Cheers guys, Thanks for the welcome!

Ive always grown from seed , always Fem too but gonna try my hand at Regs this time round, Ive also never taken cuttings so def looking to get into that!!
Im really interested in trying some of the canadian strains ive been smoking from the web, Where would i start? Im a real flavour chaser tbh, anything that tastes great and is moreish is what i want, favourites include discobiscuits - green crack etc but fav ever was a NYCD cut that used to float around my way 15 yrs ago, still up there as the nicest weed ive ever smoked! I remember cuts going for £2000 back then! But i didnt grow then unfortunately! But i can see why cuttings are the way forward once you have a keeper or 2!

Ive been spoilt by the different flavours ive bought online tbh, now most of the street weed taste nasty compared! God i wish I lived in Canada.

Can not wait to start growing again, This time i will be buying a decent controller of some sort and also some decent LED's, looks like they have come a long way since I last used them!

All the best!

I've got my temp and humidity just nice between two dehumidifiers, the smaller one stays on and slows the rate of humidity rising + supplies heat, after it get above 63% the big one kicks in and drops it to 58% (20ltr iirc) that'll only continue to come on until the small one (12ltr iirc) can keep it around 60%.

@Newgrow31 For every 1000w it costs 36p to run per hour.

Say 500w x 12hrs = 6 kwh
6 kwh x 36p = £2.16p a day.

Ain’t just your lighting you need to be concerned about, in some cases hid lighting makes more sense than leds especially when it’s bastard freezing many peeps get there 600w ballasts out after bonfire night ….

I was just going to say mate, they're not cheaper to actually run.

What i don't put into lighting wattage i need to put into heater/dehumidifier it costs me more overall, partly humidity and part temperature, don't write off hid especially if it's for personal. @Newgrow31

Yep! Think it was grapefruit! It had EVERYTHING! Smell, taste, bag appeal, probably the smelliest weed ive ever encountered! We went to Dam around the same time (must of been very early 2000's) and they had pretty much the same cut in the coffee shops.. Really wish i was growing then!
I am tempted to grab a pack of Soma's NYCD and see if I can find anything similar but i dont like the thought of wasting space as the :standard: NYCD isn't that amazing imo. I did grow some Amherst Diesel which was really nice tbf but still not a patch on this cut!

I just picked up, supposedly a q of RS11 and a q of Mcflurry!

This is exactly why I need to get growing again, they are both decent smokes but look how much dust is in 1 bag and how small the buds are!

The other one is supposed to be RS11 hmmmm, looks and smells like cookies to me! tbf it has an extra layer to it than straight up cookies but it certainly ain't got no kush or pink guava in it!!

So hit and miss because the same dude had some banging scott og and mac1 not long ago!

It's not fun being at the bottom of the food chain!!

F#ck prohibition! Makes me mad when I see how America and Canada are living!

e2a - I cant upload the photo
