Hey G.A
Got a quick question for ya:
which one of the cannaembassy strains stays the lowest (heigtwise) for an outdoor balcony grow? also, how inconspicious (niet merkbaar, onopvallend) would the scent/smell be?

He guys,
Browser I didn't do anything with the main staik...
Low,'in your case it's the size pot that matters, not the seed.
Looks like Science Fiction, but this seedbank has opened today...
Genetic back up for "the day after".
Very Impressive.

Hi Gelowas,
Good to see you bro... thnx.
The street in front of the Canna Embassy is getting more shape and form every day now.
Since september they already work on the road.
Before 25.000 cars a day were passing by. It will be 50% less if the road is ready.
Someone asked before abouth the polution.
The plants love CO2.... lol.
The biggest problem is not the CO2, but the so called "fine dust".
But this fine dust is hanging like a blanket all over Europe and not only over my street. Ofcourse the concentration is higher in the cities.
Bigger walking areas and a redish bike roads they just finished today...
They created also spaces for trees.
The road has been closed down since one month now and they need one more month to finish.
You can feel the pressure on the constructionworkers, because the road needs to be rady at the end of march.
They work on the road from 6 am in the morning till 9 pm at night.. Cars, trucks, cranes and steamrollers are driving on and off...
The concrete jungle....
Today was sunny. I move the little sprouts around at the terrace to let them catch as much as sunlight possible...
It's still a little "cool" outside. It's 10 degrees by day and 4 degrees at night.
After sunset I bring them inside and put them under a light tube, to keep them warm and enough light to keep on growing.
The coming days the temperature is rising to 13 degrees by day and 6/7 degrees by night.
I hope spring will come early and that it will not be a "moldïe" summer this year.
Last year was a very wet and windy summer with a lot of changes in temperature. Some plants were preflowering twice last year!!
But those 2 little babies are doïng fine and will probably survive.
I bought some nice Amnesia Haze this afternoon at my favorite smokeshop.
I love the Hazes and Sativas.

Not arguing your statement, but I'd just like to add that the strain can be of some importance too sometimes. I've had bad experiences with plants that were grown early in the season, but went into flower rather late. In this example your plants will start to get really limited in their growth as the season comes along and by the time they're about to finish they'll have lost quite some vigour due to their limited pot size. I'm talking sativas here, but since the Purple Peace should flower early in the season I take it this won't be a problem at all. Small pots are good to limit plant growth as a rule of thumb, but I think you should reconsider it when growing sativas outside. Or sprout the seeds later in the season or start early and blind them to induce flowering earlier.G.A. said:
Hi guys,
Did I miss something?.... lol
Looks like spring Alijah, beautifull shots..
Esben, nice trichome shot.
I was in my favorite smokeshop this afternoon and there is a very good microscope.
Looks almost like shooting from the inside of the flower... lol
This one looks like it's made under water...
MS you're right, but in the beginning I was so lost in the forest of information that I even didn't start to grow my own, worried that the seeds I bought weren't the right one, the fertilizer was not good, the temperature was too low, and so on...
Ofcourse you got early flowering strains, late flowering strains and some are a little larger then the other, but the basic to the size of the plants is at the first place the size of the pot.
And the kind of strain someone likes depends on their own preferences and Those are personal matters.
The strain I love the most myself (Purple Peace) I came across after 10 years of growing.
Growing Cannabis is a process, you will grow yourself with the process...
I just moved the 2 little babies inside, because as soon it's getting dark the temperature is goïng down very fast.
I moved them to the guestroom under the light for the night.
As soon I go to bed I switch of the light.
We had the song for the day already.
This is a very nice clip for the night made on Michael Franti his "Ganja Babe".

So true... Strange how growing cannabis learns you to know the plants, but also learns you about yourself.G.A. said:
I should add that I tried to limit growth intentially on those sativas by not giving them any more than 3 litre pots. Plus I started with them in 1 litre pots early in the season and I did not blind them at any moment, so I was asking for trouble actually. I learnt mostly about myself that time.
Talking about Mas Science... lol
If you like to learn how to grow Cannabis you can also go to study at the Oakland university... lol

Hello all,
Great pics!
Feels a bit cold to me still, but I can't wait for the outdoor season! 
I actually got the link to that univ sent to me just a few days ago, lol... If interested, check http://www.oaksterdamuniversity.com Courses seem pretty basic tho.
It actually got me wondering if there's some sort of standarized training/certification for coffeeshop personnel in the NL?
Mad Sci, how was your experience with the Sat's outdoors at these latitudes? I remember you where growing something last year? As you and GA say, growing teaches you a lot, so many ways to do it, so many things to learn, so many strains to try! I'm planning to run an experiment with short/medium flowering (length) sat's, hopefully start some selections.
GA, air pollution in Europe is a serious prob. My lungs feel it when I'm away for long. Places like Athens and Mexico DF are good examples of what could happen elsewhere (their geography ain't helping neither).
Reading that got me thinking if pot grown in urban environments (outdoors) would have higher levels of lead and other heavy metals? It's a known fact that canna acts as a heavy metal cleaner, but does anyone knows if these metals can be found in the flowers too? I'm thinking about soil contamination here, more than air cont.
Well, that's for now, more next time.
Greetz, B

