420 in Amsterdam 06

[CalcioErba2004]

Jubei yes you did my friend. That Bic looks familiar...keep those pics because that lighter was taken at Schiphol by Airport Security. That little sucker made it from the states to the dam only to be taken by some dutch security dude and thrown in the garbage...son of a bitch.

 

[SativaBelieva]

Jubei!!!... stil alive!

Nice pics GM, just as I remember your white widow looked nice golden!... and yes Greenthumb rocks!... sweet grapefruit... and I'm still to try that jesus bud...

 

[gaiusmarius]

Hey Jubei

good to hear from you man, it was a prety special meet this year i must admit. i knda expected to see you there, oh well next time.

Yo CalcioErba2000

why would they take your lighter away man?

Hi again SativaBelieva

the Jesus bud was amazing, but then as you say mrGreenthumb truely rocks as a grower. all the strains he showed me looked very special. all had that nice light green gold colour of well flushed and grown pot. i wish i could have tried each and every one of those strains one per day. i was so overwhelmed by well grown bud that i felt it difficult to do justice to every sample.

pix:

ok here we are with another amazing bit of ganjah, grown by, who else? mrGreenthumb, again i hope he'll tell us the names. my camera isn't really any good for closeups but i did what i could.







and now we come to Alex-F's ApoloMist if i'm not greatly mistaken. it has a certain similarity to johnbuds sample, but i think that comes later. or is this Johnbuds sample? hm i'm lost here, help me out guys?





next up we have a pile of bikes ready to go on the first Haze hunt with trichomefarmer. this was on the 19th. it was very funny following tf through traffic. we did a haze hunt twice and both occassions were great fun. but the second one was more people which was cool. to get the inside dope on the bike tours visit the trichomefarmers bike tour thread lol. for me a bike is a must in amsterdam.







now this could be the ApoloMist, no? what do you say Alex-F? next time i really must lable the buds.

Gaius, the ms. and i enjoyed very much meeting you. Your White widow was some very nice smoke. it has been nice to know the faces behind alot of the post I read, hope we can smoke together again next april...

Could well be but I'm not that sure either

I somehow totally missed this Greenthumb. Brightside said he was from Germany so i'm a bit bummed about having missed the only other German
Can't find any of his posts anywhere though, is he from IC or was he from OG??

 

[peter]

GREAT pics gang.
Giaus mate those containers were either greenthumb.s or Adams his
oregon friend who both have the majic touch for sure the blue tape bag was adams oregon sugar which imho was superb as all of there buds were.
The bottom tub was IP2000 ime not sure which others were which but every one a winner.
Alex f ... for a first year grower youre weed was pretty dam profesionaly turned out man.....that apollo mist was well nice... more of the same please lol... Greenthumb was/is a regular and well respected overgrow contributor.
It was all rather good wasnt it hahaha.

@ Grat3fulH3ad

wish there had been a bit more time, but it was great meeting you guys too. glad you got to smoke some of my WW. we surely have to repeat it next time a bit more in depth maybe, hehe?

@ Alex-F

lol, don't you recognize your buds? hehe and i thought i was bad, :grin: i think your ApoloMist is still comeing up. but i'm not sure, wasn't the AM a bit tighter looking? i just don't remember, sorry man. its a pity you didn't meet greenthumb, he is an older OG member. i don't know if he posts on this forum i hope so lol.

@ peter

thanks very much peter mate, great job of keeping on top of what is what. that Sugar was something else wasn't it? i have to agree whole heartedly mr.greenthumb and Adam both have the magic touch of fine ganjah growers. they inspired me to get more smokeables over there next time lol. i smoked so much impresive cannabis that i don't remember how the IP 2000 tasted, but their Jesus bud was amazing too. thanks for refreshing my memory, even though it was your fault giving me that Candy bubble and cherybomb hash to smoke, that i forgot so much in the first place LOL hehe. it was a really great time wasn't it?

 

[Alex-F]

Well my AM looks like the herb you got in the jar there, but I'm pritty sure that my jar wasn't as full as that one pictured by the time it got to you

[Medical Grade]

great thread gaius! I feel like I actually could have been there....in a hazy kind of way...hehe

MG

 

[gaiusmarius]

and some more...

and some more...

Hey Alex-F,

i get you man, was only jokeing. but we will surely figure it out between us, eh? lol. still got quite some pics to post so it might still be comeing up.

Yo Farmer John

thats putting it mildly lol. it was a real blast of a 420! hey dude are you serious about starting a FB seed co? great idea, its a great name.

Hi ya Medical Grade

hazey kind of way is right, lol. i did my best, but its next to imposible to convey the general atmosphere, to someone who wasn't there. real pity you and yoshi and outkast didn't make it. it would have been so awsome to meet up. maybe next year the event will be official again, not that it maters to me lol, this so called unofficial 420 was absolutly fantastic. as there wasn't hardly any program one could deceide what to do on a moment to moment basis, which alowed for lots of socializeing. also the way everyone ended up being able to judge prety much everything was also cool.

anyway lets be haveing a few more pics, i will refrain from comenting where i'm not sure for now, i can always edit it when i get pointed in the right direction. so here goes, at the Katsu by the look of the menue at the end of this batch?







this bud i remember as SativaBelieva's Sage, the above piece of bubble and the next up pics are all from SB's stash. as far as i remember he said the other bud is StrawberryCough, so is the bubble made from the strain its sitting next to. marvelous purple and pink colors on that Sage bud. EDITED to add: the bud just below is actualy SativaBelieva's "KushSage", not the pure Sage. thanks for the correction trichomefarmer its appreciated.

