I'm about to grow for the first time but I'm unsure what to grow. My goal is probably different to most here but I'm sure someone can help!

I'm a long term street resin smoker, 10 years every single day, an ounce or so a month. I'm sick of chasing people and its time to take it into my own hands.
I like to just take the edge off a day or a quick relax at lunch time, also used as a sleeping pill at night. I mostly like to function while stoned but don't mind complete couch lock either if smoked in a large quantity.
Of course, resin tends to be low quality and weak. I have smoked bud before and it blows my head off although the up was great. I absolutely don't want trips or hallucinations. I'd rather be up and sleepy than that totally unable to function eyes burning feeling.

I'm going to grow something wicked just for trial but I also want something that can replicate my usual good quality resin for day to day use.

Suggestions gratefully received!

Mmm ur wanting 2 different things really like a nice mello sativa or a sativa dominent hybrid for the daytime and a nice heavy indica for night.

A was actually looking about today for a fella who's doing strawberry cough and alot of people said it was amazing to smoke and a very good daytime up/high smoke its a sativa dom hybrid 75% sativa 25% indica, could be a good one for through the day.

As for night u want a good indica theres loads like white rhino which i'm doing just now its meant to be a good medi strain as i hav difficulties sleeping hoping this will knock me out

Theres honestly to many to start listing them but if u look about the site or in the strain talk forum u'll find what ur looking for

Oh welcome to the site

'Something for a long term resin smoker' - Hmmm.....









¿A set of new lungs, maybe?


e²a: Welcome to UK420, BTW.

Id have to agree with evans here, as I pretty much purchased seeds with the same idea in mind.
I dont think there is really 1 strain that does it all. Even if there is it would be like a search for the grail. Youre better off growing 2 strains.

My choice, for example, was Super Silver Haze for day time smoke, and Papaya for night time.

Some other good suggestions would be (from what im told):

Day time:
-Bangi Haze (ACE). Ive heard great things about this one, and its very aesthetically pleasing to boot.
-SSH (Mr Nice). Can you really argue with back-to-back-to-back CanCup winning genetics?
-Kali Mist (Serious)... This one take a bit longer to flower but from what I hear is WELL worth it. Supposed to have a creative up high. Great for listening to music and such. This is actually at the top of my list, I would have grabbed it but didnt want such a late bloomer for first grow.. lots of time to mess up hehe.
-Strawberry cough (Dutch Passion) As evans said...
-Northern Lights #5 x Haze (Sensi) Legendary from what I hear... plus from the pics Ive seen, holy hell she's a sexy bloomer.

Night time:
-Papaya (Nirvana) Supposed to be very mellow, lethargic almost narcotic stone. Also supposed to smell/taste of mango
-Hash Plant (Sensi) Highly resinous. Deep stone.
-White Russian(serious) Also highly resinous. (Any white strain is)
-Violator Kush (Barneys)
-Medicine Man (Mr Nice) if it means anything to you... this strain comes with a warning . They say to be careful smoking it as even experienced smokers have trouble finishing a joint.

Hope this helps. Your best bet is just to jump on some seed sites and start reading away. Also Ed Rosenthal's(sp?) Big Book of Buds is pretty awesome. Tells you all about the strain and who breeds them.

Just read the soapbar thread - I thought the talk about diesel, shoe polish etc was made up, I knew it was weak but I really didn't believe it was quite likely to be full of toxic crap. Kinda made me think twice about even smoking the resin I currently have. I smoke 20 fags a day so my lungs are wrecked anyway

Still, there is a bright side, I'm cleaning up and going pure!

Thanks for the welcome, my eyes hurt from reading so much. This place is packed with info and its hard to focus on extracting what I need but that can only be a good thing.


evans181/ddbleak: You have given me lots to go on there, much appreciated

Well if you think about it, all the stuff that's in that's *not* weed has to be made up of something else, and unfortunately with the market being controlled by uncaring, rapacious profit-hungry criminals, it tends to be bulked-up with whatever's the cheapest, most available shit (sometimes literally ) that they have at hand.

