  • This is what I tell people: it is not that salty and I taste a bit of sweetness with it (that sort of mild sweetness, hope you know what I mean).

    If I travel to Germany in the future, I would love to try Mett. That’s one dish people here sometimes turn their heads at, however it sounds very nice from the descriptions.

    I think more people should consider the whole “when in Rome, live as the Romans do” idea when traveling, food is a great way to appreciate a country or area.


  • I love Dutch herring!

    Most times of year it’s referred to as Matjes Herring, which is the usual catch and tastes as nice as herring does.
    At the right time of year, from around some time in June/July, you get Hollandse Nieuwe herring, where it has at least 6% fat. Has a melt in the mouth effect and even nicer.

    I’m going to NL within a few weeks and cannot wait! It’s the first thing I get, even before going to a coffeeshop.

    It’s also very good for settling my stomach and gut, as I get a lot of inflammation there. Sorts it out, can’t explain the science behind that though.









  • It’s quite satisfying. I grew a very colourful cultivar this time around, and I’m sampling it right now (Blood Diamonds 2.0).

    Once you have things dialed in, environment wise, there is great benefit in being able to choose genetics (be wise to find reputable breeders however, and steer clear of white label seeds as well).
    There are just so many flavours and variations people growing for an illegal market do not have the patience for. I mean I had to push these until 11 weeks in flower until they were ripe enough to chop! Well worth it though, and I recommend anyone in the position to try it to give growing a shot.


  • If you are not in a position to do it properly, it’s not worth doing over just buying weed.

    It’s not just about yield, even if you’re comfortable with a very low yielding harvest, but your quality will suffer and the genetics will not reach their full potential without the right things.

    The CFLs don’t have enough of a broad spectrum to support a lot of good growth, and you’ll end up with low quality results with a low yield. Not to mention any tent is likely to make some noise, from the extraction fan and a fan for circulating air around, and even with an extraction fan for good bud if you’re trimming outside of the tent it WILL stink up your house something fierce.
    Not to mention your parents would get suspicious of the constant visits to your room, as your learning to maintain good VPD etc.

    Airflow being important if you don’t want mold.

    Anyone can grow weed, but it takes some effort to grow good weed. It would be wise to consider this once you have your own place to do so, it’s worth the wait and you can easily pull 3-4+ ounces per plant (in dry weight) under a 200w LED with the right gear, but the CFLs will be weaker and probably net you under an ounce in dry weight.
