For those with a lack of space,experience or privacy these are a very good option. And its a UK seeds name, support the UK genetics ladies and gentlemen.

Getting good Jamaican High Grade or good quality Thai is an option, but for that you need hood links in London - and like you beejun, I am also a Londoner...
We know the situation living here in this city - the police have reclassified shit and caught a lot of growers in the capital. Growing now is riskier than its probably ever been here, I do see your point... Which is why I said - If he had the balls he should grow, ... coincidentally, I've saved enough to go to Amsterdam for the 420... 3rd trip in as many months now, and I've managed to get green in the UK bar one time this year - I went through a three day drought lol... But Amsterdam is a great option in my opinion - if you've got the dough. (this time I'm on a budget)
arh but what do u call a budget???
my 3 daz in da haze is a budget of 450 + hostel n food!
Edit: n b 4 u ask 450 is euro or pounds seen as there one and the same at the mo!!!!
Budget meaning - with 2 days to go now - before I land in Dam, I have yet to work out how and where the money is to come from...
Soundsr dire doesn't it? However, I said the same thing everytime I went Dam - and somehow always had a lil left over for souvenirs like umbrellas/hats and t-shirts...
I dunno - I guess telling yself I have to be on budget is a way of keeping myself in check! Its easy to get carried away in coffeeshops.
RE: the pond/euro rate - its been like that since I went in January this year - sucks big mate!

Buy some spice
if you've not heard of it, it's a legal smoking mix. But it does actually work & will get you nicely baked. Use a bong though, it's shit in a joint. That will tide you over until a new supply is found.

Grew out some BigBuddha Cheese last year, awesome taste, flavour and indica stone - didnt know I was blasted till I tried to do something - which is when the Indica traits were suddnenly all too apparent...
As for growing british genetics? I agree - a lot of top breeders are here in the UK, and if you know the scene - Quality genetics can be gathered...
Supporting British Seed Companies - though is a difficult one, they'll make all the money, but how much of it actually goes to the fight against decriminalization in this country?
Stats have yet to prove themselves worthy... But if I get the opportunity to grow again, I would do what I always do - grow enough for myself... the genetics will always be different, as variety is the spice of life.
But those autoflowering dwarfs - a little like the lowrider plants... very good for a stealthy grow I'm told...

Because the exchange rate has risen to 1.10 (ish) from 1 since I booked the trip it means I have an extra €50 to spend, if the mrs wasn't with me that would be spent on a s&f in the rld.

Now I'm wondering what kinda rate I'll be getting in the morning. I've been way too complacent regarding getting currency exchanged...

I'm another one suffering from a drought and sitting here gasping for a spliff. For a variety of reasons it's not feasible for me to grow my own. Oh how I wish I was in Dam
I had to give up for a while because of work but have started to use a little again every couple of months or so. I find it amazing that it's easier for me to score in the USA than it is in UK where there used to be so much around.
