Pollen Genetic Traders!

[Pollen Genetic Traders!]

I'm glad to see there are other genetic workers. When spring comes I'll update. This is the worst winter we've had since 94. I've sadly lost a few I can see but Not all.

Does no one else collect Pollen here?

Thanks for the heads up Pedropark. Where is the master list so I can tell if what I am getting is different or not different? That is what I need. Who has the list of what each variety tosses out? 

I tried to start a thread like that Here  but I haven't had anyone really pop in to add any additional info other that what I posted in the OP for misplant genetics. 

[Zelly's trich crosses, got pics? post here please]

The LJ males still have the same upward pointing areoles but they're not as well defined as the LJ Mother crosses. I'll see if I have a pic of any to post up for you.

I found the label still attached to the grafting stock beneath the earth. Its a Psyho0 x Lumberjack. For that cross the spines are extremly short. Has anybody pics of that cross to compare? Thanks in advance.

 

 

I Sadly do not have that cross but I have noticed with all of my LJ crosses that the areoles seem to protrude pointing upwards with those fan shaped spines. If you hadn't said anything about it being a LJ cross I would have placed a guess on it being the father  

[Carolina reaper seeds]

I have some Morunga scorpion and Ghost as well if you're interested  

[Some cacti seeds/plants wanted]

I have a couple Opuntia ficus indica that I hand grew myself from both white and purple fruit seed.

 

I have them labeled by the fruit color I grew them from. I understand white fruit are the more sought after varieties and they were definitely more difficult to sprout so I guess I can understand that.

 

They are now fully grown plants although only 3 years old.

 

If you're interested Pm me and I'll show you what I got  

[Who's willing to cut their Aussie Clones?]

I'm looking to get my hands on Psycho0, Bertha, Yowie and Eileen. I have much to trade and I'll buy if that's more your speed   If I buy I wanna buy in bulk though.

 

All I need honestly for each is a 3inch center cut and I can propagate from there.

[Sida Cordifolia]

Just remember to give it at least 2 years growing in nutrient rich potting soil before you harvest. I harvested at 3 years so wait if you can. 

[Sida Cordifolia]

I have to admit that it is pretty pleasant. I wouldn't consider it Euphoric so much as just energetic and heavily active. I have a ton of roots (young and old) as well as a bunch of seed if anyone is interested in growing it out  

[Sida Cordifolia]

I live in zone 7 and I grew one of these out by seed about 3 years ago not expecting much from it. I uprooted the 3 year old plant a couple weeks ago , cleaned the roots, ground them up and seeped them in hot water. It was a slow coming effect but a BIG burst of energy hit me about an hour and a half later. I was really surprised!

 

I now add this to me Klip Dagga and passion flower teas (taste is a bit woody on its own but adding Passion Flowers really makes it much more pleasant) that I make nearly every morning (in SMALL amounts depending on how tired I am) and it seems to work like a strong caffeine for me now.

 

Be careful though because this plant seeds like WILDFIRE!!! I now have it growing nearly everywhere in my garden now. It's become 1 hell of a pest to get rid of where I don't want it to grow  Much like planting Passiflora incarnata in your yard (as it begins to take over the entire yard within 2 years)  

 

 

Good Luck and be careful not to let it seed so much. Cutting the flowers off as they close is probably your best choice to keep them from taking over.

[Giveaway ,''Guess the plant''.]

Can I get a go by guessing your cacti species?

[My lovely little paradise]

Wow those are some beautiful cacti Bro <3 

 

[Pollen Genetic Traders!]

I wanted to start a thread where people with specific types of desirable genetics can share/trade their pollen to people all over the world.

 

 

I imagine Tricho genetics are going to be the top trade here but ATM I have Lophophora Willie pollen from 3 beautiful plants if anyone is in need to add some new genetics to their seed library.

 

 

I have many more options on the way so I'll update once I collect new pollen from different plants. I do have a little bit of Girl Scout Cookie and some good Shoreline pollen left but I don't know how long it'll stay viable.

 

 

If you too are a pollen saver please post up here so we can get some healthy genes out into the community instead of always leaving it up to nature or self pollination which often brings down the number of good viable seeds.

