1: druids magic 🧙‍♂️
2: British bulldog
3: budbotanists
4: oilman
5: smoggy

Top five of the year so far for me

Sorry for anyone I use but not on the list 😮 I love you all 💗☁️🐰

Bulldog & Botanist would defo be VIP guests on the red (green!) carpet when we host the Awards! 🥰🏆🥂👏

lol @greencarpet awards

good shout on budbotanist, only had once but was proper loved bud

Fuck, yeah of course, Budbotanists!! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Shit....so many!!

I agree with everything but bud botanist as I never tried him but I will be sure to when he next lists something

not about much it seems and I only tried one of his grows, but it was massive and delish.

tasty organic and could tell the love and care in it, well worth a try imo if he "crops" up again 😂

Deadrabb1t was saying the same so will definitely be on my to try list

Never purchased off him but can say BudB is a proper gentleman. I've had loads of chats with him about growing, lighting etc etc. A genuine artisan grower who really knows his stuff and loves his plants.

I think he's back after Christmas from memory.

Cheers. BB

Not long to wait then. And sounds just like the vendors I like using.

What strain will be next from yourself?

Got some Gorilla Zkittles curing at the moment, ready in a couple of months, looks to be a nice smoke. Can't comment yet as she's not ready to even test a bit, only been in the jars a few days and it's always harsh if you test it too early. It's stinky though!

After that i've got some 'Sannies Jack' which is about 4 weeks into the grow. It's Jack Herer i imported from a Dutch seed bank called Sannies which apparently has the best example of Jack you can currently buy. The old genetics are pretty much lost now (a bit like cheese) but Sannies is apparently (according to some) as close as it gets to the old award winning stuff.

Very short, stocky, dark plants with wide leaves in veg which makes me think they'll lean more towards the indica side but it's too early to tell. Happy enough with them so far!

I'll be sure to give you a nudge when anything goes up in case you're interested, hopefully i'll get back to my lightning postage by then! RM willing! Haha.

Cheers. BB

Jack herer is my favourite strain bar none please save me an oz of the bud. 100%

I will be all over the gorilla zkittles as well to be fair.

I would appreciate the nudge before you list so I don’t miss out.

Sounds like next year is going to be awesome between yourself druids and bud botanist.

No problem buddy.

You know i've never tried JH myself, even after going to the Dam a few times. No idea why but i just never saw it. Really odd considering how popular it is.

Yeah my mate is the same he absolutely loves it. basically begged me to grow them... Hopefully i can do the strain justice!

Cheers. BB

Based off the Mac I’m vaping at the minute I’m sure you will.

It has a peppery haze kinda taste to it but in a very unique way but the high is superb. I personally prefer the indica leaning variety so really excited. I haven’t had jack herer in years now. So thank your buddy for me

don't forget smoggy and the others mentioned on the list. 😂😂

Seriously I won't promote shit weed, as prefer only one of us takes a hit if a crops lame. 🤜

Yeah so far everything I’ve had from smoggy has been top and is another vendor who I will always purchase from as soon as they list.

100% nudge me if me or the hounds ain't smelt it out mate.

anything cheesey I'm all over 😂

and yeah, smoking pre cure is nasty lol I used to do it in desperation When I grew and while I smelt awesome the taste 🤮

Little doubt from me on my 2021 Green Awards Ceremony:

1. Druids Magic
2. Smoggyman
3. Oilman
4. Bonneville

💥❤️🔥👍🦊

You lot are gonna make it a bloody expensive Xmas smoke if all these have before 😂😂😂

Some new names to me, so I'll check them out.

this being said I've already ordered another half from Smoggy to keep me going 🍻

Expensive?!…🙀…if I had kids this would be the point that I would be explaining to them that I have smoked their College Fund 😂😳

Already had that conversation 🙂

Got an order from Smoggy due to drop today. Not ordered of Smoggy before but read good things.

Druids have blown me away with their grows as did Oilman. Watching those two.

BudBoyzUK have good products in, both flower and hash. The Riff has is nice and squidgy hash.

