Cool... Well if you really want to, I'm sure I can find something for you to do.. I actually haven't picked mangoes for many a year.. Well and truly completed my apprenticeship there... No,, If you're a boss here, they dont let you lift a finger.. Very different to how we work back home. My old man works harder than all of them.. has done for years.. And the locals look at him likes he's out of his mind when he jumps on the tractor to do a bit of slashing.. We'll work something out mate... Do you like seafood? And are you an adventurous eater?

Ha! I dont think you understand what you've just agreed to!! We'll also delve into cryptic questions like, how many mangoes can you fit in a 40kg vietnamese girl?... (Just Joshin... maybe...) yeah, I'll second that.. Saigon gets a bit much for me now...airs too dirty...

No probs mate, I'll PM you my email address. I check it daily..I'll also give you my number.. If you pick up a sim card, (Cheap as chips and calls cost fuck all) you can call me. I actually live in Viet Nam. About a half hour south of Nha Trang.. Although so close, I've never been to Cambodia.. It is of course on the plans when I have some free time.. I run a family owned company here growing an Australian variety mango, the R2E2..And teach over 120 local growers how to do so at an export quality standard.. (not easy) So I live in a rural area of Viet Nam. Amongst farms and little markets..No tourists here.. just pure culture.. I love it.. It's made me learn the language quicker.. Tourist towns are full of english speaking natives.. I need to know the lingo just to order a cold beer.. (Trust me, it's alot harder than it sounds in a country where they drink beer with ice!).. Eating food off menus with no english whatsoever.. Clumsily getting through phrases with the locals that a 3 yr old can do with ease..Sending my son to school... It's freaky yet cool.. @ centipede.... As I said before, I live in Viet Nam, but for all the things you're looking for, i can help you here if you wished.... Like Cambodia, Viet Nam is full of exotic oddities and new experiences..And it is possible to live very cheaply.. Vietnamese carvings are spectacular! You could have some fun, starting from small trinkets up to monumental works of art OTC pharms... Yeah,,, heaps..just have to be gentle in your approach.. Street...They see a westerner coming and their eyes light up! but it is all available at all different levels of quality.. YOu really need to get a good vibe going with a local to get any goods... ex pat business owners are good too.. Dont act like a fuckwit loud, drunkard tourist who doesn't respect the local culture, and doors will open.. Drunken fool tourists are everywhere, and the shady locals prey on them! There is a very real difference in 'drunk tourist' quality, and local quality..... If you have any specific questions, pm me mate... Incog.. looking forward to it mate... Although I'll be, and already am, cock deep in mangoes, I'm gonna show you the unadultered, tourist free way of Vietnamese life. Complete with the safety of running amok with someone who drinks regularly with the head of police of the district...and is well known enough to be able to pass out in a restaurant and have a stranger take him home doubled over the back of a bike.. without the slightest raping of a wallet, or body...Be not afraid.. (maybe)

Hello everyone.. On a recent visit to one of my mango farms in Viet Nam, I came across this Acacia... It is diseased, but seems to be growing ok for the time being.. I have done a little research about Acacia's in Viet Nam... http://www.acacia-wo...ml/vietnam.html I don't consider myself competent in the slightest at Acacia ID'ing, so I would like the help of you wonderful peeps... From what I can piece together, I think I'm looking at A. auriculiformis... Can anyone help with a confirmaton or otherwise??? Thanks in advance..... edit... sorry for the quality of some of the pics

Well that just blew my plans for you out the window, I was gonna take you to a place where we get high, and shoot beer cans off hookers heads

Pm'ed oh nad-less one..

Hold on to your hat.. Wrong first post...

Sand is not recommended as you have to use alot to achieve any significant result.. The easiest way (adding organic matter can take months) is to use a commercial soil conditioner. There are products available specifically designed to treat clay soils.. Google is your friend...

Needs more metal.... These Swedes have been making my head move...

With all due respect to Assanges personal views on information dissemination, has he had any political experience? Would he know how to run a country? Is the majority of Australia smart enough to see through his recent tribulations? I would have to say not.. I mean, really, even though most of us would view the Australian Government with criticism, those very people are the ones who control factors that affect the citizens daily. Would you really want Assange to be PM because he stands tall against the man?, or because he is the most qualified for the job? I mean, sure, the man can hack a computer, but can he run a country? or will he inevitibly become a puppet of more powerful countries,advisors and party members because he hasn't got what it takes to run a country? It's very easy to look over the fact that being PM would not be the easiest job in the country.. We should only accept our countries leading minds to lead our country.. And voting for someone out of spite of the others, does not push us forward..

Interesting... How does it sound compared?.. Not a recording but the live sound through your amp? Also, what amp are you running through? I'm assuming it would've warmed up the sound a bit, not quite as tinny as Fenders single coils.. Any probs with 50hz hum since you swapped?

