    Next Tuesday Greg Kašarik will be once more appearing in front of the Melbourne Magistrate's Court, as he attempts to put Victoria's drugs policies on trial.

    This is a special hearing to determine whether the matter of his charge for the possession of LSD for spiritual and religous purposes should be forwarded to the Supreme Court of Victoria, under sections 7 and 14 of the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act (2006).

    You are invited to attend and in doing so to demonstrate your support for sensible drugs policy.

    All going well, the Magistrate will make the Supreme Court referral, but if not it is Greg's intention to be re-arrested for LSD possession at the earliest opportunity, because the first step in forcing change to our drugs policies has to be forcing the Government to acknowledge that their laws regarding LSD and other Transcendent Compounds are based on ignorance and bigotry, rather than the scientifically demonstrated facts of the reality based universe.

    After several attempts with different methods I found sitting the leaves in a glass of water is best for me.... Simply put leaves in a glass of water half filled in a warm spot out of direct light, misting every couple daya... after a few weeks roots are developed Enough to pot up and have no issues acclimatising etc... Just need to make sure the water doesn't evaporate....

     

    Different strains seem.to root more readily than others

    4 different soil brews, watered in with a very dilute organic liquid fertiliser.

    Thanks again rahli, super excited.will keep the thread updated :-)

    almost 2 months since sowing and I have one sprout :-) - hoping this is the first of many to germinate :-)

    for a few weeks I had these guys on the floor getting ambient room light and moved to them to get filtered t9 for a month or so(light shade cloth on top of container) light on a 12/12 cycle, closed container & venting and misting every so often, like once a weekish..... quite warm when the lights are on... i originally misted a couple times with dilute peroxide (~1.5%), and have had no moulds or anything which I am happy with being that it is a closed hot humid container for ~2 mnths :-)

     

     

    Any others who've received this last lot have any luck yet??

    looks like you probably have zelly/misplant hybrids @sagiXsagi - as for your PS... I have thought maybe the birdgesii is mother, however who am I to question the growers label..? There can be crazy things happen with hybrids i think, check out this fields pachanoi x pasacana (interbeing seed) that berengar grew.... would you call this pachanoi???

    or this one... nrivers grew this interbeing hybrid super pedro x huacsha... looks fucking sick!!!

    Thanks for your reply @Evil Genius, I appreciate the time! I have a lot more questions though.... ;-) Are all your colleagues growing t. scop/cordo hybrids etc or are you talking about Echinopsis hybrids??

    I dont disagree with your comments about hybridising, but surely every genus in Cactaceae isnt the same case??? For eg in my eyes a heap of seed raised spachianus would look identical to me, but my eyes see alot of variation in bridgesii. Maybe very stable phenotypes exist where similar types cross pollinate, but when different species are mixed surely all sorts of dominant and recessive alleles combinations could give interesting results (and also clues about heredity?? like red haired maori people???).. I just think that these examples arent as small a percentage as you suggest.. I am certainly unsure about the photos that arent  mine, but in my experience- i select a random seedling to graft, one that looks identical to the others, I cannot tell if the graft is unique or not untl the others grow up, but selecting at random and seeing variation makes me think less chance of it being a small percentage....  I am not talking flower morpholpogy here either I guess....  I just think that every case is unique and produces different results and with growers like zelly, interbeing, masterB  producing hundreds and hundreds of fruits, we  are starting to (and will continue) see some very interesting, strange and unexpected plants.... and I guess "in almost all the cases the F1 looks exactly like the mother plant" might be not be true in all cases-

    I do realise I am not experienced enough to weigh in on this discussion legitimately, I am just very interested in the topic and am trying to understand as much as I can.... it is very exciting and i like to hear myself talk :-)

    I'm not trying to argue @Evil Genius but i've read you say this a few times with F1's looking identical to mother...  Would you mind explaining a bit more because I have seen otherwise in my experience, not that I am very well travelled on the topic, but the scops i've seen crossed with bridgesii tend to take on some pollen donor characteristics, below is a photo zed240 posted of his SCOP x TIG (bridgesii) sourced from SAB, spines are looking amazing and i'd expect them to get bigger

    and here is a graft i did of seed from incognito, LANCE x FUNKOID

    I think there are many more examples, i.e. these are not isolated cases...  what do you think????

    SAB has a SCOP x tig which I reckon looks like super Pedro a bit in my spot, but saw a piccy of toasts recently and it seems to get a nice long spine wonce fattened up... I think its just the SCOP dominance... (The Sab SCOP x tig is probably many plants though, not a single clone.)

     

    I would say that super Pedro is a typical SCOP x pachanoi, probably a vigorous seedling from a SCOP x pach fruit- I reckon there will be a lot of plants to look like this come through as thousands of people growing out SCOP x pachanoi seed. Some seed growns I have going have the s.p. vibe for sure

    Holy shit thunder, that cracked me up! :-)

    yo @Halcyon Daze, what up brother with the Clinton love???

     

    Make america great again is a slogan man, you cant judge a presidents performance on whether a slogan will be implemented can you??

     

    The exciting thing for me is that the American people have NOT voted Clinton! That is the change, that is the shake up- the grand transformation has already begun :-)

    Trump is the catalyst, he may be a disaster, as with his predecessors, but try and see what this really means. The people are fed up! Looking straight through tainted media allegations of racism, sexsism blah blah blah, they have voted for trump!!!

     

    and... he's not gonna build a wall dude :-)

    @niggles I remember the sideways issue being resolved by actually adding the uploaded image to your post.. Ie, when you select the file to upload, and the transfer is complete u can hit the plus sign on the file thumbnail to add it to your post. It will insert the image into where you have the cursor, if you don't do this it will add it to the message sideways..... This was the solution prior to the upgrade though, I havent tested since...

    Hi all-

    I'm a little out of the loop technology wise, I was hoping some tech genius members could help me with some advice....

    It appears my telstra netgear cg3100 cable modem/router is starting to fail, telstra tech support say its had it and of course I need to purchaSE a new modem....
    My problem seems to be that the modem NAT are full (my problem seems consistent with this common complaint over the telstra supplied modems)... so i guess I need to disable nat on my modem and bridge a wireless router?????

    The modem has seemed to be fine for a few years, only recently starting to drop out regularly...

    Would love if anyone can tell me if I am on the right or wrong track and any suggestions for what I should buy if I need to purchase equipment- 

    my requirements are to connect like 4 or 5 devices via wifi, with a reasonable range ( better than the cg3100 would be great as this modem struggles to serve my household) and..... should it be future ready...??? like this nbn thing i hear about??? oh and cheap :-)

     

    Thanks in advance!
