    The 'Lemon Kush' my friend grew was 1/2 the potency of 'Critical Orange Punch' or 'Red Diesel'. But the seeds were very cheap, probably because nobody bought them a second time.

     

    If you're gonna spend 3 months growing the plants, why would you grow an inferior strain?

    Not all that keen on White Widow or Amnesia either, they also appear 'weak'.

    In this day and age I would say its impossible to judge what a "strain" will give you. There are no real IBL cannabis strains as far as i'm concerned so these strain labels are very hit and miss and if you plant 10 seeds you are liable to get 10 different phenos as everything has been crossed and back crossed to buggery. The THC % on a seed pack is generally b@ll@cks and one would only ever get anywhere near these percentages if you are growing in prime conditions anyway.

    Aircon.

     

    If it's ever legal to grow - I don't think it will be anytime soon, certainly not by aliens in their condo in Bangkok - there will be an oversupply of inexpensive herb. Not worth the electricity, hassles. I like bacon, I'm not raising pigs in my condo, let alone smoking/curing pork bellies.

     

     

    Yeah, I meant hot and humid for an outdoor grow... i would be using AC with a smart controller, same for humidity. Its been a while but I really enjoyed growing, not bothered by cost. I did it for around 10 years back in the uk, looking forward to hopefully resuming this hobby.

    Do you plan to grow indoors or outdoors? If the latter you'll probably want a local species (light cycle, humidity, bugs, rainy season). In fact you'll probably be legally - well not you as aliens will not be allowed to grow - and yes I know some have thai wives - mandated to grow one of the eight approved strains (well, eight for THC, and another eight for CBD). But the strain Issara 01 is 1:1 I think?

     

     

    Importing of seeds is amazingly legal, although that loophole is supposed to be closed with this new initiative.

     

    There are local thais who import seeds and resell them, all legal today. Both photos and autos, both feminized. FB, IG.

     

     

    I have only ever grown indoors and for me its a better choice as I can control the enviroment. Its far too hot and humid here for my liking. I prefer more "indica" leaning hybrid strains as I dont sleep so much. Anyway, I guess the Thai strains have a really long photoperiod and not really interested in autos

    Now would be a good time of year to starts.I'm looking for some viable seeds.I had a couple going last season but they got killed by bugs.

    Can we finally get our cannabis cup competiton underway ?! (still confused by the actual law) ... There are a few good seed banks that deliver worldwide, off the top of my head, I think msnl and gorilla seeds are 2 of them ????

    This one.

     

    This parsing of the word "extract" is irrelevant.

     

    Even hard-core pro-cannabis thais are not that excited, and many remain confused.

     

    The "Act" which was "signed" with great fanfare yesterday.

    act_translated.jpg

    It still reads as extracts to me which is not flowers and specifically mentions extractions ... I am only reading the translation but remaining (semi) optimistic ????

     

    Edit ... oh ! just read clause 2 ...optimism fading
