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

Hi @Boof , I’d be more inclined to use sugar cane mulch or straw instead of eucalyptus mulch. (Subs love eucalyptus, not too sure about pans and cubes) I’ve heard an old trick is to drizzle vege oil on substrate to feed. I think it was T who told me. In regards to covering with plastic, make sure it has decent air flow otherwise it will become an anaerobic mess with gross green mould growing in there and the mycelium will have trouble competing with it. (Maybe try shade cloth instead) I’ve had success doing multiple layers of straw/cane and dung and heavy watering for the first month and then keeping it just moist afterward. Best of luck!

@sharxx101 No probs mate. I ending up dropping in and met some sab crew there, shared a few plants that I brought with me and had some chats. Sorry you couldn’t make it.

Hey @ph7 you still after some a.peregrina seed?

Hi mate. Can I please grab some if they are still available.

I’ve heard of it being used but haven’t tried it. No harm in having a crack and doing a side by side comparative grow. Lots of theories on cutting aids, honey, saliva etc. I’ve pretty much stopped using hormones for any cuttings as I’ve found as long as it is actively growing when cut, there is no need for it.

Hey I’m doing my best to make it there. Keen to meet some of you guys. Is there a set time or are folks hangin out all day?

Howdy. I’m Enjaytee. Forum noob. Feel free to school me on forum etiquette. Harvested my first iboga fruits today. It’s true that they smell like jizz when you bust ‘em open. Soaking the seeds in water overnight and planting them toMorrow evening. Moved some plants from pots into the ground. ( brugs, cacti, d.cooperi) sowed some poppies ‘giganteum’, Lauren’s grape, Flemish antique, and lavender dbl. A load of tricho seed has germinated. Sowed some hbwr, heavenly blue and Rivea corymbosa. Sowed Chillis, basil, Shiso, lavender, dill, mugwort and too many other herbs/veges to mention. Made some soil primo soil mixes. Fkkn spring ay. Busy times.
