well come to the forums, dweaver!

it's now visible, after sun set in the west. it's bright (mag -0.5) but i never saw a tail because it sets, before twillight ends.
-
funny fact regarding snails, pretty much every snail has the spiral going in the same direction.
if you find one that, spirals the other way round, it's called a "king snail" and they are said to fetch a lot of money.
imagen breeding them, would be very lucrative.
very nice link!☺️

i'm mildly dyslexic, so i'm worried now regarding no 5, maybe the white dot should face upwards.
if any body knows for sure, tell us. there is a very old post about this, were an american member (a very famous cacti geek) let's us know this.
he plants loph seeds with tweezers.... trout his name is late edit
another thing i remember now as well is, if some seeds don't want to germinate, they at times benefit from being exposed to the sun for a few days.
now this is not an easy operation (don't cook them in the coin bag), and i have never done this. people secure the coin bag at a bright spot....
fresh loph seed germinate often already after 3 days only, older seeds (and not kept in the butter compartment) take longer.
i recently had given up on some seeds, and covered them with a thin layer of sieved mix, and they all came up after that.
i did not use a dome, but using a dome helps germination.
if you get lucky and you get an albino or varigated seedling, then the dome keeps them alive for longer, one has to graft them very soon or they die.

i do a lot of astronomy, so watch the sky a lot...
i noticed two, new types of what i believe are satellites.
type 1, allways appear from the same location in the sky, with maybe a few minutes intervals (never took time)moving the same path.
sometimes more than one is visible.
type 2, very difficult to spot maybe a spy satellite, as they a stationary (allways remaining at the same location) they shine like a star of 3 mag, for maybe 30 seconds,
and than stop shinning. after a few minutes they start to emit light again. visible, even late at night (maybe saw at 11 pm?).
satallites are visable because the sun shines light on them, that makes those lights of my type 2 very puzzling.
saw once an, ufo as a 14 year old, cylider shape with round "windows".

courtii, grows well and in many parts of oz, where other acacias struggle or fail.
i can recomand this species.

1, keep seeds always in the fridge.
2, sieve the top layer, of you seed germination mix.
3, never cover loph seeds with soil.
4, use only hydrophobic soil for lophs.
5, if obsessive, plant seeds with the white dot facing downwards, onto soil.
6, some people use a humidety dome for lophs, even for years after germinating (i would not).
7, learn to graft onto peres or pedro, lot's of info here on the sab forums!!😛
8, well come to sab!

some people claimed, scelly stopps dmt from working.
others say, it' added color, or even scelly is halucigenic.

i've observed the comet twice now, and it's getting brighter, might even get -mag!
tsuchisan atlas, can be viewed with the naked eye, at around 4.20am, low in the east (where the sun rises).

i have worked a lot with sceletium, but since the bust of ehtno (thanks howard and ch7 you low life) haven't done any work.
i think it could be illegal, as it can mimic the effects of mdma. but saying this just makes us realize how stupid howards blanket law, realy is.
the demand for fermented scelly powder is, not covered by production.
scelly has the potential, for a good income, for gardeners.
there are many websites, were people praise sceletium, after switching from ssri and snrs.
i never used ssri's or sceletium often, i don't like them, but one time, a flash of euphoria over came me, by using a special sceletium product!🥰
it's an easy cutting, and easy to grow, darrels plants produced seed easely. the strains before that, only produced seeds once for me in many years.
it's easy to grow many plants, and doesn't experience any pests....

nice subject fyzygy!
i noticed that, many weeds at my place, come up only at very specific times of the year, and sometimes hardly at all....
that blue flowering tree (name escapes me now) flowers as well, in a window of 3 months, jacaranda i mean (once i stopped worrying, it came to me)
seasons are less reliable in europe and other places too. it's upsetting for us gardeners, but a disaster for farmers, and lately they got wrong advice and were told "la ninja is over", but it wasn't. ai isn't as good as some farmers intuition....
at my location, there is no clear pattern of rainfall, and sometimes no rain for months.
i want to wided this topic, how doe's climat change effect the seasons and rainfall, and the effects of the former, in regards of animal and insect kingdoms.
cycadas for example, they vary in numbers greatly each season, at my place. how is it at your location?
does you location produce glow flies? at my place i get glow flies, but only twice in 20 years! in europe, i can see them every season, and allmost in equal numbers.
one time, i observed thousand of frogs, migrating to higher ground, and than a monster flood came. how do animals know that?
or how about the seasons in the uk? there you get 4 seasons and all in one day, hahaha.

makes me remember a movie, i saw on sbs. a glasshouse full of plant using mind control, on there carer.
nice topic, i know most south american shamans, sought either 4 cornered specimens and many cornered specimens up to 13 corners and more, but only uneven numbers.
i don't know if all pedros, have the abilety to form many corners. i've never seen this trait in cultivation.

this is interesting, and inspires...
do you know, if adding gabba, would be a pathway?
i don't know if it got mentioned in this thread, so i repeat what i was told (and sparked my kefir interest) water kefir might facilitate, blood brain barrier, transfere.
in other words, it might help, some substances, which can't cross, to be able to achive this task. this is potentially dangerous i say, as the bbb is ther for a good reason to protect us. however imagen a phamaceutical which can't cross the bbb, do be able to do, so to varying degree.
this would help to fight disease, making pharma more effective. putting some pharma which is deemed, not very effective, very effective.
now there is technolegy currently developed, which allowes, molecules to be directed to specific parts of the body (say for cancer treatment), but i think they struggled with bbb transfere.
hope this inspires....

