  1. BMT: Thanks so much for the reply. I now realize that top feeding won't work.I can make a tea from the organic nutes on hand.I'm quite familiar with PH pen use. Next Q ..about what PPM should I shoot for? under 2000 PPM?

    Yes there is a lot of controversy around coco use but I'm at my wits end as to why my plants never finish well.I always suspected root issues but don't know how to remedy.I'm now using 3 gal fabric pots, should I go to 5 g in my small tent? I'm giving your method a go and see what happens, its cheap enough to try... PS:I'll probably go with Wesco nutes to start for simplicity sake...

  2. BritManTooSmall 2.5x2.5x5 tent indoors  Mars Hydro 1000  watt led. (autos)

    I've been struggling for about 1.5 yrs to get thru a grow without any issues.

    I tried many of the 420 soil mixes locally and always have issues near the end.(autos) I suspected root issues.I'm keen to try your coco mix idea.I'm familiar with the Wesco brand as I've used for veggies before. BTW..I have a small fortune in organic nutes (Gaia Green) etc. Would there be any issues using those for top dressing for example? I need to do a little more research in using organic in coco medium. TNX ..you're a great source of info...

    thank you, but I guess it's useless to try those seeds outdoor ? they are only for indoor ?

    have you tried any seed outdoor or which ones would you recommend please ?

    I know that outdoor is not the best but I can't buy equipment now, so I just want to try some until I am able to grow indoor.

    thank you

     

     

     

     

    Good luck with growing outside here.Tried it a couple times. The heat,bugs and humidity all work against you. If you grew up here and have knowledge in growing outdoors then you'll have a better chance. It only took the 'leaf miners" a couple days to infest my plants...Moved to inside tent etc but now must run air con most of the day to keep the temp below 31c. No easy fix..

    Thanks and yes, I have looked into it all (actually all memorized lol!)  That is why I was kind of looking for "ways around" the way it is now with the changes.  Especially with Bill C-21 passing a few yrs. ago and with The Canadian Border Services Agency and Revenue Canada computers connected now.   They never had been connected before and people got away with living abroad for yrs. straight/on end and used an address in Canada to bs Canada Revenue.....but not any more!  Worst thing is if you are caught doing that now, all (government) pensions stop right away, you need to fly back and meet with Revenue Canada and figure out how much you owe them back + interest + fines!!  So if anyone is doing that now, they better have a bit of savings tucked away to cover their asses as they do check.  Thanks again!

     

     

    Yes I did that for years. I was living here in Tland and filing my income tax online using a friends address. As soon as I found out about the CRA/CBS connection I filed for non-resident status.I dodged that bullet. All above board now actually glad I did. Anyone moving here must get some medical insurance. My CPP/OAS are deposited dirctly into my local bank account before the end of each month.

  5. I'm a Cdn expat in Pattaya since 2004. To leave Cda permenantly you must sever all/most ties with Canada and declare yourself a non-resident. Look up this form:NR73- DETERMINATION OF RESIDENCY STATUS
    (LEAVING CANADA)

    If you meet the requirements then you become a non-resident of Canada. (If you wish to remain outside Canada) Your Cdn income is subjected to a 25% withtholding tax. Not done yet...then you can look up form  Form NR5, application by a non-resident of Canada for a reduction in the amount of non-resident tax required to be withheld. My OAS/CPP and union pension are now tax free with 34k income. There's a lot of stuff to cover so do your homework. I've done all this with no outside help and it pays off.Your medical will expire in 6 months so get a policy in Thailand or you won't be covered. Contact me if you like..Dave

    Thailand has a salary range for Expats of 24,500 THB (US$734) to 433,000 THB (US$12984) in a month. Its average monthly salary is 96,900 THB (US$2,904). 

    96,900 THB is the average for Expats.   Which seems low to me. 

    That's less than 100$/day. I don't know any expats that would work for that except a teacher.. When I worked in O&G the entry level was about 200$ /day. Chevron paid me 750$/day back in the day. I think most of those jobs dried up now. I know several expats here in TL who worked out of Thailand mostly in the middle east..myself included.The good old days.

  7. I've been locked out of my Lazada acct. for a week. Unable to contact anyone..The phone hotline gives a recorded message and hangs up. Chat is also useless. Does anyone have an email contact? The one that worked before has been cancelled.

    This is my pet peave with them. Shopee responds right away and fixes issues pronto.

    customer@Lazada???

    Perfect for anyone with a minor back problem, thrombosis, poor circulation or a slipped vertebrae :+) not.

    35,000 baht for the privilige of sitting on a seat that thousands of people before you have been farting on for years...where can I get one? 555

    There are a nuber of products available over the counter at chemists in the uk.

    I suspect that they are not actually liquid nitrogen but do the same thing, freeze the area and kill.

    I had to apply 2/3 times but did the job.

    Dont remember name but can google I am sure.

    Scholls has a product for wart removal available at some pharmacies. Works great...only a couple days for it to work.

    Full-time employees are paid 30 days per month, be it for a 4, 5 or 6 day week. 

     

    Regardless of the number of days worked. more than 8 hours a day must be paid overtime. 

     

    Countless studies have been done over the last 100 years for production work, and generally, after eight hours productivity goes down. 

    I retired from a pulp mill on the west coast of Canada. We switched over to the "compressed work week" way back in the 80s.The old timers didn't like it but eventually it was implemented and still doing it today. 4 days on 4 days off @ 12 hour shifts. The RCMP and nurses unions were doing the same. No extra staff required.Admittedly not much manual labor these days.

    I liked it because I didn't need to use my vaca time and saved it for Tland every winter. I had lots of seniority and benefits. With banked OT I could stay here for up to 10 weeks paid leave . PS: I still couldn't wait to get out and left as soon as I turned 55 to get a reduced pension and move here.

    Hey, but you admit you had a few fantastic years .........

    Most of my pals in the UK had ZERO fun years, and almost ZERO sex.

     

    Dude, you're a winner in the game of life, I doubt anyone enjoys the tail end of their life much.

    A childhood buddy of mine probably had the same sort of life as your pals in the UK. We were both just about 18, he got a job at a GM car plant and retired there 40 years later.I joined the Navy and never looked back. I got out after 6 years and it opened a lot of doors. I got to work overseas and travel the world and am now pleasantly retired here in LOS. I doubt I'd change anything if I could..

Klaus Schulz declared " ve haf penetrated haf de canadian cabinet. ouch. I left there in 2004 not knowing this would be happening. Am I going back you say? NEVAH.. As you say theres more freedom here, or at least the illusion of it.

    It is upsetting to have bought a brand new shiny gas bottle and then to have to replace it with a bashed up old bottle just to buy more butane gas.

     

    We have an old bbq cylinder.They said it was too old/expired to exchange but they filled it up no problem.I know it doesn't leak because I checked it myself with a Bic lighter.

    I'm thinking if I was a Thai guy working for low wages I'd think about this offer. They will probably make at least double maybe triple wages in Saudi. I'm just curious about the reason Saudi wants Thais when they have a steady supply of workers from India and probably Pakistan who I'd bet do and would work cheaper.

    A few years ago I was working in the O&G industry in Iran( Asaluyeh). I was working at a huge 4 train gas treatment plant.One day I happened upon a team of Thai welders working on a project. . By saying "sawasdee krap" I got a big laugh out of them. They were on a 6 month contract with no break to go home.They all seemed quite happy..I sure hope the got paid well. BTW at that place in time it was real close to 50 c.
