  2. So curiosity got the better of me and I ordered a few plant growth regulators off ebay. I'm going to feed them to things in my garden and post up the results here. The PGRs I ordered are brassinolide, triacontanol and paclobutrazol.

    PGR experiments

    I don't have a control to compare this to, but here's the pumpkin I fed PGRs.

    Sinichuichi drooping like f

    Does anyone here grow sinichuichi? If so, any tips on stopping this droop I'm seeing in the leaves? I understand they like humidity but I don't have a greenhouse.. Hoping that's not the factor causing this.

    Sinichuichi drooping like f

    Hey guys, don't wanna randomly bump an old thread but I thought I'd just update that this plant has come back into good health. Moving it into the shade and feeding it seasol worked a treat. It was greening again within a fortnight.

    PGR experiments

    So my cacti seem to really love these PGRs. I feel kinda stupid feeding them pactobutrazol because I know it's toxic and I will inevitably eat them. But seriously they have grown 10 % in their size in 2 days since feeding. I fed this mix to a garden bed with what I think is pumpkin in it and the thing has become monstrous. It's climbed over a bush, over a pond and into an adjacent garden bed - where it is producing poor quality pumpkins. It's got mold on the leafs at the base. This isn't anything to do with PGRs though, these plants are prone to rot. I'll post some pics tomorrow. I didn't keep any controls when I started this experiment sadly. But I do have some near identical seedlings of the same t. pachanoi genetic that I can separate and experiment on. I'll start feeding one of them the PGR mix tomorrow and we can compare the growth. Stay tuned.
  7. What a monster. I saw it peaking over the fence and knocked on the door to see if I could nab a cutting. The home owner obliged and gave me a pup. She's enquiring with her landlord about selling me the whole plant. Any idea on the value of this (AUD)?
  8. Pretty sure this is trichocereus macrogonus
  9. I realise there are some outcasts here, like the TBM in the background I fucked up and caused skin damage to. I think it's the long variant. And the big Peru pup lurking there... But are the rest of this lot all 'PC' pachanoi? As you can see about half of my pots are skinny diseased pachanoi. A mate was letting them perish under his eaves in a box (not out of malice).
  10. I've got 100 cuttings of Chrysopogon zizanioides to give away to members of SAB. It holds potential for land management, applications include Carbon sequestration (currently calculated at ~ 3 - 4 x the efficiency of rainforest plots of the same size) Cleaning heavy metals from waste water Treating sewerage *The applications listed above are theoretical until proper research papers are published. There's not a lot of information out there about this plant, but I found this -> 'The medicinal properties are sedative, aromatic as well as antiseptic. Some of vetiver essential oil constituents include benzoic acid, furfural, valerenol, terpinen-4-ol and khusimol. Khus roots essential oil is extracted and utilized for perfumes, aromatherapy, cosmetic, creams, herbal skin care as well as soaps used in a Ayurveda. Khus oil is a good remedy to treat sores and acne due to its antiseptic medicinal properties. Khus roots can improve red blood cells deficiency, treat poor blood circulation, dry skin, cracked and brittle skin, wounds, cuts, rheumatism, nervous conditions, arthritis as well as muscular aches and pains. A syrup can be made from vetiver which can flavor ice-cream, milkshakes, yogurt and various beverages. Khus khus roots, another versatile medicinal herbs. The exert below is from a research paper My partner's father is doing a PHD project on this plant and has lots of it spare. I can only send domestically at this stage, however there are suppliers for the East Coast. You can find more info on them at www.vetiver.org/g/plantsuppliers.htm Cuttings are 1 foot long. Recipient must cover postage or pick up. PM or reply to the thread to arrange.
  11. Should be fertile, I'll confirm that for you and let you know.

    Wtb Erythroxylum sp. (WA)

    Hey guys, Interested in varieties of Erythroxylum sp. that people may have seed of. Please send me a PM if you can help, handsome reward offered.
  13. Cheers mountain goat. I've just potted them up with sand, soil and cacti mix with a little coir. I put rocks in the bottom of the pots to encourage draining. What's a cheap gravel sized soil alternative? All of the ones I've got in pots atm are already rooted. I'll make sure to do that with the cuttings i've taken as I did pull out quite a few that had been sitting there rotting all winter because I didn't do this properly.

    Cheers, i'll try more water. It's reticulated by my boar where it is so I thought it would be alright. Will try hand watering. A bigger pot is definitely a good idea, i'll do that too.

    wtb TBM long form

    Cheers MountainGoat, the girth was throwing me because i've only seen skinny long form TBM. I'll grow it out and see whatsup
  16. Awesome, cheers for posting Gimli. I'm getting into beekeeping soon myself. My partner was visited by an entity that told her to save bees and has since been asked by a friend if she'd be interested in learning how to start a hive. I don't know too much about beekeeping so I'm looking forward to learning more

    wtb TBM long form

    Is this the long form TBM?
  18. Cheers Micromegas, I've got a sausage x something or other from Gimly but it's just a baby. Here's a close up of the pup that my neighbour gifted me, maybe it can further your ID a bit. Also while I've got yaz here, is this the long variation of TBM that is said to be scarce? And what's the skin damage from / can I fix it?

    Are these 'PC' pachanoi?

    Thanks for clarifying Evil Genius. Check out this trich my neighbour has in her yard -> Peruvianus yeah? I'll post up some close ups of my 'PC' pachanois when the suns up.

    Melbourne Piracetam doctor

    Sabretooth - I really suggest you check out www.alibaba.com and search up racetam suppliers there. You are really limiting yourself choosing strictly piracetam, it's not the most effective racetam (just the most researched) and there are much more cost effective alternatives that are also legal (see sunifaram). I have multiple vendors I can connect you with directly, PM me.

    Acacia acuminata seed giveaway

    Hey Gimly, I got some seed off you last time we met up at the markets, but I gave it all to this year seven environmentalist who was making seed bombs. I explained to her how to germinate it. Hopefully it ends up in a garden near you! I'm pretty sure you gave me a seedling too, i'll post some pics of it. It's quite stunted
