nut Posted November 30, 2015 I have been away for nearly a week and on my return I had that magical envelope waiting for me. Nitrogen your a legend, what an amazing thing you have done. The world of trichocereus and trichocereus breeding and growing has forever been effected by what you have done and I take my hat off to you mate!! I like my new alias as well, Sylvester Frankenheimer! I am getting these babies planted today, have never been so excited to sow a seed in my life. I have already been in contact with my people in the states and my people put me in touch with your people and I shall be sending back a little something to your personage in the near future. Thank you dude! I'm off to hunt some Peres down.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philocacti Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Update, all 6 crosses have ~100% germination rate Edit - there's a huge difference when germinating fresh seeds from fellow collectors like, nitrogen zelly ect and seeds from big companies like Koehres. At one point I started to doubt my seed germination skills. Now that I germinated good fresh seeds from both nitro and zelly (100% germ rate), I advice noobs to make sure they have good seeds before questioning their germination methods and soil mix).

Strontium Dawg Posted December 5, 2015 Just got around to sowing mine today. I gave some seeds away to another worthy dude as well who missed out. Can't wait to see what they turn into! I'm propagating peres like mad to do plenty of grafts, but I'll be leaving lots on their own roots. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mystical oyster Posted December 8, 2015 Yea mine didnt show up either. Many thanks goes out to you either way nitrogen! Cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolname Posted December 9, 2015 These were sown on 26/11/2015 Thanks again nitrogen. I noticed that the LJ x sharxx blue seeds took a couple of days longer than the rest to germinate. Has anyone else noticed the same thing? Nitrogens seeds http://imgur.com/f3JfzMW 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitrogen Posted December 9, 2015 Yah hopefully they all come through - in the 2012 giveaway some Australian letters took weeks to arrive.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarenna Posted December 9, 2015 Yea mine didnt show up either. Many thanks goes out to you either way nitrogen! Cheers Nor did mine - fingers crossed for a late arrival. And full respect for spreading the love Nitrogen. Respect. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mystical oyster Posted December 10, 2015 Yah hopefully they all come through - in the 2012 giveaway some Australian letters took weeks to arrive.. I purchased seed from zelly after you had posted yours, zellys seed arrived no worries, unopened. Hoping the nitro seed was opened and is just delayed.. very sad to not see them yet 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolname Posted December 10, 2015 Don't give up hope yet guys. With the last lot of seeds I didn't recieve mine until a week or two after everyone else, but they did arrive eventually 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ace1928 Posted December 11, 2015 Mine haven't shown yet either but I'm hopefully given the above messages mentioning delays for some aussies in previous giveaways Thanks again Nitrogen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone else noticed the same thing? Nitrogens seeds http://imgur.com/f3JfzMW That's funny because for me, the sharxx crosses are popping like crazy and the others are lagging behind! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitrogen Posted December 12, 2015 Yah my LJ crosses are still lagging behind.. TPM x SB and the reverse are doing awesome though.. -- Per letters not arriving - I mailed them to every person who PM'd me an addy. However, I know of one case where customs nabbed them for being E. scop rather than T. scop, which of course is absurd. So, they may not arrive for everyone, which is a pity. I will not personally be sending seed out to people whose package did not arrive. However in the big picture there are now an abundance of these seeds in the community, and I'll infuse them in various ways over time if need be - everyone will eventually have happy little mutant trichos trying to take over their gardens 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Visceral420 Posted December 14, 2015 So I'm pretty sure my package has gone awol. to customs...... Big thankyou and much respect to Nitrogen for his awesome giveaway regardless. So, if anybody who received there seeds is feeling awesome. I would absolutely love some seeds of crosses 3, 4 and 5 please! Have seeds or seedlings to trade. Have nitrogen's other crosses from zelly for trade too..... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubism Posted December 14, 2015 I know fuck all about Australia Post but I do know that xmas time is pretty bloody busy at post offices. Hopefully all the missing letters are just mixed up with the shitloads of christmas cards and stuff also getting delivered right now and will turn up in time for a nice xmas surprise. As for my seeds, got pretty much 100% germination except for lumberjackus x TPM which is taking a lil longer but getting there nonetheless. Thanks again Nitro!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much praise to our God of the Freaks!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolname Posted December 17, 2015 tpm x N1 http://imgur.com/gallery/kfoRF Here are some fucking sweet ass non monstrose tpm x N1 babies from nitrogens last seed giveaway. I think they are some of the prettiest cacti in my collection 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume mine are caught up somewhere too.. A mate got a letter from you and he said t cost you $10usd to post it. So at ~50 letters that's a mere $700-800aud dollars just to post these out. That's a huge effort, great work! If my letter arrives I hope I can read the return address cos you'll be getting a gift in return! And even if it doesn't can someone send me nitros addy so I can gift him anyways 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted December 20, 2015 howdy mates, Santa stopped by today & gave me a couple more bags of his seeds to disperse, so if you are on Nitrogens 2015 giveaway list & didnt receive your seeds, post in this thread to that effect & then send me a pm & I can hook you up with his # 1, 2, 3, 4, & 6 as well as 2 others he created, P0 x SB & P0 x LJ. atm, this offer is only good for the ppl who were on his list & havent received his seeds. The seed code is as follows:1. Lumberjackus x TPM2. Psycho0 x TPM3. Sharxx Blue x TPM4. TPM x Sharxx Blue5. TPM x Huarazensis6. Lumberjackus x Sharxx Blue Once this is hashed out, for any remaining Nitro seeds, I'll open up the Nitrogen giveaway to all current active sab members who were not on his list. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derkshaman Posted December 20, 2015 Hey Zelly, is it correct to assume that I would be aware if I was on Nitro's giveaway list? I'm pretty sure that I'm not on any sort of list, but I have strong interest in these seeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted December 20, 2015 Indeed.. I had no confirmation I would be receiving any seeds but would absolutely love to zelly. I'm just assuming I was meant to as nitro mentioned he sent em to everyone who sent him their details. Peace and thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted December 20, 2015 from post #646 above, available Nitrogen seeds will be mailed in the next few days to tarenna, visceral420, ace1928, mystical oyster, and theuserformallyknownasd00d ps: I save the tracking number on the customs form cheers 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
