    Fresh MG seeds

    i dont think these seeds store well in that regard they have a long viability but the profile degrades very very quickly the lysergides are produced by an endophytic fungus in the convovulaceae HBWR are magic for 3-4 weeks, good for 3-6 month and ho hum but active for well over a year. MG are the best to grow in any climate though as they are annual vines Ipomoea muelleri is a native vine that sets seed in one summers growth and can be grown as an annual too Ipomoea carnea is and easily overwintered perrennial with outstanding blossoms im striking up a few of these now too ill have fresh pearly gates seed in a few weeks heres a pic next season ill grow another kind to keep strains separate

    E. novogranatense availability.

    that genus is very much a weedy genus fats growing colonisers of landslides and forest edges self fertile, spread by birds attracted to the red berries The species is very rare in Australia so saying it wont be a weed because it isnt yet isnt good enough the strains around are colombian or javanese and adapted to the humid lowlands but as a species it has the ability to spread into much drier habitats as does trujillo coca as australias tropics get so mahhered by cyclones and are much more open and sunny than the equatorial belt there is plenty of room for novo to say it doesnt like the tableands is also just anecdotal evidence. in the end the plant will show us what it likes and not the other way around who here has tried cultivating syrian rue? would you ever believe it could be a weed? also Olives are an amazingly destructive pest. look at the adelaide hills they spread rapidly (by crows) and compete strongly. Dry out the subsoil preventing native plant growth theyeve been there longer than a lot of other places but with all the olives going in everywhere you can count on future explosions Pines are also very invasive and radically alter the environmnets they colonise some species are notriceably better off, like orchids, moisses and fersn but most are eliminated over time. they lower groundwater near aquifers that support native heathlands and cause their decline Australia has many many sleeper weeds. weeds that will take off when the chance comes along the introduction of the bumble bee to tassie and its inevitable jump to the mainland will make previously harmless species weeds and has the potential to facilitate the creation of new weedy hybrids as we grow such a slection of related genera in our flower beds just in one creekbank weve been rehabilitating we deal with the following weeds - not incl the exotic grasses and herbs camphor, large leaf privet small leaf privet, cadaghi, cassia, wild rose, blackberry, cotoneaster, 4 species of asparagus, brazilian pepper, madeira vine, chinese celtis, peach, lantana, ipomoea purpurea, 'freckles', elderberry, erythrina indica, willow, mothvine, mother of millions, cats claw creeper, jacaranda and duranta as far as a list goes its a small one, sites nearer the coast are often nothing but weeds and the list twice as long. australias doesnt have a weed problem , its a catastrophe

    Bargain D.metel in Brissie

    i cant bash bunnings too hard to spice up variety at the nursery i go to lismore bunnings and buy a large plant of something nice then go back to our nursery, split and repot many plants grow them on a few weeks and sell them off cheaper i guess this way your giving the walmarts a little, but taking away much more again

    psychoactive Alpinia Officinarum tea

    ive found that fresh root in the shops too wonderd about the difference i used to brew a 'coffee' of 2 parts galanga to 3 parts powdered red B caapi back when you could import it it was visionary. more so than capi on its own and quite pleasant
  13. on the money there bro its a hard ask of all ive ever had id have lost over half of it ive lost count of the times ive bought enokis to recapture them somewhere tween sharing, prints, in situ conservation , plates, tubes etc is the answer the in situ is great if you can. a large stump innoculated can be kept as living backup over the years it fruits mainating a culture library is an occupation in itself they are lucky in the US tha that there is a national one
  14. Atlantis = Santorini right? ancient maritime power high civilisation modern bathrooms etc proximity to greece. lets not forget all ancient civs thought themselves the centre of the world http://www.travel-to-santorini.com/page.php?page_id=372 but built on a volcanic island boom...like krakatoa this is whats left http://www.santorini.net/ im sorry but without the genetic and epidemiologic evidence to back up ancient contact it just isnt feasible when 2 human populations meet they always end up fucking each other, getting wasted and sharing stories/language/diseases i can see plenty of evidence that this did not happen lets take disease as an example syphilis is a native american invention influenza, malaria, typoid, cholera, smallpox - old world the story of contact can be dated by the transmission of these and the resulting consequences i think its far more interesting to look at the nature of reality and the possibility of distantly separated people , shamanic practitioners in particualr having shared experience and these unifying themes being the basis of civilised art, architecture, religion, language and script civilisations are similar cos they all come from shamanic roots and shamanism is as close to universla as the human consiousness can be

