour and i have to pull alot harder on it too. I really noticed the difference with the extra money spent on the Arizer Solo 2.
Another tip, if you got paypal, they do a 3 month interest free payment option....so spread that cost for that pricey bit of kit that may just save you alot more money in the long run...

I used https://magicvaporizers.co.uk/. They were brilliant. I placed the order and it came 3 days early. Tracking and comms were excellent. Whatever vape you get you should also get a pipe/ water bong adapter..
I avoided https://herbalizestore.co.uk/ even though they had a good offer on the crafty +, trustpilot reviews were not good. Actually magicvaporizers.co.uk/ had same offer but were sold out. I only avoided the crafty plus in the end because of battery/ charger issues I had been reading about.

Hm , very helpful thank you m8, reason I got the aura 1st its decent price to start 2nd it comes with different chambers for concentrates and e liquids. It has also good reviews

fair enough. Arizer solo 2 is really only for dry herb I believe. I think Mighty and Crafty offer accessories for vaping product in different ways. But dont quote me on that as I am not familiar smoking weed via concentrates or e liquids.
I suppose I am not sure I answered your question about the high. As I am getting more accustomed to this way of getting high I honestly think I get a much stronger high, but it kind of creeps up on you and it is a bit cleaner. Right now I am enjoying the excellent G13 Haze from TGT using this vape, whereas with a spliff or 2 I would feel it immediately and then it would linger for a while and then wear off after a few hours. With Vape it creeps up after about 20 minutes and then the high feels stronger and does feel like it lasts longer. I took a single session midday today, its now coming up to 7pm and i can feel it is wearing off now, so a nice mellow day time high for 7 hours off 1 session. For an evening session I have a couple of bongs with the Arizer and then a couple of pipe sessions with it as well. Then I am fully baked, and it is a stong high but I am not sure it would ever be strong enough to whitey on..then again I dont do more than 4 - 5 sessions in the evening, maybe if more I could achieve that lol...
I honestly think I gave up on vaping the first time around becuase I didnt know what I was doing, only had 1 vape session and becuase i didnt get same immediate hit gave up on it feeling i would be wasting gear...i should have persevered, then but as already mentioned my first vaporizer was not good so even more reason i gave up at the time
Also you will have left over AVB from vaping which you can then cook with and still get high off it...bonus...just got to find a simple recipe of some kind

I haven't used mine yet cause its a birthday present but I will soon. My biggest concern its what you said about the high , I hope it works well and use the bud correctly and not waste any, as for the potency other people say its not as potent as a splif but I will find out myself.

yep i understand why. its gonna be different for different people i guess. I would say yes the spliff is more immediate and a dirtier high that for me doesnt last as long. Its a stronger head high for me on the vape, but you need a few sessions to get there and the high is different, hard to explain..

Best bang for buck is the dynavap in my opinion.. especially if you're old school and want a joint style experience. After that maybe the storm spirit.

Check out vape elevate if your uk based. I have a herbstick and dynavap both are amazing!!

Where to find UK outdoor grow site??
As the title suggests, I'm looking for tips on finding a suitable outdoor grow area.. Are there any experienced Guerilla growers in this beautiful community? If so, please share your wisdom!

I have been a GG, for quite a few seasons now and the following always hold true:
Security- anywhere with dog walkers, generally is a no no. If you see rubbish and litter around, it's not a good sign. Rivers and fishermen are an issue, as alot of them have a taste for the green too. I use trial cam, drones to help me find a good spot, with security. Another trick is to leave something at the site and see if it's moved, stolen. Winter is normally a good time for exploring.
Sun- unless your getting 6 hours plus of direct light, it is a waste of time, also consider lower sun in September Vs other times of the Year.
Water- having a good source is good, but you can build good soil to help with retention levels. Don't let this be a deal breaker, your going to have to get off you ass and carry it in, or dig a pond if needs be.
Soil- this again is not a deal breaker and you can work the soil to achieve correct pH levels and nettles are an example of good soil. Bracken and brambles are other ok site locations.
Loose lips sink ships, most important rule of being a successful GG. Lots of resource online, hopefully my input helped you in some way.

