Where as in my house I started making lunch at 10:45am ffs :wall:

then twigged when my phone was saying the correct time lol.
LOL.

The Mrs didn't have a clue either.:D

Luckily my grow timers are all managed by smart switches and adjusted when the time on my Home Server updated

Afternoon gents what are my fellow uk growers smoking/growing at the minute?
and does anyone breed their own strains as I’m thinking of starting to do this myself and would love to get some more info on this
I am smoking miscellaneous weed #1. Basically, my assistant muddled up all the labels when I potted them up, so all we know for sure is that it is weed. It could be Bubblegum XL, Blue Dream or Fat Banana, it's very nice. My assistant has subsequently been handed an imaginary P45.:D

In Veg I have a Sensi Amnesia, Big Bud, Killer Glue, North Thunderfuck and Honey n' Cream.

In flower I have some Big Bud, Sernsi Amnesia, Fat Banana, Happiness, Bruce Banner #3 and French Macaron.

you can create seeds a few different ways.

You can get some colloidal silver and spread it on a female plant for it to produce male pollen sacks.

collect that pollen (which will be feminised pollen) and use that pollen to pollenate another female of whatever strain you want.

Allow it to flower and produce seeds and then you have enough seeds to last you a lifetime of grows lol.

or buy regular seeds and flower until you find a male and collect the pollen from the male and use on female plants (regular pollen will create male and female orientated seeds)

Then if you really want to go to town you can keep a mother and back cross the clones with your chosen keepers etc for stability and to breed out any traits you don’t like but that can take serious amounts of time.
Looks nice and strong that stem jheez , I’m smoking Cali connection - King Louis and some super iced grapefruit.

Yeah I’ve accidentally stressed and got myself about 100 Orange cheese cake seeds but looking to actually create a strain and stabilise it I’m just struggling to find a keeper/mother I’m to picky and end up just growing them out because they’re not good enough to keep around for long enough, I’ve got a what looks like a male it’s still in veg but pre flowers looking male (Karma- Roaddawg ) looks big and strong I was thinking about collecting the pollen and hitting it on a few lower branches of a few strains I like I’ve got in house - JMO and a Lady Sativa - English OG and Stardawg I could do it too but not really sure how to go about it like how long till males is ready and when hit the females with it etc ..

I’ve done that before with the labels now I put a label on the pot , the tray and on a bit of bamboo in the pot too , you got plenty of strains there to smoke . Love me some banner and Ammy haze and have a french macaron I got as a freebie you’ll have to keep me updated on

I think I remember why I don't buy online, maybe it's the norm to need an account but I'm not for sharing to many details to buy seeds, if I could just pay + address I could live with that but I feel they're mining unnecessary information with no guest checkout it's account only orders.

Plenty of places do guest checkouts. TBH I use Google Pay, so rather than giving dozens of companies my banking details I give it to one company and they manage it for me.

Paypal is our most popular payment method, although we have to keep this discreet. First time i used the service they let me build up 6months of sales then told me i had broken there Ts and Cs.... despite it being perfectly legal to sell seeds here in the uk (for Souvenir purposes only) ....

They then held all funds for 180 days and required ID to retrieve said funds!

Was most annoying!

Bluchi male stud at work a few weeks back, he didnt frost up at all outdoors which was intresting, all orgainc grown under our own current bun .. (i see DST done well out doors this year if mem serves)

Asking for a email address is perfectly understandable asking me to type in my password for said address nah i'm uneasy about that.

When you make an account you have to make a new password they don't want YOUR email password. just use any different password from your normal passwords and you're good to go mate and use PayPal to pay and the company won't know anything other than your email address

That's what I thought/expected so I put in a email address with a new password and wouldn't accept it, I then tried to "sign in using google thingy" and my fkg name etc was loaded onto their server/computer whatever it's stored in.
Idk much about digital stuff (clearly lol) but I'm sure with a warrant the police can remove it and read everything on it.

Always good to be cautious but really it ain’t in the companies interest they have way more to lose if shit goes pear shaped and don’t think the fluffy truncheons are bothered about peeps growing a few plants although that does seem to change depending where your located and how bored they are or a doughnut shortage

When you first go on a sight it should say somewhere on the screen make account or new account its normally somewhere really small on the sign in screen

That isn't how it works. When you sign in using Google, your Google account gives your browser secure access to their server in the form of a token. Google will only give them the relevant for details for the transaction. The Authorities would need a warrant to access your data, that would cost thousands and take months. Also that assumes the transaction actually took place in the UK, which is doubtful, especially if you used Google, they aren't a UK company.

Within minutes of clicking on sign in with Google I got two emails from them with my name... I was already annoyed by then idk wtf an address and payment isn't sufficient.
Nosey bastards imo.

There isn't a mail order company in the world that isn't going to want your name. They need it for shipping and billing purposes. I run my own business, I do local logistics contracts for florists. I have to keep records of every transaction I make for 6 years, it is the law. The Florist has to keep the details of the customers for 6 years too, again it's the law. Even with a card transaction over the phone or in a shop face to face the vendor gets your name. If you spend money on your card in a shop, your name will appear of the shop's bank statement. The only anonymous way of buying something is with cash and then only if it is nominal amounts, if you fronted in to a shop and spent thousands in cash they'd want your details, the banks would insist, it is to stop money laundering. AFAIK a bank will want full ID if you want to deposit more that £2k in cash.

I reckon cash as we know it is going to start being phased out within 10 years.
