    sierra de la paila flowering

    Heat did something like that to a T. Peruvians cutting of mine a while back. Itd been cut lying around in the darkness of a shop and forgotten the sun exists. One side was baked to a crisp.

    Adelaide airport now uses body scanners

    Wow, what a job. I heard those pesky terrorists are recruiting a lot of Kiera Knightly look-alikes. Line em all up for the scan. As for me, ive already got foil underpants on. The article mentions its voluntary, they probably have the catholic policemen waiting to squeeze your nuts anyway.

    Ultimate Cactus Rooting Method

    It seems to take less than a month. I set a foot ish bit up at the start of the thread, less than a month later its got 10ish little root buds. Itd been cut, sitting around for months before that though with no hint of activity. George, your idea about wetting and drying to callous the cut sounds genius. Definitely gonna try that one

    Ultimate Cactus Rooting Method

    I just waited till roots had started to form, from then on the roots seem to grow faster in a medium other than sock. For initial root development though, this is top notch. I just had the cuttings lying down on top of my cupboard, the room is lit with two 8w compact fluorescents, not directly over the cuttings or anything. Average temp of 21 - 22 degrees. Nothing special about the conditions, the magic is all in the 'sock coir accelerated propagation sleeve' I heard SAB is about to start selling them, 10 bucks a pop

    Ultimate Cactus Rooting Method

    The cactuses are keeping warm with the socks over winter. "Combine and enjoy" I guess if you combine my method and baphomets video method, you get that scene from that tragic american pie movie.... with more prickles in your dick
  9. It may seem a little silly, but definitely works 1. Dry cactus cutting for a day or two 2. Inset cut end into clean sock, wrapping the area to be below ground 3. Put somewhere warm, dry and wait This process is ultimately simple and roots cuttings much faster than perlite seems to Happy cactusing
  10. Nice, thanks Alkron VVVVVVV gets a pachanoi mid section cut, an opuntia cut and a small rooted pereskiopsis VVVVVVV

    Drug paraphernalia sales outlawed in SA

    Boo! Interesting timing considering the story in the paper yesterday about the flood of pills entering Australia. It sure doesn't take much paraphernalia to swallow a pill. All this law pretty much means is that people will just use whatever is at hand to smoke through, rather than equipment that wont add its own toxic effects. Anne Bressington needs to realise that her daughter was almost certainly taking drugs to escape her overly meddlesome mother. This is all just speculation, but if I had a mum who in the future would ban fun for everyone in SA, I would be dead now too.

    What is this trich?

    So different numbers of ribs are just luck of the draw, rather than an indication of a sub species? Is it common for pups with a different number of ribs to be produced? There goes my quick identification methodology
