@Siam_Sam - you are on the right path. ???? In terms of terms nutrients @stoner recommendation is good - the nutrient from Exotic Chillis Thailand is effective and well priced. Also Nutra Hydro is another local manufacturer and most people that use it seem to be happy. If you want imported nutrient blends you can't go wrong with Dutch Pro on their Lazada or Shopee store. Athena are here also but not that user friendly, imho. @BritManToo - which milk are you using to calibrate your meter?

Thanks, that put me on the right path. I think this should do it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TB9C36N/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3

I need one that pressurises a system to a PSI then shuts off, rather than does constant output in the case of a pond pump.

Hi, I am trying to find a pump that works with constant pressure like a a household water pump, but that can be turned right down to 10 PSI (most household pumps don't go much below 25-30 PSI from what I can see). It's not actually for a house, it's for a different application, but I thought somebody on here might know how to override the power on a standard household pump or perhaps know of another solution... Many thanks in advance.

It's got nothing to do with evaporation - once you stabilise the water content level in dry cannabis flower it does not change much. In a vacumn sealed bag that is referred to in the youtube video - how could it? https://sensiseeds.com/en/blog/how-to-increase-terpenes-in-cannabis-plants/ "In the first few weeks, the levels of cannabinoids and terpenes will decrease. After a few weeks, these levels will start to increase. Usually, around week eight, the terpenes are at their lowest during the curing process. But after the 8th week, they begin to rise again, even above the levels of the freshly cut plant." This is well know to just about anybody that has ever properly cured a cannabis plant. You are quoting Dr Bruce Bugbee from Apogee Instruments, I have watched most of his videos and read a few of his papers. Some are good, some are not. Primarily though his focus is measuring photons as that what Apogee instruments does and it pays much better than his day job at the university. I think you are referencing the time he talked about the 48-72 hours darkness before chop as being bro-science. This was then followed up with Chris on the popular Garden Talk podcast where he talked about this and how people started giving their plants 24 hours light a day for a week or so before chopping them to try to increase the terpenes just before harvest. However, he simply stated that he could not see the mechanism where giving the plant less light at the end of flowering would increase the terpene level, as you correctly say, photosynthesis (including terpene production) is driven by light. There was absolutely no testing or science and his statement was (very) surprising considering the sheer amount of people that did this because they had trailed it on their plants and found benefits. To be fair he did say that he thought that there could be a connection between the lights being off and therefore the room having a lower temperature during this time, which does make sense. However, he also said that because of a small observational study in Japan that in a blind taste test people preferred weed that had not been flushed over weed that had been flushed just prior to chop. Again, not tested other than a small coca cola vs pepsi challenge type thing that goes against decades of people flushing their plants at the end of the growing cycle to make the smoke smoother - he honestly comes up with some pretty weird stuff at times. He made absolutely no reference at all in the first video he did, or the follow up on Garden Talk, about the increase in terpenes that happens after about week 8-10 in the curing process (which again has nothing to do with evaporation). This has absolutely nothing to do with CBD and sleep being placebo affect - they are both to do with pain. Look - you clearly are into this subject and some of the stuff you post is interesting to read. But please quit making statements of fact unless you can back it up with solid research data. I would also caution you against calling yourself a scientist, you very may well be a World leading scientist in some field of research but in the field of cannabis cultivation and extraction you are very clearly not. All the best.

Agreed - hard science is what we need and in the case of CBD not helping sleep there is no hard science that says it doesn't - again unless you link to studies that show that it has been tested? Saying that you read studies and you are a scientist, does not a scientist make. As for terpenes: https://www.ganjapreneur.com/researchers-reveal-how-curing-cannabis-affects-terpene-levels https://youtu.be/y1n4OJTW0Lw Both of these links very clearly show that cannabis flower is biologically active months and capable of increasing terpene levels after harvest. Some terpenes go down, some go up. To say you cannot create more is totally wrong - it happens. I welcome feedback and debate but you are simply stating facts that are in some cases not backed up by any kind of research, or in the case of terpene synthesis you are simply wrong. A more useful and helpful approach would be to quote from well researched studies that clearly support your statements of fact. This is my last comment on the matter, over and out.

Here it is: Their testing said that total terpene content was higher at 16 weeks than it was when the plant was harvested. Must try that sometime...

I thought that terpenes kept evolving during the curing process (when properly done) with peak terpene being around 3 months from the end of drying? I'll see if I can find the video on the testing that was done, it was pretty robust testing and very interesting.