Hello world,
Thnx for sharing Browser.
In 2004 there was a big Legalize parade in Amsterdam.
I just made a short "rough" edit of the shots that were taken.
It's just a short impression.
I uploeded the clip to my webalbum at photobucket.
I got many more albums overthere with all kind of pictures and some videos..
This is the link to the clip:

Legalize it!!
Peace, G.A.

Hello G.A. and all,
wow the thread goes very fast!
by the way, there was en exhibition on industrial hemp and Cannabis prohibition last week in the Parliament, interesting..
And look here what 3 MEP are proposing!
A Written Declaration is valid only if it is signed by the majority of MEP.
Fortunately they only have 22 signatures (out of 785) and will not get much more...
They are from the Vlaams Belang (Nationalist Flemish party).
Greetings everybody

I guess there is a lot of pressure on the Major of Maastricht...

"in order that Belgian and French citizens may be supplied unhindered and in huge quantities with drugs" LOL
If only...
These policy makers haven't been doing their rounds lately. Not only you're limited to 5 grams max, but they'll rip you off if they have the chance, and give you less 
Unhindered? You know how difficult it's to find parking or reasonably priced decent weed? 
C'on, if there's SO many people coming from abroad, maybe they should start opening cshops at home, no? At least decreminalize indoor grows for personal use (5-8 plants). How much CO2 and ilegal activity can be decreased that way? Where do I sign for such a petition?
Just some ranting thoughts... Thanks for the info Pablo :wink:

Hi Pablow,
Yip, before it was still a matter of Dutch politics and it's becoming more and more a European issue at the moment and the USA (still, go Obama... lol) "breathing in the neck.
Mr. Leers (major Maastricht) initiator to license the shops and bring them together closer to the border, wants to keep the "drugstourists" (4.000 a day in Maastricht) closer to home and away from the inner city of Maastricht.
It's the story of "the chicken and the egg".
Leers says "they" are the problem and "they" say "we" (the Dutch) are the problem.
In Amsterdam still a lot is goïng on and a lot of shop owners are keeping their breath at the moment....
Here in The Hague the city council likes to keep it the way as it is at the moment.
Not less coffeeshops, one owner just got his license back and re-opened, despite complains of the neighbourhood.
The situation here is the opposite of Maastricht.
Here the coffeeshops are concentrated in some neighbourhoods, while some parts of the city needs a coffeeshop and don't have one.
So, the aim of some parties at the city council of The Hague is to spread more.
Also to neighbourhoods where they need one.
For the moment here the situation in The Hague is relaxed.
But you are right, Mr. Leers has a "rough" time at the moment with his political opponents, but I hope he will get some support from the national and European politics.
His plan is just to keep the "drug tourists" closer to the border, but
there is a need for clearer national and European aproach from a totaly different point of view.
Browser I am lobbying the Dutch local and National politics already over 10 years now. I talked with national and local politicians.
They listen and agree with some of the ideas and issues, but they don't do anything with it, just because it's a "hot" issue, no party likes to burn their fingers on that!
But it can't go on like this either. Prices are rising and we'll have to keep an eye on the quality.
When I was 15 I thought Cannabis would be legal in 5 years...
35 years later I am still thinking that.... lol..
"Don't give up the "fight".
The Legalize clip is also at YouTube now.
The Photobucket version was cut off at the end....

Thanks for the flower Esben....
Yesterday it was still "war zone", today they finished asphalting the road in front of the Canna Embassy.
I realy respect those guys on their knees the whole day. It's realy craftsmanship.
I shared some seeds with one of the workers and smoked a joint after he was finished working.
Very soon the new trees will be brought in and we'll get new hanging lamps above the road.
Yesterday I opened the window and was a "private dj" for the guys working on the road.

Goodmorning world,
A new seedling popped up spontaneously.
This time it's a Purple Pincess X Purpurea Erdber cross.
I won't treat this one like the other 2.
I just leave the little baby outside at the terrace, knowing it's gonna be colder again in a couple of days.
Just like to find out if it survives by itself.
When it survives I will give this one away, because I like to grow 3 Purple Peace and 2 Green Ambassadors X Purpurea.
That's the tolerated amount of plants overhere.
People are mailing me asking when to start.
Just wait 2 or 3 more weeks with sprouting the seeds folks.
You can start growing from the end of march, untill the end of may.
So don't worry about beïng too late, just relax and wait a little more.
I know the feeling of spring coming makes the blood stream of the farmer faster... lol
Have a great weekend folks....
