Hi everyone,
I live in the UK and have been toking for @ 25 years now; way back then, you could score Lebanese hash that came in cloth covered, gouda cheese size wheels; yellow and red leb; slate style hash of various types, ranging from dry and sandy to green and sticky; pretty good Moroccan (Rocky ..remember that?!); sticky black hash from places like Pakistan and Afghanistan, with pretty, embossed gold leaf symbols, and gold seal or red seal, but you rarely came across weed; sometimes something fabled like Thai stick or random sensimilla would turn up with a back-packing friend, but that was about it.
Nowadays it's a lot more difficult, this market has been flooded with cheap, shitty, ultra-adulterated soap bar that is a crime against nature, and poorly cured, half-assed skunk. If you know a few people, then there are still some treats to be had, like some really nice-but-pricey oil, recently, and a fairly regular, secret supply of clean Morrocan style blond hash, grown and pressed by some enlightened people in Portugal. Oh well, Holland is only a couple of hours away, and I recently got back from Canada where we scored some of the nicest, tastiest buds that I have smoked in a long time.
Anyway, 25 years and I've only just got round (DOH!) to thinking about growing my own .. it's a plant for chrissakes! How difficult can it be?!
Why haven't I ever grown my own before?! 
It will be great to take myself out of the mainstream loop, supporting criminals who don't give a sh1t about quality .. damn! It's almost a moral obligation!!
Well, I am in the research stages at the moment, I have books and an empty closet and once I have finally decided on the method and got hold of some good seeds I will be ready to go, hopefully before xmas.
This site is great; I have been salivating over the amazing pictures of bubble hash, oils and buds and I am looking forward to contributing details of my forthcoming project, and future successes, hopefully!! I am sure that I will benefit gratefully from the sage advice of you seasoned horticulturalists, so thanks, in advance!
And that .. is me!