I've also got some more on watch that I've never ordered from, but heard good things...Fallen, Bonneville and UKCannaFarm. I'm hoping Bubblehashking will have something but not sure.

You’re gonna love that Smog Smoothie! 🔥❤️

It's a beauty! Arrived this morning.

My bets on smoggy or BB

if you like druids you'll love smoggys mate 👌

It's fire! Landed this morning. Oh my dayz 🤤

lol its legit tasty and strong 💪

Bulldog got MAC incoming…
BudBoyzUk new strains listed…

It would be good to see BV team back also.

Fallen got more Mephisto fire coming in the New Year.

Cheers Mo,

Not tried Bulldog or budboyz yet.

Fallens I had once and was certainly a treat 😜

Waiting on BBs MAC- to help me survive the festive season.

Check out or Cookie Dough Sundae, it's received very good feedback and were sure you will be impressed. We are also running an Xmas Promo Price offer atm 😁

I heard there was a chistmas topic that didn't mention LUDs! - https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4777273 - LUD has put up a great new menu and if any bigga has never used LUD you need to make it your christmas treat, the best sevice, the quickest delivery and the stinkiest bud - you can not go wrong biggas luds will sort you right out :)

ohhh this is a name I see and hear a lot but don't think I've sampled 🤔🤔

You will enjoy mate I hope so anyway, LUD always has the smelliest bud for me and I love that stank haha :D

Budboyz and British Bulldog (BB’s was only the popcorn! And some kush variety of Budboyz ) have sent the best green this year, Hootan’s OG Kush hash has been unputdownable and Gilly1985 for tasty tasty clean rso.

Fancy something special for Christmas so watching this thread for updates.

Thanks for your input Pieboy 🤜

I wish it was an official thing that we could vote on in a few categories each year.

best service
beat Green
best hash
edibles etc.

then the vendor should get a little badge 👌

DIUK overall top vendor.
BBUK best stealth
Pistach gets a mention too for service.

DIUK are for sure a stable work horse.

also, give good smoke at low price at times. delivery a bit slower recently for me though

I got 4 orders in today (poor postie), all sent fri, two from diuk.
other vendors tho i've seen go from 1 day first class to three days.
I think £15 tip for Postman is very reasonable and non-sus eh?
Vendor badges sound great!

RM are slammed or on the take, second order from Druids thats super late or doa 😭😭😭

hopefully my luds combo box drops as I tried based on recommendations

Bulldog was a great call mate!!

Well impressed with speed, stealth and the taste / high vs £ ratio 👌

That's really kind of you to say buddy, I'm so glad you enjoyed it, makes all the hard work worthwhile to get great feedback like this!

Just finishing up some Wedding Cake. Really struggling with fighting these temperatures, even with the new LEDs but they seem to be just about ready to flush, just don't want to pull them too soon. Got two big dehumidifiers running to try and stop any bud rot setting in with this high humidity coming. Would be an absolute tragedy to lose the crop at this point as bud rot spreads like wildfire.... Christ it's stressful! 😥

Anyway, fingers crossed it survives as it smells lovely!

Thanks again for the kind words buddy, really means a lot.

All the best.

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Hey BB how’s it going?
Just finishing up eh? I’ll be checking this I love WC 😋

I'm doing well buddy, hope you're well too?

Yeah she's a lovely grow, stinks and lots of trichomes but I really have been struggling with the weather recently. Even the AC unit isn't getting the temps down quite enough during the day. The worry, as I said before, is bud rot this late in flower.

The colas are huge, but oddly enough that's not something that's a positive in high temp, high humidity environments as its sooooo easy for rot to set in under the surface with big colas. More mass = more moisture in the centre of the buds, etc etc .

Anyway, I'm doing everything i can to keep it cool and dry so I'm really hoping the crop will be decent.

I'll deffo let you know when it's ready. You've made some really kind posts about my grows that I've noticed so I'd love your opinion on this grow.

