All the modern Cannabis strains are hybrids from the same 7 original heirloom/landrace strains that all originate from parts of Asia. Cannabis does obviously grow in other parts of the world such as Africa and South America but strains like Swazi Gold and Mexican Sativa and Colombian Gold did not really get mixed in till a bit later. Skunk no1 is a mix of Mexican and Colombian Sativa's and Afghani which is an Indica (i think)
The whole growing in a loft thing, unless you actually box it off and set it up properly i would never personally suggest growing in a loft, i mean why would you want to lugging big bags of compost up into the loft that's before you even get to the watering especially if you are doing a hydroponic setup. I hav'nt grown anything for a few years now but even when i did there is stuff you can buy (not cheap mind) that you put around the lights and if you have a proper air flow setup you can disperse the heat so the choppers don't see sod all. Still get the grow kit's also, don't forget the hydroponic stuff is designed for for growing fruit and veg and even normal flowers, It's great for growing massive ornamental flowers.

The debate for social usage will carry on ...,...
If you are caught growing it expect the law to come down on you in a big way .....

The late great Geoff Hamilton- met him in Liverpool at a conference.......also Roy Lancaster the plant Hunter who I met on a few occasions- He trained at the same college as me you could tell then he was going to make it big .....
Also the late David Bellamy what a great Botinist he really was - they influenced my career Alan Titmarsh parks trained is okish, but the big time went to his head ......but he knows his stuff .......
My real heroes were two guys who trained me ex Liverpool parks growers - I obtained many qualifications, but what II learnt off them set me up in life - attention to detail - operators their skill levels were fantastic, they did not like bookworms .....

Leaves joey to it,the man sounds like a legend in the horticultural circles!!!
 

I've grown a lot of weed outside in me past.
By far the best method I've found is to create a "forcing box" Plonk it on mid July at 7 in the evening and take it off at 7 in the morning everyday. It makes em think they'e back at the equator and your using our hot summer sun to grow the flowers instead of just the plant. Give it 6 to 7 weeks and away you go!!!!
 
I bought AstroTurf 3 weeks ago and treated myself to a decent Flymo at the same time. I've watered it everyday and even with the recent decent weather nothings happened. Will not buy this shabite ever again.

Joe, can I use salt on my lawn?

Yes if you want brown patches - Sodium was the first weedkiller ever used - Chlorate or Choride are both deadly and take sometime to dilute out of the soil ideal to use on cracks in concrete drives etc.......banned in Horticulture because of its chance of becoming flammable.....Choride ......about five years ago.......
