My sample arrived just half an hour ago and let me say, it is looking a beauty :)
Heavily compacted bud, great smell. Reminds me of the homegrown my pa used to grow when I was a kid.

Cant wait to finish work and roll it up. When I do, I will report back here  8)

Packaging: Excellent. No risks taken by putting it in just an envelope, it was in a proper bubble wrap one. The bud was in a baggie that was in a smell proof sealed plastic. Couldn’t smell a thing until I cut the plastic then the lovely smell him me

Rolled it all into a nice zoot without baccy and it’s a nice flavor, real easy to smoke. I was planning to smoke half and then go and do a few chores I had to do before finishing it. Well that went out the window. Went to play some music to work to and ended up listing to music for an hour or so haha. After I realized I wasn’t going to do any clearing up now I toasted the last half and raided the fridge while laughing my ass off at some Jerry Springer (a ridiculous show made even more funny while high).

In short, a nice heady high that you only need a little to have a good time with. Top stuff trava. Now I just need to scrape the bitcoins together to buy some  :D

Package arrived in a couple of days. Very fast shipping and great communication.

Packaging (4/5)

The package its self was vacuum sealed, with no smell coming from it. I have given it a 4 since it used hand written labels, when for me printed labels should really be used.

Bud appearance and smell (4/5)

This bud was extremely well cured and trimmed. They were not the biggest nuggets but this is always going to be the case with a sample. It smells divine, quite a sweet smelling bud, almost like bubblegum.

Smoke (5/5)

Cleaned my bong last night to give this a fair test and to really taste the flavor. It tasted superb and was quite an uplifting high. I would not classify this bud as  high grade, rather really well grown home grown. It is not going to blow your brains but for me that can be a plus point for a daytime smoke when stuff has to be achieved :)

Overall this bud ticked my boxes and I would purchase it again, maybe for a slightly reduced price. Thanks alot Trava for your generosity.

thanks alot guys for feedback, i will invest in a label printer

if i sell at 5bt for 2g, would that be fine and what weights do most people prefer buying ?
Title: Re: UK Homegrown Bud - market research
Post by: rightonion on June 08, 2012, 11:05 am
Yeh i think that price would be about right. I personally like to see 1g, 3.5g and 5g or 7g listings. Gives a good spread. Any idea on when you will set up shop?

Post by: tottenham01 on June 08, 2012, 08:35 pm
sample received

smoke 100% worth the price the vendor is looking for, i have been smoking a long time and have a high tolerance but but this is some strong smoke.

rolled the sample into 1 joint and buzzed nice of it for hours, is a indica dominant strain and is untouched (there's lots of spray in the uk)

coms where great as was delivery time 1 day and it was packaged very safely even tho uk to uk!

if you do decide to be a vendor trava you should have no problems selling this product.

5/5...............

Disclaimer: not interested in any free samples or anything. I don't really order weed that often, I'm an occasional smoker.

It seems from the feedback on this thread that your product is quality. And kudos for giving out free samples, that's always admirable!

My observation, though, is that there are plenty of other UK vendors that other *fantastic* quality weed/hash, the quality of which is undisputed - vacuum-sealed, fast delivery, quite professional operations etc. - and the prices are a bit lower. I won't mention any by names, but you probably know who they are.

Perhaps worth cutting your prices slightly? Not by much, but by enough that it seems like a good deal.

Just my 2c.

Sorry for the late review,
Weed got to me quick enough, not the best looking weed but very potent!
Well worth the money and will be making a purchase when i have some bc.
Very strong indica but got a nice buzz i dont usually get after smoking indi dominants
made a nice change!

thanks for the sample :)

Just placed an order. Can't wait to try. Some pretty good reviews you got here. I'm not usually one for trying out new sellers, but tbh there really isn't enough UK sellers on silkroad. I'll post a review when it arrives
Title: Re: UK Homegrown Bud - market research
Post by: redalloverthelandguyhere on June 13, 2012, 01:46 pm
£70 for a quarter of bud is very steep.

But there is a big market for £10 grams of bud so good luck if its good gear.

You could put some more growing info in for us.

Is this soil or hydro for example

To be honest I only buy hash here and only foreign import at that.

I can test bud as good as ANY toker here. But I'll pass on this as you want buyers and I'd be lying if I said I'd be buying £10 grams when IRL its possible to get a 'buddy deal'.

