gerbil

we've only got the one clumper type in aus as far as i'm aware, it does elongate into long penis tips with no spines, with usually spines at the base of them which you can see. The spination and smooth parts are just how it grows, normal tbm.

i thought as much, hard to tell amount of seriousness mixed in with jokes, musta been a slow day with the bonsai ey

don't know if you are actualy asking, or if it's just the m3th joke, edit irrelevant.

no really an issue, but if people are interested, daylight savings starts on sun 2nd oct, clocks forward 1 hr at 2am.

haha that's a good one amazonian, you make a me laff sorry to derail the trade thread, heres some links for you OPP Quarantine Icon Database http://www.aqis.gov.au/icon32/asp/homecontent.asp Customs and other info (links within it) http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14161 it is all very confusing, T has put a lot of work into trying to understand and to communicate it, but still it can be confusing, those threads are locked, but as he has stated, feel free to open up other discussion threads regarding them.

It's more so a question of what doesn't occur in the dandenongs, without looking up the hounds toungue info besides quick scout of flowers, you might be looking at forget me nots, Myosotis sylvatica, they are everywhere up there. Try to supply botanical names zen, it saves people a lot of chasing around for the info. Same family afaik, possibly a synonym but haven't looked it up.

I don't understand what you mean especially re: before t's post. If you follow the link I provided, and look two posts up (#9) from your post yesterday (#11) (in the link provided) you will find the post where T states (in august) customs and quarantine import information re spores. this is doing my head in, over and out.

well it must have been half arsed, because in a post of yours yesterday, looking two posts up, torsten clearly outlines it is a quarantine AND a customs issue, then after federal import issues comes the state laws. http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=28790&st=0&p=323638&hl=+importing%20+spores&fromsearch=1entry323638

do better in the ground, but sceletium / similar would be one to consider, can sprawl over pot edges or kept hard trimmed (though best to trim tips if on the sprawl as you want to build up a strong stem base, else it goes all lanky shitty and will abscise itself), good soil and keep the water up to it and you can pretty much keep it ever green without it skeletonising fully.

I've no experience with button mushrooms / phase 2 composting etc. imo spawn is best kept running, realistically you shouldn't even let it go a day or so post full colonisation, if you want storage create a culture specific for it, then revive and get it running. You may get away with storing bulk spawn for a while then getting it to re-invigorate and run again, but do this as practice and you'll soon realise it's not good practice with more failure than success. Storing grain spawn and getting it running again would be far harder than say shiitake dowels in a fridge, it's already undergoing more complex metabolism. another point, if the compost has already been used to fruit a crop, the compost is best for the compost/garden, unless you want to get into species sequencing, using spent substrate from one species as a substrate for another, though see previous no button experience, my species sequencing has been more with saprophytes. I wonder if you've got your wires crossed on that one, or if you can actually fruit twice off the same compost substrate, i'd assume not and if so it'd prob. be a poorer performer than the first crop as it'll have far less nutrient available. You are probably best to go back and ask the fella who gave you the compost with that one.

would people agree this is similar to, or possibly the same as the yellow spot that is essentially endemic to the pc pach? I thought the smaller yellow spot has been spoken about before but i can't seem to find it in the search. Possibly a different type or thing all together, as i've not seen it as spread out or severe as in the first photo. Will get some photos to communicate it better. edit ahh here tis, bugger photos, pd put some up! http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26936&st=0&p=291261&hl=+pachanoi%20+virus&fromsearch=1entry291261

that potting mix really does not look good from what is shown, it looks just like fairly decent sized chunks of uncomposted pine bark with salt build up (either from the mix, your water, or fert if you are using it which you shouldn't be), possibly it's better underneath as all the bigger bits have come to the surface, but still not really what i'd call good in any way. You'd be aiming for a finer more well drained, airier, sandy compost. Or preferably a seedraising mix (you'll notice these are fine and well drained, easy for roots down and veg to break the surface, which then can be moved onto a more sandy compost. Torsten has spoken a lot about coarse sharp sand and compost mixes over the years have a search. Most potting mix is crap, even 'premium' ones, the industry needs a shake up and dont get me started on all the gardening shows floggin the shit, poorly composted materials with added fert yuk, and it's not really the best to start seeds in, getting away with potting mixes, even poor ones are more in the realm of plants/established seedlings with rootballs. I avoid them or add them as a small part of a mix.

RIP Adrian, yet another that will never be forgotten, can't make sense of this, this is really fucked excuse the language. hope you are at peace fella you will be missed immensely. thankyou for passing this on ronny.