herbalistic know there stuff, if they say it's peregrina, than it is, but it's new to oz.
vilca is around since ages.
growing a fast growing big tree, in pots and shelter, will not work for long.
they are about 3 to 4 m tall when fruiting the first time, if kept in a pot, they are highly unlikely to ever set seeds.
the plant in the photo could be 2 weeks old only, it's the fastest growing seedling i ever grew, it will not like it to be kept in small spaces.

i'm now 63, learned guitar since i was 14, making music is the single best thing which ever happend to me.

the sanguinea is very frost hardy, surviving even in scotland and england very well. the yellow flower that looks like a sanguinea is as well very frost hardy, but i don't remeber it's name now, it's very rare, never seen it in oz.....
all the others are more sensitive to the cold.
-
seeds are produced in oz, and i knew claims of them growing well. i can not confirm this.
-
peregrina would be yopo, i never heard of it growing in oz.
vilca is very common, grows fast in a big tree.
i seriously doubt, it can be grown successfully in a pot and get seeds.
vilca started producing seeds after 4 years or so, but it grew so big i had to cull it, it was too much work and took over too much space, and my place is big....
borers attacked the seed pods, so sometimes most pods did not produce.
if i were you, i would guerilla farm this tree.

nucelar energy has been in the news a lot lately, what is your opinon?
i am worried about two things, that storing nucelar waste safely has not been worked out yet, and that once, australia goe's nucelar, the rest of the world, will dump there nucelar waste, in oz, as oztralia is seen to, "have the right geologial features for this task".
germany is planing, to retire the atomic power generators, and we start with this flawed technology?
"dud" en, and other politicians, might have as well an other not voiced agenda, being that there own uranium share would go up, and money can be made by storing nucelar waste from all over the world in australia.

ok, big update!
a friend of mine did lend me two books about probiotic (fermented drinks) which inspired me greatly.
seems that some people use only sugar for the primary fermentation, and only add fruits (simmered down in a little water and sugar) at the botteling (second fermentation stage).
this would keep the granules much cleaner which could be a big advantage (fruit pulp is hard to seperate from the granules), but i still add fruit to the initial fermentation, as it produces a better brew.
my current batch had raspberries and a little sugar added at botteling stage. the book said the fruit sugars (fructose?) will produce the fizzyness of the drink and i agree. thats why i add fructose in form of ginger and citrus fruits to the first fermentation, already. maybe thesecond fermentation is enhanced, by already fruits beeing added at the first step.
i found out that the granules can be stored in the fridge (not freezer) once they have been cleaned, for a few months.
as well i had a bottle of second fermentation brew in the fridge for maybe 2-3 months and it was delicious, and a little psychotropic..
i have not yet experimented with ginger out of a jar, but reading suggested that water kefir granules don't like metal, and detergent residue.
what i observed, but never read about, is that water kefir seems to be able to keep fruits and ginger and galangel very fresh (it is conserved well) so maybe it's good to use the same ginger for several brews (i use ginger thinly sliced currently).
i still havent brewed by adding some of our "more beloved" ethono plants, but the fact, that the second fermented drink keeps very well, in the fridge for a long time, gives me hope it could work. in other words, i always thought the added organic would be in contact with the water kefir for a too short periode, to facilitate a transfer of active compounds.
my initial excitement, was brought on by the thought that, similar like "spit kava" the granules would help to extract compounds.
i would like to add kava or withania to a brew, would be nice if it would work. withania is quite heat stable so one could add this plant, in form of a simmered water decoction.

one time i saw some footage of a rave in israel, and the young girl took a high dose of ssri's as a dance party drug.
i think, it's very important to talk to other people, with similar experiences, because like this we can learn and start to understand what might be happening.
i used to smoke a lot of weed, and when i took a break, the first 3 day's i took zyprexa. only a chance encounter with another human being, whilst being held up in a waiting room, made me realise that, zyprexa caused that suicidal feeling. never took zyprexa again, and never had to experience this "low".
drug trials are always flawed, because the tests are done by humans, with a certain mind set on hand.
it could be even quantum physics at play here...

same here, i hope all of this helps, ishmael!
as well i want to point out, that this thread shows how complicated and not as straight forward as some docs, this issues can be.
you are lucky, your doctor is good, as many docs, just presrcibe ssri's, without even checking for contra indications with other meds.
ssri's have now lost a lot of there "shine" as doctors are starting to find out that, it's very difficult for some people to stop ssri's and nsri's.
ethno people disscused this many years ago, glad to see the "professionals" chatching up, hehehe.
sorry for the slight highjack of the thread, but i want to add my own experience, with one point.
one of my previous doctors said (after i said, some people find it hard to stop ssri's, THEY ARE ADDICTIVE) if i give you a substance, than it's not addiction!!!!
poor imbecil doctor, i wonder how many lives he destroyed, but "feels" he's done soooooo much good!

they are very tiny, and hard to germinate. some traders seeds will not germinate.
there are old post's around wher people raised dozends of kratom seedling.
cuttings are a better source, to establish a plant....

Be very careful with 5HTP. I had to throw mine away yesterday.
i just add that i don't respond well to tryptophan either, makes me edgy, unwell.
i don't like ssri's either, in pills or the herb, but growing sceletium would be my choice for you.
capii lfts depression after one puff, but i don't know if it's leveling out highs.
topic starter you are experienced but naturaly all those suggestions have interactions with other drugs, which need to be avoided.
eating more fish can help at times.

temperatur is the factor, frozen = good, room temp = bad