 

[trichomefarmer]

Thats not s.a.g.e. that is kushsage, close but not quite.

end of second bike tour...

end of second bike tour...









Here we are enjoying some more goodies before we're off to Nol's places in Harlem. Nol greeted us as we entered his first place very close to the train station and immediatly procceeded to make us feel at home. in my case that ment geting refamiliarized with the verdampher vaporizer which really is one of the finest ways to consume bud. the great bonus at Nols places is that he's into bio ganjah and has quite a few strains selling as bio. the Northern Haze for example had a prety damn good taste. as for the diesel that was quite amazing, after the first pull on it i couldn't figure it out. it had what one can fairly call a very unique flavour. as you smoked it you actualy got a kind of a rubbarb taste. as there was both a volcano and a verdampher right next to each other it was an ideal oportunity to try and compare porformance on the two. this we duely did and i have to admit that i still can't say which is better. they both have their place, the volcano is much more of a party animal in my opinion but the verdampher has its own special charm of water filtering. anyway after about 45 minutes we figured out they are both fucking awsome vaporizers in the end lol.

it was time to move on to the bigger place and this we did following Nol. haveing been their before i was rather looking forward to the second stop as i knew it was big enough to seat us all in comfort. as it turned out Nol was in the mood to share some of his private stash of bubble with us. like a magician he produced his litle magic suitcase and showed us its fine contents.....in the case there were 6 small jars each with a lable, more importantly each containing one fine strain of bubble or another. he also had this most incredible glass steamroller pipe type thing, which he called his dragon pipe as far as i remember. this pipe had a special chamber which colected the smoke in it before you sucked it down. it seemed like the perfect bubble smokeing pipe. and Nol just kep filling it up again and again and again. for some strange reason i don't have a pic of the Dragon pipe, but you can see the jars of bubble eh? what a day it turned out to be, i've seldome been so stoned. Nol you were a great host once again, many thanks.

 

[Queso]

awesome pics man!

i just have a question


how do the prices work for these strains??? i see they all have the 20 euro sign beside the names.. then waht is 3,50 gram... and 5,00 gram, and 2,35 gram....


what are the actual prices... how do you read that menu for prices??

 

[SativaBelieva]

Yep, seems like TF remembered that bud well... Kusage shows some purpling... the other is Strawberry Cough... it has been 2 years since I've grown some S.A.G.E.... now I start missing her... especially after tasting TF's Sage2o...

Q... the prices at the Katsu go by bag... on this page of the menu you see the special offers... they all cost €20... for some you get 1.5 gram... for other you get 5 grams... or something in between...

 

[gaiusmarius]

visiting the roor shop...

visiting the roor shop...

Hi Queso, thanks glad your enjoying...yeah that menue page is prety cool huh? it shows the incredible differences in prices.

Hi again SativaBelieva, tf is very good at remembering which pics are of which strain and grown by whom, lol. next time i really will take the trouble to lable my pics ala Smokey's system.

what can i say? i seem to be getting my days muddled up a bit...anyway this was for sure the 420 day lol, i know this because thats when we visited the roor shop and rented a litle sister, hehe.

as you will see on the pics the roor shops has something of an aladin's cafe. but instead of the kings ransome in jewls we have pashas's collection of fine bongs. the shelves are lit up to make the glass work shine and sparkle, the most dear amongst them are diplayed in their own vitrines or velvet lined cases. i must say it has a brilliant effect and makes you want to buy something at least lol. even if its only a lighter or glass jar, or as in my case a new ash catcher.

but just imagine my suprise when trichomefarmer called me over and showed me this notice;



it took me a few minutes to befriend the idea of walking out of there with a complete roor setup to smoke bubble includeing ash catcher and a bent bowl to make it even for the melty bubble, but once convinced of the fairness of the rental i couldn't refuse the temptation lol......specily not as tf sugested we go halfs on the deposit which was the value of all the pieces pluss the bag together lol. anyway check out the roor shop, lets hope they keep this unique service going.













now we come to the nitty gritty of renting a bong, it took a few minutes to get all the details down, before i could walk out with my bong all safely packed in its individual pieces in the padded bag. one last look before walking out in haste to try it out...

 

[Farmer John]

That bong sure was a nice one, how much did you have to pay for that part some asshole broke?

 

[gaiusmarius]

That bong sure was a nice one, how much did you have to pay for that part some asshole broke?

now now FarmerJohn, whats done is done, lol. i know i was pissed off, but i quickly realized that kind of thing can hapen. in the end it cost me 14 euros to replace that down stem that got so mistieriously broken. i was trying to keep an eye on the bong, but a short distraction was all it took and all of a sudden i noticed that the down stem had a chip missing and no one seemed to know how or when it hapened. but like i say, who gives a shit? it would have been cool if whoever did it owned up, thats what i did last year when i lost uncle stoners bong after telling him i'd look after it lol. but maybe they never noticed whacking it or dropping it LOL. the main thing was that it still worked even with the missing chip of glass lol.

 

[vhGhost]

next year i'm coming with you guys heheh if you let me heheheh

 

[gaiusmarius]

Hi vhGhost,

from what i see in your gallerie, i'm sure you'd be more then welcome lol. this year was an unofficial meet. but its normaly called a growers and breeders cup.
