Marley's Grin by Mephisto Genetics on day 68. Slowly frosting up and creeping into fade.

Got a new run of photoperiods starting as I have about 12 autos finishing up over the next couple of weeks. 2 x Tackett Genetics 'Balboa' 2 x Irie Genetics 'Lemon Jeffrey' 2 x Irie Genetics 'Purple Heart' Tackett is a craft breeder who is very active on Twitter and I've been following his progress. his genetics are some of the best out there according to growers in the US that I respect and trust. Irie Genetics was recommended on 'The Dude Grows' show on YouTube several times and they have been on my radar for a while. I am also subscribed to the owner's podcast 'Grow From Your Heart' on YouTube (his name is Rasta Jeff hence the name of the strain) and am a member on the Discord. His genetics are impressive with good terpene profiles and high THC levels which regularly hit 30% depending on strain. Seeds were purchased from Siam Seeds with the exception of the Irie Genetics which I got from a friend in the US. I am germinating these now also: 2 x Tackett Genetics 'The Manta Ray' (his only sativa dominant strain so far) 2 x Exotic Genetix 'Quikz' (I was so impressed with the Night Moves from this breeder that I will grow any of their strains all day every day) 1 x Sensi Seeds 'Jack Herer' (they are the original breeder of the Jack Herer strain, so I'm excited to get this one going) Happy growing!

I worked for a company that lost a radioactive source tube when the Montara platform burnt down as a result of an uncontrolled blowout on the Seadrill West Atlas in 2009, The same company lost another source tube out in the bush, same thing as the story you posted, fell off the back of a ute and was never recovered. ????

This is Thai modus operandi 101.

Buriram mafia have billions invested, and that's what it is really all about. Will be interesting to see what happens after the election for sure. Thaksin will still be out for revenge after being betrayed by Newin in 2008.

Yeh I went down there the other day, on the way down to cozy beach. Had a wee snifter of their products, not impressed tbh.

If you like craft-grown connoisseur flower, no mass production, no big farms, no imports and no PRGs or hormones, check out Siam Seeds online here: https://siamseeds.com/product-category/flowers/

Strawberry Gorilla plant in late flower. This is a sativa leaning hybrid from Fastbuds genetics. This was one of the flowers in the days before harvest. The finished product after drying and curing for three weeks. The flowers are potent with a euphoric buzz leading to a relaxing vibe. Really pleased with the results of this one.

Some people just can't grasp these simple facts. The Thaksin obsessives all over this thread again, and we have them to thank, in part at least, for the last 8 years of military misrule and yet they have the audacity to jump on here pontificating and suggesting what is best for Thailand. You couldn't make it up.

Bingo. What is good for the goose must be good for the gander.

After a military coup and subsequent junta? Are you serious? ????

The Thai Police will not be granted access to that information, and rightly so, as they cannot be trusted, but they could of course make it a requirement to enter, with checks being performed on visa application or even on entry. What a mess that would be. Police background checks are already mandatory for PR and citizenship applications, with the onus on the applicant to provide this evidence from their home country.

Except it wasn't because the rope snapped. They are so out of their depth with these kinds of OHS incidents. ????????????

Offshore safety is really poor here and it starts with the poor standard of safety training the guys get before going offshore, and continues with a poor safety culture while onboard. One of the safety training officers on one of the tender drilling rigs in the Gulf of Thailand was dismissed from his last company onshore for issuing certificates to clients without the guys actually attending the training. Let's hope this incident does not result in a hydrocarbon release. Damage to the guy, his family and company reputation already done though and it is always preventable.

You are applying logic and common sense as well as drawing on the education you received in order to competently operate a motor vehicle. None of that exists here.

They don't have the ability or the courage to do what is necessary.

That also goes for those trying to arrest or capture him. Patience is a virtue but it is very short supply here.

Some Thai official has read this and thinks it is a good idea.

They didn't visit any Lodges while here or I would have been aware. ????

???? This. Thai construction is NOT on par with Western standards regardless of what they claim.

Legend. Well done Steven.

Doesn't bother me as I'll never knowingly visit or drink in them.

The people of Thailand are fully aware of what is going on and would be a part of it if they could. There are many foreigners and foreign companies that get involved with this stuff too. It's very difficult to be very successful outwith this system in Thailand. Not impossible but very difficult especially when dealing with government agencies.

500-600thb billion in the red was the last estimate, then it all went quite for whatever reason, now all the news is positive.

No surprise. Having worked in the oil and gas industry here, I would suggest that 95% or more of the 'educators' providing training services, especially to the offshore sector, are not fit for their position. Many of them have no experience of the subjects they are teaching, and don't understand the fundamentals of vocational education such as appraising, assessing and quality control, nor do they care. It's all about money as usual, with no real understanding of the basics or the subject matter. My staff did a confined space training course with one of the government training centres here, and the exam in English was complete gibberish. I complained to the centre manager, who spoke very basic English, and sounded like he didn't have a clue either. In fact, he sounded as if he wanted to start an argument with me instead of trying to solve the problems. I have stated many times before and I will repeat here, the competency of drivers is very low here because of the poor education they receive to become licensed. They need a complete overhaul of the system, with a proper, disciplined approach to competence assessment for licensing. Perhaps probationary periods and limits on more powerful vehicles for new drivers too. It's too much hard work and effort for them, and Thailand is far too corrupt for it to ever happen unfortunately.
