My clones humble origins...note the dried flower pods Rooted, after a couple of weeks outside... Starting to reach up... Not very long after putting it into a pot about 20" across Most recent shot of it flowering for the first time in its warm greenhouse home Close ups! More to come once these blossoms start opening up. I believe I read these are self fertile so it looks like I'm going to have a surplus of seed. The presence of non-placebo type constituents are abound Think this plant has a lot of potential especially working with fresh material and making sure mislabeled species are kept out of the fray.

probably QLD humidity related, it shouldn't kill it. Just let it dry out, if it gets worse hit it with some sulphur powder.

Yahoooo! The other photos are too big, I'll try and put them up somewhere I pollinated with a little brush, have no idea if it will work though. the flowers seem very rigid, kinda like plastic!

Well I may have what you seek. 3yo vine in a pot, recently pruned and bursting back to life. PM me an offer, I would only consider selling cause it needs to be in the ground. Pics of the mother ,currently in flower can be viewed, search for "Caapi in flower". Def need a ute to take this baby home.

The (vast majority of) people here have wonderfully warm hearts :D Restores faith in humanity after a visit to a shopping centre...

Great idea! This year I am stepping us my vege and edible herb production... I am doing it organic in soil and believe it or not the only good advise I receive is from the hydroponics store (illawarra has two, a legit one, and one who tries to sell you clones...). The independent nurserys I purchased the seedlings from are fucking useless and can't provide any relevant growing info for the techniques an organic approach I am using... Where as the hydroponic store has fixed my defiancies in growing and supplied me with a very well priced range of micro nutrients and foliar sprays which have turned my crops around. Give the a go, they have better products than bunnings and if u find a good one will help u out and let u take in photos etc and once again, properly Help u out!

Just received this interesting article though google alerts authored by Monica Barratt & Stephen Bright, which kind of answers my questions in my last post. http://theconversati...-cannabis-10386

Glad to hear seq folks got a decent show. I watched it from just north of Cairns and I'm already amped to go overseas and see more. Make it your life's mission to see a total eclipse, they're really that impressive.

Yeah I was only taking the piss about your previous comments on hybrids being a profiteering scam. It was supposed to be a laugh hopefully with you (judging by your LOL's it was) if not once again I put my foot right in it. "Trichocereus bertramianus (=Helianthocereus bertramianus) Columnar monster with stems up to 10" in diameter and 6'–8' tall. The numerous ribs are completely covered with many 2–3" white and yellow bristly spines giving the plant the appearance of having golden hair. Creamy white diurnal flowers. Grows at 12,000' La Paz, Bolivia. Z7b–8a" http://pastebin.com/AAjXt2Xn From the description sounds like something I have that I nicknamed 'Bertha', have no idea what Bertha is & noones been able to help me with an ID, but that description is better than any I can find for it especialy the diurnal white flower bit. Pics here: http://www.shaman-au...ha&fromsearch=1 I wonder where that description came from? How do you define an unstable cultivar stillman?, most cactus cultivars are propagated through cuttings so a hybrid is a hybrid until its mass propagated via cutting making it a cultivar, my understanding of it anyway? I was under the impression diurnal flowers were quite rare for Trichocereus but apparently this was a key delineating feature for the now superfluous Helianthocereus. Which reminds me that EG did try to help with an ID on Bertha suggesting possibly Helianthocereus poco which apparently does have a var alba as opposed to the usual pink flowers. I took the suggestio on board but felt differently as I have what I was told was a poco that apparently has pink floers & appears quite different. "At one time the Helianthocereus species also were included in Trichocereus—the tall-growing species despite their uniformly divergent habit, and the lower-growing ones irrespective of the fact that, like all members of Helianthocereus, they have diurnal flowers which are also brightly coloured; consequently there was continuing uncertainty as to where they should be referred. But here again, segregation has proved beneficial; and a similar delimitation can usefully be carried out within the Genus Trichocereus, since the flowers of the Chilean species, which in some cases remain open for several days, are also more bellshaped-funnelform" http://www.shaman-au...h=1

lol, did that come with a tag that say "ornamental use only"?

