EU buyers; Where you buying at?
Hello Cannabis Connoisseurs,
I was wondering where do you all order from in the EU, since lately there are very limited number of legit vendors that are EU based, how does it work ordering from outside the EU? For example from the UK, how does it works with the customs declarations and etc. Would appreciate some heads up!!

I've used them 2 times and was happy with everything. Their comms are great so if you need anything particular reach out and ask them.
Been ordering EU to EU for a couple of years and it's not as good as it used to be for sure.
I'm half way through receiving an order from NC249. Stealth was ok, comms excellent and product is ok so far.
I put in order with GoodStuff EU yesterday...still waiting to see if being sent. Had stuff from Euroterps ( crap gear to be honest) but good stealth and comms until they disappeared.
Nero was good for me a few years back as was Hashishn who can get a parcel anywhere due to amazing stealth.
If I am in the UK I don't look at EU vendors as there is no point.
Eddie's EU was good until recently. Perfect stealth ( EU to EU may not have customs but it does have some thieving posties, lots of them)
They also had some great hash.
Good luck!

So at this moment we don't have any EU vendor actively selling as far as I can see?
Eddys Hasbar EU was great until things went downhill with their OG shop. North Collective was great too but they stopped selling indefinitely. So where do you EU people get your flower, any vendors I maybe failed to find?

Had some minor setbacks and we were waiting on a local grower to finish curing.

I order from Dr Distillate regularly and have no issues. The odd time I have a customs fee to be paid but thats usually a small fee under €5.00. Pontiff of Piff has served me well in the past as well.
Hi, do you need to fill a customs declaration paperwork stating description of goods, value etc? Or do you just pay the fee and they release your package?
only the sender, that sends out the package needs to fill out the "paperwork" called CN22. When you recieve the package, you just need to pay the import fees automatically set by customs.
The import fee depends on the value of the items inside, so its up to the vendor what you pay in fees upon recieving.
NC249

NC249
yeah, in Germany we have a "Einfuhrumsatzsteuer", but it only applies when the imported goods reach a set value..The set value here is 5 eur.
Sometimes customs sends a letter to the receiver asking for the contents and proof of purchase. If there is no reply, the parcel returns to the sender. Rarely would they be able to check the contents in order to apply the correct taxation. However in the last 2 years this has not happened to my knowledge, instead of sending a letter they apply the standard taxation of € 22. It happened to me twice. Anyway 9 times out of 10 it’s about 5 euro.

An expedition force of 14000 was sent to Russia after the revolution. They got whooped within a year and a half and sent back.
They're definitely in Ukraine in some capacity, getting whooped again.

Looks cool, but that's damaged, right?🤔
That’s what I thought, looks like it’s gotten a bit bleached by being too close to a light, something I’ve seen before irl. Interesting purpling and bud structure though
The grower said "That’s completely incorrect. What you’re referring to is actually called photobleaching. The tops of the plants were never above 20°C, so they weren’t burned at all. This strain is just particularly sensitive to the red spectrum of light. Please avoid making assumptions about things you’re not fully informed about. For the record, the terpene levels on this strain are far higher than anything you’ve likely experienced.
Just copy and paste for you :) not wasting time "

The convection heat might have been 20c (which is too low for perfect growing conditions anyway) but the radiant infrared heat has burnt the tops of purple buds.
Light bleaching is just another way of saying it's burnt.
I've done the same with high power LEDs too close to the plants.
It happens.

Said it doesn't have a name yet, but he's naming it after the top comment, someone said it looks exactly like what they thought Rainbow Unicorn Farts would look like, so that's the strain name lol

3rd attempt Growing advice

If a carbon filter not working for you, you're defo doing…
3rd attempt Growing advice
Recommendations for cheap grow tent/compete set up ,I recently got a ts3000 450watt from Mars hydro, I’ve tried to grow a few times but It seem to end up with mold in late flower so I was thinking of some kind of air exhaust/carbon filter also too regulate the humidity?
There is no such thing as a cheap set up mate.
Buy cheap buy twice!!
There is an awfull lot more to growing than throwing a light over them in a cheap tent!
An extraction set up is manditory really,for numerous reasons...First and foremost is to make the whole grow odourless to the outside world!! Secondary is to keep the relative humidity below 50% in late flower to avoid your beloved crop turning to grey mold before your eyes.
I suggest joining a forum and posting your grow up.uk 420 maybe? Lots of experienced growers on there will help you have a successfull harvest.

Have you got any recommendations for an exhaust system for a 5x5? I’m going to check out that website after I’m home for work thanks !
What else do you have e in your grow kit?
You got a meter that measures temp and humidity. I’d hazard a guess this is the issue.
You can grow without and exhaust fan, I had several crops fine but as stated will stink without a carbon filter, mainly in flowering near end tbh.
However with a fresh air intake at bottom of tent and hot exhaust extraction at top you will get better results.
You can couple the exhaust fan to a temp controller too, I found this would help regulate at night in cold winters.
I managed to sort a whole carbon exhaust and smaller intake with fans and tubing for under 100 quid.
Make sure you got a little circulation fan in tent too, plants will love you for that addition

That’s all I kinda just winged the first 3 times but this time I got a decent light and tent so wanted to know what else to buy to make it all go perfect this time 🤷♂️, yeah my problem was definitely humidity and heat. Luckily for me smell isn’t really a issue I’ve found so far
Smell not an issue in terms of Random’s smelling or your skunk ain’t hit that overwhelming stench 😂
Avoid all in one deals, usually can get cheaper.
Amazon delivered most my stuff including soil lol a bit bait I know but did for years 😂
If growing in soil get ph meter you stick in, can get ones that switch between a few things including ph and wetness - 10 quid or so
Humidity meter / temp - 5 quid
Cheap tent - varies on brand and size - I’d go biggest you can first rather than neeeding to upgrade when you grow monsters lol
clip on fan for inside tent to circulate air (one that can oscillate) 10-30 quid
Key things you need to manage are:
Temps / humidity
Water
Air
Temps - can’t stress this enough!!! Dropping a couple of degrees is fine at night but big spikes will stress you babies
I believe leds ain’t as hot as I used to run hps.
The ONLY reason I had extractors was to manage temp via controller AND smell when peak flowering!!!!
You can get away with opening flaps and fan inside but I’d crack a window for some fresh oxygen.
You can go deep into more automation, nutrients and all that shit later mate.

