    Hey

     

     

    For some reason i'm unable to upload my photo through a post or using the gallery.

     

    I just tried to upload it into one of my folders 'Mushrooms' and it created almost 300 images in the folder I was uploading it to that all failed.

     

    Not sure what's going on :/

    How can you tell which media you can trust?

     

    Is it the sites that say "This is what the MSM doesn't want you to know!"

     

    As far as i'm concerned I have no reason to believe anything Trump has said he'll do, much like every other politician i've ever witnessed that has spouted mouth words.

     

    Personally I find it better to read/listen to (unedited) Trump's interviews... they show a clearer picture of the sociopath he is.

     

    I don't see why any world leaders would be rattled by Trump, he seems like he'd be quite easy to control, most afraid people are.

    1) Amanita muscaria 

    2) annoying mushroom, has a hollow stem? not sure of the name and can't be bothered checking up lol :P

    3) Lactarius deliciosus (or one of the other similar types, i'm not sure, can see a little bit of concentric rings from the open one, either way i'd eat it)

     

    rest of your pics won't load :'(

     

    Sorry i'm like a month late, still be plenty of saffron milky caps you can pick, they're delicious!

    Hey

    I'm trying out something different tonight.

    I'm doing some grafts live on webcam if anyone wanted to check it out and have a chat.

    The chat is currently live but the grafting will not start until 7pm AEDT (Sydney time)

    I'll be grafting some jourdaniana, some misc lophs, some variations, whatever I can cut and salvage!

    (url removed to prevent confusion)

    It's on tinypic at the moment as the only other free hosting i know would kick me if they saw me smoking on webcam.

    Feel free to stop by and say hi, put a face to the name etc, buy me some lottery tickets or take pictures of dead flowers in brand new vases.

    If it wasn't for that bloody bong when I hit 18 I could have been a dropkick retail worker for the rest of my life...

    Suppose different folks react differently to the herb

    I think the way to get people to stay in 'dropkick retail worker' jobs is to dose them out cannabis. It allows people to become comfortable about things that society says they should change.

    Personally I think all retails workers should feel bad about the life choices they make, they're obviously a part of a lower social caste than us.

    Seeing these motivational photos by distracted :):) a lot of questions come to mind..

    How big the parts ..

    When to remove the stocking../ do you keep them indoors till healed? /

    When's the best season to execute ?

    Do you graft on freshly made trichocereus cuttings or long time healed ones.. ?

    Can it be done successfully at the end of the growing season, on freshly made trichocereus stock and let them stay the winter indoors, to set roots.. or do you make the prepared stock wait till spring time and graft at the beginning of the new growth..

    Freshly growing tips will give the best strike rate. If you use logs or such the vascular core of the stock can rescind away from the graft separating the two parts that you need to fuse together.

    You can probably use whatever width you want for the logs really. You can see in my photo the stock I used was neglected as fuck. The minimum length i've grafted to was about 7cm?

    If the cuts are unrooted don't expect graft growth in the first year as your plant will be focusing it's energy on sending out roots to secure long-term growth.

    Graft anytime the stock is actively growing. As soon as you see new growth you can graft.

    I'm usually a lazy grafter, i'll graft at the end of the growing season once all my grafts pups have grown to a reasonable size. This'll also allow the graft to settle in completely so by the time the growing season has started they'll hit the ground running(unscientific observation, could be wrong)

    I leave them in stockings for 4-6 days depending on how confident I am with them. I'll then leave them indoors for another week or so again until i'm confident.

    If the stock is rooted don't water it until you can see new growth in the graft.

    If you leave them indoors for 2 weeks or more expect etoliation, treat exposure to sun with extreme care. Ideally it's better to have them set in a 'sun room' or something similar that receives no direct sunlight and only partial filtered sunlight during the day.

    Some random newbie advice

    If you've done a whole bunch of grafts and all of them have taken except for one or a few you might think that you did the dormant ones wrong and want to degraft them to attempt them again. I recommend not to. In my experience more 'dormant' grafts have actually been successful than unsuccessful. Do not degraft unless you know 100% it has failed or it easily comes apart.

    Nowadays when I have a loph pup i'll cut it in half and graft both the top and the bottom. I find the bottom grafts more ascetically pleasing as the pups aren't crowding themselves as much.

    Have fun!

    I was tempting to make a thread from the pictures but i really liked the idea of the gardinspiration thread and wanted more people to post their easy ghetto projects :D

    I liked the ads and thought they were better than most drug ads.

    Who hasn't smoked up too much at a party, become non-social and wonder why they're even smoking weed at social gathering anyway?

    Home made greenhouse.

    Found some square pots that fit perfectly 3x3 into a milk crate.

    Put two on top of each other and side by side.

    Found some shade cloth, cable tied it onto the top milk crate and tied the top two to each other with some cloth hanging down the bottom crates.

    Easy propagation greenhouse, cost me $10 in cloth, took about an hour?

    I built this after moving into a backyard with zero shade and I wanted to maximise my space usage.

    Hope the pics are explanatory enough!
