Torsten Posted February 13, 2005 This seed was sold as Lagochilus inebrians, but I already know it is definitely not this species. It is the same species that is widely sold as the herb. It is also not L.cabulicus. I am sure we will work out one day what it is, but for the moment we will just grow it It should teach us plenty about L.inebrians.

Stonehenge Posted February 13, 2005 I'll let you know when they show true leaves if they look like mine. How do we post photos here? Stoney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted February 13, 2005 there's a gallery linked from the nav bar on the main page. then simply embed them with image tags. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonehenge Posted February 15, 2005 I tried doing it last night and got the pic uploaded finally but then my connection started getting wonkey so I gave up until today. This is a pic of my lago seedling. It was taken close to a week ago and the seedling is larger now. I'll post an update before too long. Stoney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted February 15, 2005 they are very fast growers! Yours seems to have a bit of fluff on it which is a prerequisite for L.i. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted February 16, 2005 this seed was fresh and did not need stratification. some older seed is being stratified right now as germination was 0% after 6 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marty Posted February 16, 2005 wow finally some locals with lagochilus! where did you get hold of these. I love growing shamanic plants and this would be great for my collection! Can anyone actually get hold of l.inebriens? Ive made a few orders from shamn australis and its great, all the seeds have germinated great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonehenge Posted February 16, 2005 I tried stratifying but got no better results than without it. I tried ga3 but none of them sprouted. I used 1000 ppm soln. There is very noticable fuzz on the plant, mostly on the undersides of leaves and stems. Mine is growing nicely. I planted the seed Jan-14 and now it has several sets of true leaves. I will post an updated photo today or tomorrow. Stoney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted February 17, 2005 if you have several sets of leaves then this might be the only time they can be propagated from cuttings!! mushroomarty - the real L.i. is a highly endangered plant and we will not be stocking seeds or herb of this as it is unethical. Most of the advertised L.i. is in fact one of 2 or 3 related species that are sold commercially. This seed is from one of those other species. I believe someone else in this community is putting a lot of effort into this group of species so SAB will not put much energy into it. We are more interested in the conservation of the real L.i. and will be making an effort there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thelema Posted February 17, 2005 was friendly's stuff inebriens? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted February 17, 2005 I've been trying to talk to him about that, but can't seem to get a reply. I believe it is supposed to beL.i., but my analysis of it clearly indicates that it is not. L.inebrians has very distinctive "crystal fur" along the stems, which most of the commercial products do not have (incl friendly's). L.cabulicus does have some fur, but not enough. I am working on a website that will compare the various species and products. We'll start with pics, then experience reports and eventually analyses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonehenge Posted February 17, 2005 Here is a pic I took today of my lago seedling. You can see the fuzz more clearly though the photo doesn't really do it justice. Torsten, are you suggesting I take cuttings from it now? I certainly wouldn't think of it at this delicate stage. If "crystal fur" is the hallmark of inebrians, then my hopes have gone up that this is indeed l.i. I like that phrase, I will be attempting cuttings after it gets larger. At the rate it's going, it will be big enough for that, in my opinion, in another few months or so. Stoney [ 17.

Stonehenge Posted February 17, 2005 It doesn't show and I can see no obvious mistakes in the coding so I'll try it as a link http://shaman-australis.com.au/gallery2/di...ge.php?pos=-337 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted February 17, 2005 Originally posted by Stonehenge: Torsten, are you suggesting I take cuttings from it now? No, sorry. Somehow your description conjured up images of a much taller plant. Rosette plants are almost impossible to take cuttings from. So far this looks like a rosette. When this rosette stretches to produce a flower spike you have sometimes a mere few days where sections of this stalk can be cut and rooted. Once it gets past a certain point it simply won't root and will continue to flower. Playing with light cycles may help this too. eg once a bit sturdier give it 10 hours light until it produces a bit of a stalk . then give it 24 and hope it goes back into vegetative phase. If "crystal fur" is the hallmark of inebrians, then my hopes have gone up that this is indeed l.i. I like that phrase, Fur is usually soft, but this stuff isn't. Crystal fur makes sense. The only thing I know about crystal fur is that inebrians has it. I do not know how many other species have it as well, but cabulicus seems to have at least some. For all I know maybe most species have fur. But if it is furless it is certainly not L.inebrians. Link wasn't to a pic, but to a page. I fixed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonehenge Posted March 3, 2005 Well, I still have no clue how to find the proper image url so I will have to post it again as a link until someone kindly shows me how to do otherwise. This is a photo I took a few days ago showing the increace in size. Stoney http://shaman-australis.com.au/gallery2/di...ge.php?pos=-357 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted March 4, 2005 I'd be happy to be wrong about the rosette thing. I don't remember where I got it from. Seriously, I am drawing a total blank. But I must have got it from somewhere cos its not the sort of thing I would have even thought of without some good reason. I'll try and remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
