This graft has already started cranking out 4 pups. Tearing itself apart! Beauty though considering its grown 7mm in diameter in a month

That name is an absolute turn off but I guess you gotta be cool and hip as far as marketing goes. Saltbae is a fucking tosser. As someone who does a lot of BBQ styles of various cultures, seeing his videos I just shake my head Is it just me or is there no search function? Or is that to force people to scroll past every photo in the hopes they'll go "oh, that looks nice *add to cart*" ? That's an impressive list of L williamsii vars! (a hover over each var for a photo would be nice) The vars list not being in alphabetical order also gets my OCD going lol Good luck with it.

Tried BAP recently (approx 10 weeks ago, maybe more ,I'd have to check) in a 1% w/w mixture and hit a few columns: Scop x Super Pedro = success, pup grew normal Pachanoi #1 = partial success, turned out wax-like, grew to an inch or so long, terminated and then starting growing a normal pup from the top most areole Pachanoi #2 = partial success, pretty much as above Bridgesii = failure, both areoles While chatting to another SAB member, I did some googling regarding its use on Lophophora and a certain site has a few posts with one stating 10% w/w mix. This seems incredibly over the top, does it not? There are a few posts of people "spraying" it but no mention of what they mix it with. Any recommendations? Edit: what can be used besides lanolin? I know someone using rice bran oil in a 50:50 mix. Also seems extreme but he's having good results. What about butter/margarine?

@MountainGoat you got a few more meters?

This is probably going to seem like a stupid question, but I'm not fully clued in to the workings of plants Is there a criteria for leaf to be able to grow into another plant? Ie Psychotria spp can but Pereskiopsis spp can't? Thanks

RARE?! lol shit.. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Trichocereus-Echinopsis-pachanoi-san-pedro-RARE-ornamental-Cactus-cutting/112833957815?epid=12005905520&hash=item1a456d8fb7:g:gZsAAOSwrhBZE~op

Back in early Feb I decided I want to try grafting a few loph pups from the mother plant I picked up a month earlier Made straight cuts on stock and scion, tried to cross the vascular rings as best I could, tried to get any air out too. Held it down tight af with the foot of a stocking Boom, now I have this and another. Keeping a note of how I am doing things in a little journal so I don't forget how I did things and what worked/didn't work. Had 2 failures but I've let them callous and go into soil to hopefully grow roots. Trying tricho to pere. Used some leaf juice as glue. Put into an old fish tank with a glad wrap lid and some water in a small bowl to make it humid. Only way to learn. Some of my Gastrolobium bilobum (1080 plants) Some Nexus I've been playing around with. Got 4 strains of viridis too now. Wish I could get rooted cuttings but no one wants to send to WA.. leaf will have to do. Some of the jams I've grown from my plantation seed. The same seed I did a giveaway with here and via the SAB fb group. Lots of happy recipients already. 2 weeks ago I put down seed into this tray (a small gift from a forum member - quite good too, I like the depth of it compared to other trays I have), and 1 week later a bloody bird came in and ate 50+ seedlings. Re-did HWT seed batch and I now have 61 of 63 cells with a seedling... contained in a bloody cat trap.. to keep birds out... Someone on this forum ever so generously sent me some Acacia obtusifolia seed late last year. This is them now... Thank you to whoever it was (I have a shit memory) - please PM so I can say thanks again! Hopefully give a few away at the next Perth meet. @saylor twift ? I think it was you. Got these 4 D metel seedlings to me. I have had over 30 flowers between 4 plants. The smell is incredible. Unfortunately no seeds have set yet. Wonder if it's a lack of bugs? Torsten mentioned that the opening of the flower is usually enough to pollinate Datura? Hopefully one of them does throw seed as I'd love to share. The purple is intense! My scop x Super Pedro is a little dehydrated at the moment. Noticed this lump. Feels solid and round.. could it be a non emergent pup? My 2 Nexus. One on left was the same size as the one on the right back in early December. Going to put some more leaves down to propagate for local members/giveaway plantlets.

Also chasing clones - if anyone has small pups of named clones I'm interested... Thanks!

Chasing 5-10cm seedlings for the purpose of adding variety to my garden - please PM what varieties you have/price ea. I'd like to buy in pairs Cheers Edit: chasing some zelly/nitrogen hybrids too.

Lophophora williamsii var texana

Standard browser in Android works well for me. Be nice if tapatalk was implemented here though...

Got some second rate jam seed from which I've had some germinations but not great like the first lot I sent out a few weeks ago. I'd rather other people try their hand at it instead it just going in the bin, so please keep this in mind 6 people will get 6g of seed (and a tiny bit of chaff) Criteria: AUS only Only available to people who have not received seed from me before Once all 6 are claimed, I will PM for your address and mail them out Cheers

Your message that said perhaps hit it with BAP. Since it doesn't have areoles, is there anywhere on the segment I should aim for? Thnaks for the input! I have since done 2 L williamsii grafts with success (and 2 failures which I've put down to grow roots)

Not a doco, but the movie 127 Hours Just finished reading the book "Between a Rock and a Hard Place", about Aron Ralston, the bloke who amputated his own arm in order to save his life after his arm became stuck by a boulder Impressive stuff!

Eileen is a bridgesii afaik

Sunday, 11am @ Mill Point Road Car Park (UNDER THE NARROWS BRIDGE) - LATE MINUTE CHANGE DUE TO POSSIBLE SHIT WEATHER - SEE PAGE 36 What time should we convene? Try get a table/BBQ spot! Would anyone be interested in running a small workshop on grafting?

Seeds would be easiest and less fiddly. Unless people want to do slab/areole grafting on donated stock? Anyway, it was just a thought. Hoping to drag a few people on board If it doesn't happen then so be it

Looking for any sort of tricho seed, don't really care what species. Just want to have another attempt at germinating... Thanks

And we are done Until next time
