The UK Growers Thread!

[The Yorkshireman]

Yorkshireman, there are more situations than "fire" that allow people into your house without a court warrant, if you were to give me your address, there are huge odds saying i could have a policeman knock your front door in by the morning, as has happened to myself on occasion. Also simply telling your landlord to bugger off after he's served written notice, well, you are most likely denying him reasonable entry, and he will goto court for an order and he will win

No,for a policeman to knock your door in he would have to have a warrant (they have to apply to a judge to get one),and the landlord as you say would need a court order (only for that scenario), niether of these things come without evidence/reasonable suspicion (maybe) of wrong doing. And niether of these things would get into the hands of anybody but the courts/police.
So landlord's and letting agent's still don't have the legal right to enter your property without permission.

 

[tip top toker]

There are situations where the police do not need a search warrant. I have been unfortunate enough to have this occur to me in the past, and all it took for them to obtain the power was a member of the public placing a phone call.

Correct in landlords not being able to enter without permission, but if they want to enter there is no way you can stop them, only delay it.

(if those bugs do any more damage THAT'S IT the whole garden is getting paved over little sods).

haha, i think i could imagine myself getting into a bug rage and flooding the place in concrete from a rented drivable mmixer haha.

 

[The Yorkshireman]

a landlord can only serve written notice if you refuse to leave after a tennancy has contractually ended (they do it automaticly when one is coming close to an end,they have to by law but they may agree to another tannancy) or he want's to live in the house himself,if he want's to sell it he has to wait untill the end of the contract. At no point is he entitled to "reasonable entry" while your the contracted tennant it's your house,this is partly to combat "Rachmanism" a slum landlord in Londan back in the day Peter Rachman used to exploit tennants and come round with the boys and turf you out when ever he wanted cos he was the owner (in a nutshell).

 

[The Yorkshireman]

There are no situations when police can come into your home without a warrant (unless you invite them in).
Whoever was on the end of that phone must have given enough information so that when presented to a judge the possibility of wrong doing was beyond reasonable doubt.
It sounds like you got grassed up.

you know those american DIY hydroponics guides that claim to be able to buy everything in walmart for 'a couple of bucks'

well i thought i'd give it a go with good old B&Q and other overpriced english shops.

tub: £15
tubing: £7
pump (this one i did get from ebay): £29
net pots and sprinkler (from a hydro shop): £5
airpump (from petsmart) £30

not including the nutrients thats £86. works out to $131. couple of bucks my arse.

works bloody well though.

[tip top toker]

mammal that looks awesome! I also found the "couple of bucks" concept to be a teeny tiny bit flawed when i went shopping for bits and pieces.

 

[tamjam69]

i hope one of you guys could please help me, i am in need of a cool tube but dont want to pay the 40 quid ( sorry pound sign key on keyboard is broke lol ) for a proper one online.

obviously no pyrex bake a rounds here in the uk!! so could anyone point me in the right direction for a glass tube with a minimum diameter of 4 inches and around 18 inches in length. im pretty sure it has to be pyrex or tempered to handle the heat?

anyone got any ideas?

eBay?

or

bodge one up with a sheet of perspex (bout £12 for 1m by 1m, from homebase ) some silicone sealant and a cheap reflector, then stick the extractor ducting pretty much into it.
though I don't actually know how heat resistant 4mm perspex and silicone sealant is.... XD

[Yaaaldi]

I was wondering if any of you UK growers could help a first time UK grower out?

I'm planning on doing my first grow, but I'm at a bit of a loss with all the info out there.

Could anyone link me to a comprehensive step by step guide that they can vouch for themselves? I'm also wondering what strains are the best for a first timer?

So whats every1 growing just now??

hey peeps thought id pop in and say ello as im new to the board..

a mate gave me a plant bout 3/4 weeks ago aint got a clue what it is (some type of sativa) but it's been doing reasonably well under the uk sun whilst ive had it....well till the weather crapped out like it has for the last few days.

 

[Yaaaldi]

cheers for the reply vento. I should have mentioned I'm going to be converting my closet into my 'garden', from what I have read autoflowering seeds will do better because of the lack of space I'm going to have. I'm worried that with a photoperiod strain and my first time grow I might accidently make the plant too big for the closet.

I think I'm going to go for fluorescent lights, but exactly how much light will I need in my closet for 2 or 3 autoflowering plants?

 

[Cannaman C]

lookin good so far homer i hope the weathers good 2 ya good luck
