  1. Yeah it seems to take drought pretty well, I don't think I've seen mine droop once.

    Thanks for the offer on the seeds but I should be able to harvest some from mine, I opened a pod and they are there, just still immature. The seeds are tiny, there's hundreds in those little ball shaped pods that form after the petals fall off.

     

    Fingers crossed yours makes it through the winter, if it doesn't I got you with a cut next spring.

  2. Great, please let me know how yours go!

    I just soaked them in water overnight and planted in them in regular potting soil, then put the pot in a minigreenhouse on a heatmat. Took about 12 days I think.

     

    But next time I would probably try to stratify, scarify and/or boil some of them, because there was at least 10 seeds in that pot and this is the only one that sprouted so far.

  3. Yes I'm keeping the small ones in mini-greenhouses for the time being, but my established viridis and alba are just in my grow tent where it's pretty dry right now for reasons you know, and they seem happy they are growing.

     

    Apparently it can take a very long time for leaves to root and sprout if they are not in ideal conditions, like over a year.


  4. I don't know man these were shipped to me as is by an awesome fellow SABer along with all the other plants & leaves I just posted.

    I was told leaves root quickly (about a week) but it takes a while for the new shoots to pop up (couple months I think).

     

    I have put leaves of 3 different strains of viridis in pots to root today, I'll keep you posted.


  5. Not sure why, I'm guessing the previous owner might have harvested some of it. I intend on taking cuttings from it very soon.

     

    And thanks man, I'll keep the pics coming, I've been slacking lately I need to update my grow log.

    How old are these plant(s)?

    Looks magnificent

    I don't know exactly how old it is, I snatched it up on ebay for 12€ recently.

    I would guess it's at least 3 years old judging from the size of the trunk which was cut:

  7. Thanks, I was suspecting this is the case.

    So that means if you graft a regular cactus and somehow block the light on the scion it will come out variegated, right? I think some people on ebay use this trick to sell artificially variegated plants


  8. Thanks mate, I ordered the tape style but damn that mini fence looks awesome lol.

     

    I hope it works, last year I had tried tying some copper wire around my pots but it didn't deter them, maybe it was bad quality copper or maybe they were able to just avoid touching the wire, hopefully these large bands will do the trick.

  9. Haha yeah, but I'm sure you know the place Horse...Hear this little rap.

     

    It's blue,

    everyone there treats you

    like a newbie

    it starts with "shroo"

    and ends with "mery",

    It might seem cute

    but it's not too merry... :bootyshake:

     

    (Too much weed sorry guys)

     

    Their argument is that if people sell or trade stuff on the forums (especially prints), it detracts sales from their beloved paying sponsors. And I can understand that but it's the way they enforce it that's ridiculous.

    I don't think any of their sponsors sells pollen of anything though but fuck logic, right?