Cheers BB👍🍻

Wishing her all my best wishes BB, the first 2 grows of my friends turned out some beautiful big buds but each time over half, including the biggest ones were rotten inside. They switched to autos exclusively after this

🤞

Thanks my friend and I really do feel your pain on the Wedding Cake grow in these challenging temps!....Please put me on the list for some of this as WC is another one of my previous fav strains....Seems as of today weather is returning to some kind of normality, so maybe we can all breath a sigh of relief :)...Keep up the great work BB...You are much appreciated and loved by us all :)

Umme and Hyperglue fro Druids Magic & the Watermelon Mimosa and FOG from Superhans are the top standouts for me! Also Riley Packs Sunset Sherbet BX1 is a real treat! And Sassy Buds Chocolate Skunk 👍

That’s SIX! …no fair! 😉

🤷

Sassy's most definitley came through with the choc taste! Smooth, creamy on exhale. With coffee chocolate aroma. It was gamble for me, as I don't even like chocolate, but the bud looked so tempting, I gave it ago. And then went back in for more.

Yes...yet to try Riley Packs and Sassy Buds but heard great things about both...Isnt it just amazing & great that we have so much choice here on LB when so many others on the street,simply do not :)

I’m with Umme from Druids Magic.
I must be crazy because I’ve also shared it😱 with friends who are very fussy and fired up to be skeptical but every aspect of it has blown them away🤩🤩

What a grow!…What a seller! 🥰

Heard a lot about this Umme strain, might have to give it a go at some point. Seems like a banger!

Druids really know what they're doing, that's for sure.

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

👍👍It was Anesia Seeds but guess you probably know that 🤭

I’m meeting a couple of friends this weekend and I’ve been looking forward to sharing some Umme I’ve been saving. I guess it’s so good we’re compelled to spread the word

Honestly mate, I get messages all the time saying how much they enjoyed it which is just a big fat hint asking me if I’ve got any more?🤔😂
Fortunately I’ve got a big fat jar full! 🥳🤩🥳🤩

I bet! A big fat jar of popularity 😉

Seriously mate, drop the Druids a line…you might be surprised by what they have in those apothecary drawers and they are always open to questions…lovely folks👍😻

I'm dropping the Druids a line too mate! :)

You’d be crazy not to….you just never know!😉👍

How is your collection going Polly??...Last time it was most impressive & only something we could only aspire to...I can only wish that "Mimosa Weds" will be a benchmark for us all! Yes!!!! Take care my friend :)

Oh it’s just nuts, I have no self control on here!😳
Apart from hoovering up carts before SCL close, I’ve been adding Taffy Coffee hash coins from Hashishin, Moonrocks from Canadian Imports, a taste of fantastic Letcho Punch from MKK 2020, the wonderful Stoney’s from Pistach and that’s before mentioning any green! 🫣….oh and a great selection of Cannacaps!….oh dear..oh dear…..😻💥…(and 3 new vapes💥👍)…

Have a great Umme weekend!

If you are recommending Umme mate,then I'm for one going to try it when I can!...Druids are on the same level as BB so the risk of buying weed that isn't 100% is IMO, non existent! Excellence exists in all markets....least of all on LB...Much love to you mate :)

Really enjoyed Super Hans' Darth Vader OG

A big miss to the site Hans. Oreoz taste was crazy

When do you think that Super Hans will return?....Such a shame hes(hopefully temporarily) left Lb...Always legendary stock and higher innovative!

Agree 100% with your assessment of BB and their Jack Herer is a lovely, bright and buzzy companion for the summer days.

I took some of Green Cat’s Poundcake away with me and some friends earlier in the year and they were all very impressed by it’s bag appeal and effects, top deal that was.

Top strain to land in my stash though is Umme from Druids Magic. I grabbed 4 strains from them, all top quality, but Umme is maybe the best flower I’ve ever had.

Cant anymore to this other than a +1 mate!!!

