Has anyone been to 'Product Earth'? I went yesterday and I must say I was very surprised.
All the paraphernalia, grow equipment, seeds, commercial grow kits - pretty much everything under one roof. But what surprised me the most was the sheer amount and variety of weed available, THC and CBD varieties. Some of the Cai stuff was going for up to 80£ an 1/8 which is berzerk, it is nice but not more than 20£ an 1/8 nice but clearly people are paying that. There was also a small variety of hash, nothing special with respect to old school hash except a few slabs of Maroc export grade, every kind of extract around including diamonds and full extracts. It was really odd essentially wandering through a dope market - with food stalls and copious amounts of buds being smoked up.
Just to try and see what people are smoking these days I got myself some Strawberry Cheesecake and some Oreos, as well as some 35% CBD Black hash, and some 38% King Hassan CBD hash.

Also, in the grow area, they were giving out loads of new bits and bobs to try - so being an Wilma chapp through and through - I spoke to the chaps there, told them to update their design by adding halo's instead of the drippers for people who want less coco in their mix....lets see - anyhow, they have their new PK out so the chap gave me enough for a couple of grows to see how that works out. Also the guys at MOnkey Nutrients, another UK firm handed me some Boost, CalmAg, Resin 1ltr bottles to try out, and the chap at growers Ark gave me 1ltr of their Root Tonic, and finally the Aptus guys gave me a starter kit of their nutrients.
Oh and there was also glass blowing where people were making their own bongs and glass smoking utensils, Jonathan pie was speaking funny shit on stage, there were seminars about growing, legal canna prescriptions (which looks like I can get easily enough) plus some Prescription weed - it was great to see, Prescription weed in the UK and the quality was top shelf - the stuff I tried came from Macedonia imported by the NHS and handed out on prescriptions. and then an after dark with live music, big fire and loads of people chatting about the plant and how they 'do theirs'.
All in all, a really fine day - it is on today as well if you live near Coventry - my drive was a touch over an hour and for sure it was worthwhile.