Curing is the process where chlorophyll is broken down. basically increase the natural flavours.. Important in producing nice MJ.. Heres a copy and paste from rollitup.. Now of course this relates to MJ, so some of the info is irrelevant.. But it gives you an idea of what curing does and some methods... Curing is a process employed to naturally enhance the bouquet, flavour, and texture of marijuana. Curing does not lower potency when done correctly, although poor curing methods often result in some less of THC. Curing is not an essential procedure, and many growers prefer the "natural" flavour of uncured grass. Sweet sinsemilla buds usually are not cured. Curing is most successful on plants which have "ripened" and are beginning to lose chlorophyll. It is less successful on growing tips and other vigorous parts which are immature. These parts may only lose some chlorophyll. Curing proceeds while the leaf is still alive, for until it dries, many of the leaf's life processes continue. Since the leaf's ability to produce sugars is thwarted, it breaks down stored starch to simple sugars, which are used for food. This gives the grass a sweet or earthy aroma and taste. At the same time, many of the complex proteins and pigments, such as chlorophyll, are broken down in enzymatic processes. This changes the colour of the leaf from green to various shades of yellow, brown, tan, or red, depending primarily on the variety, but also on growing environment and cure technique. The destruction of chlorophyll eliminates the minty taste that is commonly associated with green homegrown. There are several methods of curing, most of which were originally designed to cure large quantities of tobacco. Some of them can be modified by the home grower to use for small marijuana harvests as well as large harvests. The methods used to cure marijuana are the air, flue, sweat, sun, and water cures. Air Curing Air curing is a technique developed in the United States for curing pipe and cigar tobacco. It was originally done in specially constructed barns made with ventilator slats which could be sealed; a small shed or metal building can easily be adapted for this use. However, this method of curing works only when there is enough material to keep the air saturated with moisture. Wires are strung across the barn, and the marijuana plants or plant parts are hung from them, using string, wire twists, or the crooks of branches. The plants material should be closely spaced, but there should be enough room between branches (a few inches) so that air circulates freely. The building is kept unventilated until all the material loses some chlorophyll (green colour). This loss occurs rapidly during warm sunny weather because heat builds up, which hastens the cure. In wet or overcast weather, the temperature in the chamber will be cooler, and the process will proceed more slowly. If these conditions last for more than a day or two, unwanted mould may grow on the plants. The best way to prevent mould from forming is to raise the temperature to 90F by using a heater. After the leaves have lost their deep green and become pale, the ventilator or windows are opened slightly, so that the temperature and humidity are lowered and the curing process is slowed. The process then continues until all traces of chlorophyll are eliminated. The entire process may take six weeks. Then the ventilators are opened, and an exhaust fan installed if necessary, to dry the material to the point that it can be smoked but still is moist, that is, bends rather than crumbles or powders when rubbed between thumb and forefinger. Flue Curing Flue curing differs from air curing in that the process is speeded up by using an external source of heat, and the air circulation is more closely regulated. This method can be used with small quantities of material in a small, airtight curing box constructed for the purpose. Large quantities can be hung in a room or barn as described in Air Curing. A simple way to control the temperature when curing or drying small amounts of marijuana is to place the material to be cured in a watertight box (or a bottle) with ventilation holes on the top. Place the box in a water-filled container, such as a pot, fish-tank, or bathtub. The curing box contains air and will float. The water surrounding the box is maintained at the correct temperature by means of a stove or hotplate, fish-tank or water-bed heater, or any inexpensive immersible heater. Temperature of the water is monitored. With the marijuana loosely packed, maintain water temperature at 90 degrees. After several days, the green tissue turns a pale yellow-green or murky colour, indicating yellow or brown pigments. Then increase temperature, to about 100 degrees, until all traces of green disappear. Raise the temperature once again, this time to 115 degrees, until a full, ripe colour develops. Also increase ventilation at this time, so that the marijuana dries. Plants dried at high temperature tend to be brittle; so lower the temperature before drying is completed. This last phase of drying can be done at room temperature, out of the water bath. The whole process takes a week or less. marijuana cured by this technique turns a deep brown colour. Immature material may retain some chlorophyll and have a slight greenish cast. Taste is rich yet mild. Sweat Curing Sweat curing is the technique most widely used in Colombia. Long branches containing colas are layered in piles about 18 inches high and a minimum of two feet square, more often about ten by fifteen feet. Sweat curing actually incorporates the fermenting process. Within a few hours the leaves begin to heat up from the microbial action in the same way that a compost pile ferments. Then change in colour is very rapid; watch the pile carefully, so that it does not overheat and rot the colas. Each day unpack the piles, and remove the colas that have turned colour. Within four or five days, all the colas will have turned colour. They are then dried. One way to prevent rot while using this method is to place cotton sheets, rags, or paper towels between each double layer of colas. The towels absorb some of the moisture and slow down the process. Sweat curing can be modified for use with as little marijuana as two large plants. Pack the marijuana tightly in a heavy paper sack (or several layers of paper bags), and place it in the sun. The light is converted to heat and helps support the sweat. Another variation of the sweat process occurs when fresh undried marijuana is bricked. The bricks are placed in piles, and they cure while being transported. A simple procedure for a slow sweat cure is to roll fresh marijuana in plastic bags. Each week, open the bag for about an hour to evaporate some water. In about six weeks, the ammonia smell will dissipate somewhat, and the grass should be dried. This cure works well with small quantities of mediocre grass, since it concentrates the material. Sun Curing A quick way to cure small quantities of marijuana os to loosely fill a plastic bag or glass jar, or place a layer between glass or plastic sheets, and expose the material to the sun. Within a few hours the sun begins to bleach it. Turn the marijuana every few hours, so that all parts are exposed to the sun. An even cure is achieved in one to two days {(see Plate 16)}. Some degradation of THC may occur using this method. Water Cure Unlike other curing methods, the water cure is performed after the marijuana is dried. Powder and small pieces are most often used, but the cure also works with whole colas. The material is piled loosely in a glass or ceramic pot which is filled with Luke-warm water. (When hot water is used, some of the THC is released in oils, which escape and float to the top of the water.) Within a few hours many of the non-psychoactive water-soluble substances dissolve. An occasional gentle stirring speeds the process. The water is changed and the process repeated. Then the grass is dried again for smoking. THC is not water-soluble; so it remains on the plant when it is soaked. By eliminating water-soluble substances (pigments, proteins, sugars, and some resins), which may make up 25 percent of the plant material by weight, this cure may increase the concentration of THC by up to a third.
