I, we, never bought seeds before. Just saved from what ever great weed we had.  Those seeds you use, or saved if not spring.

Maybe the best what you can do. But if you have no male plants it's difficult. Possible with only female plants but not that easy.

Seeds last a really long time(1+ yr), even longer if you put in the frig.  Really not a problem here, but know people used to store for more than a few months, until the spring thaw.

But do you know how the store where you bought the seeds stored them and for how long?

I bought seeds from RQS, zamnesia, Samenwahl and others and had some really bad and expensive  experiences where from 10 seeds not one germinated.

And they will not honor their "germination guarantee".

It will always be your fault.

Yes, at 250bht a seed I want a 100% germination rate as I only buy one female seed then clone. Planting in soil is much harder and wastes a lot of seeds. 

 

You will never achieve a 100% germination rate in the long run because the older the seeds the more difficult it is to germinate them. It is also important how they were stored. It really helps to soak them for 30-60 minutes in 3% hydrogen peroxide before putting them in a germination medium. Here are some links regarding germination because there are several methods:

That gives you enough room for 2 large plants (sea of green), total yield 2-4oz.

Isn't the idea behind the concept of " sea of green" that you grow many very small plants( with your available space maybe 15-20 plants)?If you grow the necessary plants from seeds it can become very expensive because you will need 15-20 seeds .  The advantage is the the grow phase is relatively short ( 15-20 days instead of 40-60)  If you use cuttings you will need another tent and light for the mother plant. Or do you mean " scrog/ screen of green) where you train the plants to grow through a net? With this method 2 plants with your available space sounds doable. Normally you should produce between 80-100 gr per plant.

I think it is the other way round:

 

Real value beats monetary value - the threat of inflation is causing many to take refuge in property assets .

Anyone with debt, on the other hand, such as a mortgage, or who has invested in real assets, has benefited.

What some people here don't seem to know or like to ignore is the question why Prayut is in charge, and why the coups happened.

 

If Thaksin and his little sister would have worked for Thailand and the Thai people then maybe they would still be in charge. But this is not what happened. Thaksin was very corrupt and his little sister did what he told her to do. They both robbed Thailand. And they are both wanted criminals.

Prayut did a lot of the work to remove those corrupt criminals. Thank you Prayut.

Obviously he is far away from perfect and I hope he will retire and enjoy the rest of his life.

And if the Thai people want an honest and competent government then they should vote for honest and competent politicians. Voting for Thaksin, Thaksin's party or just another Shinawatra won't bring progress. It will only continue the Shinawatra corruption and the division of the country.

And other Thai politicians are not corrupt, only the Shins?