They're the ones in the punnets, I had more but had to leave some behind when I moved. They've looked pretty good since I separated them a little, I think I left them in the straight CSS for too long and they weren't getting enough food New aquisition I found yesterday:

at least you didnt do it on purpose which is what i thought when i first read the title , hopefully it will push out some suckers from the base and you can start again.

^ No fucking way!? That's so awesome if it's real. I'd pray to the gods to be reincarnated as a Mamestra brassicae larva. *wiggle wiggle*

if its true, it's because the more intelligent you are the more likely you will be to think about how messed up things are, how backwards society tends to be & how stupid the average person is & therefore need to drown your sorrows in order not to suicide. the dumber you are the more likely you will be to be ignorant & simply accept things & so not feel the need to self medicate. that's my hypothesis

Poor kid, i feel cruel even posting this, but then again, i get a kick out of Funniest Home Videos too. ... sadism ??? EDIT: not saying i get a kick out of people in pain,lol, but am amused at the injuries that occur out of stupidity.

lol, Quads!

Hmmmm, sounds like you got scammed, please dispose of your seedlings & grafts before you perpetuate the scam any further ;)

Earlier this year, there was an open letter by a Paralympian to Ann Coulter, about her use of the word 'retard'. It's pretty powerful reading, and expresses my opinion far better than I could. http://specialolympicsblog.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/an-open-letter-to-ann-coulter/

That is such a great video... very shocking! Well documented, I've always been a skeptic of chemtrails until I watched this video, then I looked up the weather modification patents, the U.S. operation Popeye in the Vietnam War, the document "Owning the Weather by 2025". Clearly the US govt has been very interested and indeed actively pursuing large scale weather modification for a very long time. After I watched this video a few weeks ago, I started watching the sky, and the persistent lingering trails behind some aircraft and stretch across the entire horizon are strikingly different from the non-persistant simple water vapor contrails I have known as a child. Add to it the fact that the metals being found in our rainwater coincidentally match the metals described in weather modification patents. Anyway today I noticed a very strange phenomena with a few planes trailing persistent lingering trails (chemtrails). These planes seemed to be a following line cleared of clouds in front of the aircraft. As the aircraft moved across the sky, there was an effect of the cloud cover in front of it being strangely cleared out as the aircraft approached. As far as I am aware there is no natural phenomenon which would account for such strange cloud disappearance well in front of an oncoming aircraft. I was able to snap a quick photo of this plane, as I have never seen anything like this before. The first photo is completely unmodified, and the second modified only with an arrow pointing to where the cloud cover was seemingly erased in front of the incoming aircraft. Looked like the aircraft was either following a marker being laid in front of it by an unseen aircraft, or the aircraft itself was clearing the clouds as it moved forward. Maybe volumetric shadow caused by the billowing chem trail?

I noticed the seed pod from the first triple bloom has a weird growth on it? like a conjoined little seed pod growing out from under it, is this normal?

I am going to wade in here with a few thoughts of my own. I am not strictly opposed to wild harvesting, so long as it does not occur on a vast scale and it is done sensitively. Why is that? Because, in order for someone to be not wild harvesting, they have to own land, and the ownership of land allows them to behave in any manner they wish, however inappropriate it might be. Also, when land is owned it is frequently cleared of native vegetation to make for whatever crop it is you want - perhaps it is acuminata, perhaps it is some non-native DMT bark plant. Why is this more acceptable than wild-harvesting? Especially in a society where not everyone can afford their own land, where the concept of non-wild harvesting also includes such environmental horrors as clearing away massive tracts of vegetation overseas to grow crops such as palm-oil? The situation is much more complex than it first appears and, legality aside, while I wouldn't be too happy if someone was making a vast fortune from wild-harvested trees, harvesting a small amount for personal, or small group, use, done in a sustainable, environmentally sensitive manner, is quite a different thing.