No ones mentioned pot choice. It does matter.
I used Airpots-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
But messy to water with,but because they have holes in,you can get air to those roots—-I completely by accident ended up blasting the roots with winter uk temps (jan/feb) and the results we’re spectacular.
If I remember right I got 30 oz from a single 600w bulb.!!
Ak48-will never forget.
Good luck

Environment is Number one.
Get yourself a hygrometer with min and max facility on it and you'll know what is happening in the tent when you're not around.
With LED's you want about 27c lights on, and no lower than 22 with the lights off. While they are still Vegging, humidity should be around 70% but when in flower you should be aiming for 50%. Probably a tenner from amazon.
You need an extractor fan, probably about a 150mm for a small tent, but this needs to be wired into a fan controller such as an SMS, which will regulate the fan speed depending on what temp is in your tent. When it gets hot, the fan speeds up, and when the desired temp ir reached, it turns itself back down to the minimum. One end of the fan should have a carbon filter on it to hide the smell as best it can and the other end should be vented out of the tent. Not only does this control temps but it also draws in fresh CO2 which is essential to growth.
Next you need a heater of some kind for when the light is off or its particularly cold. Oil filled rads work best. Again, you need a controller for the heater to turn itself off and on as required. G.A.S make a pretty good heater controller for about 50 quid.
These are the most important steps. You could have the best cuttings or seeds in the world, but if your environment is not right, they'll still come out shit.
Search google for Growell or greens horticulture. They do all the bits youll need

Hey 5x5 tent , 3-5 auto flowers I have seeds though not cutting, I’m growing the top back of my house
All good advice above...
If you don't get your environment right...you will always struggle...air flow and extraction are a must imo!
Good luck!

If you’ve built a pc, try emulate a tower that has bottom / front intakes - exhaust out your top and back.
If really wanting good intakes - get smaller in-line fan and flexi trunking and seal this to window.
In winter i used to run my spent exhaust gas through the door on the room and into the house.
Saved on heating through winter 😂
Also remember air flow drops drastically with frequency of turns and harsh bends!!!

PC fans are also surprisingly powerful. I used to use them in my fermentation fridge when making beer.
look at deals on londongrow brother always got full kit deals...
If you just need better Air flow try and get a inline extraction 300m3hr
Just out of interest your obviously not using any form of humidifier in flower? or folliar feeding? XpeaceX

You just need to replenish air, personally in a 5x5 I would use a 8inch extractor on a speed controller, that way you're covered if humidity spikes in flower. A 6inch should do it tho. intake is kinda optional I guess if your on a budget. defo leave vents open tho if not using a intake.
keep RH below 60% in flower and you should avoid mold. You will need the give your grow area and room a very good clean since you have had mold before. You should also see a huge improvement in yield since they would have been starved for co2 on your previous attempts.

Use airpots,and utilise the hundreds of holes in the design to blast colder air at the roots inside.
I did exactly that during a winter grow that finished on feb 13th- air was freezing !! Biggest crop I ever got from one 600w bulb 30 odd ozs.
Best of luck.

If mild is your main issue then you’re not moving enough air out.
This is paramount to keeping the moisture under the required amount.
Get a built in sensor that you can monitor with.
Maybe don’t water til run off when plants get bigger? Just add a bit at a time?
You need a good exhaust system (air out) and your game will change,I’m sure of it.
You won’t have to spend more than £70 for a brilliant extraction unit. And don’t forget about the ‘last line of defence’——the inline ozone attached to that exhaust. ABSOLUTE zero smell leaving your gaff. This is the most important purchase my friend.
Definitely join the forums,
So much advise there.

Number one piece of advice before seeds, tents, lights, extractors, nutes:
Get a decent air intake ie. cool, fresh air being drawn in from outside. You'll need to drill / bore a hole. Drill 2 holes, side by side and extract your air from the other. The cool air intake should preferably lay close to the floor so that it circulates around and then upwards. Invest in an adjustable fan - that way you can keep temps within the ideal range, even with hot lamps.

Some fascinating stuff about hash and rosin making too.
I don’t grow. Still love listening to experts who do, talking about it. It’s fascinating learning all about all the original phenos direct from the people who grew them, year in, year out.

I’ve only grown once, as much to see if I could do it as anything else (cost/effort wise, it’s debatable how much benefit you ultimately get with a small grow, but I enjoyed it). As others have said, air flow and temperature were key things for me. And you also mentioned the smell not being an issue. This is interesting, because—done right—it’s going to smell *really* strong. So that filter is a must. I used a Black Orchid (100 mm) extractor fan and a 4inch filter made by a company called Ram. And make sure you’re taking care of them when they’re getting started (I read up on topping and pruning, and it really helped to establish sturdy/healthy plants). Good luck!
I would say also research different strains. Some are more resistant to mold than others.
I used to grow auto flowers and found the ones with a short flowering time like the F1 were far more susceptible to mold.