    Polaskia chende

    also unlike most cacti - mytrillocactus and polaski seem to lack the tolerance to glyphosate they go yellow and collapse over a relatively long period. discovering that was somewhat distressing sometimes the root survives and reshoots most cacti can be sprayed with impunity - even directly - their waxy coat deflects the poison ive used it to get rid of sorrels and grasses amongst ball cacti and oxalis and nut grass from trich pots just when i got used to using glyphosate as a tool i rediscovred the humble garden hoe - well sharpened - beats it for speed, efficacy and cost on most applications!

    Polaskia chende

    ive found myrtillocactus type cacti root well but it is true they prefer the hottest time of year to do so one peculaiarity is the tendency for cutting (laterals) grown plants to form a sprawling habit rather than the upright candelabra of seed grow plants i cant recal the name of this but its common to many plants incl rosemary, auracaria, juniper even cherries still it may make the harvesting of the garambullos easier..

    Polaskia chende

    I have a decent size one of these by seed is the best way but seed is a prohibited import i got mine as seedlings. i may have a spare one here at work, ill go look... no but we have 1 polaskia chichipe http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Cac...s_chichipe.html $6 plus postage if u need it it has some frost damage (-3C) but has recovered once repotted they are fast growers i recommend a 200mm pot with rich free draining mix

    Mosman Council Bans Smoking in Public!

    smokers are sociable creatures its a good idea to ban smoking in most public places but there needs to be designated smoking areas in the public sphere it contains the smoke (relatively) and concentrates the butts in one area theres no point moralising on smoking. it increases on average the speed at which death comes to you - but not always. and you wont live forever if you dont smoke blanket bans on behaviour ignore human needs the majority may rule but it needs to be considerate enought to ensure minority behaviour has its sanctuaries isnt that why we have parents rooms in shopping centres, licenced premises that serve alcohol and areas for extreme and motor sports. these all also accomodate self inflicted consequences that also increase rates of morbidity and mortality

    anyone have nonbridgesii dark exps?

    i quote teonan... "Most evidence ive seen seems to indicate that younger growth is low in mescaline compared to older growth. People seem to take the fresh cactus without to much worry of what the actual content of alkaloids is. As i said in the other thread after talking to some people about the dose of eileen they take or have taken its up around 1g of mescaline, I dont know too many people that would accept 1g of mescaline in its pure form. So nowonder they have hardcore times. Same thing goes with peyote and native americans, it would seem they consume more then 500mg of mescaline in a night, and mescaline is only like 50% of the alkaloids that means they are consuming another 500mg of other alkaloids. You guys have to remember these compounds are poisonous so do continue to treat with care."

    Dimethylate?

    its Dimethoate 'Rogor" its not a good thing to use very toxic However.... for prize specimens it can be handy for root dips for root mealies however you should concentreta eon ant control if you get bad scale and mealies as the fuckers fram them you can use far less toxic stuff to get rid of ants - which then dont spread or protect the suckers or to protect (its a systemic) against scale and sap suckers for prize plants eg brugs, or back on the day - kratty certainly not good to eat - however if you eat lychees or many other fruits then you are eating dimethoate anyway.... it makes the skin turn from natural red to the brownish red u see in the shops

    anyone have nonbridgesii dark exps?

    i have heard of 'adverse' experiences with scops too im not sure what i think yet of bridges flipside option 1 : maybe its you? sometimes we are going into a dark crisis and it flavours all we do option 2 : Maybe its because its too strong? with some bridgesii packing a punch of 6X the strength of regular pachs by equal wet weight maybe its a case of too much of a dose causing anxiety? at least this seem partofthe response with 'accidental' dosages by fisrt timers w/ eileen 'too strong, too hard and too long' are common comments but i know you are no noob tantra so ignore this if necessary option 3 : other components as auxin notes Personally i love bridge for many reasons but to say bridge is 'It' is a false end to the story sheer potency is less than half the desired outcome Experiential Quality and Vigour are the other 2/3 so the search continues 2% + pachanois do exist. One day i will find them
