    thanks dude id be keen as , if I have to wait that long , (what month would that be?) I'm  spewing I gave away my 6 footers some years ago after having mid life crisis , but I'm looking at starting again the collecting and living , pm me anytime your ready bruh, appreciated ! :)

     

    Well I just took 3 cuttings today  and set them up in a humidity chamber. I haven't done this before so I don't know how long it will take until they are established, or if it will work. I've followed the kada method in perlite so hopefully I have success. I'll let you know when somethings ready for trade.

  2. I've got a decently sized Sinicuichi plant but I'm still unconvinced of its ethnobotanical value. Each prune I've given has yielded no results. Still a nice looking little tree that is pretty undemanding to care for with loads of yellow flowers.

  5. I've used 3% and s little higher h2o2 with no negatives. It does turn the pumice rock brown after repeated treatments but this seems to be just a visual thing not to the detriment of the seedlings.  Seedlings 2-3 months old when treated. 

     

    Ive also just tried phosphorous acid to counter rust spots, will see how that goes 


  6. Life changing experience - yes

     

    Change of path/goals - sort of, but path/goals are an external focus. The experience was more about what's "within". It awakened a peace and acceptance, and allowed new life obstacles to be approached differently. I didn't gain a sense of "what" to do, rather a sense of "how" to be. This can still frequently be forgotten when emotion/ego/self begin to distract from the moment. 

     

    Regarding old goals vs new goals, perhaps you might consider relaxing the attachment to goals. Our modern world is very goal-oriented, we must always be doing something in order to have meaning. But meaning can be found in "being" as well as "doing". Perhaps if you release the pressure of having the correct goal, a path may reveal itself to you.

     

    look at it as your old way of perceiving everything and yourself vs your new way of perceiving everything and yourself. 

     

    Life and health after life changing experiences - definitely better. Old aches and injuries disappeared, life long allergies gone, anxiety, fear and loneliness a distant memory.

    My tap water is full of limestone, and I really want to lower the pH, but I don't know how. I could chuck in some strong acid, the type used for cleaning the coffee machine, but I really don't how much to use. Any good suggestions? Would a tablespoon of acid for a litre of water do the trick?

    Mate just use white vinegar lol. A teaspoon per 4 litres for me, but everyone's water is different and you have to pH test yourself. From  my experience you can have a neutral to slightly alkaline substrate with acidic watering and cacti seem to love it. (Water adjusted to between 5-6pH)
