How long did it take for your plant to get that big and start producing? I bought a plant from a different site and it's tiny as compared to yours so I hope it didn't take too long. FWIW I don't know when it's best to pick them but they look like this when you buy the seeds retail which might be of some help.

I used to have a friend that went picking who was extremely secretive about his locations. He tried growing but was never able to keep a sterile enough environment so it never worked out and then he turned into a right dickhead and moved away taking his knowledge of where to find them with him. So yeah I haven't had them in over a decade but I hear that they're pretty easy to grow if you can keep the environment clean enough for them but that is infinitely easier said than done especially when you're first starting out. I'm about to start dabbling in their cultivation myself though so I'll be looking up everything I can from pftek I think it was to mass cultivation of commercially grown edible mushrooms and everything inbetween. You should do the same if you're going to get into them though if you need something dead simple cacti are where it's at. Plant them or throw them on the ground, water them or not, whatever, they're gonna grow anyway 3:30am is insane for the traffic to start. When the hell do those people sleep? It sounds like it would be a living hell for them so I hope you move sooner rather than later to avoid sharing their fate of being unable to escape melbourne while not being able to afford to even live there. They'll expand and gentrify the entire state until a 3:30am trip to work seems like the good old days.

I once consumed way too much shrooms and found myself on what I thought was the shell of the universe and it felt like my body was merely a 3d holographic representation of my energy on the inside of the universe. Interestingly since then I've found that that a holographic sphere actually has just enough space to describe the contents within perfectly. I can't prove anything either way just like that guy but at least I know better than to give a TED talk while talking out my arse.

G'day, I'm new here too. You really should move away from Melbourne as much as possible. Not only is it exploding into a massive shithole that drives everyone mad the bay looks like a wonky cock with pubes on the balls and all that's trying to bang Geelong lol Seriously though you can tell from the way things have been progressing that the city is going to expand out like crazy over the next decade or two. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if it extends all the way out to Ballarat and Colac on the west and Traralgon to Wilson's Prom on the east in the next couple of decades and at that point the whole state of Victoria is done for as a viable place to live. I was fortunate enough to only live down that way for 6 years and saw the writing on the walls, well stupid amounts of farmland being converted into housing estates, countless skyscrapers going up over 100km out from the CBD, etc. It was insanity on steroids and moving away from it all was the best thing I ever did for my mental well being other than shrooms. Speaking of which what are you into ethno wise?

Thanks mate but those pics were terrible. Photography is an old hobby of mine and those were rushed auto setting shots as I wanted to show a friend without putting much effort in. Now that I know the pics would be appreciated here though it'll reignite the passion I had to sit down for hours stacking macros and editing pics in general. It's terrible work but the results truly amazing so I'll show you something special soon enough Thanks mate but don't feel too bad about the size of your garden. I look at my bank account and weep lol

Edit: Sorry folks but they're now gone. Fear not though, it's unlikely ebay has seen the last of me while intoxicated lol

I have a microscope and am genuinely interested in checking out some spores with it. Obviously I've got no rep here just yet for trades but I do have cash which everyone enjoys. I'd like a few different varieties if possible as eventually I want to build up a large library of genetics with pictures, descriptions, etc. Even if you only have one type of print though I'd likely be interested as, with the exception of food only varieties, they're all bloody hard to come by! Let me know what you have, what you want for them, etc. here or by PM if you'd prefer.

I've got issues with ebay and intoxicated purchases so if anyone wants them I have two bulk packs (100 seeds approx) of (scop x tig) x scop I can give away as I will never have the room to grow them. You'd have to kill me for the third pack though lol While lurking I saw a guy once whinge about limited daily PM's until they got their post count up high enough so the person who wants them will likely have to message me if that's the case. I'll cover postage and all that jazz though so first in gets them.

I started building my cacti garden a mere 3 months ago when I found out you could buy san pedro on ebay. Apparently I've been living under boulders and not rocks my whole life. Anyways since then I've read up as much as I could about their cultivation and greatly expanded my collection to everything you can see in the second picture (though I am waiting on more to arrive lol) and have fallen hard for lophs and trichs in particular. Other cacti are nice but there's just something special to them (other than the obvious) that has bled my wallet dry. My favourite is trichocereus peruianus "david" from the 4th picture as it is so much more blue than the others though I do have a soft spot for the last two cacti in my pics as they've produced my first ever pups. I get grief by those that know me for being obsessive, overly excited about each new one I get, etc. so I hope you guys don't mind me sharing with you instead. From the looks of things though it appears I've found a new online home
