Weed in Cambodia

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Like the saying goes, if you want it done right do it yourself. Find some seeds. Often not easy, because they harvest so early the seeds are not viable. You may want to take a trip up towards Laos on your next holiday.

If I ever decided to grow 1 or 2 plants and the police came. The Fiancee already knows to just shrug it off and tell them it is for our soup. Look up the laws. Khmer can posses and grow ( although they dont state # of plants or quantity) to be used for cooking.

I found a little pot plant growing in the missus empty planter.... looked healthy. Guess I dropped a seed a nature did the rest. No need for trouble so I pulled it. Gave me a laugh though. She said she had been watering it thinking I bought her a new plant ( she loves gardening). Funny stuff there , kiddos.
I'll give ya 500 Riel for it...

Actually that is pretty funny. I've always wanted to give my mother a nice potted plant with a seed in it, see how long it takes to register...

I would advise at least 6-10, because 30-50% will be males. I usually toss all but one male, and save that one for pollinating one female so I'll have seeds for next time.

If you only have one plant it's likely, but who wants that. Or, do you think they're all hermes? Usually they are distinctively male or female.

You've never done this before have you?

Pull all the males. Grow the females and harvest what you need. You'll still get seeds.

You let one male grow, and you'll harvest some nice herbs for the in-law's soup.

Obviously you don't. I've been growing for many years. If you pull all the males you get sinsemilla.

Males produce pollen. Pull all the males, no pollen no seeds.