You can try with a carbon filter but I wouldn't bother, never found one that works. But yes you do need suck all that hot air out of the tent - not push - put the exhaust fan at the exit point within the tent and the other end attach to your light fitting - get a cool tube. And get the most powerful fan you can because you want a powerful suck so that the walls of the tent get sucked inwards, like the opposite of a bouncy castle - this creates the perfect grow environment as well as a few side effects such as killing bugs, they can't live in a negative pressure which is what inside your tent will be if you have the walls going inwards and you shouldn't get any mould. BUT... you still need to move the air around inside the tent and have good air flow over your crop - this will help strengthen the branches and also eliminate mould, end of. To do this get 2 oscillating desk fans and 2 bits of 50cm long bit of timber - turn the fans upside down and unscrew the bottom, screw that to the bit of timber then screw the bottom with the timber attached back on to the fan. Then screw a hole at each end of the timber and get some wire - each fan will be in opposite corners upside down with the wire tied to the top poles of the tent, get them right back in the corner and on oscillate - now buy a timer and plug them both in, put the timer on random times eg 1 hour on, 15mins off, 30mins on, 45mins off, 15 mins on etc for the full 24 hours. This will give you max yields for all the reasons I have mentioned and more. Best of luck.
Cool tube? What's is this 2001?
Man said he's using a mars so that's gonna be a LED panel.
If a carbon filter not working for you, you're defo doing something wrong.
I've run in both push and pull configs and always managed to get a good seal.
If you've got neighbours of any sort then you need a filter.
Otherwise good advice about keeping the air flowing.
I used to use oscillating fans inside the tent plus the extraction set up.

Couldn’t agree more with everyone! They need to be taken care of like babies ;) Fresh air is difficult especially in winter and humidity when we use heating and all the rain has definitely made us seen a difference and we had to exercise more control. There’s some really top dehumidifiers out there bud but as everyone said spend the money and you won’t regret it as the yield will pay it all off in no time
Have you you got any equipment you could recommend ? This all sound like so much effort but I really need to I spend over 1k a month on weed 😂 just wish I lived somewhere I could just plant and leave it to grow 🥲🥲

New barz_la dry sift
I had the currency off THC and I think it was a bit nicer than the ocaso.
Looking to try these new ones out.
New barz_la dry sift
We have added to new strains to the menu
● Currency = Jesus OG x Cheese x Sour Diesel
● Bakewell tart = Lemon cherry gelato
● Currency = Jesus OG x Cheese x Sour Diesel
● Bakewell tart = Lemon cherry gelato
Only smoked the Ocaso and Cherry Trifle previously (favouring the latter), so this sounds quite intriguing. Get some different Barz LA Red label stuff please!
The red was the best I'd had (arguably better than the purple?) ever, until I had that last hash I reviewed. Nearly smoked all of that, unfortunately. Still have a couple of pots of red though.
Gotta admit the currency might tempt me. I've had the ocaso previously which is phenomenally nice. Which do you reckon is actually the strongest version?

This video might upset some people
I think sativa has just become a code word for, "not very strong" nowadays.
If you get enough THC in you, it's going to put you to sleep.
I watched that video the other day and it made me think of a post from PollyPuff about the entourage effect:
https://littlebiggy.net/link/UoJF1H
I'm very much a scientific person and I know the science says there's no difference but I just can't reconcile that with my decades of smoking experience. How is it that 'sativa' strains often trigger my anxiety but 'indicas' almost always have the total opposite effect and can bring me out of an episode?!
I know there's a whole lot more going on with the influence of terpenes, other minor cannabinoids, etc. that we maybe don't fully understand yet so perhaps there's a scientific explanation for it but for now it remains a mystery to me.

that's the thing, science often changes its mind once it considers more parameters and cannabis understanding is still in diapers.
This was actually really interesting. My partner and I have ‘debated’ lol at length the indica v sativa thing and whether there’s a difference, in the end all I could/can say is a good quality indica to me at least feels like I have a force almost pushing me deeper into the sofa where as a good sativa always brings me up, both mentally and gets me laughing and indeed wanting a good time! Seems according to this, that science says it’s in my head!!
Weed definitely has different effects from strain to strain but it does seem there is more to it than Indica/sativa
Headspace/terps/minor cannabinoids are my thoughts
Headspace/terps/minor cannabinoids are my thoughts
Set and setting is definitely a thing. One day I can consume with others and laugh my tits off, the next day by myself and I just fall asleep. All using the same strain (aaaaghh!! bacteria... Chemovar? one debate at a time!)
When people say sativa gives them an "up" effect, what time of day is this? Morning? or is it the first toke of the day but at 11 at night?
When using indica and people get a "down" effect, again what time of day is this? Night time after a tiring day? or is it first toke of the morning after a heavy session the night before?
All I'm trying to do is provoke thinking about why and when we perceive these indica/sativa effects beyond just sativa = energy and indica = couchlock.
It's all very interesting.

Very well put indeed, not just set and setting either, overall headspace and mood, and probably one of the most undervalued metrics in this whole topic is diet + exercise, every single one of these factors will dictate how you're going to be affected by the consumption of THC
and of course let's not forget the grow, grower, what it was grown in, time of harvest during flower and what stage the trichomes were at in their development are all things that will have a huge impact on how that particular batch of that particular grow will effect you! the people who are searching for a particular strain for it's supposed effects are wasting their time and money, the strains name does not dictate it's effects or how much of a indica / sativa hybrid it is, all a strain name will tell you is where the genetics are from and roughly what terpenes you should be expecting, that is all
there's also no such thing as 50/50 sativa indica hybrids and 70/30 etc etc

Yeah always thought the ratio thing was a bit dodgy. Why not 23/77 or 86/14 ?
Also, when 50/50 (or any ratio really) why is it usually "will give you a burst of creative energy but will eventually lead to a relaxed state of mind and peaceful sleep, if you can keep the munchies away!"
Why that order? It's 50/50 so why not: "will send you immediately into a creative sleep where you will raid the fridge by sleepwalking. Careful though you will suddenly have a burst of energy and wake up doing pushups."
Or, to make further mockery: "careful this 80/20 sativa will glue you to the sofa if you smoke the last 20% of the joint"
Regardless of ratio most descriptions just describe the cannabis intoxication journey. It will give you a high (head, body, insert personal effect) leading to the end of the high (relaxation, sleep, insert personal effect).
-plonk-
Steps down from soapbox. I need a toot, exhausted so I'll go for a nice sativa. :)

Well a hybrid is a hybrid. If my dad is aborigine and my mum is a Klingon then I’m 50:50 and the world is my lobster right? So cross a sativa haze with a Hindu Kush and it will be a 50:50 hybrid of the two, it’s just what difference that makes in the effects and whether those effects are attributable to the plant type rather than other elements. I guess we are now siding with “other elements “, which is fine.
But this is evidence based on blind tests where the reported effects didn’t correlate to the strains. In my own lab I have 42 numbered jars- I can only know what strain they are by referring to my trusty spreadsheet 🤓. When I try them at random and try to guess from the effects whether they are indica or sativa I always get it right. 100%. Not even slightly difficult.
But then I have 30 different tequilas and I am pretty good at blind testing those too 🤠…..

