    Unusual plant blooming patterns

    I get this too, and whats weird is the worms indoors in a worm farm do the same thing, they will all be trying to escape.

    Mineral/Medium resources

    Heres some astros in that mix, with seedraising mix. Seeds germinated 14.5.16, i think one of em is doing something funny. 105mm pot.

    i cant comment on the coir, the seedraising mix is fairly sandy. It might be ok though. Most the coir ive used has been super acidic. Fernland is a good find, i wish i had the room for a pallet load of pumice lol.

    Thats right db. Although ive tried a few others lately ( loph, astro) including the seedrasing mix and I must say they are growing much quicker. But fungicide was required, without the fungicide i get pots full of fluff.

    Mineral/Medium resources

    I had alot of trouble trying to find those minerals in the stone eaters book and gave up. Atm for seedlings im using 1/5 scoria 1/5 zeo-clor 1/5 crusher dust (granite) 1/5 river sand 1/5 seedraising mix (for trichocereus only) All washed and sieved max 7mm, smallest 0.5 mm. Im experimenting with coral ruble in place of limestone chips as i cant find any, ive seen marble chips for sale which should work ok but coral was way cheaper. Also was thinking activated carbon might work, it has great porisity. I had good results with diatomite but its far to expensive. I'd love to try pumice but same deal. Also spongolite is another one to try find, its quite good. Works into a very airy mix.

    What did you do to your cacti today?

    Been working OK for me, got to wash it tho... the hort grade sources I've seen look a bit prettier. I haven't used it for large plants yet tho only seedlings and the small plants. last time I got some it was $17 for 15 kg

    myladyluck - Peyote Button Project

    I would be keen to see pics this is a 4 cm degraft it rooted no problem at all with peres completely removed. Its starting to look more normal everyday. From what I've read you dont want to go too much bigger. Ill be trying some bigger ones next year. I cant comment on the price, not everyone will pay ebay prices.

    Sowing seeds

    which fungicide did you use? had good results with fungarid, wish i had it when i tried the lithops.

    Sowing seeds

    yea, I've had acacias take months before. I've never covered cacti seeds as most need light to germinate, I'm guessing its fairly humid in the box. the cacti seeds love the humidity, I keep the pots cling wrapped and then those pots in zip-lock bag. But i don't have a greenhouse just dry old shelves in the shed... for now. I tried some lythops and they didn't seem to appreciate those conditions lol I had a bag full of white fuzz. I'd give it another couple weeks though, just make sure the soil isn't drying out.

    Sowing seeds

    You didn't cover the cacti seeds with soil did you? The acacia can take a while without pre-treatment.

    Turkey removes legal age for sex.

    So this is bat-shit insane!! How could that possibly go wrong? How on earth could the court be split on this? 7 - 6 in favour of sexual abuse. http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkeys-constitutional-court-stirs-outrage-by-annulling-child-sex-abuse-clause.aspx?PageID=238&NID=101607&NewsCatID=5

    Asclepiad cactus

    Which species are you looking for? Also they are not a cactus There a lot of different ascleps/milkweeds and i dont believe any species are called asclepaid.

    I suspect trump will win by a long shot. I dont believe hillary is healthy enough to be president nor does she deserve to be. Shes a piece of work she is.
