Hi, I've got excess of the following for trade, preferably within WA, but the seeds could go interstate. I will be attaching photos for the plants to update this thread shortly. SEED - 50 x Obregonia Denegrii (gone) 50 x Thelocactus hexaedrophorus 50 x Strombocactus Disciformis (gone) 30 x Ariocarpus Furfuraceous (gone) 25 x Ferocactus chrysacanthus - v rubrispinus (gone) 25 x Coryphantha Echinus (gone) also more seeds than i have room to sow of - Rivea Corymbosa (gone) Ipomoea Heavenly Blue Acacia - Burkitti, Neurophylla, Acuminata v. small-seed PLANT - 2 x Rooted logs with pups - Pachanoi/Scopulicola hybrid (1 left) 1 x Rooted small pup - Pachanoi/Scopulicola hybrid very fast growing, thick plant. 1 x Rooted log with pups - Spineless Scopulicola (gone) 1 x Unrooted log with pup - Spineless Scopulicola Photo is of the tip I'm keeping, rooted log of the same plant to the right. nice looking spineless variety, really fat base on this one. 1x Rooted etoliated mid section with pup - Urban Tribez Bridgesii (gone) I cut out the etoliated mid section of this Brisgesii, its taken root and started to pup. 1 x Unrooted log - Pachanoi (not PC) (gone) 1 x Unrooted pup - Pachanoi (not PC) quite fat, nice looking plant, got it from a little old lady because the storms broke the mid section and crushed her front garden. 1 x Cuzcoensis in terracota pot Photo coming, main stem is 1.4m and has 3 pups, but has some scarring on the largest pup from healed black spots during the heavy rains. I also have extra grafting stock cuttings available (PC pach, hylocereus, pereskiopsis) I also have a few healthy Caapi seedlings, 3 varieties. One last thing, I could also consider trading containers of seedlings, I have far to many trichocereus seedlings, (Goliath, red spined Peruvianus, Koehres Scopulicola, etc....)

You are welcome texacana. Just make sure you don't grow them together or they will cross pollinate each other

Hi, for me the plant looks peruvianus too. The problem is that a lot peruvianus seeds are sold as pachanoi, so the seller sow pach seeds. I got 2 plants that i bought as pachanoi too. But after 2 years growing in full sun in my green house you can see that they are pure peruvianus. Let the plant grow in full sun and the plant goes thicker and the spines longer as now. Regards from Germany.

Will be updating list shortly just reorganizing seeds now.

Hey Wert, I rolled a 12T truck and trailer back in 2006. Wasn't much fun to say the least. Walked away from it (don't know how) but muscle pain in back and neck was a never ending nightmare, reoccurring for years. Still has its moments. Anti inflam and other stuff took the edge off but found the most effective was routinely doing squats and other compound exercises. definitely better when lift regularly. Sounds like some fitness bullshit but i guess it built up the other muscles around the damaged ones. Ask your doc before you go deadlifting the shit out of your pot plant collection. Theres my two bob. SJack

What it will require is for Rupert Murdoch to endorse it and get all his fine media outlets to start singing the praises. Once that happens it's a done deal. Until that happens I see a rocky road for legalisation. We all know who really calls the shots in oz politics.

This isn't so much about what to write, but how to write. Good work habits are really, really important. (By 'good', I mean it works for you.) To even get rejected, a book has to get written first. I'm not sure how it works for fiction. But for non-fiction/research, I've been told that, if you know what you are talking about, if you just sit down and write without thinking too hard, you'll produce material that is about 80% right - that's certainly my experience. The last 20%, where you polish details, grammar, punctuation etc - you don't need to be inspired to do that - be creative while your brain is fresh and save the super detailed obsessive drudge for later. If you are a morning person, write first thing after breakfast for a couple of hours - no email/facebook/twitter/SAB - then take a break before you burn out. While you are writing, don't stop if you make a spelling mistake etc., just keep going with the flow. If you are recovered enough to go back to it after an hour break, then do. If not, then spend a couple of hours editing what you wrote in the morning, then another hour or two of reading or research for the next day (if necessary). I guess if you are afternoon/night person, you would reverse that. If you don't feel like writing whatever it is that you are working on, don't spend hours staring at the screen to write one sentence. This will do your head in, and is a counter-productive habit to get into. If you find yourself stuck or blocked, take a quick break and write something else - anything else - it doesn't matter. You might find your creativity comes back once you are warmed up. Even if you don't get back to your main project that day, you've written something - which will help get you into the habit of writing. You want your body and brain to be habituated to writing at a certain time every day. This might not work for everyone, but it worked for me - on a good day I could churn out 2-3 thousand words in a couple of hours, tidy it up and then do some reading/pondering in the afternoon to get ready to go again the next day.

