This is a pretty useful primer to get the basics from from one of the mods here To prevent unwanted pollination you can use some microfine netting (like the stuff you can use as a headnet to keep midges or other tiny pests from biting you so much), or bags that protect fruit from birds.

Recommend trying

I'm not into nitrous. Don't "get" it, personally. But I see a lot of people have fun on it. I used to live in a country where it was legal. At freetek parties/doofs we would legally obtain tanks and distribute balloons. Usually at the parties I did jobs like cooking food, selling beer, security, or just set up and break down. One night I found myself on nangs duty. At first I had fun learning how to fill the balloons to capacity without popping them. But then I realised that the adults were drinking, or using other substances, and I was selling balloons mostly to teenagers who would buy a handful, walk away, and come back 5 minutes later for more. They were more fucked up than adults on the piss (which, to be fair, is an awful drug too). I couldn't bear facilitating those increasingly pasty faced younguns for more than an hour or so, and handed my duties over to go and do something else. Nangs. I feel like if other drugs were legal/accessible, they'd be less popular. But what do I know, I don't even like them

Hi, I was just trying to get a contact for @MoonUnitBotanica who I had a delayed order from, but it looks to be all sorted now thanx to EG. Cheers!

Yep. Rosei 1x scop. Doesn't look much like a rosei to me.

Went out to try to figure out which one was my favourite and snap a pic, and found this guy guarding my macro.

sweet cheers naja. enjoyed your cactus pics, btw, but couldn't see the ones in the most recent post at a decent size... in your unearthed from kikuyu post, it looks like an eileen on the left, then a tpm, then a tbm, and what's the fourth cactus from the left?

Moved some plants from pot to pot to try to optimise space, since dropping by Bunnings apparently carries the risk of a 1k fine these days. Even without the fine, why does a plastic bucket with holes in the bottom cost up to about 15 bucks for the cheapest type? Seems a bit rich. Then noticed that this pach has some pale spots developing. Hoping it is not a virus:

I've used Slasher Organic Weedkiller with pretty decent success, albeit on smaller plants than these. Otherwise, maybe time to get out the weed whacker and lay down some material once they've been cleared to prevent (or at least slow) regrowth.

Cool! I got this as a cutting and its a known clone. I'm kinda hoping it is Rod. But the Rod's I've seen look darker in colour, and I don't remember aquiring a Rod cutting

Not a Super Ped unless it were sold to me under an incorrect label. But yeah, I realise it's a pretty long shot. I'll just have to keep wracking my brain for what it is. Thanks for the input!

Yo paging @Evil Genius ... no idea on this one?

I'll take that. 1 TBM segment with roots 1 small unknown pach cutting MB scop x OP seeds Catha edulis seeds Acacia acuminata seeds Acacia baileyana seeds Centella asiatica seeds Camellia sinensis seeds A couple of Psychotria carthagenensis berries

I don't have much problem with scale. If I get it, I'll be hitting you up for info on what type of hose nozzle to buy. My main pest is fungus gnats (I think its that). No matter how much I let soil dry out, I get these little bastards munching on roots. So neem doesn't burn the cacti? I might give it a try. I've got a neem tree I need to repot asap, hoping to make my own neem oil one day.
