    It'll do fine outside as long as it gets pass the slugs & rabbits. It needs to go short of water to produce the resin, yes, femails produce more, which is why they are favoured by growers. But a male will produce resin too, they do it to stop dehydration.

    When I was a teenager, one of my mates who everyone thought was a drug dealer but was actually squeaky clean, got sick of being asked by chavs if they could buy anything off him, so he sold them some dried out leaves off his dad's tomato plants. Apparently the chavs came back for more:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

      Cannabis sativa.. ahh yes the one that randomnly pops up on roadside verges - makes you wonder how many growers there are out there on the secret! MY friends dad used to grow these, for his use.. they got fairly big.

      Only problem is, that you know it's there because you can smell it from a mile away!

        The news wires love these stories, eh?!!

        I remember, in my "youth", a story about an elderly woman who had thrown the spent seed from her caged Parrot out onto the flower bed ... and up popped a Cannabis plant (and she had no idea what it was ...)

        I predict that in 40 years the news will be that ... :)

        Doesn't quite add up.

        1.If you were a petty criminal would you offer plants for sale in a public place like a car boot sale? After all, the plod takes no interest in what goes on at these.......

        2.If you were the local police would you want to tell the world how easy it is to cultivate cannabis in your own garden?

        Conclusion: The sweet, innocent elderly couple knew exactly what they were doing and had a ready prepared smokescreen, erm, as it were.

        Fabulous decorative foliage anyway, I'll be trying that when I retire. Wonder if it gets Autumn colour?

        I believe you can smoke the foliage, isn't that what grass is? But it doesn't have the same hit as resin, especially the peely-wally English-grown stuff. But I'm no expert.

            Right,

            checklist;

            - Cannabis plant
            - Growlights
            - An easy-go Jamaican attitude
            - An alibi

                Well last summer a bloke further down my road had a plant growing on the sunny side of a 6ft fence, I think he kind of thought nobody would see it, he forgot about the upstairs windows.:biggrin:

                Anyway it was still out there growing away merrily in september/ october, by November it was mush, I assumed it never reached maturity even though by that time it was nearly at the top of the fence.

                Back in my mis-spent youth, what I heard 'other people' did was to give hash plants to their grandparents, or simply sow them in their gardens, as their own parents were keeping an eagle eye out for them.

                I've 'heard' that if you leave it in your kitchen drawer long enough (because you don't/haven't use/used it in many, many years and simply forgot it was still there) and a mouse got up there and ate it, it would be the end of both your stash + mouse.

                Wow so many expert , should we have a competion next year?
                the old couple didn`t smoke or sold it , it seam like a genuine mistake ,
                Yes when i had bird many plants where coming out of the seeds .

                Pete , there is a female and male plants the one you want is the female.

                look at this picture I took last month (not in UK) , there must be kilos of it , but they are simple use as decorative plants and if you run out of tabacco .....