I enjoyed this, most memorable part was when the author makes a case for the coffee bean as an evolutionary catalyst. This is sort of how Terrence McKenna made the argument that the ancestors of Homo Erectus benefited psychologically and socially from ingesting psychedelic mushrooms, except its caffeine and not Psilocybin that initiates the great leap. It is an intriguing hypothesis backed up by the fact that fossils of some of mankind's oldest ancestors have been found in the same Ethiopian highlands where wild coffee trees first originated as well the proven heightening of the powers of cognition and expression that caffeine has on the human brain. So coffee, the drug that made us human? no wonder i barely feel human before my first cup of the day

In 2015 I was approached by 2 separate groups: The first, via a risk management consultant, were a group of doctors and investors looking at developing their business plan/acquire resources for the pending kickoff. Essentially they wanted to talk with anyone who has had anything to do with cannabis legislation, reform/activism re current perinent global trends/developments in the area, and potential resource (HR and plant) acquisition. The second was via another middleman, this time an internet marketing/optimisation mob, wanting to place articles and advertising banners on my site related to medical cannabis and businesses, both existent and in development. Both were Australian based aiming at the coming market. My feeling is that there will be a whole lot of swift implementation of a number of acts and laws that establish a number of private interests and government groups front and centre to reap the cream. Smoke and mirrors, and mention of "compassion" and "logical/right" things to do will start coming from our our most non-compassionate and illogical people. There will be questions raised by how it comes in, but I guess the hope is that the money will be on a scale such as to allow them to point at it and say "Forget about how we got here! Look how good it is!" Just because it will be legalised doesn't mean it will all be legit from the get go. I forecast distinct dodgyness, with a smattering of 360 degree about-faces, retractions and ridiculous attempts to establish an even more ridiculous bureaucracy around it all...

I am watching this one closely all the seedlings done now

That our politicians prefer this situation to one where we could grow the occasional plant or buy some quality-controlled & certified product - outrageous!

Excellent post Woodwoman, with the world fast approaching a food shortage, farmable land will be a valued commodity, I can envisage many heading back down the green route The more society rams society down our throat the less people will accept it devaluing what it offers,

watered and fed using aeroponic ferts and root gel in the mix added a few viridis cuttings to the aquarium.. added a few successful viridis cuttings to the 'rfb' under plastic fruit snack packaging trimmed the acacias , they just survived spidermites which are finally gone.. dropped self in it telling kids that you can grow citrus plants from supermarket seeds so saved 4 nice chunky grapefruit seeds to try some point in future and have a new mission of limes lemons and several different types of oranges , goodness knows where they're gna grow if not bonsai or something lol

If this little shit isn't here in the morning I'm gunna lose my fucking shit. Slugs are eating everything. Farrrrk meee!

Definitely looks pc

Looks like a standard pachanoi to me.

Just finished the tune and had a blast with the mechanic to make sure I like it :D :D :D :DDDDD Me liiiiiike. 286kw now with extra torque. Mother of Mary this thing blats and farts like Thor after a bad taco. Not sure what 0-100 is now but it'd eat some HSVs I bet! All from a 2.0L engine! Pretty economical when not throttling too - insert jokes about VW diesel gate lol... Got the paddle shifters, but I'm wary using them since I have to be ready in a split second to use the hand control in an emergency. I know there are manual gearbox conversion controls but unless I have to I don't want to do that. It'd be easy enough to get used to, not worried about that, I just don't think it would feel like a natural manual. All good though I love baby. My old golf GTIs were also incredible luggers, like one year 3 passengers, wheelchair, 2 guitars, 4 suitcases, various sundry crap, all fit into the hatchs. The new wagon has about 1600L with back seats folded down. Edit: rofl on the Prius. To each their own, but I"d probably rather sell my house and buy a Tesla than a Prius. Not very green of me but I do my bit in other ways.

maybe not check out this book https://www.magabala.com/culture-and-history/dark-emu.html "Dark Emu argues for a reconsideration of the 'hunter-gatherer' tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians and attempts to rebut the colonial myths that have worked to justify dispossession. Accomplished author Bruce Pascoe provides compelling evidence from the diaries of early explorers that suggests that systems of food production and land management have been blatantly understated in modern retellings of early Aboriginal history, and that a new look at Australia’s past is required."