I think most fisherman use it as an excuse to get away from the better half... I mean connect with nature.

As a stoned angler I can attest to that. Our club recently got really chippy about someone (no idea who... ) smoking 'illicit substances' at the water. Messaged all members threatening expulsion for drinking or smoking on site. Didn't mention vapes though so thats a loophole as far as im, I mean the offender, is concerned

Lots of mates growing up went night fishing, but not much fish caught, if you catch my drift.
I would not grow on a river bank, knowing anglers are in the area, I think you know the outcome.

A lot of people try it without staking a area correctly then are surprised when it’s pinched lol!

Some f#@kers are professional rippers, come out harvest time, looking for grows. They can put in just as much effect finding your garden as you, but without the growing. Normally people local to the area, I myself have found evidence of previous grows on my travels. Best sites are normally, ones grown at for Years, so once you got one, your sweet.

Watering is key in our opinion! Make sure you can walk in and out unseen and don’t change from ‘carried in water’ to Brook, river, canal .... also need AT LEAST 8 hrs direct sunlight !

Google maps sat view, hours of foot slogging and gps point recording, looking like a hiker, bird-watcher etc helps.
Getting harder each year as more "wild land" gets built on & more people do it! A lot of sites are compromised or the crop is stolen ...
I haven't done it for many years and it was hard enough then, if you are in the wilder areas of say Scotland & Wales it may be a little easier to find sites.

I've visited a few places and I'd agree, it's difficult to find a good spot away from the crowds and close to water. I considered finding a bramble jungle and hacking my way inside and clearing out a patch.

Just a quick one on leaving a trial to site, use one way in and another out. Nettles die down before best potency, bracken can be propped up with bamboo or fishing line, use low tensile strength, you don't want a rotting deer carcass near your site.
Also consider camo and face covering, surplus army supplies are the best gear, but real tree designs ect work ok. Also consider what time of day, when going to site, with local foot traffic.
Best of luck and pm, with any question, if needed.

Just got back from the first scouting mission, I visited two sites on the map. One was by a river bed, turned out to be a mega steep bank which I almost fell down and there was a sewage pipe close by (which stank) certainly not fit to grow near. The second was a wooded area next to a farm which was heavily fenced and didn't feel safe at all. I noticed some white plastic buckets so defo a no go. On the positive side, I saw a frikking Deer man! First time ever, it was a cool experience (gotta love nature). I'm up early tomorrow to go visit an area I've marked on the map close to a stream (hopefully freshwater) and no visible paths or farmland from satellite images. It's going to be a bit of a trek but it's next to a water source and hopefully a safer area. Will keep you all posted and thanks for all the guidance, I really apprecaite it.

Deers like green, especially the big colas (be warned) scent the site everytime you go. They normally stay away from, humans, so a good sign. I saw my first grass snake of the spring the other day, just chilling in the sun.
Glad your motivated, to get yourself your own private garden, good stuff, what do you plan on growing, strainwise?

6 areas I visited this weekend seem unsuitable, security and sunlight issues being the problem. Forest areas are providing the privacy but not enough light and more open areas are visible from footpaths. I've got a couple of sites to visit this weekend which are more remote, fingers crossed I find somewhere as all 22 of my beans germinated (nicccce).
Strains are:
Strawberry Cheesecake.
Lemon.
Alien Rock Candy.
Magnum.
White Widow.
Blueberry.

I love White Widow, nice selection btw.
Crack open Google maps, and try and find a unpopulated area, within say 10 miles of your area, if you drive.
Generally speaking, if you have large elevation or no point of interest in the area, people are less likely to wander. Stay away from residential areas, this should limit down you choices.
Once you have a few spots which tick the boxes, hit sat view tab and look for South facing areas on the edge of woodlands, think bracken, brambles, or even fallen trees and clearings.
Your auto selection, will not reach more than 1.4m and you may have to get creative, around the site to further improve security. Pulling bushes across animal tracks, moving fallen branches ect. What ever it takes.
I spent 2 Years scouting for my spots and you only need to hit the target once. Don't give up, you still have some time until the last frost, good luck and stay safe.

