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. For anyone interested. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F274023804078

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.

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.

Hey mate. so generous. its a bit dark but here is a pic of seed grown acuminata and a phlebophylla I’ve raised from seedling. Also some courtii I grew from seed recently. ;)

Overwhelming response guys! Well there has has been a good amount of interest shown on the fb group so I have organised a meet for the 10th of november if any forum members are interested.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw a flow hive. At a bbq... the hosts said “you’ve just got to see our flow hive”. Anyway we all gathered around the hive excitedly, ready to marvel at its ingenuity and as they’ve turned the tap, what came out was this beautiful viscous golden liquid filled with fucking maggots! I could have almost heaved watching them finger the maggot laced honey and trying to tell me it was still fine to eat. Well maybe it was, but I was trying not to retch at the thought of it. I guess it was hive beetle larvae which can happen to any hive right? But I’m sure you keep a nice clean apiary.

Hoping everyone has a great weekend Get down, Saturday night

Hi @XavierDass I can send some unrooted cuttings if you would like.

Yeah Gimli get some natives already. Also... I am well keen for some Aussie made mad honey. Attached is a list of plants containing grayanotoxins to get the ball rolling.

Hey @Pedro99 The ants are more than likely farming scale insects. Check on the undersides of leaves and the plant stems and you will see them. My voacanga and viridis that are in the shadier/moister parts are prone to this. Scale is a real pain. Read up on how to treat it before it gets out of hand. Get rid of the scale and the ants will tend to clear out.

The garden is thriving. I noticed a P.Viridis Shipibo starting to form some flowers which is exciting. C.Edulis is punching out a load of flowers and a few cacti are busting out fresh pups. Also planted some more seeds today. •Anadenanthera Peregrina •Peganum Harmala •Latua Pubiflora •Codariocalyx Motorius •Clitoria Ternatea •Nicotiana Rustica
