    dam... well i half expected this to happen, but the pet plants died :'( however, i'll still do the raffel today and put together a nice lil prize together. this, however, will not contain the original pet plant capsule. i wanna try growing a lil peyote button in it this time :) i'll put up the winner later today

    dont cha hate it when you lay down on a couch or something, and your in the perfect position, and then you need to go slash or scratch yourself or something, and you can never find that confy position no matter how hard you try

    to get you started:

    don't cha hate it when you turn on a fluro tube light, and it doesnt turn on for like 1 minute, then you look at it cause you think its broken, and the f#$ker friggin blinds you!

    or

    don't cha hate it when you get to the bottom of your coffee and there's still sugar un disolved there and thats why it was crap.

    oh man, i nearly forgot, its prob too late but i remember there was a young guy with longish hair at the last meet who said he'd get me a brug at the next meet. Sorry i forget who you are, but i gave you a lift to the station in the party van. I wont forget your lil gift too ;)

    what age and hight are your SD's? i've read the same stuff as psili sausage, but after reading what you'v said, i'm starting to second guess that.

    i've never let them get bigger then around 3foot high as i keep pinching them to make them bushy. after growing coleus (which as you said, has almost exactly the same growing habits IME) this may bee a big mistake for trying to get it to flower.

    i have so many questions for you! but i dont wanna flood you with questions just yet.

    seems you know your shit buddy, shame your not in melbourne! we could have a beer and talk sally n shit hahaha

    i agree with all of that Casuarius. None the less, growing in a hot house helps protects the plant from temp and weather extreams like wind and frost.she will tollerate full sun, and will grow a bit faster however they will become light green instead of beautiful deep green and the leaves will be deformed, lumpy, low velvetyness and low salvinorin levels. ( i got only 0.5g of pure needles xtals from 1kg of leaf. They worked but :P)

    Also, wtf? easily setting seed? Mines never flowered let alone seeds let alone viable seeds.i can only assume you have acomplished this. How'd ya do it? :D

    i never sterilize anything when taking cuttings, just snap off a branch an stick it in some saturated loose soil. I tried making mud out of soil and putting sally in there but the soil was too dense and hard to push roots thru :(

    dont worry at all about them. give them heaps of water and they will survive anything. i've done lots of cuttings in my time and it's definitly not uncommone for 1 in 8 to go black. but the important thing is to keep watering them. most of the cuttings that have turned black for me have looked pretty miserable however a few weeks later they will push out a lil green shoot from the black stem. the new growth will be fully climatized to its new environment. amazing isnt it?

    the worst thing, IMO, is the humidity dome. what the humidity dome does is keep the plant addicted to humidity and she suffers terrible withdrawal when she doesnt get it of if a gusty winds blows out the humidity. if it were me, i'd first check how her roots are by gently removing her from the pot and tease the roots so the soil is removed. if she has a good amount of roots then re pot her and remove the humidity dome. then saturate the entire thing. the top may turn a lil black but the new growth will be climatized to the new environment. it's not nice to see your plant turn black and look like it's dying, but in the end it will be for the best.

    i've tried growing in full sun, shade, the dark, in humidity domes, in hot environments, in colder ones, etc but the best formular i've found ins no humidity dome, shade, crap loads of water and rich rich loose soil. i've noticed that the plant will apear MORE velvety if kept in an environment with low levels of humidity and the rich soil gives it a deep green colour wich i can only assume is good. strong sun reduces velvetyness and makes the leaves wrinkled however they grow a lil faster. tempurature doesnt do alot when greater then about 25*c however lower temps sometimes slow growth, especially at realy low temps. at these temps they should be protected from frost or ultra cold rain like in the middle of winter. wind can also hurt her

    ps they seem to LOVE rich rich soil. i planted one in a shady compost heap and the leaves are the darkest i've ever seen a salvia and they are beautiful and velvety.

    i'm sorry guys, i always rant like mad when it comes to sally's :(

    my loph is blushing slightly on the sides from too much sun. Is this going to injure her? Or will she be fine? I think she's kinda pretty with her pink skin but i dont wanna hurt her. Thoughts anyone?

    i'll start by saying sorry if this is in the wrong thread, seeing as its not a plant or seed.

    long story short, i met a guy today who had aquired a 25L permethrin concentrate ready for dilution. dilution ratio is 1:160 and of course, the dilutant is just water. the guy paid $300 for it but realy just wants to get rid of it for $150 for the lot. he'd like to get what he'd paid for it but realy just wants it out of his house. when watered down, the product is labled an ant and spider spray. it is from the factory he works at. i just thought i'd do the guy a favour and see if anyone here wants it? life time supply of spider spray for a bargain!

    victoria only as i'll prob have to drop it off personally. he eont sell it by the liter and i dont think he'd be down for trading either. just $$$$

    any takers?

    Edit: i'm not gonna play postie for 25L of permethrin concentrate for nothing! So $150 minimum for the lot

    so far its 4 names now, that includes you madhouses, plus whoever wants to be in it at the melb plant meet. The melb meet Just seems like an appropriate place to draw it :)

    less then 3 weeks to go before the draw! Sorry its so far away. I dont even know if they will survive, i hope they do. Hopefully they do, but dont worry, if they dont the winner will still get something good. Be sure of that.

    the capsule has 5 parts:

    the cover

    the pot/cup

    the soil in the cup

    the plant in the soil

    the rubber ring

    everything but the rubber ring is pretty self explanatory from the pics. th trick is in the soil and rubber ring. first the soil is packed in quite tight so it cant realy fall. as well as this, there is a stiff rubber, perhaps soft plastic ring that sits around the base of the plant, held above the soil and wedged into the top of the cup. if you nook carefully at the pic, you can see this ring. this leaves a lil, roughly 10mm hole in the middle of the ring for the plant to grow in. as long as its packed in propperly, it doesnt seem to fall too much into the capsule
