A big hello from The Netherlands

[Happy Crash]

Hi everybody,

This year I decided to make my first attempt at growing cannabis, and I decided to join this forum to read about other's experiences and post questions when trouble arises. I'm amazed at the cool attitude that reigns here, and the helpful attitude of the members!

A little bit about myself: I'm an entrepeneur from The Netherlands, I own two companies and I got into weed last year when I had a concussion. The headaches were absolutely terrible and lasted for nearly half a year. My doctor prescribed me all kinds of painkillers but nothing seemed to work, and most had nasty sideffects. Somewhere along the line he suggested smoking a joint and see if that helped, I did, and the result was absolutely remarkable. For the first time in months I didn't have a headache anymore, even if it was only for a couple of hours, it absolutely stunned me. I did some personal research into the effects of cannabis and I can't come up with anythin else than it being just a remarkable plant; for relaxation and medicinal purposes.

Since then I'm totally convinced about the importance of this plant and have decided to grow my own batch, since that is legal here in The Netherlands (up to a point).

I hope to share my experiences and meet likeminded people here!

Hiya ganjamania, I live in the eastern part of the Netherlands, about 200km from Amsterdam. Things aren't "really" legal around here, but the government allows it up to a point (luckily). Great to hear you enjoy our country!!

Hey happy crash im from London UK but i go Amsterdam quite regularly, I love the place and hopefully one day ill live and work there!! Good to hear from ya!!

Hey Colton, no doubt about it, if you're into weed, Holland is THE place to go, coffeeshops are scattered all over the country. It's even legal to grow up to 5 plants in your own garden, isn't that schweet??

I tried a couple of strains, of which White Widow gave me the best results. It didn't make me as tired as the Super K2 and Power Plant strains did. After smoking those the headache was gone, true, but my head felt like it weighed 50kg

Heeey wat gaaf! Zomaar een Nederlandse ertussen! Dat had ik eerlijkgezegd niet eens verwacht

Well luckily I get a lot of help on the subject of growing from other forum members, I'm trying to grow my first batch ever this year

<sings out loud> Kleine jongens, als jullie later groot zijn, dan rolt je vader jullie ooooooop

Dude, ya gotta keep us updated on the whole process

Gehe wat kom jij lekker vrolijk over zeg. Moet er spontaan van glimlachen!

*passes the J n giggles
I remember my ex's plant. What a story. He grew them out on his roof in haarlem. Like 12 of them. They got as tall as him, he's like 6foot2. At one point they were blooming snow white crystals, they blinded the photograph lens. Anyhoo police raided the place and asked him how many plants he has. He said 8. They said go get me 3 cuz you're only allowed 5. Without them ever knowing he actually kept 9. Which resulted in a house full of drying danglies in which I almost always got my dreadlocks stuck in.

How lovely it is to live in the Netherlands.

Just follow my topic in Plant Problems to keep track of how things are going. Since I'm new to the whole thing I tend to panic at the sight of every tiny discoloured spot, running around the garden, flapping my arms, going "oh my god oh my god oh my god!", to the extreme agony of my neighbours, who can't even understand how I can get so excited about a couple of plants (I convinced them they're "chrysanten"; hey; I'm a salesman; I have the POWER! *raises arms to heaven* *thunder roars* *lightning clashes* MUAHAHAHAHAHA!)

Wow, that's something, growing on a roof in Haarlem!!! Great that the police didn't even bother to check on the plants! I do expect some trouble once I start to flower my babies, though, I live in a VERY conservative and EXTREMELY religiously conscious neighbourhood and once the smell hits the fan (so to speak) it's sure to piss some of 'em off!