But what happens if your Dad is 32% Indonesian and 68% Armenian and your mum is 38% Klingon and 62% Borg (? that's a Trek thing innit?) Then your not 50:50. It's meaningless!
Ok you can identify between your own stash - well done but can you hand on heart take a toke and say hmm, I'm getting 25% sativa effects and 75% indica effects or whatever?
Unless you mean you are 50:50 as in hermaphrodite? 😉
With all that's been said I am still very much influenced by either sativa/indica descriptions - what more is there to go on?

Now don't get mad, I'm not being sarcastic or disingenious. This is a 100% genuine response after reading and re-reading your comment for the last 10 minutes: Sorry, I don't understand?
Thank fuck for that! My antenna isn't erect enough at the moment. I think it needs greasing and if I just give it a tug it may start working. Although last time I did that it poked me in the eye.
Phew! You had me thinking “Christ, if I can’t even get a smile out of CB then I’m cancelling my One Dog Stand Up Tour! “ 🥹
didn't take long did it for people to start glazing over the science once again and stating "but, but i can feel a difference" lol, i'm experiencing such high levels of second hand embarrassment
i know it's difficult they've been perpetuating this bullshit for donkeys years and don't want to pull themsleves out of their ways but i've linked every article under the sun on this in the past even ones on blind testing that continually expose this pseudoscience but it doesn't sink in
if selective hearing is a thing then i'm pretty sure selective learning is a thing too, well the past few years has proven this more than ever

Wish I could keep some in jars but It never stay s in the jars for long ,abit like my vodka bottle ha ha u lot are good people
I have 3 children using this theory they should all be fairly similar as 50/50 me and Mrs rabb1t and therefore the same as each other
They aren't
They aren't
Well genetically they certainly are. Unless there’s something Mrs.Rabb1t isn’t telling you..🤫
Yes but ones hyperactivity, ones like the opposite and ones bang in the middle
I'm genuinely not making this up
But technically they are all 50/50 yeah?

Interesting ‘cos it’s exactly the same argument- genetics vs effects yeah? We think that a plants genetics give us particular effects but the (scant) evidence suggests otherwise. Kids personality traits don’t mirror their genetics but their DNA doesn’t lie.
Every discovered language in human history uses nouns, verbs and adjectives. Isolated tribes that have never learned anything from anyone still form their language that way. Nobody knows why…

Well I am a lying sexual deviant, two faced and with loose morals, no heart or backbone, serving only myself and people who pay me enough. So yeah, maybe I could be a politician. :)
Well that's ok because the idea I have means you would be in politics a short time anyway
I want to create a political party with two policies only
To change how politicians are paid and limit their activities outside of government being one
But the main reason I want to do this is, to have a party that changes the rules
No more first past the post, proportional representation elections instead
Once changing these the government would immediately have a general election to allow the changes to be made
Now there's the small matter of the house of lords
Now we know blowing it up didn't work previously...
So am open to suggestions 🤔
There's lots of fed up people on this island, the issue I feel is the lack of representation of our interests

My thought process is that sativa and indica are individual species of the cannabis plant which would itself suggest some biological variations between the two, so I still think there's maybe something missing from the 'no difference between them' position.
I get that selective breeding over the years has blurred that line somewhat but going back far enough, pure indica plants were very different from sativa variants in terms of appearance and growth behaviour, so logic would dictate other biological differences too.
The reason we started cross-breeding them to create hybrids in the first place was to combine the different characteristics of each species, so why did we do that if they're all the same?
If we're being truly scientific then we have to recognise that just because we haven't yet identified those differences, or what they mean for us, that doesn't necessarily mean they don't exist.

Hi OldManEd, It's difficult to get that image of large plant, narrow leaved sativa and small plant, broad leaved indica out of our heads isn't it?
On one hand you say they are individual species but later you say they are variants of each other? Science says genetically they are the same. It's how those genes are expressed that makes some sort of difference in effects.
I wish I knew more about plant biology but I do know the same species of a particular plant can exhibit different traits depending on environment, growing conditions, etc. (its phenotype -ooooh, swallowed a dictionary have you!) I have some Tulips from the same seed packet at my front door in a container and they are all yellow. In the back garden in the ground they are all red.
I just wish we had pure sativa and pure indica seeds because I theorize if you put either seed in hot, equatorial zones they will exhibit sativa traits and place them in cooler, temperate zones they will exhibit indica traits.
It's all interesting.