CBD isolate works pretty well for me but I often (not always) smoke a little bit of THC at the same time as taking the drops, which def does seem to help with the getting to sleep bit. Moreover, most people I have met say that THC gets you to sleep, CBD increases the quality when you are asleep, which seems to be the case for me. I googled CBD and sleep - there was nothing saying that CBD didn't help with sleep, there was just plenty out there saying it just hasn't been properly tested. Do you have any links to properly done studies that show CBD only has a placebo effect on sleep? Would be very interested to read that research. Also, I get my male cancer markers tested every 6 months or so and they have been going down since I started taking CBD daily, without changing much else in life other than a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil per day. Still drink far too much and don't move enough, sadly.

This one is good value for money: https://happylyfe.in.th/product/wellness-retreat/cbd-oil-sundara-organic-30ml/ For dosage start low with the recommendations on the packaging and work your way up until you hit your sweet spot. @stoner may also have some good input on this, he knows a lot about CBD extracts in Thailand.

Trying to get my sodium intake down due to high blood pressure. Sometimes it would be nice to get a snack from 7/11 or lotus Express that is low sodium, but struggling find much with the exception of fresh fruit, which I already eat plenty of. Any ideas?

And neither platform will let you block, for want of a better description, a specific (hopeless in your area) courier. So if you are in an area where Kerry, Flash or JT are having issues, which seem to be pretty common in many areas now, you need to ask the seller to not use that courier before you place the order. Headache. Having a great example of Shopee weirdness now. Ordered a computer on Friday, delivery was quoted as by Shopee Express. The shop said next day delivery so waited until 4pm then had to out, 4:15pm they called and we told them please deliver tomorrow instead (said in Thai by a Thai). Around 10am the next morning I checked the status of the order to make sure it was out for delivery and there was an entry in the tracking saying that due to unsuccessful delivery on Friday the item was being returned to the sender in Bangkok...! Absolute schoolboy stuff. The seller has given up trying to work it our with Shopee and resent it today with Flash, should get it Thursday. Compare and contrast with Lazada's own express delivery service - ordered some headphones on a lazy Sunday afternoon around 4pm and they turned up 10am Monday morning (although the product was in the Lazada warehouse as opposed to a third party sellers shop, so not really comparing apples with apples there)! Shopee do seem to have less English listings though and less reliable courier services, based on the last 6 months of buying from them. Both are good, until they aren't...

So So if you resign as a director, who takes over? Or it's possible to have a company without a director?

Does this apply to both shareholders and directors and what happens to these positions afterwards - they are left vacant?

Theoretical question. Lets say you opened a Limited company with a couple of friends that you thought were cool and ended up being both a shareholder and director of said company for a while. Things then went South and you need to find a way to remove yourself from the equation, but the other shareholders don't want to make it easy and there is nobody that can take over either role from you. I presume there must be a legal framework for this - does anybody know what it is? Thanks in advance.

No, I have another company with my work permit - this company does not need one.

No, the owner is not keen (I live in rented accommodation).

Hi, I have a company that needs to change it's registered address (current building is being sold), the company is active but there is no need for anything other than mail forwarding as the products the company sells are stored and dispatched by a fulfillment centre in Bangkok. There is no VAT requirement currently. Just looking for the cheapest options, Townhouses are an option but they seem to start are 10-12k, ideally we could find something cheaper than that. Company is registered for tax in Pattaya so would like to keep it here if possible to save the headache of moving to a new tax office. Thanks in advance.

I'm in need of a logistics company that can help with importing container loads of products from Europe - there are obviously many logistics companies but specifically I need one with a foreigner in the office that I can communicate with as some of the products require a fair bit of paperwork. If there are any logistics guys or girls out there lurking in the forum that can help please send me a PM and let's talk, or if you know of any that meet this requirement please post them in this thread. Many thanks in advance.

Didn't specify that

It is with KBank, according to their customer services team that I just spoke with.

She wants to be removed.

That won't affect me, no need for Burmese staff.

When I opened the bank account for Company A, KBank explicitly wanted my work permit. Might just have been an overzealous member of staff but they definitely wanted it. Hence my question. But you seem pretty sure that it's not required, so that helps me relax a bit, thanks for your feedback.

So here is my situation. I have a work permit on a company that is registered in Pattaya, lets say Company A. This is due to be renewed in July, but I will cancel this and get a new work permit on Company B which will be based in Chiang Mai (currently it's registered in Pattaya). At the moment my girlfriend is director of company B and is signing for everything as we set the company up. This has caused a lot friction and I really want to get her off as director at Company B and me on as the director so I can sign at the bank, customs etc. I have asked the accountant if it's OK to do this and he has said yes, I can be the director of Company B without the work permit. I will get the work permit in July anyway and could sort it earlier if needs be but it will be much more convenient in July. So, my question is will the bank let me sign as director of Company B if my work permit is with Company A? And the same with governmental institutions such as customs etc. Many thanks in advance.
