Here's my examples of this cross - two are similar crest but the the other one has the really closely spaced ribs - and is putting out a very pretty little columnar - I'm curious to see what happens to the columnar section - will it go crested and I'll have a "crest on a stick" or some such thing? The one in the back started out monstrose, then went dichotomous and both columns are normal thus far.

Much respect to the members who made the camping trip such a tripped out tripper of a trip . You guys are true brothers and sisters. Thank-you and a big shout out to THCixx420for making the island available to us to play around in/on and for providing the canoes/pa/generator etc and general knowledge of the place for all of us to immerse ourselves in mother natures bounties. It was beautiful to share the tunes,laughs,food, time and space with all you like minded souls. cheers crew

Heh I have 80cm and 30cm plants (about to gift my 8cm baby), but germinating this guy from seed is of personal importance to me I found a reptile heat mat on ebay for $8 delivered... my thoughts now, based on your suggestions, are to place the a near-sealed plastic container with the seeds in sphagnum on a tile on the mat, and use a thermostat so that when ambient temps are above 30° summer 25° winter I'll trigger the mat on, letting the seeds cool relatively overnight for temperature fluctuations. Keep it moist, wait a few months, cross fingers?

I did not find this discussed here (using a keyword search) but suspect many have already seen this? If not, these two 'performance art' activists are worth watching if only to be amazed at their nerve. "The yes men fix the world" They also have an earlier one out also but this is by far the better of the two.

Sounds like you Melbourne guys know how to have a good meet. Im so jealous you got to play with the drifter for a whole weekend. .......no Im seriously fucking jealous !!! Drifting around in canoes with the drifter, double drifting you guys are greedy.

Ive seen an awsome set up to keep those scavanger ibis away, It was a large fake hawk, looked like paper mache or something with kite material for wings, it was positioned so that it cast a large shadow over the wall where all the ibis roosted and shat, once up I never saw them return. very effective. Heres one i found online.. http://birdsoff.com.au/scare-hawk-decoy-free-shipping/

I can't believe people are finding the no pour tek so hard. It's a piece of piss and it's definitely the way to go. Mix the liquids of your agar recipe, I use Stamets MYEA recipe (have tried others and will use them when ingredients aren't available). Mix in the powders, malt extract is best in powdered form, light malt, not dark malt. It's pretty much another sugar. No you don't want maltodextrin. Heat and dissolve the powders. Slowly stir in your agar and bring to the boil, keep stirring, it will boil over. Let it cool slightly, or not if you are pouring from a turkish coffee pot, with the nice long handle. Put sauce containers all over your bench and pour a good 30 of them. Leave the lids off, let those suckers cool right down to room temp. Then put lids on them all. I then stack them in towers of 8. I put each stack of 8 into a 80mm wide PP bag, I fold the bottom under and I put them in my PC. So I tend to PC four towers of 8, each in their own bags. Also, put your scalpel or pin or knife or tweezers or lock picking tool into a PP bag, add a drop of water and roll up, put that in your PC too. You could seal the bags up with sandwich bag twist ties. Let the PC come to heat until it's blowing steam with gusto. Then add the weight. Once the weight starts dancing set your timer for 60 mins and set the temp right so the weight is just dancing a little. After 60 mins, turn off the heat. Come back the following day to a completely cooled PC and carry it to your running hood. Open it in your hood and get to work. If you don't use all your plates, don't worry, they are double sealed from contams.

Well,as predicted the flowers are blooming,however somewhere someone posted an article mentioning that the Acacia flowers are; pro·to·gy·nous[proh-tuh-jahy-nuhs, -gahy-, proh-toj-uh-nuhs] Show IPA adjective Botany . of or pertaining to a flower in which the shedding of pollen occurs after the stigma has stopped being receptive; having female sex organs maturing before the male. Also, proterogynous. So I suspect I'll be pollinating manually. The rods that emerged last spring are in bloom,while the rods that emerged this past fall are almost to the point of blooming. I've got my tiny paint brush and am ready to go. It's disturbing how little information there is regarding manual Acacia pollination,

coolness.. yeah i've seen a ton of evidence that its genetic... but i've also seen evidence that the cristate germ or whatever can spread to a scion from a graft.... I wonder though if genetic could possibly be something to do with the plant packaging some of the infecting agent into the seeds or maybe even it changing the dna or something.. I know with Pachycereus Pringlei, the plant packages a bacteria with its seeds, which grow in the roots and help break down rocks in the plants early age to aide the plant with absorbing minerals in strange soil free rock crevaces... but im just wondering if there could be some simlar effect with monstrous triches http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachycereus_pringlei The plant I have which I think is like an ecuadorian pach that looks like your TPQC has absolutely no sign of anything cristate whatsoever, except a little part of a tip that didn't grow right looks sort like a blue chicken leg or something lol... I think its more like an ecuadorian pach cause it still reminds me more of kimnach.... it certainly clumps like kimnach but not to say its not just some random other plant... Beautiful plant and very nice monsters you have btw

Noticed that my grafted section of TPM x SS02 is starting to grow - woo! This is my mutant project - we have a T bridgesii cristata, a caesposita, and now this cross growing on the same pachanoi: And I potted up my favorites from 3 Australia hybrid seed batches I grew out: Super Pedro x J3: Super Pedro x Psycho0: T bridgesii "Bruce" x T. macrogonus "sausage"/(Yowie?) Also, anyone know what strain this is? I totally dig this fat blue peruvianoid from Australia - heard maybe it was "Sharxx Blue" or something? I got it with a a cutting of Roseii 1 and Roseii 2 - I prefer this to either of those I think..