 

[Zelly's trich crosses, got pics? post here please]

I have MANY plants from Zelly labeled and marked here in the top pic. It's hard to tell which all is which from the picture but there are many different crosses here grown over the last 3 years. Since I first heard of Zed and his amazing business  

 

 

The second pic I'm pretty sure came from Zeds seed but it's a Pach X Pach 'Monstrose'. It's had a lil rough time to get to where it has gotten now but it only has 2 short (hair like) spines on each areole that it drops as it grows leaving about a 98% spineless Pachanoi stalk.

 

 

It's the first Tricho I've found to be almost completely spineless. Has anyone else gotten a plant like this from Zeds seed or ever even seen a spineless Tricho before?

 

 

 

 

Also!!!

If Activity is actually a defense mechanism along with the spines to keep pests from consuming or destroying the plant? Could this mean this plant is so strong in activity that it doesn't even need any spines to protect it any farther?

 

I'm not advising it to be consumed or agreeing that is right to even contemplate. I just wonder if this plant would be a good point to get tested in a lab? Also does anyone know a fairly inexpensive lab to hook up with in hopes for getting this plant studied. I hope this post isn't breaking any rules??? If so I'm sorry. This question has just been on my mind heavily here lately and I was hoping I could get a good answer here.

 

 

Anyways Thank you Immensly My Brother Zelly for your amazing work and all the effort you put into getting great genetics out to the community 

[Sida Cordifolia questions]

I've found a lot of info in the past (although I have not consumed any of my Sida) that the ephedrine is more available within the stems at the end of the season. I've also read that there may be even more within the roots of the sida. the roots are extremely tuberose so I imagine there may be a decent amount of actives in there but as I've said I'm completely unsure considering I have no firsthand Sida experience with consumption. I have Literally Hundreds of plants I just haven't focused any of my energy into them yet.

 

 

Do you have anything to add since you've posted this?

[Nelly Crosses FT]

Good to see ya on here Zapp  

[Introducing myself. Hi Fellow Cultivators]

Just wanted to post up a couple other things I've had loaded up. Nothing too special, just a few more babies to add to the mix while I have a little time. I hope you guys enjoy them a little  

 

 

The last pic is definitely a sad looking little seed grown pach but it shows some interesting growth habits compared to the others grown from the same seed. I know it's still young and things may change as it grows more into it's adult stages but as it grows it seems to drop all of it's spines leaving a completely spineless plant so far. It's a Pach X Pach monstrose so I'm really doing all I can to keep this baby growing in a healthy manner. It's already been through some rot but the tip was healthy enough to root although closer to winter I plan to impale graft the tip and see what I can come up with  

[Introducing myself. Hi Fellow Cultivators]

Also are any of you guys working with Lopho a_v species? I planted about 50 seeds last winter and I've ended up with about 8 nicely growing grafts. 1 graft is pupping beautifully another turned Dia (whatever the word for splitting into 2 heads without pupping) but all the others seem to enjoy growing as single heads on Peres (which is strange compared to the massive pupping power of Willies). Here are a couple pics I have loaded. I'll take pics of the others a little later on.

 

 

 

[Introducing myself. Hi Fellow Cultivators]

Thank you guys for the awesome welcome! I'm soo happy to finally be onboard here with all of you amazing cultivators  

 

 

@Halcyon Daze Yes Sir the fire is strong in me and my plants as you'll see  but so is the dumbass in me too (as you that know of Spacey already know) lol!

 

 

Anyways here are a couple of my Favorite 4 ribbers  I'd like to show off!

 

 

 

The first one was a gift from a good friend on another forum but the next 2 are seed grown and growing beautifully. For some reason less ribs interest me more so I specifically pull out and replant the 4 and 5 rib plants I grow to give them a better shot from an earlier age vs the 6, 7, 8 ribbed plants. I really don't know why this is and I wonder if others do the same?

[Introducing myself. Hi Fellow Cultivators]

I just wanted to start somewhere (as this is a LARGE confusing forum). I'm Spacey and I have Many cacti and other Ethno plants that I'm excited to share with you guys.

 

I'll post a few pics here just to see if it works if I can get the hang of how things work here  

 

 

 

Let me know if this works and you guys can see the greenhouse pics I've tried to post. Also if this is the wrong place just let me know and I'll attempt to move it to somewhere where it'll be mor suited. Thanks Guys