Don't know how they contribute to soil fertility, though i guess with a large taproot as they are said to have, that'd improve structure and increase nutrient profile from lower down drawings, chocolate, seems to grow under canopy, likes wet but drained, said to grow near streams if i'm not mistaken. The large amount of rain may be an issue, as i think they prefer consistency over time.

glad you got something out of it, was edited a fair bit, had directions and relevance, but i suppose i wasn't comfortable with it in the legal forum, as after a while it can dilute threads away from more precise legal info. I suppose i just meant, these things have serious social consequences and people just don't seem to care, so after a while people who do care, stop caring, due to brick wall phenonenom. The impact these sorts of laws have, directly restricts the capability of life. Keeping genetics going is excellent, though stocking up doesn't stop the potential for your human rights to be violated, because the legislation still exists. Educate yourself then educate those around you, help people that need help and communicate what is going on, cultural ruts are hard to change, but our society is sick and we are blinkered so much we actually actively promote it as a majority. For legislation like the proposed to even be proposed let alone administered completely leaves me lost for words, we use psychological wars to keep the masses in line, lie about substance effects through bias information selection and distribution, yet if the masses took a step back, the hypocrisy of enforcement and supporting attitudes is scarily embarrassing to our entire society. anyway it's turning back into an edit lol

edit rant aint productive

Quickly looking in the legal forum has one of the main threads of relevance http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26539&st=550 So as far as i'm aware and understand, it's past the submission stage, now we wait for their move and response after accounting for and reviewing the submissions in relation to their proposed legislation. I'm not aware that anyone here could fully answer your question, you'd have to talk to the authorities and ask them how they are going with it, which you probably wouldn't get a proper answer anyway. It hasn't gone away if that's what you are asking, afaik. Just my opinion, though i reckon one of two things, they will drop legislation in when there is a lull in social drama to solidify their propaganda regarding dangers of substances and ultimate society protection, or they will drop legislation during hectic public times so majority of people have no idea, no care and no reaction, smooth sailing for ultimate erosion of human rights. wow that was insightful gerbil, it's either put it in the face of the public or hide it from the public, i guess in a 50 50 world either is possible so my comment is pointless, it's like if you hold your breath you can't breathe, it's one or the other, unless ya want a third mixed option, though more complex ratios are as known outcomes as a 50 50 outcome anyway, to paraphrase my comment is stating the obvious and meaningless haha

shit yeah aux, those sorta lineages do it for me, highly intelligent, generally good natured given their strength and aggressive potential, plus good hunting companions if gun dog methods of hunting is ya sorta thing. ah dog breeds do my head in, have been trying to figure out the retriever / lab retriever thing for many years. Yours initially is something i wouldn't call a lab retriever, looks sorta like a golden retriever influence in the coat and ears, but such a lab retriever structure underneath, initially i'd thought golden retriever x black lab retriever (never heard of that one! gold retriever x gold lab retriever is abundant here though). The american lab retrievers remind me of black pointers (as can english ones to me, but english usually more stubby like a mastiff). No doubt lotsa variations even within somewhat stable breeds. Nice dog mate :D You feed off each other no doubt, intelligent dogs reach better potential with intelligent owners, it's amazing what can happen.

flawless plant strangebrew, geeze snags is nice such a weird electric false green in the newer skin, thanks for the great service :D

sorry for sidetrack, if it interests you zen, they've also got Mind Altering and Poisonous Plants of the World, essentially same format as med. plants. wow just looking up the authors other texts after T's 'write excellent books', found Wink's Annual plant review biochemistry and plant secondary metabolism, relatively fresh out, pricey but wow sounds interesting.

hah yeah that whole natural thing is funny, such naive people, i remember hearing about a fella who somehow drank fertiliser, but after the realisation of, thought he'd be 100% fine 'cause it was organic hahaha i've had a quite severe allergic reaction to a green chilli in india, the heat was ridiculous but for at least a few days i was covered head to toe in red welts/rash, which really isn't much fun in indian humidity, heat and crowds. The fella i knew there would eat two of these a day instead of taking malaria tablets.

rocoto capsicum pubescens the black seeded chilli would be a good one down your way, it's a bolivian species that does well in cold, is a sorta viney/branchy tree, from memory can get to 15ft, pretty sure the italian mob i sourced my seed off was growing it on a flat wall trellis, their branching is flat like that at times. i don't know if i've got seed anymore, will check soon. anyhoo gotta run.
