Happy Bday @Seldom

Here are a few babies i repotted last week, Im loving this new mineral mix If anyones is interested in where to get a good quality mineral mix from, talk to @theuserformallyknownasd00d

My guess is it was trigger by the crazy heat wave we had over the last month or so Possibly damaged outer surface cells which may have sent cellular signals to the rest of the plant indicating its time to perform apoptosis Post up some pics

^^My god she is crazy talented So sad listening to her talk about her mush induced psychosis, the poor thing Perfect example of why i get so frustrated when people start talking about psychedelics like they are magical pills that will heal all problems.

If anyones looking for grafting stock, im about to cut back a mother load of pereskiopsis. Ill put aside a 10L bucket full of cut up pieces, free to anyone who wants to pick it up from the Hunter.

If its growing significantly slower than it did in previous seasons, Its possible its starting to stall its growth due to being root bound. Some trichos seems to handle being root bound ok for a few years while others will just stop growing and slowly turn yellow more quickly. This may account for why the brothers and sisters are doing better. or i could be totally off the mark Liquids ferts will fix the problem caused by stalled root growth temporarily but i find for the fastest growth above ground you need space for the roots to expand below. Either Way, Happy Gardening.

Hey @Alice If you wouldn't mind jumping into this conversation, Id be interested in your opinions on what you think a realistic timescale to transitioning from coal to renewable energy would be?

I can appreciate the point your making @ThunderIdeal, you are certainly correct in saying im impartiality leaning towards the current scientific community’s view points rather than conspiracy theories. I choose to do this because good science is repeatable and stands up to scrutiny. In fact the more heavily a scientific theory is challenged the more certain we can be of its validity. Albert Einstein is the perfect example of this. Many scientist have attempted to scrutinize his works, and show it to be invalid, but so far, knowone has been able to come up with a model that is has greater predictive value. The point I was trying to make was that if Sheldrake theories about gravity not being constant are in fact true. He would have been able to prove it to the world’s best physicists and probably won a noble prize for his efforts. But instead he chooses to write books to get his ideas out to the masses without first being reviewed by experts in the field. If you have alook over the criticisms section of Sheldrake’s wiki page it becomes very clear why he is a fraud. After putting out these outrageous claims about gravity, he has moved along to topics like memory. Writing books about the science of memory while ignoring the vast amounts of criticism he received from world leading neurologist. When making the point about large amounts of money corrupts, we should keep in mind that Sheldrake would have made large sums of money from his book publishing deals and i think it’s fair to say if he remained a cell biologist for the rest of his career it would have significantly decreased his income. I do like your train of thought, its important to look at who is profiting off an idea to access how legitimate it is. If Sheldrake theories about gravity are true, who is profiting from tricking us all into thinking it’s 9.8m/s? Some people like to make the argument that academic would prefer not to change the status quo because then that would require whole new textbooks to be written. This argument is often made by people who aren’t aware textbooks are updated yearly, sometimes just to add a single paragraph or remove some outdated knowledge. There is a lot of money to be made in rewriting textbooks.

As titled id like this thread to become full of pictures of animals in your garden so to get things started.

Yer, Rupert Sheldrake seems to be heavily criticized by the majority of the scientific community. I dont understand why a cell biologist would decided to write books about topics outside his field of expertise. Surely he would understand if his theories are credible they would pass sufficient scientific scrutiny and be publish in a respected journal.

Hey Zedo, I have not seen any credible evidence to suggest the flat earth theory is more valid than the current round earth model. But i would be interested to have a look at the maths your talking about. Im not sure how a flat earth would be possible. But if there is compelling evidence to prove it to be valid ill happily change my position. My biggest points of confusion with the flat earth are... How would gravity be generated? How would satellites stay in the sky? Why dont planes or boats fall off the edge? Why dont we have good pictures of the edge? Are the other planets flat too? Christopher Columbus seems to be known as one of the major names claiming the earth was round, back when the majority still believed it was flat. I dont see what motivation an explorer would have to propose a fake geographical theory, when his life depends upon how well he could navigate his way around the ocean. Rather than reading other people's ideas, pro or against the theory, why not test it? It wouldn't be to difficult to make a hot air balloon that could go up high enough to take pictures of the curvature of the planet. Maybe mount a mobile phone to the balloon, video call it, then let it go and see what you can see

Last fruit of the season opened this morning. SS Bridgesii seed germinated by @Sallubrious Gifted to me as a 15cm baby many years ago. Thanks mate, its grown up to be a beautiful plant

More de grafts, Today i chopped the TPM x Huarazensis. Great news, the biggest one started to melt

Some more de grafted plants Incog bridgesii x 4 & Incog cordobensis x 2 Master B scop x Yowie & Zed420 Psycho0 x Yowie

De grafted a few cutting this morning Psych00 x TPM LumberJack x TPM

Strapped down my bed. Feet cold and eyes red.I'm out my head. Am I alive, am I dead?Can't remember what they said.God damn. Shit the bed!

@theuserformallyknownasd00d there are a few possible mutants there, Ill know for certain in a few weeks

Freshly grafted Nitrogen hybrids

Pyscho0 x TPM TPM x Sharxx Blue LumberJack x TPM

Seed grown Astrophytum

Manu and i are not the same person if thats what your asking