There not saying there isn't a difference more that there isn't a couchlock indica cannabinoid and a hyper sativa cannaboid and that's it's the different ratios of terps/noids etc etc but there isn't a thing that either sativa or indicas have that other doesn't
Yeah, all fair points - maybe I should stop trying to make sense of it all and just enjoy it for what it is. 😊
Love this, Since we've established that there is no scientific difference between an indica and sativa, it's only fair to discuss why these strains might feel so different when ingested. The most likely hypothesis is the entourage theory, also called the entourage effect.
The research shows that genetically it is impossible to prove whether a cannabis plant is an Indica or Sativa. There is no difference in the genes. “What studies mainly shows is that you should not just rely on those labels, but that you should look at the specific terpene profile.
The cannabis industry needs to look more critically at its own disclosures. According to researchers at Canada’s Dalhousie University and the Wageningen University & Research, the Indica and Sativa labels on cannabis are often wrong and misleading. Patients and consumers would benefit from a more scientific approach. The researchers analysed hundreds of cannabis samples. The study shows that the genetic and chemical composition of the cannabis tested often does not correspond to the typical cannabis label Indica or Sativa.
The terms Indica and Sativa are often used to categorise cannabis. These different strains are generally believed to be associated with certain psychoactive effects. Often the effect of a Sativa strain is described as mentally stimulating and energising, while that of an Indica strain is described as relaxing and soothing. In addition, it is often suggested that the labels say something about the genetic background.
“For example, cannabis labelled as Sativa often contains higher concentrations of single terpenes with tea-like and fruity aromas, while Indica samples generally contain higher concentrations of terpenes with an earthy smell such as myrcene, guaiol, gamma-elemene and gamma-eudesmol.”
The distinction that some researchers found is not convincing: “It really is about these specific, individual terpenes that make the difference. The overall chemical profile, like the genetics, shows no apparent difference between the labels. We also found only a small number of regions in the cannabis genome that likely contribute to the earthy aroma associated with the Indica label
It’s a tough subject for sure 😂❤️

So the people (like this woman who often work for big corporations who are profiting from weed) who claim we have proven that indica/sativa doesn't mean anything haven't shown any evidence that isn't an article that doesn't cite sources
Show us meta analysis of multiple peer reviewed clinical studies that conclusively prove indica/sativa is bullshit.
You can't. You don't have anymore evidence than the bro science people saying indica/sativa is important.
Neither side can actually evidence their claims so I am not require to believe or accept either position until it is demonstrated to be true.
Now stop pretending this woman is some sort of genius, and admit she is just repeating what others have told her without referencing any studies at all.

None of the linked studies are direct confirmation of the premise, and near the end of the interview you linked to, she details how myrcene and limonene (as examples) are more responsible for the perceived effects, without mentioning that sativa plants grow more limonene and indicas grow more myrcene generally.
It's hilarious watching this whole debate realise indica / sativa are indicators of terpene content, not botanical classifications. Almost like we understood that all along if you've smoked weed for a while 😂
Its nice to have some basic evidence that terpene groupings are more important than anything else, will be interesting to see how minor cannabinoids and flavinoids affect our opinion of the botanical accuracy of the old terms.

I think sativa has just become a code word for, "not very strong" nowadays.
If you get enough THC in you, it's going to put you to sleep.

Agree.
That's why we stop listing indica/sativa in our listings. There is no way to determine which was it leans other than how you feel and we're taking one person's experience as fact.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
If anyone follows First Smoke of the Day, check out the episode with the guy that runs High Times. He addresses this amongst many other bro science things related to cannabis

Wow, she talks fast..I broke my pencil on the first question and by the time I’d sharpened it it was all over! 😵💫😂
Science > there's no difference between the two and we've been telling you this for years now but you wont listen and it's slowing down the progress of medical research

Best weed strain you’ve ever smoked?
Never knew the strain but I've been forever trying to find something that I smoked about the same era that had a lavender terp.
Lovely stuff, got it …

Best weed strain you’ve ever smoked?
Hey biggies, what’s the best strain you’ve ever smoked? I’d have to say mine is either some Apple Haze I smoked back in Amsterdam or Blue Zushi from cali 🤔
Damm this brings back some memories doing the same things with my mates how things have changed 🤷♂️
4 ways on a teenth was not uncommon in NW2 in 1998.
Some lame hash with dog hairs in it from the local hippie-🤣🤣.
Those WERE the days ay.

Totally agree! Pure Banger! Light green color with a strong beer smell! Kept an eye open for it, never to be found!
I don’t know if it’s the best, but my favourite strain is Sour Diesel. I’ve been a fan since I tried the East Coast cut that Grey Area used to sell in Amsterdam. Some of the best tasting weed I’ve ever had.
Yes I remember that sour diesel from the grey area 👍😂😉also the New York city Diesel from Abraxsas.that was a nice smoke.i drove to Amsterdam that year 2006 if i recall world cup time..I smuggled 6 grams of that back 🥴.and made it through ha ha 🤣.those were the days 😉
For me it has to be some Bruce Banner #3 from 1e hulp in the dam all the way back in 2017. I've never been able to recapture that one. It was a skunky, kind of gassy & fruity type all rolled into one with such a unique flavour profile to finish. The high was second to none. Wiped me right out. Left me looking at the world with my eyes so bulged they were basically closed. They say you'll never recapture that first high, this one took me above and beyond.
For sure! It flew under the radar quite a bit and I think it's unique musk and it's face melting is why.
I’ve only had this once but it was beautiful.
Tasted like Afghan black hash, made me very happy for about 30 minutes then sent me to bed.
Same with you?

My favourite strain ever was back in 2004 and called MMG “Martian Mean Green” from DNA, I managed to get a few beautiful phenos from a pack of reg seeds
It was the ultimate strain and I’ve never seen or smelt anything like it since then ❤️

Absolutely loved that strain. I remember queuing for a long time as I was there for the cannabis cup (2006). Grey Area’s queue was ridiculous on a normal day!
A very special strain which I haven’t seen since unfortunately.
Would love to see someone give that a go and bring it back.

Purple Haze back in 2008. Smelt and tasted like lavender. Haven’t had anything quite like it since then.
Man I used to get some banging street weed back around those times. Northern Lights, White Widow and good ole Cheese were the norm.

got an oz like that in the late 90's, had the potent lavender smell and taste. think it was a bit on the indica pheno side. very dark purple and when you snapped the buds in half the core was almost black. amazing bag appeal. really strong and tasty stuff too
Gelonade I had a lovely batch a few years ago off the dw never tasted gelonade like it since and can’t even remember who the seller was called
recently went to albania, fuck knows what it was but it was something mint related.... they albanians know how to grow haha
the world would be a better place without albanians, when it comes to weed. that much is certain.
Some sweet tooth from Barney's in Dam. Some of the "Ice" a local strain I smoked in Jamaica.
Barry Bonds from ULC on here

Honourable mentions to the Hawaiian Haze at Katsu in Dam too.
Had serious difficulties negotiating everyday tasks after that.