Just back from another scouting mission and I think I may have found a potential site. I wandered into the centre of a pine tree forest, these pines are quite young and havent grown to the point where they are blocking out too much light. The forest is surrounded by a public footpat but I found it quite difficult to push my way through, I hope will put off potential explorers. Occasionally the forest opened up to a clearing with lots of fallen dead pine trees that could be used as camo, no signs of activity and there are multiple points of entry and exit. My main concern here is water, wildlife and grow pots.
My plan was to bury them in the soil, but the ground is so uneven and full of dead wood I think my best bet would be to carry fabric pots in and fill them at the site and blend into the surroundings as best I can.
Water would have to be carried in, which I think will be acheivable.
And the wildlife, I'm thinking I could wrap the base of the fabric pot with chicken wire and hope it will provide a secure enough protection.
This opens up another concern as it would be clearly a pkint of interest for any passers by.
I quite like the idea of using a drone to scout potential sites and I have a few budgets ones in my amazon list.
After a few days of searching without any luck, today made things a bit more interesting...
My girls are still on the window sill and have shed their shells after only 1 day... nice.

Use around 50cm of chicken wire, roll into a cylinder shape and use bamboo to thread through to secure, abit like sewing. Leave 10cm to go into the ground.
Did you dig into the soil to see the make up?
Do you have a pH meter cheap one on Amazon around £10. Pine is acidic, so depending on soil type, may need potash to raise PH level, slightly.
Bear in mind auto's generally hate having roots messed with and I suggest using nursery bags, which lets them grow through, into existing soil. Fabric pots will need watering more often and defeats the point of natural growing. Build the soil, so you can obtain water retention from rain. Also, your half way there for next Year. Dead wood and leaves are the building blocks of life, how do you think the pines, grow so large? Also will act as mulch, further reducing watering. Look up Hugel culture.
If you get ripped, make them dig or cut, not just walk it half a mile away and harvest later, lol.
If newly planted pines, could be a managed sawmill nearby, especially if planted in rows.
Try the area, at different times of the week, to get an idea of public use. Are you at least 50m, from any path for smell, once flowering?
Glad you pushed through, good things come to those that want it.
Happy 420.

My shovel came today, going back to the site tomorrow evening to do a lil digging.
Friday nights used to be all about going out and getting boggled, now I'm out in the forest doing bits.

Planted some White Widow and Northern Lights today, at one of my sites, good day to be out in the sun.

Lovely, how many weeks till they mature? I read online that Northern Lights are perfect for the UK climate, what do you expect each plant to yield?

My ladies will be ready mid September onwards, probably mid October for WW, depending on the weather. NL is a monster strain, biggest I have had was 3m. Over 90g dried weight easy per plant for NL.
Critical going out this week, happy days.

Wow.... that's some plant. I had to get an oscillating fan yesterday as I noticed my ladies were getting tall and I heard a fan will strengthen the root? So glad I caught this in time ... god bless the internet.
Can't wait to hear how your ladies turn out!
Can't wait to hear how your ladies turn out!

Leggy sprouts are normally lack of light, but a fan does promote stronger stems, but also could just harden them off outside. Build up, starting a few hours a day.

A couple of the seedlings are resting on the side of the nursery bag, the weight of the leaves is pulling them down. I've got a 4 lamp T5 unit from the local hydro shop, and an oscillating fan, hopefully this should help get my girls in good shape before they get planted outside.... oh and I found a site! :D

Glad you got a site, in terms of the light, it will not harden them of to direct sunlight. Think of a sunbed, Vs a real tan, exposure to the sun thickens the leaves and will reduce transplant shock come, putting out.

if they're stretching too the light, drop it down if it won't torch them.
if indoors highly recommend nets and training them.
i got mad bud and lots of it like this