You would probably really like Afghani, taste like really nice hash. I grew it many, many years ago and it's very easy to grow, I had almost zero knowledge.

At the time in the early 90's all we ever saw was black and slate, soapbar was just starting to come around too down here too. As a hash lover I really enjoyed it.

These were the sensi seedbanks seeds, but I believe the nirvana ones are good too and at a tenner you can't really go wrong on your first grow.

I'm planning on doing some of nirvana's ones myself in the near future, should bring back a few memories.

anythin you grow yourself will be alot better than shitbar!without the soaring head-aches!

also on a plus note once you have grown your first crop there will be plenty of trim to make "REAL" hash. Or as its known around these parts "cannabis crack" you wont even believe that your soapbar and the lovely fresh you have just made are supposed to be the same thing.

i've smoked mostly bubblehash since sunday, as a long time heave toker with adhd, this is pure medicine.

its only when you start thinking about what hash is meant to be made of you realise how bad soap is eh. Its meant to be just the good bits so should be stronger than bud and it certainly isnt anywhere near that so there must be something in it.

I made about a gram of pressed hash from my resin catcher and it showed me what hash is meant to be like.

I cant wait to start making some real hash.

sorry cant help on what strains would be good for you I am new to growing too.

good luck with it

i would recommend. hash plant and mangolian indica.. plus make bubble hash from leafs after...!!! lubbely jubbley

Hello Magsy,

How about Hashberry buds for the day nice and mellow smoke,

Hashberry bubblehash at night to finish ya off.

First time you smoke you own bubble hash is amazing mate.

HASHBERRY

Mrm

yes i quite agree, the first time you smoke your own hash made with the bubble bags + ice , is truly an experience,ive just recently made some from serious bubble gum and ssbc sensi skunk from trim leaf and a load of bud i lost to mold

i couldnt believe the outcome, the hash you get is amazing i ended up with 2 types,as i used only the 2 bags to get the 2 grades as well as the intial bag for removing the crap, so 3 bags in total.

one was a higher quality than the other and they really do feel like the high grade hashes you can buy in the dam, imported or otherwise.

depending on strains and environment will determine taste of hash.it really is worth the effort.i would love to try this with an afghani strain - anyone made hash with this method using an afghani plant?

the point is though the quality of smoke you will get and the effect will be outstanding, i just dont want mine to run out and im sure when you make yours you wont either

"good quality resin"

No such thing mate, not commercially anyway.

Just grow some buds, you will never look back.....

Dutch Passion's MasterKush has a nice resiny taste and effect, mellowed but not too much to knock you out.

A lot stronger try Sensi seeds Black Domina - full on indica wowa

For a nice fruity smoke that lets you get things done and motivates you, i liked DP's Flo - tastes and smells like temple ball.

Hope this helps a bit.

Good to hear you working for yourself.

all the best

black domina might be a bit heavy for a soapbar smoker.

From soapbar skunk 1 will be a vast improvement, id say go with sensi superskunk. Strong and you only need to use a small bit rather than load your joints up. Both skunk 1 and superskunk are easy enough for beginners.

Greenmonster

E2A black domina is not for beginners

True, BD is not for beginners but it sure does taste hashy and also can be used as a sleeping pill at night.

How about a nice bubblegum? It's a nice happy high, not too heavy and it can taste of bubblegum or hash.

Hope you find your alternative to soap, tbh anything would be a damn good replacement.

What nonsense! I enjoy good quality resin that I buy commercially. It costs the best part of 10 quid a gram but is some of the nicest Maroc I've had in years. There seems to be a bit of it my way at the mo.

Not all resin is bad - Only soapbar . I grow green but given the choice I would always choose to smoke a decent hashish during the day and save the more couch lock effects of an Indica skunk for an evening.

To the poster's original question I would also reccomend an Afghani or Hashberry.

It would be similar to an atheist shown the proof of heaven.Props to the domina! 908

growing your own
now let me see, choices choices bubblehash and cannabutter to, and if you smoke joints a little honey could be for you.
i've been lucky and not had to pay for seeds for about 4 years now, all private bred seeds and i still got some i aint tried yet.