In the UK - if your selling bud that is properly grown, properly cured and dried then I will not argue at anyone who wants £10 a gram.

I'm trying to get some IRL dealers to do some work here instead. And retired guys who can lay hand on decent priced ounces. I'd expect 2 BTC per gram on Sativa! Indica grows so quickly that the price ought to reflect that.

Hopefully I can sort this and when it is sorted I will give a shout out here to UK buyers and the vendor will ask you get your stats out!

So lets have some competition with cannabis here!

Get those silly prices down.

And another thing - imported hash - even that is losing it a bit here. That is all I buy so if anyone has samples then do send me one!

Bud? I'll not be greedy. I'm not going to buy it so its unfair for me to take it off those who choose to work for a living and pay top price for bud.

There is some good bud in my circles. At home at work at play!

Now its summer I want a nice Sativa.

We got African Bush Doctor here vending from good old Africa! By rights, some enterprising hash maker in Africa deserves to succeed here IF that kief is clean and the real thing. Samples have been sent out of that - I begged for one. Well - I was not going to suck the guys donger but I praised the Africans for being the mother country of weed. It began there. And weed grown under the sun is lovely. Its not as strong as indoor because the elements tend to take off a few heads off those resin tichomes.

Anyway good luck to any UK vendors. The reason I moan sometimes is because when skunk weed first got sold hardly anyone believed in it! It was going for silly prices! £70 to £100. Then it went up and up and up and the quality went down and down.

Street bud is £10 per gram at least! Usually its a nothing to talk about type of smoke. A 'does the job' smoke - harsh and not about to win awards for smoke of the year.

The small growers who let some bud go will usually have better quality. but you need to test it. A photo of bud is useful but like a photo of a women it says nothing really. You got to know that weed!

One thing about this forum is that the people who test out samples are going to tell us if this bud is worth it. You sent out samples because you believe in it.

PS - NEVER vend under your forum user name.

And get a vacuum sealer!

You will need that with good UK grown bud.

UK growers who are good are some of the best in the world.

Smaller growers put time into each plant.

That loving touch is felt when you smoke that bud.

Good luck!

We need more vendors of bud to try all the new varieties.

PS - its possible I might buy some bud if someone knocked out some real heavy going 16 week Sativa. That would cost a lot I know. Some people would cry 'rip off' as we are so used to Indica. A pure Sativa does not have that body stone - in fact, sometimes you want to clean the house or do something in work! A great smoke to have on your birthday as it can be smoked in the morning - but too much and you will be tripping almost.

I'd buy that kind of bud.

Nothing beats a Super Silver Haze! The taste - the clear headed stone - the creeping high that sneaks up like a mugger at a cash point.

Best thing about BTC is no shady guy standing behind you with his hood up when you withdraw the BTC.

Laters fellow tokers!

Enjoy whatever your smoking right now.

I got some nice Big Bud. Old school shit.

Sheeeiit!

those were prices with older exchange rates, i plan to sell quarters at around £60 inc postage

where i live people get ripped off nicely when it comes to weed, for a score you get less than 1.4g in many cases and ud be lucky to even get 1g per £10

I received in the usa. Great smoke. Gave a really good high. The smell i couldn't quite put my finger on it. You can definably tell it's homegrown. Some of the harshest smoke I've smoked in a really long time. I highly recommend this bud.  I even got some nice papers and filters, and a bad ass lighter. Thank you thank you. The packaging was fantastic. Really stealth, and really professional. Keep up the amazing work.

Completely forgot to review =O. Very good smoke I have to say, didn't kick in right away. I smoked a blunt at the bus stop while waiting for a bus. I ended up feeling like I was stuck to the chair. I was completely fucked, makes a change for me =P.

5/5 product
5/5 packaging
5/5 Vendor Communication
4/5 Value (Higher quantities at a lower price per gram would be nice)

I just received an order from Trava.

"tasty homegrown weed" .

Arrived the next day, packaging is excellent - ZERO smell until you actually open the inner (final) layer.

Nice big nuggets, peppered with crystals.
Stems and leaves trimmed away.

Smoke is lovely and mellow. Doesn't knock you out, but it's certainly strong.

I will definitely be back for more. ★★★★★
