I'd expect her to come home with me for that.

Agree, it's a hard sell for remote locations, and this house looks a bit cheap and rundown for that price. Few foreigners would want to live there, so it should be aimed at the Thai market.

With all the price rises everyone is broke ...... first thing to cut down on is eating out. I used to take the family out once a week for a meal by the lake, now it's once a month.

HLG 240 + Quantum board LEDs, around 5,000bht, covers an area of 2ft x 4ft. There's no other light worth buying IMHO. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/led-grow-light-hlg-samsung-lm301h-v3-120240320480600-watt-meanwell-driver-indoor-grow-light-i1541120030-s4105680284.html Loads of sellers .......... I have 2 of these, come with dimmers and hanging wires.

I purchased a 2ft x 4ft grow tent and 2x HLG 240s with Quantum boards for 12,000bht. That grew me 20oz in 6 months using WESCO fertilizer at 120bht/Kg. I'm not sure why you would be expecting to pay 74kbht. As for seeds, autos aren't that great an idea as they usually produce 1oz per plant. Fem seeds are the way to go, 1 seed then 10 clones from that seed. 600bht for the equipment to make 4 clones per week, what's the rush?

More space in a bus, and a toilet. Wouldn't want to do overnight Chiang Mai to Hua Hin (12-14hrs) in a taxi.

free food and a place to stay for anyone that asks. I used to live near a temple, at meal times there would always be a collection of elderly Thais walking there with an empty bowl in their hands. The temples feed many poor people every day.

Was this gold investors in Thailand that actually held the physical gold? Or was it just gold investors in the west buying bits of paper?

Why not, there's good public bus services. Bus from airport to the beach 50c (leaves from outside the local arrivals 100m to the right of the international arrivals) , bus from Da Nang to Hoi An $1. Those photos I posted were from just before COVID, as a Brit I didn't need a VISA so I went there a lot. I found AirBnB the best place to book rooms, plenty to choose from within walking distance of the beach.

Yeah, my Cocoa Red didn't sprout either, I've reused the Jiffy pellet with another seed. Don't delay the potting, the roots are likely already out the bottom of the JP.

Da Nang is a very nice family beach resort, clean clear water for swimming. Hoi An is a short bus trip away.

I looked it up as well, but still don't understand. Not surprised Prayut couldn't answer either, especially as he doesn't speak English.

Peanuts are an even more dangerous substance, they can kill you in a few minutes. Time to regulate everything, especially missionaries.

I'd want the TE .......... my quoted post has a typo, PH6 (not 6.8).

My seedlings will be sitting on the windowsill out of direct sunlight for a few weeks until big enough to start cloning. Not worth the expense of using lights. Once I start with the lights, 18-24 inches from the small plants and turned down quite low.

My kid finished Uni last year, she's getting paid 20k month + free air-con apartment shared with a co-worker.

I found it very dull, didn't bother after episode 1.

Never heard of PGRs before, but you're right I do use cheap WESCO fertilizer on my hydro grow. I don't mind and neither do the plants. Just out of interest, what nutrients do your growers use? Thailand banned the import of all the usual recommended products like Fox Farm. Couldn't buy them anywhere last year, WESCO was the only game in town. If I could find something better, at a reasonable price, I'd use it. But even now Fox Farm at 2000bht (750ml) Vs WESCO 120bht (1Kg) doesn't make much financial sense to me.

My 90 day report was due 2nd July. I did the online report yesterday morning (22nd), and it was approved yesterday afternoon (22nd). So it ended up being an 80 day report.

If the public messaging was correct the whole world would have died from AIDS in the year 2000, that was if they survived the BSE.

My local swimming pool charges 20bht. Don't drink LK, but do grow plenty of my own cannabis (free). As for rice, not much cheaper than chips (99bht for 2Kg) or spaghetti (75bht/Kg) as far as I can see.

Why not start your own thread, this one is about germinating seeds. Back on topic, After my 'rabbit attack' I still only have 2 germinated seeds I like to have 4 strains growing, it's all about variety. Wiang Ping is doing quite well for an unknown Thai seed. So far 2 failed seeds, 1 eaten seedling, 2 growing, and 3 more just planted. Can't wait to get to the cloning stage, I hate growing from seed.

Personally, I would have banned the silly posters and kept the thread open. I get slammed for my 'how to guides' from people that clearly don't know anything. I'm lucky, I know how to use the ignore' button.

The Thais I know generally despise foreigners who are stupid with money. Give a big tip and you are more likely to be publicly badmouthed than to be respected.