Well if I had to live on an island with 4 A caapi, a phleb, and a nice blue bridgie. And every winter subs came up everywhere. ....Im not greedy.

Did I say i was finished? From Feb 1 and 2.

is anyone keen for a meet at mine?? we have decided we are leaveing perth in 4 weeks. So we've got bullshit amounts of plants to find homes for

No this is just a small offset that was cut from the first one that Hellonasty sold on ebay. The clone itself doesn't have a lot of spines but they tend to be bigger than on the other clone that has been around for a while imo. Myco I will eventually be offering this into the community but I will be propagating it heavily first and they will be grafts that I will be making available but I cant see this happening for another year or so I don't want to see these just disappear into someones collection or be a money making venture. These should be available to any one that wants to add one to there collection. If that makes them common so be it. Cheers Got

http://youtu.be/UzWHE32IxUc Song facts: One of the most misinterpreted songs ever, the lyrics are a scathing commentary on America's imperialistic attitude at the time of the Vietnam War. Despite a very clear lyric: "American Woman, get away from me," Americans often hear it is a patriotic ode and a tribute to American women. The Guess Who are Canadian.

sounds good endo, i remeber, t realy solicitated to apply very high temperatures, don't remeber the nummbers, but i would go hotter than what you say. if temps are too low, germination will take longer, and the longer it takes to germ them, the more they will wear themselves out. i guess soil temperature, of +35 deg C, by day would be not too much, use a thermometer to check soil temp. i'm a bit manic, so maybe i try to find the thread, i'm refering to.

Psychoactive ethnos: Banisteriopsis caapi Cannabis sp. Erythroxylum novogranatense Mimosa hostilis Nicotinia sp. Papaver somniferum Piper methysticum Psyilocybe sp. Salvia divinorum Tabernanthe iboga Non-psychoactive ethnos... that's a tricky one.

Coleus for colour. Khat for vigour. Passionflower for peacefulness. Ephedra for endurance. Caapi for calmness. Rhodiola for clarity. Loph's to learn patience. Sceletium for stability. Brugs for their beauty. And wattles for the ride

I've just picked some leaves for a couple smoke blends I have been working on. The Indian smoke blend consists of: Ashwaganda leaves Chili Leaves Gotu Kola flowers Argyria nervosa leaves Indian Basil leaves and flowers This actually turns out to be something of a trip, there is a lot going on in here. The LSA from the Argyria is definitely noticeable even in the leaves, but I think the real powerhouse in this blend is actually the inconspicuous Basil. It has a crap load of eugenol in it and is definitely a plant that I am going to be growing in mass next year after I get some seeds (it happens to be the best tasting basil I have found as well, with it's peppery flavor). The newest addition is the Chili leaves and I'm excited to see what happens, as a quid made out of the leaves that I'm using is just quite amazing, almost cannibinoid like and doesn't activate your heat sensors, so there is no burn. The South American blend is a bit less complicated and more just pleasant: Lemon Verbena leaves Caapi leaves Rustica leaves Stevia leaves This makes for a great tasting tobacco blend that I definitely feel the essential oils in the Lemon Verbena adds so much to. Again the most recent addition to this is the Stevia and I'm hoping it give it a pleasant sweet taste with the lemon. I love my plants, they are so good to me.

Today i put together a little green/hot house for some humidity loving friends. used the shell of a portable greenhouse and simply cable tied the shade cloth. it cost me $7 incl cheap thermostat that does humidity. Locally i could have constructed it with new materials for under $20 I'm sure, but im a packrat and had most of the materials. I use wet t-shirts and an evening spray to regulate the humidity and after 8 hours is running at 25C and 85% humidity during a 25C day (the hottest we have had this year d00d

One more point. Note that these data are divided into industry of education, not industry of employment. This means that if two people complete a degree in engineering, but one chooses to work as an engineer, and the other chooses to do data entry for a small company, not necessarily an engineering company, or heck, one might choose to work at Mcdonalds or Safeway, then they will still both be classed as engineering graduates, but their earnings will be significantly different. If you fail to see how this can be influenced by the personal choices of the individuals, then I'm not sure what more I can do to help you understand.

Often wondered if clover species mycorrhizal innoculants could be put to use. Never had the time to play with them, but there may be a good association amongst the variants used for different clovers.
