  1. diatomaceous earth is your friend......cover the entire plant & soil in DE for a few days or a week. 

     

    yrs ago i had a serious bug infection in my arios....plants with many crevices for critters to hide in.....DE to the rescue

  2. I uses a glass dish (wine glass) & an old toothbrush to beat the hell out of the stamens & collecting the pollen in the glass dish.......quite often included are some stamen's and or filaments.

     

    Then i grab the q-tips and roll them thru the pollen, swabbing up as much per q-tip as possible....making damn sure not to include any filament or stamen stragglers.

     

    q-tips go into a zip lock baggie thats never quite zipped shut...and date labeled, then stuck in the fridge.

  3. If i wanted the results ur looking for I'd go scorched earth approach...all them weed & grasses have seeds which will sprout forever, even thru layers of rocks....burn em & their parents....use a propane torch or similar around the plants you want to save, the ashes will benefit the soil & roots.

     

    digging them up puts them in shock which will retard growth for awhile while they recover...bad idea imo.  burn out the grasses weeds & seeds  then sprinkle time release ferts around the plants.....each time the ferts get wet they release a tiny bit of chems, thus providing regular feedings over 4-6 months

    Could you tell me a little about VRG, and what about Bertha, Oscar, Olivia, hmm what else.. Cause I have an Olivia cross and I am not seeing any mutants afaik.. is it a particular interaction between two varieties mostly? And the mother contributes a little more by epigenetics?

    VRG started out as a big clump of red flowering grandiflorus with 2-3 stems only slightly variegated

    however when crossed with other trichs a full range of variegation can be seen.....

    such as mis-val (validus) x vrg

    to near 100% variegation

    Oscar consists of 4-5 stems of seed grown plants that can exhibit monstrous / crested genetics.  Pics are all oscar mother plants, one of the completely spineless stems flowered this yr

    Olivia consists of a single stem with a  few branches and doesn't exhibit any monstrous genetics

    Bertha is very similar in growth & looks to LumberJack although crosses both ways have been made...

    Imo certain hybrids when crossed with other hybrids or clones tend to occasionally produce variegated seedlings...

     

    for example the SS02xSS01 plant when crossed with LumberJack or Bertha or Icaros or (insert name) sometimes produces variegated seedlings.

    I just read somewhere that it can be caused by excess humidity.

    Dont believe anything you read on the internet, do believe in your own FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE.......(gained by hands on experience)

  6. the linage on my tree can be traced back to withdrawl clinic who confirms it to be colubrina

     

    Since a caapi thrives & a few psychotria viridis survive my winters i suspect a yopo would do just fine here
