Yeah it's the only pup this happened to, the pup was already there before the nitrogen feeding and it started pupping the 2 new ones shortly after. I've had some base pups on another cactus after the N feeding, and another one just had tip burn.

I don't see any damage on the pics mate, are you talking about the reddish tint the loph is getting? If so that's perfectly normal for a graft, the increased growth speed does that. Or is it the two little yellowish spots that you're worried about? This could be a nitrogen burn I've had it on trichos. If that's not what you're talking about I would still just wait and watch it closely to see if it gets worse, but don't degraft or nothing crazy it doesn't seem to be in danger at all.

I've had this happen (pup pupping two other pups for no apparent reason) when I was experimenting with heavier nitrogen feeding. What's the NPK ratio of your ferts? Here's an older pic of the cactus I'm talking about, the 2 pups have developed nicely since and didn't pup again.

Very nice garden! Here are my guesses in order: Psychotria viridis Ephedra (viridis as well?) Catha edulis Entada rheedii Pencil cactus (euphorbia cryptospinosa?) Some species of Ilex Acacia (my guess is either confusa or maidenii) Melissa officinalis ? Chamaemelum nobile Some species of raspberry (Rubus) Arrowleaf (Sida rhombifolia) Dandelion Silver wormwood (Artemisia ludoviciana)

I'll PM you, I'm sure we could work something out

This thread is gold

Wow what a great collection of acacias, great job dude! Funny you post that too, I put some maidenii, floribunda, longifolia and baileyana seeds I received from a sab member (thanks!) in pots today, after some filing and hot water treatment. I'd be happy to have even half as much success as you mate haha

Wow way to go guys! Those seedlings look gorgeous! Been hearing a lot about akuamma seeds recently as a kratom substitute, seems like a very interesting plant. Haven't had the courage and patience to have a go at germinating these seeds yet... But I'd gladly take one off your hands Thunder haha, I'll PM you see if we can work something out.

Hi guys, I'm trying to find some seeds of the following active Australian plants for sale and/or trade, so what better place to ask, hey? Please PM me if you have access to any of these. Ervatamia orientalis ("Australian iboga") Erythroxylum australe (or any other erythroxylum species) Galbulimima belgraveana ("Agara") Kaempferia galanga ("Galangal") Piper methysticum ("Kava-kava") Acacia adunca Acacia confusa (need to be sure the seeds were harvested in Aus and not Asia) Acacia phlebophylla Acacia simplex Acacia victoriae If you have any experience or info about these plants please post. Cheers

I agree but I think it could be a very dehydrated terscheckii, look at those wrinkles. The spines do look like the ones on my terscheckii, just imagine this one with the ribs inflated.

Haha well done. And for sure, I could trade you a cutting of mine for one of yours if you want but I'm pretty sure we have the same strain, yours seem to get more sun than mine though I have another strain which basically looks the same as this one but with bright yellow instead of the green

Very nice! Definitely looks like A. acuminata var. narrow phyllodes to me. I'd be weary of that cat though haha

Yes, I think the one you're describing is the most common cultivar, my 3 bigger ones seem to be the same colours. I also have one that looks like it but has yellow instead of green. I don't think the color or shape means much, the various colors were brought out by human selection but they all seem to be the same species, Plectranthus scutellaroides. The Plectranthus genus has many species indeed but it looks like scutellaroides is by far the most cultivated and the only one with all those nice colors. From the P. scutellaroides wikipedia page: "Plectanthrus scutellarioides is an upright annual or short-lived perennial plant plant. It may be as much as 1 m (3 ft) tall, with well branched, more-or-less four-sided stems.[4] Shorter, more trailing forms have sometimes been described as separate species, under names such as Coleus pumilus[4] or Solenostemon pumilus,[5] but are all now considered part of the very variable P. scutellarioides.[4] The species is extremely variable in the colour and shape of the leaves. They are somewhat fleshy, varying in size from 1.5–10 cm (0.6–3.9 in) long by 1–6 cm (0.4–2.4 in) wide, generally ovate in shape, and borne on petioles (stalks) from 0.5–5 cm (0.2–2.0 in) long. The leaf margin is divided to a variable degree. Hairs are present on both sides of the leaf.[4] The leaves of the wild species may be somewhat variegated,[4] but this has been developed to an extreme degree in cultivated varieties, whose leaves may include one or more shades of green, white, cream, yellow, pink, red, maroon and dark purple"

Hahaha epic story man, those are true survivors

I didn't know that, it's interesting, makes them even more unpredictable haha. I truly fear these plants, I wouldn't touch brugs or daturas with a 10 foot pole.Love looking at the flowers though. I think we need a somewhat scientific methodology to get to the bottom of the coleus myth. Maybe a crude alcohol extract would help distinguish effects from placebo, it should work since it works on pretty much any active plant to a certain degree, no matter if the substance is an alkaloid or not. I've also read somewhere that supposedly the more red on the leaves the more potent, but that's most likely bullshit. Still I've got some "Black Dragon" coleus seeds I'm gonna germinate, the reddest strain I could find, either way they look awesome so if it's bullshit I'm not even mad. And good catch Thunder, welcome to the SAB Foo Dog!

Gorgeous seedlings Pedropark! The amount of crests is insane, what seeds are those?

No idea, that's exactly what seems weird about the coleus trip reports online, their inconsistency. It could be something like with phalaris where alkaloid levels vary greatly depending on the time of the day you harvest it. It could be that only new or old growth should be used, or any other environmental factor. Or it could be placebo from the excitation of trying a new substance that comes from this crazy looking plant you read others had effects from online.

Just pick one you enjoy the looks of. The more I look into this plant the more I think its supposed traditional use is bogus, but it's cool plant nevertheless "The curandero also had several horticultural specimens of Coleus spp. growing near his house. Wasson has reported that the Mazatecs believe Coleus to be a medicinal or hallucinogenic herb closely related to S. divinorum (Wasson, 1962). However, Don Alejandro said the plants were not medicinal and his daughter had bought them at the market because they were pretty." http://www.sacredearth.com/ethnobotany/sacred/Sdivinorum.php This seems to also fall in line with the fact that Coleus originates from SE Asia and was most likely introduced to south america for landscapibg purposes, centuries after use of Salvia divinorum started there. Coleus might even have been a novelty at the time Don Alejandro's daughter purchased the plants.

We have lift off
