The UK Cannabis Seeds Scene.

As with all virtually all countries around the world, cannabis is the most common illegal drug used in the UK with an estimated 3 million users.

Each year in the UK, over 100,000 people seek treatment for drug-related problems and just over half gave cannabis as their primary drug of use.

Cannabis Sativa can and is grown in the open in the UK, but it doesn’t flourish in the temperature and the somewhat unpredictable climate. In most cases of growing cannabis outdoors in the UK, the levels of THC will normally by very low. In order to obtain higher “acceptable” levels of THC it is necessary to provide artificially the high levels of light and warm temperatures that mimic the cannabis plants natural home.

UK Indoor Growing

In recent years, the indoor growing of cannabis seeds has increased in popularity. For many years, cannabis has been grown on a small scale with one or two plants on the windowsill.

Now with the availability of hydroponic growing equipment being readily available via the internet, growers can achieve high yields and high potency from their cannabis plants.

Equipment available includes daylight spectrums, heaters, fans, growing medium, nutrients, computer controlled timers, supports and chamber to optimise humidity.

Hydroponics takes advantage of the way all plants grow. They feed by absorbing the nutrients in the form of particles suspended in water, with the soil acting as a reservoir of the particles and the necessary water, but playing no direct part in nourishing the cannabis plant.

In hydroponic growing methods, soil can be replaced by inert substances such as gravel, mineral wool and perlite. These media provide the reservoir for the water borne nutrients and some degree of support for the plant. In more sophisticated hydroponic techniques, the inert material is removed altogether, encouraging the plant roots to spread themselves directly in a nutrient liquid. In both these techniques artificial plant support is required.

With near perfect growing conditions achievable, good high yield and high potency hybrid plants are produced which are then cloned by growers to produce seeds that will germinate true, producing endless quantities of quality cannabis plants.

Cannabis seeds can be purchased legally in the UK and there are a number of reputable online cannabis seed suppliers including Discount Cannabis Seeds: www.discountcannabisseeds.co.uk

The easy availability of cannabis seeds, growing equipment and the internet for knowledge has led to an explosion in growing cannabis indoors. Beware, every day the police close down hydroponic cannabis farms with almost all those found guilty of growing on a commercial scale given a custodial sentence.

Crime and Cannabis Farms

With around 3 million user of cannabis in the UK, it is hardly surprising that this represents an enormous user market with potential for huge profits. Until recent times, the vast majority of cannabis used in the UK was imported with approximately 10% being available from domestic cultivation. Nowadays it is estimated that 65% of the UK cannabis market is produced in the UK.

A typical hydroponic cannabis farm in the UK will the conversion of a house or disused factory. Windows will be blacked out and walls ceilings insulated. High power daylight spectrum lights, fans and heaters will then be installed together with the hydroponic growing equipment.

One of the ways the Police detect the presence of a cannabis farm is through the high electricity consumption due to the lights, fans and heaters. The police work with the electricity supply companies who report excessively high consumption. To get around this issue, growers have been known to bypass the electricity meters by and illegally connect to the main supply. This action is highly dangerous with a risk of fire and electrocution.

The prospect of huge profits will undoubtedly attract the attention of organised criminal gangs where the appalling use of child labour is used to “manage” the cannabis farm and ultimately to fuel the demand for illegal drug use.

Is Cannabis legal?

• Cannabis, unfortunately does not follow a strict line of being legal or illegal across the globe, and in fact can vary considerably in each country depending on its use and form.
• Whilst it is illegal to own or possess the drug in the vast majority of countries around the world, many countries have in fact decriminalised possession in small quantities, with the reasoning that it isn't being used to sell or supply.
• In the UK, it is actually legal to own cannabis seeds, such as the ones available on this website, but it is 100% ILLEGAL to grow or attempt to grow the cannabis plant from these seeds unless you have a licence from the Home Office.
• WE STRICTLY ADVISE THAT PURCHASED CANNABIS SEEDS ARE NOT USED TO GROW CANNABIS PLANTS AS THIS PRACTICE IS ILLEGAL.
