This is what I've heard too.. bloody big piles of weed, dried as fast as poss, being turned over with forks etc.. no wonder it's so rank by the time people get hold of it
Interesting you heard the same from the horses mouth, so to speak.

That's a lot of moo-la (presuming a "box" is a LB, and not a Kilo), especially for what could be characterized as "shwag". Maybe that's including VAT? (LOL) I smell an "arbitrage opportunity" here, perhaps -- California "mids" or "meds" snuggled into the UK. (Since the "troubles" are over, how closely is the man looking at freighter traffic in the Channel?)
Ha, ha, LOL -- just a passing flight of fancy ...

I like how all these "facts" are being thrown around. How many of you are in these viet gangs and actually know what you're talking about? How can you assume exactly when all viet grown weed gets chopped? Not that it matters, I'm just asking.
Alls I have to say is that I'm super glad there's no moldy glassy weed in my part of the world. And around here it's the chinese triads that apparently run shit. Looks like they're doing it right
Ps if you ARE in the gang for the love of god don't come admit it here!!

If you want to piss off a Chinese accuse them of being Vietnamese

Thanks for updating me on the (UK) vernacular.
Thanks for updating me on the (UK) vernacular.
In spite of the Northern latitude and weather there in the UK, you folks have done some amazing grows -- IIRC that "Cheese" was a UK-developed strain that made it's way back to the Netherlands. Pretty nice strain, imho.
Most of your UK grows must be indoors, or else in greenhouses -- I spent 3 years there in the UK in my early youth (Stains & Slough), and I still remember the long cold winters 50 years later -- kerosine space heaters & coal fireplaces & heavy quilt comforters notwithstanding. Summers never lasted long enough there.
(Just my tuppence-worth.) Cheerio!

recently had a few 2000-3000 plant ops busted in liverpool area... mostly the viets and some other big scally commercial ops friggin pigs have gone for it before the cuts take toll.... though some where result of the bad weather damage buildings .... flukey pigs.......
Although I've also heard the same thing about them doing 6wks flowering instead of full term & putting it out on the UK streets, This grow looks like it has had quite a bit a love put in as well as money. I wouldn't be surprised as some else said I think earlier if this was a kick arse strain done well.

''You clearly don't get the uk scene that doesn't know about growing yet??? Some people are real shitty and others in the dark!! People need there eyes opening... ''

Firstly I have to apologize on behalf of all the B.C Growers from 20 years ago who taught the V.C how to grow weed and got them into the Biz.....
They destroyed the main market in Vancouver by growing crap strains and harvesting same strains early and selling them still wet......(Do any web search on Vietnamese/cannabis in Vancouver)
They got targeted so much in Vancouver/B.C that in the last 10 yrs they taught/moved their trade all over the world to where the locals had not seen it/were not looking for it
And , yes , they will scam,adulterate and max out the profit on every opportunity they can ;and yes they use slave/illegals to do their work(cheap)
But the day they learn to grow it well with a good strain is the day we will all have to give up growing for retail......
get used to them ,they will not be going away.

She stolen the electricity.They are honks!!
get rid of old garbage, folks! I still have "evidence" of my past harvests all over my house. All of it is going out TODAY.
Wait, so the biggest bust was 11,276 plants valued at £14m, but this 8,000 plant grow is valued at £2m? How are they getting these numbers?
I feel bad for the gardeners. They were probably making min wage and obviously insignificant in the grand scheme of things. This bust likely won't put much of a dent in the few on top who orchestrate these grows.

So I have a few questions about this grow after seeing the pictures...
How the heck were they hand watering them? It doesn't look like you can really get to a lot of them. How would you get close enough to do it unless you were moving them pot by pot in order to water. And what was the deal with the run-off? Did they just hose down the floor or something? I would think you would at least want some space between the pots and the floor...
Seems like a lot of work but I guess you can spare the time when you live there.