ESB - extra special bud , Old times #2 and S4 - Skunk 4 ways. S4 by far was the best I have ever had even to this day sadly it was a special made breed so will never have the oppurtunity to try it again :(
If you grow both those strains are available mate.
They're both OLDTIMER1 strains who sadly is no longer with us but some good fellows have taken up the mantle of his strains...people like buddelaire from fleur de mal seeds

Still got a couple of Oldtimes seeds in the fridge I think, probably no good after all these years?
You would be surprised.
People have germinated seeds found in Egyptian tombs thousands of years old.

Super Lemon Haze from the original Greenhouse Coffeeshop in Amsterdam :)
Also Arjans Strawberry Haze is right there with it, properly grown in soil for pure taste, can't beat the sweet berry on the exhale!

I absolutely love blue cheese. So tasty and so strong. I used to get an oz every week off my plug back in the day. Couldn't get enough of it. Got it recently in the dam too at Greenhouse effect. Was just like how I remembered it.
Yeah man, the real blue cheese was so pungant, it don't matter if it was wrapped in 3 layers, you could still smell that shit. it's just not same nowadays! :(
Yea you know if your saying that. A taste of more off it. The stuff I got in the dam was really nice but nothing like years back.
1995 Northern Lights
2023 FBC (from Druids Magic)
The two best strains/grows I’ve ever smoked. By far.

Oreoz from super Hans back in lockdown. Most expensive bud I've bought but it literally tasted of chocolate biscuits. It was heaven.
Special Olympics, a sativa strain from a Canadian MOM, Zippy about 16 years ago. One that will never be forgotten.
Flowerbomb kush from the greenhouse Amsterdam in the late 2000’s I think it was Green crack x OG kush
Biggest hit I ever had was with hash - nepalese temple ball in around 1979.
I'd love to meet that again, might have been laced with opium.
Sorry its not weed.

I would like to get a top top shelf version to get down with.
Imagine the hash you’d get from that aswell🤯💯❤️❤️

Had a few, NY Diesel and Fruity Pebbles from Gray Area in Amsterdam back in 2016/17ish.
But about a year ago managed to get hold of Plum Mochi by Ted Budz, which ended up with me tripping over with a drink in my hand, laughing at myself uncontrollably. It was beautiful. I haven't been able to get my hands on it again since and it breaks my heart.

buyed some weed in the dam in 2009 ish that made me space out totally, was strongest stone ever. i felt like i was on a different planet. was fun but a bit scary. cant remember the name but was sooooo strong i just walked around in circles for hours
bulldogs gorilla zkitles also strong but not quite as heavy as the dam stuff. down to my last gram or two wish i had more.

Gotta be some LA Confidental I got from Dam, Grey Area back in 2010 now 😫 and Chocolope when I saw it.
as of recently Sassy (LB) with Eleven Roses that was nice.
I think a lot of these newer strains get abit lost/too mixed

i was going to the dam around that time and also had some of the LA confidential it was crazy strong and very dank tasting. it was one of the best we tried that trip, those grey mist crystals from grey area were something else too!
For me, it has to be Durban Poison. Had a great batch recently and gave me the best europhic buzz. Close 2nd to Mimosa Evo and Alien Dawg third
Blue Cheese, back in the day - nothing like it used to be now….
Recently I’d have to say
black cherry gelato

Dr Grinspoon over in amsterdam when it was a new strain, 100% sativa, the head high and body tingles i got i will never forget.
Jack heera or white widow early 90s home grown. Most recently mango Kush at a club in Spain.
I would smoke anything to be honest. It’s all about the cost nowadays.

I have found that it's more to do with phenotypes and how they are grown. I've sampled different grows of the same strain and found the effects to differ with each one. Some of these grows have been some of the nicest in effects and then others of the same strain completely lack what was so nice about them.
*** Whatever *** Diesel.
Colombian Gold
Durban Poison
Skunk #1 - and anything that made
Arjan’s OG Hazes
Skittles - and all of the things it has made
Anything Mendo Purps, Grandaddy Purps, Trainwreck,
Dogshit, that kinda thing. Norcal staples.
*** whatever *** OG Kush
*** whatever *** Dawg
Although OG Chemdog.

I'm running around still chasing this Alien Dawg from a few months back, some of the hash in Amsterdam is just mental man
Mine is probably some jungle cake, Mac or boss og, all of them I got from here. Such great strains. Even chemdawg and uk cheese are up there too.
2018 Cali X Zkittlez, nothing else has ever came near and I wish I kept more for myself
The best strain I've ever smoked was Skywalker OG about 5 years ago. It was my first time smoking a strain I knew the name of and it was every bit as good as I thought it would be. I wish I could go back and get Zs off them
It's a toss up between bubba kush and amnesia haze for me. Had some bubba for the first time a few months back and it was a gorgeous body high. Delicious body rushes from it. Bought some again recently but doesn't have the same quality of effects unfortunately. Maybe because of different phenotypes 🤷🏻♂️.
Amnesia haze almost always gets me to a place of euphoria that's unmatched by other strains. Would love to find a strain that's more euphoric but out of the roughly 20 strains I've tried so far nothing has been more uplifting than ami.

As far as dominant sativa’s goes,I’ve always had a smile when bopping home with a bit of Amnesia in my sky.
I'd go with either MAC by citizen stash or wedding crasher by BLKMRT both outstanding. I also had a bit of alien sin mint cookies by BLKT, I kid you not the bud was bluish instead of purple, all these strains were from a couple years ago when I was living in Canada.

