Title: Thinking of becoming a UK weed vendor
Post by: Silverback on June 17, 2012, 06:33 pm
Hi Silk road,


I've been growing and selling weed in the UK for over 10 years and I'm thinking of opening up shop here on SR as I have access to good quality weed pretty much all year round. I'd be willing to put out a few samples to people in return for some honest feedback. I have already made some purchases using my buyers account, I like the concept of SR and I'm edging closer to opening a buyers account.

If I can find a satisfactory method of shipping without smell escaping packages then I will be happy to supply people in the UK with high quality weed ( in my opinion, of course :) ) If any established members of the community are willing to give me some advice on smell proofing and packaging, great, if not I'm sure google will show me if I look hard enough.

Here's a few pictures of what I have at the moment.

Good to see another weed vendor here. Good luck on the road, what kind of strains can you offer?

Also you mentioned pictures in the post but not links?

At the moment I have shantibabas critical mass on the go, I have access to AK48 and lemon skunk clones but everyone is loving the critical mass so I havent seen any point in changing it yet. I'm open to trying most strains but I like keeping my flowering times under 10 weeks tops and I grow trees so I can't be having any exotic sativas in my rooms 60/40 sat dom is about as exotic as I can go due to the nature of my setup.

I've been trying to upload pictures but the forum keeps telling me the upload folder is full. If there's any other .onion image hosting sites I can use please guide the way. (**found a host)

WOW those are some really frosted nuggets. Impressed by your growing, you clearly know what you are doing. Never tried any critical mass but the results look impressive. I am more of a sativa man myself which is a shame considering how hard it is to acquire any good sativa in the UK.

When do you think you will have a vendor account set up?

Would be a pleasure to do a smoke report on here for you if you so desired.

Good luck with it.

If you can grown sativa's that looked so god damn amazing! you'd also sell a lot more!

What are your prices roughly? and if you are on a budget with no vacuum sealing facilities. then you can triple baggie it and lightly but air tightly wrap layers of duct tape around it, not too much as to squash the beautiful flower though! :P

The critical mass is a nice strain, it's Afghan x Skunk#1 if I'm not mistaken and the affy really kicks up the trichome production. I'd love to grow some sativas but it's rather difficult indoors unless you're flowering straight from a rooted clone and even then they can get wild, from a commercial standpoint in my particular setup it's not feasible. As I said I grow trees with vertical lighting so wrestling with sativas in that environment is a nightmare, even sativa dominant strains can be hard work.

As for the seller account, I'll grab a vacuum sealer this week and open an account. Once the vacpak arrives I'll put up some samples on my account and get one out to you and you can do a smoke report and let me know if I can improve on packaging, I'll double vac it like Limitless suggested so you wont have to worry about some weed turning up in a Christmas card envelope :D.

In the meantime I'll acquaint myself with bitcoin withdrawals and stealth packaging. I've been in the game a long time but I'm used to just handing over bags of weed and receiving cash in my hand, all these digital hoops to jump through are new to me so I'll get cracking and be up to speed soon enough.

all the best,

I'd love to grow Sativas but it's not really an option for me at the moment, unless anyone has the illusive quick finishing stumpy super silver haze clone they want to donate then it's not on the cards for the foreseeable future. I'll grab a decent vacuum sealer no worries there. As for prices. I really don't know yet I'd prefer to sell in ounces but if that's not where the market is at then I'll have a look on the market and see what the going rate is for smaller bits.

Like Limitless pointed out, use double vacuum seal . Also, I would recommended using padded envelopes with piece of paper between the bud. As you're a new vendor, you should sell small amounts first to build up your rep to lift the 3 day finalize block SR puts on new vendors. It usually takes one or two days for mail to arrive in UK and it sucks having to wait 3 days before money can flow into your account, especially if you're going to sell in ounces.  As for people who are asking you for sativas, have you tried Powerplant? It takes 60-70 days to flower and it is extremely easy to grow with a very decent yield.

Those buds looks delicious, looking forward to smoking those babies.  :D When do you think your stuff be up on SR?

Yea mate, it will be double vac all the way, I had intended using padded envelopes anyways and I'll use paper also. With regards to samples, I'll list the samples on my seller account so that I can build my rep using that and of course I'll start small until I'm comfortable with the whole process. I'll get some bitcoin into my new account tomorrow and I'll pay the fee so I can upgrade to a sellers account so my stuff should be up on silk road very soon.

Powerplant!  I've smoked it and seen it grown and heard nothing but good things regarding it. I also remember that has a nice fat budded short'ish pheno (for a %87.5 sativa) that finishes in around 65 days. Again i'd love to try it and won't promise anything other than if Silk Road proves to be a success for me I will try to accommodate people's requests where feasible.

Wow that weed looks fantastic, grown with care I see :P

Printed labels would be another thing to think about to avoid lost packages Silverback, I've seen some shoddy handwriting from other vendors, luckily nothing lost yet.
It's a shame that the sativas aren't good for business, I'll have to keep getting mine from Africa :P

Ok I've got my sellers account active and I just received my vacuum sealer, just need to grab some labels tomorrow and then I can get some bud out for samples.

having grown the mr nice critical mass a fair few times myself i would say yes its not a bad bit of smoke but not in the same league as some of the uk clone-only strains i.e pyschosis, real exodus cheese, livers/blues, tutti

any grower likes there quick finishers pyscho 9wks exo 8wks and stink and taste like no other just on a dry not even a cure.

If anyone wants to donate any of those cuttings I can guarantee that they will be grown to a very high standard and made available on silk road for competitive prices. Other than that I have a shitload of critical mass dry and ready and a shitload ready to come down over the next few weeks so it looks like all I can do is put out some samples and see what people think. If critical mass is not good enough for the road it's not that big of a deal as it's flying out the door locally.


Speaking of samples, what's the best way to go about this. Should I list some on my vendor page or just take names in this thread?

I would suggest taking some names from this thread. I would also volunteer myself to be at the top. It's a hard job but somebody has to step up.  ;)

Hi, sorry I took my time getting back, busy weekend and all that. Here's a link to my vendors page -  http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/719d5f7cc9 If people can message me on my vendors page it will be easier to make custom listings for samples.
