  1. I have been meaning to take some pics of this, and today seems like a great day to update this thread. 

     

    Happy Birthday, Sir Jeans!! 

     

    One of your babies is flowering for me on a couple of columns this year. I am SUPER stoked about this, as it has genetics that deserve to be spread. 

     

    I have 2 large plants I don't cut, (and some smaller ones I'll cut if needed). I have wanted these 2 big ones to produce flowers, and the one in the pot has now done so! It's much scrappier looking and slower to grow than it's clone I have in the ground, which pumps out massive linear growth on all 8 of it's columns each year, but no signs of flowers on that one.

    And a comparison of the one flowering in the pot, and the much larger one in the ground.

    So it won't happen this year, but this is one step towards possibly being to make Jeans X Eileen and vice versa, at some stage. :) This year the crosses will be something else.

  3. 4 hours ago, BrownDog said:

    I could transplant them into bigger pots and have the final soil layer end up where they get wider and greener. 

     

    I do what you've described above.

     

    I make a top layer about half an inch deep out of something inert, like zeolite, or very small pebbles, above my normal soil mix where the roots are. It holds the stem until it thickens up, but isn't too organic in the hopes of lowering the chance of rotting. I have never had a seedling rot from doing it this way before.

  4. Update on Server Donation auction results!

     

    We had some payment issues where FF couldn't process paypal donations to SAB. So after a while of looking into the options he transferred the AU$101 to me via bank transfer and I donated it to the SAB server cost from my own paypal account as soon as it cleared in my bank account. (yesterday)

     

    I also sent Fungal Forest his winnings yesterday via express post, and threw some extra stuff in too for playing the game. :)

     

    Thanks to the people who bid on this auction.

     

    Proof of donation

  5. Congratulations! @Fungal Forest - you have the winning bid of AU$101. :)

     

    Thanks heaps for this contribution to the forum server costs.

     

    Can you please donate the money and be sure to upload a screenshot with a payment confirmation into this thread as proof the money has been donated.

     

    Then PM the address you'd like the seeds and Validus OP seedling sent to and I will get them in the post to you the next day. :)

    BTW -  Fungal Forest - If you decide you'd like the plants in either of the 2 higher tiers feel free to either donate $125 or $150 (or more! :wink: ) and I will send you the extra plants also.

  6. I am auctioning some seeds and the winning bid will be donated to the SAB sever cost auction.

     

    SAB has a wealth of old knowledge stored on it, is a great way to record a history of plants and for people to be able to check back over things later.
    It has helped me connect with other growers, trade, buy and obtain some wonderful seeds and plants, some even through generous giveaways other members have run from time to time.
    It’s a valuable resource that I’d like to see continue as long as possible.

     

    Auction will run from now until 8pm EST Sunday 02/07/2017 – starting bid of AU$23 and going up in at least AU$5 increments from there.


    Winning bidder must post screenshot confirming their winning amount being donated to the SAB server costs no more than 5 days after the auction ends, post screenshot proof here and I will cover cost of postage to get the prize to the winner.

     

    Some of these seeds are very hard to get hold of these days and will result in some wonderful plants! :)

Mr X’s Validus is thought to probably/possibly be one of the Fields clones. This seedling will grow into a very special plant!

  7. To use Signal do you have to give them your mobile phone number? Or can you create and use a unique username to connect with people, rather than the phone number of the device? I'd feel much better being able to use a messenger service that didn't require my phone number and that I could always only use when connected to a VPN.

     

    I know WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, and their terms of service state they will share data with their parent company, including your phone number. That's information I don't want to give a corporation like Facebook. Seems to defeat any reasons to use that particular one. If anyone paid them enough, FB would sell your data in a heartbeat.

  8. I don't mind if people want to label their plants as "Helon".

    I personally have seen way too many people misspell clone names or exchange the right vowels for others to really think that is enough to stop confusion though. All it takes is someone to misspell their Misplant crosses as Helon for confusion to start and then set in, it's much less likely people would accidentally add the letters S.G. at the start of the name if it didn't come with those qualifying letters to start with though.

    All my seeds went out labelled very clearly as "S.G. Helen", I think the S.G. part of the label makes it much harder to just accidentally change one vowel in translation or when there's an up-pot, label change, sale of seedlings to others or whatever.

     

    The good thing is this info is now explicitly written in to this thread, which people can refer to for info and mother plant pics of the seeds I've sent out in future.

     

    I also think the S.G. Helen looks much more like a spiny scopulicola/FR991 or cordobensis type than it does a peruvianus. But again, pics are available here and elsewhere, and people can make their own minds up if they think it's a peru or closer to a different species.

     

    Still seeds left if anyone wants to PM me to make an order. :)
