    surely shooting spores from a water gun is pointless - if the environment is correct in that area, they will already be growing (and sporulating)

     

     

    Possibly, but they need to compete with other fungi which can be much more aggressive. The benefit is you can get to fresh chips and start sub spawn before other species have a chance to dominate. Every bit helps.

    Hi folks, for any of the Facebook inclined people, I have listed hundreds of small plants on this page linked below.

    There are tons of Terscheckii crosses, and all sorts of other things at very very cheap prices, lots of fatty genes and some varis amongst them too. 

    I'll have loads of cheap cuts up soon too. When the dust settles I'll put up a bunch of sales here also, but the traffic is all on FB lately so here's the link...

    Cube environs = cyan environs. That said I have foraged in paddocks with only cyans, only cubes, cyans then cubes, and cubes and cyans together. :blink:
     

    I reckon it is connected to spore proliferation for sure, but there is likely way more factors involved, amongst which is probably fungicide and herbicide use related to modern agricultural practices. :huh:

    My dad always told me you won't find mushrooms in paddocks fertilised with superphosphate.

    Please don't tell me you think Russia had clean hands when I comes to this stuff. The Russians dredged up the old "Prague cemetery" trope and rebirthed it as the protocols of the elders of Zion. Antisemitism was rampant throughout Europe at the turn of the century and in the leadup to the wars. France, Italy, Prussia...

    Be-careful shellite is now (and maybe always has been) 30% n-hexane. Beware of the vapours, n-hexane is quite neurotoxic, ensure you have good ventilation (a mask would be a good idea too) and ensure you get a totally clean evap.  Not to be confused with hexane.

    Inhaling any solvent isnt good for you. Xylene and Toluene are nasty as hell.

    Looks like phoma or anthracnose, neither of which is good news. They're aggressive and spread readily to other plants if left unchecked.

    I'd quarantine it if you can nd commence weekly treatment with Yates antirot.

    You might save it, but in my experience it's very difficult to eliminate once established, and I just bin affected plants now.

    I believe the pigs use Drager securatec swabs for roadside. They are calibrated to 5 mmol/litre I think, whereas Australian standard is for 25mmol/litre. So if you're wanting to replicate the sort of detection capability they use, that's what you need to look at.

    I'm not sure if you can get the same swabs they use, although TI managed to get his hands on some for a similar project some years ago...

    I think the plant mentioned in this article is already well known to most members here. 

    There are others which are known to a very select few, but you'll likely not get this info unless you're part of the circle. Concerns are valid, nobody wants to see the same bark ripping and disrespect occurring that regularly happens to obtusifolia etc. Once the cats out of the bag it's too late. I'm sure it'll happen eventually but for now the circle is closed tight.

    I've heard it's totally fine. You could use something less selective like xylene but you'll end up with a lot of lipids in your final. Which can be cleaned up with shellite. I hear the pros use hot shellite for first pull, get relatively clean xtals, then do more pulls with xylene to catch the rest. Or so I read...

    You need to de-carboxylate the oil first to make the THCA into active THC when ingested.  Chances of being off ya guts behind the wheel would be pretty high I reckon, best saved for when one is safe and sound at home.

    And edibles hit in a very different way too. Come up often feels very MDMA like.

    That is good to hear. The individual does not smoke or vape it is purely a medical cannabis use for the treatment for an auto immune condition. 

    They are just concerned about saliva road side testing.

    So if the gel cap gets past this problem then they will be happy.

    I'd still proceed with caution.

    It's true. Oral swab tests only detect presence of THC itself, not metabolites. So bypassing any direct contact with your mouth eliminates testing risk this way. But if you vape or smoke as well, then there's no advantage.

    In NSW, a positive roadside test will result in a more thorough lab test, but you'll lose your licence roadside straight away. There is no legal defense even if you're on prescription.