Smoking weed in a flat
As others have said. Best solution is what growers do and suck the air through a carbon filter.
Rhino make great filters. You’ll need a fan and filt…
Smoking weed in a flat
Ok I’ll try and cut a long story short. I’ve been living in a semi detached house for about 6 years. I’m a daily smoker, I’m disabled and I have been using weed to manage my pain for about the past ten years. I have never had an issue with any neighbours complaining or anything like that. Recently my landlord sold my house and I was served an eviction notice and due to my disability the council agreed to house me and got me a flat in my local area. I have never lived in a flat before and I’m quite worried about the neighbours complaining about me smoking weed. ( they are mostly elderly and disabled people) my local housing authority that has housed me has a zero tolerance policy about any drug use and I really don’t want any complaints against me. I have switched to vapes for the time being to reduce the smell. but I really prefer joints and it doesn’t feel the same to me. I usually smoke just pure flower joints. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions? Am I just being paranoid? Any advice is welcome thank you biggas ❤️
I had the same problem mate. I tried a prescription but the costs were ridiculous and i cancelled after a couple of months
that being said it did provide documentation stating i was legally permitted to use cannabis.
I sent the details to tower hamlets housing, and actually just told my neighbours i had a prescription, and just never told them when i cancelled it.
If you’re proactive about it there’s little they can do.
I still smoke a bong in the flat from time to time, but mostly use a dry herb vape with the window open and there are no issues with smell.
Best of luck! Remember the system is wrong, not you!

Hello there,
If it hasn't been mentioned already, try to get a script. There are plenty of places about that would help you, generally for a £50 or so consultation fee. They will assess your need, these weed places have their own doctors so it will probs be a video call. If you get accepted, buy some weed off them so you get a bag with a prescription stuck to it... Then I guess you refil the bag with whatever you want. One place that springs to mind is curaleaf

Get a filter that sucks up all the air in the room and an outlet pipe which connects or hangs off your window so the air that gets sucked from the inside get pulls straight out the gaff!
Your welcome
Your welcome
Hi, apologies if this is an old post. I'm in a similar situation.
A few months back I bought a purifier listed on Amazon as 'PureMate Smart Air Purifier with Ioniser mode, Air Quality Monitor, Display Off, Air Filter', cost about £120 with extra filters being £25ish, I think. That made a big difference though it's already not as good as it was when I first had it - it maybe just needs a new filter (or the old one hoovering!) There are smaller, cheaper versions but I can't comment on how good they are. I got one after seeing a similar post from bigga BBDoom. You probably don't need one with the ioniser or UV light, etc, they don't seem to make much difference? It makes a big difference to have it running while smoking but it's definitely not as 'quiet' as advertised - it also helps (to a lesser extent) if you just run it for a couple of hours after you've gone to bed.
Another thing that might help is to get yourself a good oil diffuser and have a few drops of oil in it that'll help mask the smell - PurEssential makes an oil that helps with smoke odours, and there are similar room sprays that supposedly do the same thing. Lots of stuff online about different diffuser oils that can help to hide smoke smells, etc. In my experience, people notice how 'nice' the room smells rather than anything else 😉😂. We've come a long way from burning some stinky incense (often bad for your breathing) and thinking it does anything other than obviously highlighting that you're trying to cover up a weed smell! Ahhh, the ignorance of my teenage youth! 😂
I've also seen some good smell-proof bags recently (but can't remember what they're called), everything from pencil case to rucksack size - available from Amazon (though I'd caution about having weed-related items in your Amazon history). They'll help reduce the smell if you can be arsed to keep taking everything in and out of it.
Finally, regardless of how 'clear' you think your room smells, get a non-smoking friend in to give you their opinion! You just don't notice the smell as much in your own home if you're constantly around it.
Please let us know if you find something that works well for you. Good luck! 👍

Diffusers whilst smoking will really mess up the air quality, you will have bud smell mixed with lovely oils which will really stench up a place. Your best bet is the filter which sucks the air with the duct connected to your window as the outlet(air output)… Do this and thank me later!
Yep, I didn't mean smoking whilst the diffuser's running - I run the purifier whilst (or after) smoking, and run the diffuser when not smoking (overnight or in the morning). Thanks for the clarification PE 👍. I'm interested in a filter ducting out the window but, when I see that, I always assume there's a grow happening, and I'd be worried that others would think the same.
If people have a similar setup for non-weed reasons, what is it actually for (ie what would you say it's for if someone asked)? I'd be very interested in this if I could see a setup that didn't look dodgy - is there anything you can link to I can have a look at? Appreciated, cheers 👍

A fan and filter setup would work best. You can sit it on a table and use it without ducting if need be, on a recycle mode if you will. Any smoke/air going through will get treated. Added bonus, all smoke/air will gravitate towards the filter, so none escapes out the door.
Thanks for replying, Harry 👍. Do you know if there's anything good that runs quietly? If you can recommend anything or link to something I'd really appreciate it. Cheers 👍
Look up carbon filters its just the same fan and filter you use in a grow,id suggest rhino carbon.filter there good and diff sizes,the smell sticks to the carbon and they do work mate
Cheers James 👍 Others have recommended Rhino products too. They're a bit pricey for me atm but it looks like they're the way to go. Thanks 👍
Not an expert on this subject but I would suggest getting a medical prescription, not for the access to flower etc but more just as some form of protection from draconian council policies. Looks quite bad on them evicting someone who has a legitimate medical reason to use
There are things you can try but nothing smells more than a joint unfortunately. You could try a sploofy, or get a fan and cover it with those scented dry cleaner sheets, or a combo. Better yet might be to consider using you favourite weed in some brownies. But I agree with nesto that if you have some kind of medical note/ prescription that might cover you. Otherwise pray for windy rainy nights where you can smoke it out of your window. I moved to vaping a while back, ULC and dr Terpy are good for distillate, and people who vape swear by live resin vapes, they cost a little more but the high on those is supposedly closer to a joint high, try sensi-mart for that perhaps, people love their live resin stuff. One day I will try this myself no doubt
In my experience, if you're smoking inside regularly somebody is bound to complain sooner or later. You'd be better off switching to dry herb vaping, what one did you buy? I could never get into it until I bought a high-end vape, took a week or so to get used to it but since then I haven't smoked in years. Far, far stealthier.
As others have said. Best solution is what growers do and suck the air through a carbon filter.
Rhino make great filters. You’ll need a fan and filter that can handle the volume of air in the room.

carbon filter and fan , you can get fans that are voltage controlled so it will be more quiet, i run a mini 6inch in my smoke room, was better with the larger one but next door is a weed farm so i can slack off
Plug in ozone generator left on timer near front door is a great last line of protection. Yes,I know they aren’t great for your health,but so is being homeless.
I’m suprised how few people are aware of these bits of kit.
You can even get them for your car.
They are super effective and start at £20.