I didn't take any tools with me but the ground was strange in some areas it was really soft and wet and other areas it felt hard like wood, possibly tree roots. I prefer the idea of planting in the ground as they more easily blend into the surroundings.
I found another area in the centre of some felled trees, they were covered in moss and the branches intact. I had to climb through them and found a 5x5m area which seemed like decent ground to plant, I pinned this on my map.
Certainly more than 50m from any paths,I checked for any obvious sign of tracks and saw none. Although, I did notice I left a noticable track going in but maybe this is a good sign that it's never visited?
I checked out Hugelkulture and can confirm this place is riddled with dead wood and leaves. The logs I did step on (tried not to make any obvious signs I'd been there) just crumbled without any effort.
I'll do as you suggested and visit at other times of the day and next time I'll take a small shovel to dig into the ground.
The pines are indeed planted in rows and I saw an area with rows and rows of felled trees but the ones I explored were too young to be cut down, I'm sure.
Ph pen added to the shopping list, thanks for your help Chronus.

The pines are indeed planted in rows and I saw an area with rows and rows of felled trees but the ones I explored were too young to be cut down, I'm sure.
Ph pen added to the shopping list, thanks for your help Chronus.

No problem mate, knowledge learned should be there to be shared. We all start somewhere.
When walking through plants ect, to site, get a stick, to move stems out the way. Cover your tracks and don't leave a trial.
I found anti-tracking military resources very useful, double back ect. Think escape and evade, make sure you have an escape route, which is awkward to follow and gives you some distance. Also if possible, work on your physical fitness, your going to need it.
Do not park your car, same place, same time, ever week, mix it up. Also use props when scouting, compass, bird book ect, blend in. Camo should be suited to environment.
Don't light up at site, and try to keep visits to bare minium, nature will take care of the rest.
A survival shovel, or short handled one, with pick and knife are useful (folding karambit, preferred).
Forgot to say, don't take your phone, with GPS on- to site, maybe just me, but better safe than sorry. Always best to get a feel for who is about, prior to going to your site, walk the parameter, if unsure.

Yes that's the way... nettle patches are good too & indicate decent soil. Plenty of info on guerilla grow methods online 8)

That is pretty much how we did it. In the brambles every time. Nobody in their right mind would crawl through fox tunnels and nettles.... except us that is.

There;s nothing like the anxiety of driving home with a boot full of bin bags of fresh weed. "Patching" became quite an art for us during the 90's. Living in the far South West we never had too much of a problem in finding an overgrown paddock or bit of wild land away from prying eyes. I haven't bothered for years as it can take a lot of effort and not always pay off - I know many people just grow a couple openly in their gardens or a greenhouse now - nobody seems that fussed about getting caught these days.
Our routine went like this:
*Find a patch in the winter - lot of light exposure whilst being very private and difficult to access, crawl in through fox tunnels etc and cause minimum disturbance.It's a bonus of there is a stream nearby.
* Prep the soil or smuggle in growbags (this can work great) and put up a rabbit fence.
* Start your plants at home in window or greehouse then outside in soil pots - don't put them in your patch until they are at least 8inches high and showing some vigorous growth.
* Visit weekly or more if needed
* Only ever visit at night - always have an alibi ready
* If successful crop on site
* Try not to get too upset when all that hard work only got you some spindly, mouldy buds that taste like lawn cuttings.
Early Pearl, Early Girl, Durban Poison all worked OK - many others didn't flower in time or finish flowering before the damp comes and ruins all your all work, many didn't survive storms, dry spells or deer and rabbits, but mine never got found. It's a lot of hard work and stress if I'm honest and more a labor of love than profitable. You need to be growing dozens and dozens of plants across multiple patches to make money and that is a lot of hard work and bramble scratches. Good luck and happy smoking.

I have done numerous outdoor for personal use. The best places to do is on the edge of the motorways but not too close if you live anywhere nearby. And I wouldn’t put loads in one area that’s how they get found or stolen best to scatter them in different areas. Also you need to prepare the soil and think if slag repellents and also deers love to eat them too

We had a little project going last year born out of curiosity.
I have put a link to the thread below mate. Very addictive once you get started lol :)
