I bet you've never seen ganja like this!

That's amazing-- and basil definitely does not flower like that! Keep sending pics of that one. Cheers.

Ahh madness, both of you are right, He meant trichomes are crystal hairs basically. The White/Orange Hairs = Pistols, he probs knows that

just crossed wires i think

one way of knowing what the hell it was would be to eliminate the thort that you had basil seeds lying about anyway, if you dont, you got a funky duck foot plant, if you do, you might of planted a basil plant and thort you got lucky

Also i think you all cropped too early

Yeah, this is me in case you are wondering. I'm the guy in the bottom right with the medal. I won the 100m dash. Pretty hot, eh? Any girls out there wanna hook up? Y'know I got the buds!

What in the wide, wide world of sports was unclear to you when I said "most plants have trichomes" that caused you to reply saying; "lots of plants have them not just cannabis?"

LOL, funniest shit I've read all week.

this is a piss take

Brick Top said:

There are no trichomes at all, anywhere? Are you absolutely positive because regardless of it the plant is cannabis or basil it should still have trichomes? Most plants have trichomes and as I said be it duckfoot cannabis or a duckfoot cross or basil the plant should have trichomes.

I only ask because if you were correct about the plant not having trichomes then you have to be in error about what the plant actually is. If there are trichomes then you might be accurate about what the plant actually is and were only in error about there not being any trichomes.

Epidermal Cell Types. Epidermal cells are the most common cell type in the epidermis. These cells are often called "pavement cells" because they are flat polygonal cells that form a continuous layer, with no spaces between individual cells. Epidermal cells secrete the waxy hydrophobic substance cutin that polymerizes on the surface, forming a barrier to water evaporation. Epidermal cells are transparent because their plastids remain small and undifferentiated; hence light readily penetrates through to the photosynthetic tissues beneath the epidermis.


Two more specialized cell types are also found in the epidermis: guard cells and trichomes. Guard cells are kidney-shaped cells that are filled with chloroplasts. They always occur in pairs and form a small pore between them. The pair of guard cells and their pore is called a stomate and functions in gas exchange. Typically, the guard cells open the pore during daylight hours to allow CO 2 to diffuse into the photosynthetic tissues below. At night, however, the guard cells close the pore, preventing the diffusion of water vapor from internal tissues. The green chloroplasts of the guard cells function to provide the energy that fuels the opening and closing process.

O.K. - I've had some problems with caterpillar grubs eating the leaves. It was gross - they were actually INSIDE the leaves if you can imagine that - now I took off all the infected leaf but now there are actual caterpillars eating the leaf. So, not exactly UK bug resistant strain. I hate butterflies!

Yeah, I'm in the good ol' UK - don't mention the football.

This week I'll be doing a bud photo shoot - I dunno when - but these girls are sure as hell packing on the weight for only 2-3 weeks in flower. This Monday marks the start of week 27 of the cannabis season - and I'm thinking another 9 weeks to go for these ladies.

That said, I'd like to talk about Lowryder - and am I right in assuming its a Willie Wonder heritage? Because the stems on most the girls are an 1" thick (no shit - that ain't even the base of the stem! I'm talking top cola here)

And I'm thinking the reason the stems are so thick is because they are gonna produce some heavy colas. I sure hope so.

To update you on the trichome issue - I discovered the trichomes a few days ago on the UNDERSIDE of the leaf - but also now a few days later they are getting eye-visual candy specks of trichomes on the topside too.

That said, on some of the very tops of the colas - the leaves on the underside are THICK with trichomes.

And some of the buds on the middle of the plant are really massive. I'm gonna have to show the non-believers a side shot of a top cola to show the INSANE bud growth. There are literally hundreds of bud sites running up each stem of the plants. It's fuckin insane. These are the biggest producers I've ever seen at such a young age.

And I've grown at least 60 different strains both indoors and outdoors over the years. Not the heaviest of all the producers I'd say, only one tops that and that was a Positronics Skunk #1. That was my first grow(!) and it put out well over an 1oz per cola with something like 8 colas per plant. I've never had such good production on cannabis since. Until now!

This is gonna be one hell of a growing season. And even if you're thinking - what good is oz's of LOWRYDER bud? I've also got Cheese X NYCD in the greenhouse - and that is one of the most potent varieties that grow outdoors in the UK. Even two fan leaves from the Cheese made me feel the fear when I first smoked her! And the taste is berry flavour - an insanely potent fruity variety.

Very dark fruit - heavy on the tongue and throat - even when smoked you get the flavour actually IN the smoke - and the room just smells delicious.

Nothing like the old school skunks and Shivas from Sensi seeds when you KNEW it was cannabis that you are smoking! Haha. These new strains are truly something else.

Lowryder comes from Ruderalis genetics and are not very good imo. I wouldn't smoke it. Maybe take a toke just to be polite...

so you have all these strains and all this experience yet you didn't know the cannabinoids are produced in the trichomes?

are you telling porkies?

This is the most entertainment ive got out of a thread 2 date...i wanna see some pics of the basil/weed/monster...and DID U SAY U WERE SMOKIN FAN LEAVES?? can somebody give me more info on this..cause thats jus not right..and FDD..ur a funny man...BRICKTOP ur a very smart man..SKUNKUSHYBRID..I like that u challange whatever u seem fit 2..i had 2 let u guys kno because u provided a lil entertainment

That's just what he wants people to believe. Anybody can look smart by cut n pasting somebody else's work. Just type a few keywords into google and bam, lots of people will have written about the subject already.

I think it's known as plagiarism.

Quite distasteful, imo...

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

Well said, nice piece of Shakespeare.. copy & pasted? lol.. just jestin..

A heavy thunderstorm hit the UK. It just went over. I went outside after the rain had subsided - and awed at my LR x DF all wet and tingly.

It's a beautiful morning when you can go outside - harvest some opium - and look on at buds swelling before your very eyes.

Love it when it rains after a good run of sun.. love the smell of the wet grass & foiliage, watching dew drops dripping from opium heads is a site to behold... wait a minute... OPIUM?!

Omg this thread is hilarious man that's too funny people are crazy sometimes, talking about smoking basil and shit wow this dude thought he was growing ganja

There is a difference between cooked opium and raw opium. Cooked opium is when you do a water extraction from the plant by placing the poppy plant inside boiling water then reducing the water down to a tar. This tar is known as cooked opium. Raw opium is what you harvest from the plant when the plant is alive. To get raw opium, you basically cut the pod open and let the latex drip out and collect it later when the sun has hardened it. Also, it can also be collected by cutting the pod off the plant, and the latex flows from the stem. Not many people enjoy raw opium, but I am one of them - smoking it on foil much like heroin. The taste is sublime.

Did you know there are opiate receptors in the brain? So, basically, generations after generations of humans have been ingesting opiates for a genetic change to occur. Or, God gave us those receptors to enjoy more fruits of the Tree of Life. You see, that THC receptor is not the only receptor in the brain! Opiate receptors exist also. This is why I grow the opium poppy. I believe it to be a spiritual experience when the poppy season comes around.

i have tiny penis.
