i agree some of the prices are a bit high for certain weeds and very high for bubbles/icolater in amsterdam. but shoot im on vacation so its no big deal. unlike you guys in the uk and continental europe americans like me amsterdam is a bit bigger of a deal. it costs me like $500 r/t for a plane ticket..and others from 750 or so to over 1000 r/t. also the flight is anywhere from 10 hrs on the west coast (if you live in alaska or hawaii your looking at 13 to 15 hrs flight time) to 7 or so hrs on the east coast. so for people in north america like me who get to go to amsterdam once maybe twice a year at most the prices aren't as big a deal. speaking for myself anyway. when iv saved up and put up all the effort to get there i wanna go all out(granted i dont buy 5 grams of terminator or anything like that). so its different for you guys in the uk who only have to fly an hr and pay like 80 dollars r/t and get to go to amsterdam multiple times a year. not saying it wouldn't be nice for the prices to go down a bit though. just my 2 cents/p.

yea sitting on a plane for that long is no fun. listening to your ipod/having a few drinks and watching films on the laptop or on the screen the airline provides makes it more tolerable. as does dreaming about amsterdam haha.

I struggle with the wait from here, I'm guessing its about 4 hours from leaving my house to sitting in a coffeeshop.

Its on our list.
How could you not those pics are amazing.
Flying out tomorrow....... nearly today heyhey.
It's been hard week we lost our lovely fella of a dog, we had to put him to sleep. He ws with my fiance for 13 yrs and he ws 16.
Then today, my first official day of leave... i recd a letter saying one of our funders have not given vast amount of money promised (blooming govt) so we could be facing job losses. (highly likely).
So it's off to the Dam to forget about it.
Magic Lady is devastated. Bless.
I'm holding up but here we go EQ St.

I liked the equatorial so much, I dropped another 20 euro on a nifty hand pulled GA shirt. In grey come to think of it.

I think I'll put it on.

Wanna save cash? Be smug with that extra couple of euro you 'saved'? Grow yer own, I can guarantee you'll save lots and lots of money

Well said! I feel the same way, after $600 and 6 1/2 hrs. on a plane (from NYC) what the hell is 17euro. Even if i lived in the UK i would have to try it at least once.

ok guys, after testing this a few times at home, I can tell this much:
+ it is a Sativa, and a strong one as well
- the taste isnt as strong

the high is nothing you couldnt achieve by smoking a big fat joint of some imported Sativa.

You can buy it once to try, but its the same as with ice-o-lators, I wouldnt bother buying it everytime. I am going to buy a g of that for sure next time, but thats because I liked it and if I like something I buy it. BUT I am not going to spend hundrends of €s on this, as its just not worth the 16,5€ (of course growing a sativa indoors is harder, but its not impossible

)

im gonna say it once...its NOT hard to grow a sativa indoors at all...stop agreeinging with a myth,,think about it,,if they say its hard to grow they can charge more,,,get it?...it was simple bar graphs and crayons that brought me to this point...cause i know and the bong told me

I know what you`re up to bonglord, what I meant by "harder" was that you cannot let it grow "on its own", you have to cut it, or bind it down or something, its not difficult, its just one step more than with plants that dont grow that tall.....sorry if I am wrong here, but we only do outdoor-growing so I cant say for sure.
I am on par with all you saying its too expensive....it indeed is! BUT its not of bad quality as well, its a very nice high.

A lot of sativa growers just put the plants into the flowering cycle quicker (some do it straight from seed) which means it doesn't have to be tied down or anything.

yea, I didnt think about that, but thats possible as well.

The main issue with growing a pure sativa is the height issue.. Pure equatorial sativas can grow 20-25 feet tall, that's why it's so hard to grow them. They take time and effort and space which most growers in Holland won't go near, hence why there is only one group supplying this particular plant.

This is not a sativa like the normal sativa's you buy, which all look like indica's these days anyway, it is so stringy. The stem is less than 1mm thick, and lately, in Bluebird, Barney's and Grey Area, the weed has been sold without stems. I prefer with the stems, look at them under a microscope and you'll see why. With the stems it was the highest I have ever been, without the stems, it just doesn't seem to be as strong and clear.

I think you got me wrong. I KNOW those facts, and I am always the one to tell people "why dont you go to the dealer and tell him its shit? if everyone does it will change!". that is not going to happen with a coffeeshop, because they dont listen too much what the customers say to the dealer. Like I already said, I have the same opinion as Boner and you when it comes to prices, BUT I would advise everyone to TRY it, like I tell everyone to try the ice-o-lator, because you will never know if you like it or not if you dont try.
You get the point? MAKE YOUR OWN OPINION