Thanks and yes,Ive heard others mention GC Poundcake is exceptional...totally agree that BBs JH is the perfect ac compliment to those hazy summer nights and sadly Ive only got the last few gs left....big blow out this weekend i think as summer starts to show its autumn colors!....BB IS THE MAN!

SuperHans' "Speaker Knocker", it's the nicest weed I've ever smoked.

Everyone that had some said the same thing, it was incredible

yep i went completely skint just to get that one and it was almost worth it lol

as nice as it was, it's still punishingly depressing to have to spend nyon $100 to get an 8th of weed that actually goes above a 5 on the 1 to 10 scale of stinkyness lol

that being said most of the stuff i've had from canadian imports is on par with what hans used to bring, but the price is a bit more down to earth and free NDD to boot, can't go wrong!

It was pricey, but worth every penny. If I remember correctly, Hans said that batch or that specific pheno of his SpeakerKnocker was submitted into a 'cannabis cup' competition, and I can see why 🤯

Canadian imports are my go to vendor now, I still use others but not as much. C.I just had some SuperSilverHaze which was packed with flavour, and is definitely one that stands out so far this year 👌

What's been your best from C.I so far? 👍

yeah man even if that specific batch wasn't entered into a cup, i believe it was good enough to be entered for sure :D

very much the same here, the vast majority of my weed purchases are from C.I, with a bit of pistach mixed in there, and just recently yourmumshouse (fantastic vendor also)

i was hoping to try some of the SSH but i was lucky enough to get a sample of the lemon haze and it was fucking delicious for the price, due to smoking nothing but haze in my youth i tend to steer away from anything haze but it was a very nice surprise indeed!

difficult to say with my memory lol, but a top 3 from C.I this year would be the Funky Charms, Georgie Pie, Sherb Quake!

interested to hear what your best from CI might be??

Great choices, I was gutted to miss out on the Georgie Pie, it certainly looked the part!

If I had to pick 3 from C.I this year, I'd agree with you on the SherbQuake! So creamy and smooth. I'd also say their Mac1, then the SSH. But as you know, you can't really go wrong with anything from them 🇬🇧🇨🇦💚

MOONROCKS 🚀💥🚀💥🚀….boy oh boy 🥰🥰

My next weed purchase will be CI…love their work!😻

ah i hope you will enjoy it : ) those guys have looked after me like family for the best part of this year honestly!!

even some of their strains for $40 delivered are absolutely divine, the rare combination of cheap and cheerful lol

Yes,Ive also ordered from Canadian Imports & their quality and service is terrific...Yet another vendor that's 100% trustworthy in all aspects :)

Missed that one 🥲

That's a tough one as I've had some nice smoke this year. But it has to be umme I think. And I didn't share it with anyone. Very very nice and Druids certainly look after you.

Umme druids 🎉🎉🎉

Ya all know I love me some grove magic

Too vendor for me too with BB a hairs breath behind them

Infact meant to say on a previous thread about BB , rabb1t top tip buy 20g "shake" and 7g bud and you will feel like you stole from them 😆 and got a well cheap Oz of cracking green

Good luck with the weather BB ❤️

Thanks for the review Apexskunk2

I have used him a few times recently and been impressed. This looks nice man

Soon Dazzler soon kids need back to school stuff or do they?

<3

My last T break was for about 3 weeks. I think that's about long enough for me but that's a subjective thing.

I had a night or two where i woke up in cold sweats, nothing too serious but it can happen so if it does don't panic.

Also i had very vivid and often quite manic dreams, so just be aware that can happen too.

I've always gone completely cold turkey though, and never used the CBD method, so you're probably being more sensible in your approach.

I consume about as much as you do these days so haven't personally felt the need for a T break myself for quite a while. When i did it last i was on about 3.5g a day (minimum), so perhaps that's where the cold sweats etc came from.

Good luck with everything and i do think T breaks are deffo a good idea.

Cheers. BB

Great insight again BB thanks for the comment! I have noticed over the last few nights my dreams have been really vivid.

