Glaukus

Alright finally think I'm done with this one. You can see it developed into something quite different in the end... Had to upload a low res, my camera phone makes all my pics around 10mb now.

As long as there's food for the mycelium to consume the patch will continue, it will spread outwards.

Hi brothers and Sisters, I'm looking for a plant of Cat's claw if anyone has one to spare? I'd prefer trade if possible. Many thanks in advance. G

Not scale imo. I'd do the same, get some phosacid. You can get it from most garden centres or the big green shed as "Yates anti-rot". Phosacid is a systemic fungicide but not a toxic one, it's quite safe.

I agree. There is a fungal issue and just keeping it dry won't fix it. Get some phosacid on it.

I'd love some infinity.

If you hung that as it is in an art gallery it wouldn't look out of place. I like it as it is right now!

Well its too bad That our friends Cant be with us today Well thats too bad "The machine That we built Would never save us" Thats what they say (Thats why they aint coming with us today) And they also said "Its impossible for man To live and breath underwater Forever" was their main complaint (Yeah) And they also threw this in my face: They said Anyway You know good well It would be beyond the will of God And the grace of the King (Grace of the King yeah yeah) Jimi Hendrix

If you're starting from seed you have plenty of years to read all there is to know!

What I mean is cut or pinch off the tips of branches to force new shoots out of the lower nodes. This will increase the bushiness. You could make tea from fresh leaves, but the heat will make the process of cathinone turning to cathine happen faster. And yes, young plants won't produce much - in terms of weight or desirable alkaloids.

Lots of threads on here already about this topic. UTSE. In general, Khat is best when fresh off the bush. The bushes will take quite a few years before they are useful, it helps to keep nipping out the new shoots to encourage bushiness, which also stresses them into production of the good stuff. If dried, do not use heat. Papers suggest drying for up to 72 hours at no more than 20°C will not significantly change the ratio of alks, but there's a lot of contradictory opinions.

I've been off coffee, booze, weed and my dreams are super intense and vivid again. Few nights ago there was some guy trying to extort money from my wife while I was away, we were at home and a soft knock on the door, followed by a sinister voice saying "hello, it's Brad again". I knew this was the guy so I raced to the door to confront him, but he was too strong and pushed me back inside. We struggled for a while and I woke up. Last night I was at some kind of celebrity event, and Myf Warhurst was upset at me because apparently we were supposed to be dating but I couldn't remember her name. We ended up as a couple, which felt very comforting. Then I was showing some tourists a valley that looked a bit like hobbiton in the Shire, only much hillier. I was trying to get home, but I didn't have a vehicle so I was running for 20-30km, and somehow missed my street. I ended up in a very welcoming country pub where I was greeted by Tony Abbott who wanted to have a beer with me. A lot of my friends were there and I felt kind of embarrassed that I was talking to him, but I also felt a bit sorry for him and thought it might be worthwhile to have a drink with him anyway so I did. Afterwards I was with some friends, and we were going out so we spoke to some boy, he left and came back with a bag of roast chicken, and apparently he had concealed drugs inside. Everything in this dream had a very relaxing feeling, I woke up feeling great.

I just watched a great doco on Netflix called "The last Shaman", it's definitely worth a view. It tells the story of a young man suffering from suicidal depression, and his struggle with modern life, which leads him to pursue Ayahuasca as a last resort. More than that though, it shows the perils of the Aya tourism trade, and what it's doing to the communities in the Amazon. I highly recommend it. It makes no judgements.

Was going to say that blue looks unnatural for fresh water. Reminds me of some of the mountain lakes in NZ, they have amazing turquoise colours.

I have been seeing a lot of poachers called out recently in the FB groups which is good. But I guess there still exists a black market for poached plants anyway. Most of the poachers just don't seem to understand why it's a problem. Education is key, but it's hard for effective education to be provided when a plant is considered illegal.