I used to be in a very similar situation.
I bought an air purifyer and an activated carbon air filter, about £150 all in.
I can smoke a joint in my living room with both of these on and the smell is gone in half an hour and nobody outside knows any better

Moving it stressful as balls, so we completely understand where you are coming from. In my experience, so long as you aren't a neighbour from hell, most people probably won't care. I live in a shitty flat, and you are very much at the mercy of your immediate neighbours. You might find a single-dweller (who doesn't generally disturb the peace) gets a lot of leeway.
Besides, even if they did complain, the council likely has better things to worry about. I'm not saying the risk isn't there, but moreso that the gaps between 'neighbour disapproves', 'neighbour complains', and 'you get turfed out' are bigger than they seem.
The one thing that might tick them off is if you stink out the place. So, as already said here, odor absorbers/removers could give you some peace of mind.

So, smell reduction. Maybe block the bottom of the external flat door, and also the door of the room you smoke in to prevent random diffusion.
Currently I'm using a Levoit Core 300S air purifier and that thing is being worked ludicrously hard. Seems to work at minimising odor along with copious sprays of Febreeze (those cans don't last long!), but there's still a residual smell that you'd have to sort out if people who didn't like that smell called over.
The company that Chasin'Orange mentioned but couldn't remember is Stashic. Also available from them, and from other retailers than the ubiquitous one. The rucksack is very roomy, but I haven't tested it in the wild for its odor dampening qualities.

'Stashic' is the company I meant, thank you MightyRux 👍. I did also see versions without their logo on it that looked exactly the same so, with the Stashic, you might just be paying extra for their logo, I don't know. And I totally agree RE blocking the bottom of doors 👍.
When I used to smoke js the smoke buddy made a big difference

Good recommendation with the Smoke Buddy as a quick fix
Just be prepared for the yellow nicotine stain around your lips after a long session 😮💨
I’ll add, my neighbours hate me .. even more so when summer arrives ☀️ 😂 good luck🍻

Been hoping to see an update on your page.
Got my fingers crossed for you pal.
Was kicking myself that I missed out on a reload of that GMO isolater. That was crazy terpy and strong.

Favourite coffeeshop in Dam
I'm more interested in the hash than the cali pack type stuff.
Last time I was out, I hung out in Siberie, Katsu, Kashmir, Coffeeshop Amsterdam.
If…
Favourite coffeeshop in Dam
Like in topic, give me your best picks, my fav is definitely 420cafe, excellent parvati cream they have <3
Cheers!
Cheers!
Its been a few years since i have been but the best shops last time were MrK&co and family first and also I had a great time in Reefer - they had some fire dutch and import. for me its more about the atmosphere - I am a chilled stoner and cant stand the ultra busy and loud shops.
Katsu, Mr K, Family First, Bagheera, Bluebird. That's probably my current top 5. I was last there in December.
Probably my favourite Coffeeshop if I had to choose one. You can always rely on Solo’s quality, especially their hash.
I love 1eHulp, for quality of product and a nice place too, a bit of a walk out of the centre but worth it
1eHulp ('First Aid') is a great choice, and not the only good reason for walking out of the centre, it's in a cool part of town. All the best bits of the Dam lie beyond the Prinsengracht. Flower Power round the corner on the Rozengracht is my fave, I discovered Manala Cream in there. Yum!
Haven’t been for a while but bush doctor used to have great products and a nice outdoor space.
Bush doctor was always my goto. Early 2000s tried nyc sour diesel there for the first time. Great coffee shop
Bush doctor was family firsts dad I believe. See family first on fsotd podcast mention it
Ah used to love the Future and Fancy Free but alas they are both gone, Prix D'Ami purely for the fact you can score a smoke and then shoot some pool
Loved Prix D’Ami, pitch black other than pool table lights and the occasional glow of a toke.
It's been a least 12 years since I've been, homegrown fantasy was always a favourite,abraxas,grey area and Barney's,la cana pool hall was always a good shout.
Kashmir lounge.. by far the best coffee shop.. check out the lounge..best hash collection..near the moroccan area.. you will love it
I always used to love the Bluebird but haven't been for 30 years. Nice to see it's still going.

If you're after good bud, 1ehulp or borejorgens.

been twice this year, babas coffee shop was my personal favourite, good price dutch, great seating and a ball vape ready for you to use if you would like at no extra cost. It’s not in central (15 min bus from station) but i also absolutely love basjoes if you’re lucky enough to sit in the booth.
I like to buy my stuff in the popular ones (Terps army, Family first,grey area ect) then sit in the less popular/places & you can get food in some. Like hillstreetbooze. Bulldog lounge, La grotte. This is a great method tried and tested there’s a few others but I can’t remember the names ect.
visited a few now but I like yanks in zandvoort... its very realxed and the budtenders are sound..... sometimes found the ones the dam to be quite wanky at times lol
Hill street blues for the different music every day and the vibe
Home grown fantasy, slightly off the beaten track but with Power Plant :)

Sounds like the worst advice ever. Just got back last night and the stand out shops are Green place, Terps army, The Plug and Family First.
Bulldogs along with Smokey's are 2 of the shittest coffee shops in Amsterdam, 2 of the best are 1E Hulp and Green Place