Roll with it buddy, it's completely normal. Try and enjoy the dreams! They're my favourite thing about a T break. 👍💚

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

I’m off to Turkey in 4 days and as it’s a family holiday I’m taking the opportunity for a break. I don’t use a lot but I’ve been daily for a while.
So for the last week I’ve been gradually reducing my evening consumption with tonight being my first without a smoke/edible. Good job it’s been a tough work week meaning I’m shattered.
Weaning myself off has been good for me. Perhaps more psychological than physical- I use for sleep so was really worried that I’d be an insomniac!
I’ve been supplementing with CBD gummies which must have helped keep me balanced.
This holiday is long overdue and I’m not wishing it away….. but I can’t wait to get back and melt away 😶‍🌫️

Enjoy your trip to Turkey man! Last time I was in Turkey a waiter proposed to my then missus when I went for a piss. Absolutely fearless those guys.

What was her answer? 🤭

So last night was tough… I think I got about 3 hours sleep. I don’t know it it’s all down to withdrawal. As I’ve said, i use for sleep (I love being stoned so sleep is my justification 🤫) so not having it means I may go back to my old ways. I’ve also got loads of work stress and I’m anxious about travelling as it’s been a while.
I’m having a drink tonight, my second without anything, so I’m hoping that’ll help me drift off. I know the sleep quality won’t be the best but bad quality is better than none I guess.
No work now for 2 weeks so hopefully the stress will ease too!

🤞🤞…hope it goes well WS…

Cheers Polly!
So I’ve been in Turkey for 4 days now. Because of travelling I had a total of about 8 hours sleep over 4 days in the run up so that, along with the sun, food and Efes helped with kicking the poor sleep routine so I’m over all the withdrawals now 👍
I’d forgotten how beautiful this place is. I’m still an early riser and the warm mornings would be just perfect for a wake and bake followed be a steady stone through the day but the beer will have to do!!

Hehe looks beautiful pal…always great to change things up for a bit 👍😻

One last follow up on this now I’m back….
I’d considered continuing the break for a little longer but this weather is too nice not to have a smoke.
I’m half way through my first bowl of what I think is Bulldog’s Gorrilla Zkittlez. I already had some ground up so I’m not 100% but pretty sure.
I feel just delightful right now. I was about to walk out to sit in the garden after I tried to slide my flip flops onto the wrong feet I let out a little childish giggle 🤭
Now I’m in the garden sunshine with the dog sat in a cool box filled with water next to me 😀
This post has taken a LOT of concentration to write…
I’m baked 🤤

Hehe..brilliant! 😂…see, all that willpower is paying dividends now buddy!🤩
Did you get to recharge your batteries in Turkey like you were hoping?…probably as hot here right now huh?😎

I find the best way to maintain your tolerance levels without the need for a break to be switching strains, never smoke the same bud for too long, I do at most half oz on strain and then move on ( granted there are occasion where I will pick up more because it’s too good, but then I do start to find it’s effects less so as time goes on), otherwise I just go cold turkey for a week or two and I’m flying to the moon after just a few puffs..cold turkey for me mainly involves the odd bad night of sleep, but nothing too bad…turkey and cheese sandwich helped with sleep for me lol

Little update (01/08): One week in, first three nights I was having really vivid dreams (actually enjoyed) and was waking up multiple times per night sweating profusely (didn't enjoy) from reading some posts on Reddit I see this is normal. I almost crumbled yesterday as I'd had a long day at the football and around Manchester with lots of walking involved and my body was aching but I just rolled a CBD flower joint and resisted. I think I'll do do another week then smoke a little and see how I feel. Then I'll just stick to weekends for a few more weeks as opposed to daily. On a side note, I bought some of RealDs Stardawg shake and it is the stinkiest were I've ever had (granted I've had about 10 strains ever and this is my first time buying stardawg) I opened it to jar it up first thing this morning and usually the smells is gone in a few hours but this stardawg is just lingering!

Instead of a t break consider getting a one hitter. The Dart or it’s cheaper rip off is great for this. Itas a great way to cut down. It’s just enough for a hit and makes your flower go a long way.
Giving up is easy when you want to but it’s the insomnia that gets to me

Big up for the CBD, you are getting ALL the goodies just without the THC and that will definitely help avoid withdrawal. I don’t think that’s a real big thing with weed anyway- we just MISS it so much we feel shit😉
A couple of weeks should do it. Lovely big reset and ready to go…👍👍

🙀🥹…sorry to hear that AS…sounds awful…

I'll do two weeks and then see how .5 hits me! Should I be doing them more regularly than every 4 months?

We are all different so you’ve gotta go with how you feel (or how high you feel!).
I’ve only taken breaks when I’ve been sick. Covid was a good opportunity, came roaring back after that one! 😂😂

That's exactly how I got off the nicotine. Tried patches and gum etc with no joy. Then got man flu and I couldn't even think about a cigarette for a week by which point I was over the worst of the withdrawals.

Oddly, i was the opposite. Found giving up the cigs quite easy (mostly due to vaping) but when i did, about a week into it i got what's called 'smokers flu' which is basically feeling like absolute shit when withdrawing.

Aching joints, sore throat, headaches...the lot. Bloody horrible experience.

Still, it's been a year now without any nicotine so it was worth it! Well done for getting off it yourself. Nasty stuff.

Cheers. BB

Hi BB, awesome you got off them man! When I see/smell people smoking nicotine now I look at them with disgust, forgetting that was me for about 15 years.

2 or 4 weeks is good for a reset. No withdrawals for you?, great!

Hi mate. No withdrawals but I am a regular CBD user and it's there where I get most of the benefits I'm looking for. THC just gives it extra kick. I'm sure if I'd gone cold turkey I may have had withdrawals. <1% THC in my CBD shouldn't effect things too much should it?

No because the high cbd blocks most of thc psychoactive effects but not the anti inflammatory medicinal effects;)

cdb will kill most withdrawals, without cbd after 3 days you pick up, before that tho, prepare for impact.

Killed all but the sweats and vivid dreams for me. Dreams were a positive though.

Update #2 (03/08): So after a long walk and achey muscles I stopped slightly short of my intended two weeks, at 10 days. I filled a Honey Pot flavoured King Palm with 0.6g Millionaire Shortbread CBD flower 18%-ish (from the US), and 0.4g of DIUK's mixed trim. It's probably the second best high I've had. It hit stronger (almost uncomfortable for 5 mins) and it's lasting almost twice as long as my last high before the break, two hours at the time of writing. Before the break I was consuming about 1g of THC flower to get less effects for a shorter duration. Two hours in my feet and legs are still tingling, my aches have melted away, I'm couch locked until the cat wants to come in, creative enough to post this long winded comment even though it has taken a solid 20 minutes to type this! I'm going to go back to just consuming on the weekend for a few more weeks. Obviously this high can't be 100% compared to my last high as while I used the same CBD flower, I used different shakes from different vendors on LB. Not that I took the break because I felt I was becoming dependant or for anything other than to reset my tolerance levels, but I'm really happy I did it, even if shy of the intended 14 days, I lit up tonight out of choice and not as a result of cravings/withdrawals/a need for weed. Thanks for reading! Anybody thinking of a little break go for it!

PS - I also want to say I fucking love the positivity and kindness in this thread towards eachother! I'm so happy I found this little community. X

Another thank you here for the positivity…. And I hope you don’t mind me part hijacking your thread with my own experiences!

hey....in my own experience the big learner for me was..tent size x number/size of plants..when i did my first grow, the greed was real, having put 6 x autos in 3gallon fabric pots..in a 4x4...unless you are a genius from the get go in training a plant...you'll end up with a forest...all this said...growing is a personal journey, and you never stop learning...one thing i can guarentee...its the most enjoyable experience (for me anyway) youll ever endevour...seeing your first borns go into bloom for the first time is something special...and in any grow for that matter...pm me and id be happy to help if i can in any way...you might dodge a few noob mistakes i made...
