  1. obtusifolia's dried & fallen leaves, soak up moisture from the soil, as they ferment and decompose, definitely exude the smell you're looking for. 
    same with courtii just must more apparent / potent.    never found that with simplex, strangely.


  2. you have done spectacularly well.     I just wanted to add .... courtii ... from seed .... I had planted them directly into the ground (after boiling water treatment and swelling) 
    into what was essentially bamboo chip mulch on top of red volcanic soil in northern rivers NSW.     never had a problem with them.   just keep wood ash well away or they'll die. 


  3. they were born from seed where they stand in bamboo chip mulch, which had a lot of blue shrooms in it, thankyou Winter. 
    Not chopped anything.   need to tho, if you want a tree you can sit under. 
    they droop all the way to the ground from as high as they can. 
    Most acacias don't look nice, and you wouldn't really want to sit under one.
    this one is the exception.  Please everyone grow this tree.

  4. easily 3 meters tall probably 4. 
    maybe 18 months old.  stem and leaves that have fermented as they dried smell like dmt. 
    and I can smell it when it rains too. 
    they look like they will be a lovely weeping willow acacia. 


    I just want to capture the smell for a black soap.

  5. this was twigs and leaves.  
    here was a jar of caapi once upon a time ... left too long, fermented, with the smell of those lolly-bananas / a sickly sweet beer? 

    it glowed ninja turtle wax bottle green under a small UV light from a 3v lipo torch from ebay

    And here i was thinking harmalas glow bright orange.   coz they do ;)

  6. A branch broke off an Acacia courtii during some rain.  
    pulled it down and left it in a tree. It had already died and semi dried. 

    Every time I walk past the tree the branch now hangs in, 
    I'm greeted by that beautiful smell acacias have become known for. 

    It seems to have fermented some, giving off that indole ish smell. 
    live harvested shade dried stuff does not seem to have too much of that smell. 
    but fermented courtii must pack a punch if I can smell it just walking past it. 

    any one had similar experience?   thankyall!

  7. this is probably resurrecting a really old thread,
    but any black wattle search in google eventually turns up this thread.
    soooo.... given this thread was started in 2010 ... and it's 2015 now?
    so we know which wattle that "black wattle" changa was made from??

    conurrens, decurrens, melanoxylon or meansrii, or other?

    im sure the internet would love to put this one to rest. thankyou folks!

  8. hello. can alkaloids be obtained from pyrolysis / dry distillation?

    could it better / easier than a STB or A/B extract?

    having seen the way folks make birch bark tar, struck me perhaps the same could be done with acacia,
    and refining a crude extract. does anyone one if this is feesable, worthwhile, possible etc ;)
    thankyou.

    ps im not a chemist ;)

    Cheers!

    ps: murika ... vote Basiago 2016
