tbh thats turning into as much of shithole these days as any other seaside town
I dont disagree, or live there, but I like the vibe there.

Whenever I go for a drink there I'm glad I did.

Has a Bohemian feel to it that is fairly unique to that area.

As you travel east (north of Thames) from London it's over priced shithole,barking, followed by over priced shithole, Grays, until you get to around Leigh where the area starts to have a bit of character)

So im guessing by your area knowledge you arent too far from me etc, but yeah, love a pint at Old Leigh but no interest in anywhere else in the area, most of it has declined so rapidly over the years with building developments and new roads its now just an extension of the shitty outer london areas, i.e. tilbury/basildon/romford/southend etc all just look like barking/ilford etc did 20 years ago

Also south of the river isnt much different these days either lol

No need for the tent but what's the brand of the hood? I want something like a raptor then I'll throw my old hood in my veg tent n rock a 400wh in there

To be perfectly honest, and don't wish to offend a native, I'm not a fan of the area.

I do quite like Southend but it's all relative. I quite like the place compared to Grays...but I'd rather live in the lake district or the highlands of Scotland, compared to these places Southend is a scar on the face of humanity.

but then you're obviously not the biggest fan of the area either lol

I did a quick search on rightmove to get that price as I didn't know it off the top of my head.

It's more than possible the filter was set from 'low to high' and that the price isn't typical for the area, I've no reason to doubt your knowledge.

I'm quite well travelled on these isles, I wish I knew the south west better, seems beautiful, but so far I've not really been to that area. (one adult weekend in Butlins, and most of it in a haze, no one's going to ask me to write a travel guide of that region)

FFS, still not harvest time :wall: . 11 weeks now! Trichomes only 50% milky, no amber, any estimates from that please? Managed to figure out, by getting my mate to check his order history on herbies then looking at pics of buds, that she's a World of Seeds Pakistan Valley which claims 45-55 days, had a rocky start though.

Buds are nice and firm, about 60% of hairs browned and receding on the cola's. First bud is at about halfway up, second budshot is the cola top left in the pic of the whole plantDSC_0061.JPG DSC_0065.JPG DSC_0066.JPG DSC_0071.JPG