I find that this T's point is worth underlining - that folias often appeals to some kind of superior spirituality of his or plant spirits communication us inferior logical beings are not capable of grasping , when confronted in a dialogue. Appealing to owns authority. Its pretty, I must admit, pretty stylish too! But not logically or other wise valid. Previously in the thread he claimed in some point the plants appreciate his work. A similar style, pretty bolder, is found in Reptyle. I am a man who likes to question authority, and the notion of psychedelic theism, when certain ideological elitism claims authority on psychedelic plants matters, it always makes it questionable for me. I find a plant appreciates the work I am doing when its healthy and happy by my cultivation work. Its true that some plants are helped/not ruined by harvesting, its the story of grasses and grazing, I think, in evolution of plants... In fact, in many occasions pruning can increase potential and yield. That's why, in the matter in topic, I am not really sensitive when individuals harvest anything. Now, when masses do this, or the harvest is extensive and systematic , especially over small populations, then its another thing over all. And Yes, when I have over harvested from my plants - specially 'sensitive' plants [for propagation purpose in my occasion] , lets say cactus pups in grafts, so as to graft furthermore, often the mother plant has died - rot got in from the many and sometimes clumsy scars. Leaving many scars increases the possibilities of rot and other enemies harm a mother plant cut. I imagine this is a general rule... This is interesting conversation. cheers

I care not the motivation! If you didnt grow it...leave it alone. Did whole trees(that were not your own) ever die as a result of your actions folias? If not....harvest away......if so....bad karma for you Ive got a bunch of obtuse, floribunda and accuminata coming along nicely, that I will one day harvest(as sustainably as possble too) Use the trees in the wild as a source of seed and grow your own FFS! You might actually learn about the plants and trees, as well as the alkaloids in them! Do you care for plants folias or only the drugs in them?

this is a topic i truley believe if any one is a ACTIVIST and wants to see medical cannabis legal to help ease the pain of loved ones pm me will be organizing a rally for medical cannabis reform in Australia

I wonder what sowing seeds the night before a solar eclipse does? Sowed my mutant tricho seeds from nitrogen last night. hopefully they go crazy.

We drink to lower our intelligence because knowledge is a curse. (not me though, i don't often drink)

paradox, you beat me to it. thats my thoughts on this matter, in my case at least. another interesting part to this i think (once again in my case), is that after i have a few drinks, the emotion i feel about "how messed up things are" comes out. this makes me sound "very dull", and thus allows me to fit into my society. for a while anyhow. "the dumber you are the more likely you will be to be ignorant & simply accept things & so not feel the need to self medicate. that's my hypothesis" i have a so-called friend who proves this without doubt.

More on Sophora species: As qualia wrote in his thread, Sophora flavescens- root- extracts can be used as insecticide, which I've tried and can confirm One good Bio Insecticide- product is based on extracts from Chenopodium ambrosioides, Stemona japonica and Sophora flavescens with its active constituents Matrine and Oxymatrine It has especially good results against Thrips. Sophora flavescens- root (ku shen) is also used in Chinese medicine and newest research shows that it is one of the few plants which can be used against reflux and dyspepsia (like turmeric), because it decreases acid secretion, additionally it acts against Staphylococcus aureus. My mum tested it against dyspepsia and it was very successful. Also the constituents Matrine and Oxymatrine (both at 2%) act as mu- and kappa-opioid-receptor agonists and increase cholinergic activation, because of this, ku shen is a good analgesic. Sophora subprostrata syn. S. tonkinensis (shandougen) is also used in chinese medicine, contains Matrine and Oxymatrine (both at 1%) and is also a good analgesic. Like S. flavescens it is used in cancer therapies, against arrythmia, asthma, viral and bacterial infections and skin disorders. Sophora subprostrata syn. tonkinensis- root, sliced: The main effect of both Sophoras on the CNS is sedative in nature, effective against insomnia and as tranquilizer. Sophora secundiflora is the famous mescal bean, which was once used by Native American tribes as a hallucinogen. It is very dangerous and contains cytisine in the red beans. Sophora secundiflora- seed:
