Lots of potting up this week. Mainly cacti and psychotria. Had a lawn mower accident a few days before Xmas which fucked my ankle and put a dent in my garden game. Can’t stop me though. I hobbled on with crutches and got some shit done. I’m on the mend now. Leaving town for a few days so last minute checks on plants. I tend to get a bit of separation anxiety when i leave my plants but I’ve done my best to make sure they are self sufficient. Ie: water trays, feed, mulch, a few pep talks. Hang in there ya bastards! Don’t like leaving my garden but love coming back to see the new growth.

Snowtown is a good film. Based on a series of murders in south Australia. I won’t say much except that i believe it is worthy of a watch.

Good hangs. Thanks for having me bris crew.

Hoop pine it is. I’m 15 minutes away

Boo indeed. Had stock yesterdee, checked this morning... gone! What a bummer. I spoke with a guy called Alberto this morning, the Chilean vendor on ebay, and requested he send my seeds in a plain non discript package. He’s also throwing in a bunch of extra seed for me. Eagerly waiting...

Ok, so who bought up all the latua pubiflora seeds from chile flora? It says they are out of stock, coincidence? Maybe. I demand you share some seeds with me!

@MountainGoat I’ll admit it was a lazy seed purchase. Searched ebay, hit buy it now, boom! they’re coming. I’ll order some from chileflora as a back up plan. I’ll also read up on those other species mentioned. Thanks

Well said @Darklight! and @niggles those pictures are fucking epic mate! Onyas!

Thanks for your condolences @Infinity. I’ve been through a range of emotions since the disappointing discovery. I will try a bunch of different methods with my next batch of seeds. Determined to make this plant my bitch. I may even inoculate with shaman semen just to deepen the connection between man and plant and thus lock her down well and truly... maybe. Anyway I’m not giving up on this plant. Let’s hope my seeds make it through customs.

Soooo I’m pretty bummed out saying this, it turns out my “latua Publiflora” is not at all what it should be. It seems a stray seed had made it into my seedling tray. Should have figured as much being that it was the only seed to sprout. Fucking gutted. Moving on... I think I’ll give up on that batch of seed as the person I received them from said they’d not had any germinate either. Found more L.pubiflora seed on eBay last night and have ordered some more. Hope to have better luck this time. Ive stopped buying seed internationally coz I’m sick of customs snatching up my shit but I want this plant desperately so I’m taking the chance. here’s the link for the seed.

Sounds horrific @waterboy 2.0 i like the direction this thread is going. A few stories to remind everyone of the danger that can happen when indulging. I don’t want my lil write up to come across as a “hey everybody nangs are safe as, so fkkn cut loose on em” type thing. Too much of a good thing can be... well, bad.

Yeah the airy bones sound troubling for sure. I guess with lighter bones you could move a bit quicker and thus pull off some even more daring nos bottle heists. I dunno, trying to find the positives but scrapping the barrel here. Live n learn

thanks for sharing @Glaukus. what an epic tale! Ive had a nang cracker frozen to my finger but stuck to the lips sounds soooooo fucked up! Everything in moderation ay.

@Slocombe I’m not a nang veteran by any stretch but when in rome ya know. Only recently have I learnt to appreciated them for what they are. Hense the spiel. I’ve had hospital tank n2o once before. Some next level twangs. Any stigma around them needs to gtfo I reckon.

A guilty pleasure?? How about we just call it a pleasure, yes that’s much better. It needn’t be a guilty one. Nor should it be an act shrouded in disdain. Nang use goes back as far as the 1700’s where Victorian aristocrats would get together for laughing gas partys. (That’s high society in every sense of the word.) The next time you indulge in huffing on a ballon or wrap your lips around a cream charging chalice and someone decides to cast a judgey look in your direction, worry not for they just don’t understand how cultured and sophisticated you truely are. I urge you to keep your head held high, turn your nose slightly upward and crack another coldy. Without even knowing it, you are the epitome of class.

So I guess you could call that a metheglin? Im excited to see you develop your technique over time, adding some different herbs and what not. Cherries and cinnamon sounds so delicious! I’d love to try a Cannabis and Poppy infused mead.

Out of 15-20 seeds, only one germinated. Bit of a slow grower but seems to be healthy. I’m hoping all the other seed wake up at some point but I won’t hold my breath. No treatment was used on seeds which may have hindered the germ rate. It is situated on the east side of my house under an eve where it receives 5hrs of filtered morning sun. Sown: 22nd September Sprouted: 28th September This last photo was taken moments ago. Hey @waterboy 2.0 have you had another crack yet? Anybody else had luck raising this plant to maturity? I would love to see some pics of someone’s seed grown ‘Palo De Bruja’.

The meet was great. Impressed with everyone’s efforts to make time for it because I understand how busy everyone’s live can be. A good reminder of how similar interests and passions can bring people together who may have never met otherwise. Thankyou to those who participated. Holding another one in the near future so for anyone who missed out and is keen. Feel free to get in touch. can I get a pin now?? ;)

Too kind! @Darklight there is about 20 of us so should be a nice lil gathering. I’m sure not everyone will turn up but that just makes it a tad more intimate.

This Sunday 10am for those interested in hanging with fellow plantheads.

Did a little wild graft on some dragon fruit in the garden. Feels like the weather is now decent enough to nurture it. T.pachanoi ‘Quechuas’ (ay @Gimli I got this seed from you last year)

@XavierDass I use a mixer because it beats mixing up multiple barrows with a shovel. Work smarter, not harder. ;) My basic soil mix is 50% 3-5mm washed rocks (blue metal, zeolite, scoria, riverstone) 25% premium potting mix and here’s the real secret to a fluffy mix... 25% coco coir. I then adjust the mineral/organic content from this depending on what I’m potting.

Potted a bunch of tricho cuts and grafted some lophs. Put my v.africana in larger pot which was way overdue. (The root system reminded me of mung bean shoots). Caapi, psychotria, T.corymbosa, S.Tortuosum and D.cooperi & pereskiopsis cuttings.. I sowed some E.gerardiana seed. It’s my first time growing ephedra so interested to see how it grows. Also got the mixer out the other day and did a big batch of fluffy soil.
