    Successful De-grafts

    Doesn't this defeat the purpose though. Why not just use very small stock height wise to begin with and bury it as stated above. Otherwise doing this isn't it likely to detach itself eventually anyway except this time it will be in the soil where you wont notice or be able to trat the rot? just a theory.
  2. How can i tell you how much to put in when you havent told me what the specifications of the fertiliser are? I suggested to aim around halfway between the misting and medium level watering dose initially for watering and maybe 3/4 foliar strength. That is as accurate as i can give on that point without seeing the product specifications, even then i wouldn't really know hence i am offering advice on the strengths of other nutrients i personally used. This is meant to be as a comparison. I am saying i use x amount of miracle grow compared to y which is the amount it says on the label. This should at least help to give you an idea of what it can tolerate. My plants are likely able to redily absorb more nutrients too as they are in more ideal conditions most of the time. For a 50ml bottle i would use 1/20th of a small measuring cup (the ones they provide you with)of miracle grow. A 1L sprayer would be much easier to measure an accurate amount into as well. When making 50ml at a time its very easy to go dramatically over or under as it only requires a few specks on fertiliser. edit: edited capsule out and put measuring cup(provided) in which makes much more sense.
  3. I keep my psychotrias in my hot house, which is now getting to much sun and getting shit hot. but plenty of humidity. Powerfeed is the miracle gro stuff isnt it? i use that(around 3/4 strength) and gogojuice myself. Maybe fortnightly they get a good soaking until water is gushing out the bottoms with this feed. I foliar spray inside the hothouse 2-3 times daily the morning and midday ones are plain water maybe some seasol(1l sprayer does the whole hot house nicely) and later in the day some season with trace amounts of powerfeed(half a little scoop) They just keep going beserk so i assume they like it, You will know if they get too much feed the leaves will start going all mutated and curled up. Back it off a bit at this point. What your psychotria would want is down to how vigorously its growing, how frequently you are watering, current weather and what sort of soil it is in. Its the same with growing cannabis, start low and let the plants tell you what they need. My nexus that have been put into a quality potting mix are growing incedibly fast. I think that if you continue to pot them out as they fill their pots they pretty much dont need nutes, but if you are hoping to keep them in the smaller pots you would probably want to water weekly with nutes and foliar spray with seasol and nutes every afternoon. As they won't be able to get much from a pot of that size, especially enough to sustain them through the growth season. The folar spray is the best thing for helping them grow! what are the ratios that it reccomends for those different plant types? Maybe start halfway between thr foliar mixture and the herbs one for your watering and use the foliar mix to do your foliar sprays. This is only a guess based on roughly the ratios i use of other nutes on mine. edit: one more quick tip, most people who think their psychotrias are dead can actually save them quite easily. If there is any green left in the stems whatsoever cut it right back down to the green and put it inside a very humid area and it will throw new leaves from the nodes and suckers. If you look closely at the nodes of old broken/dead branches you will see the tiny new leaves waiting for their chance to burst forth. I mean it grows from leaf cuttings! And with minimal care at that i have been progressively more lazy with my leaf cuttings and now just chuck them into a clip lock bag witha cm of water in the bottom no paper towel or anything and they still root very well. Or rammed in soil inside the hothouse. they shrivel and keel over for a week or two, look like they are going to die and then just as im about to throw them out i see signs of life :D

    mixed Trichocerus seedlings 2+yearold

    *goes to try and convince the wife to let him spend MORE money on cacti* I would gladly take 50 off your hands provided i can get the wifey to agree to it. I imagine they will be gone quick though so i wil ltry to be fast !
  5. quite an interesting read i must say, makes me think back to my younger years exploring forbidden systems. Those wer the days, now odds are i could barely even get into a protected system LOL.

    Affordable Brisbane real estate

    If you dont mind being a bit out of the city look around clevelnad, Russel island etc it is maybe half hour-1hr from the city. Trains link the two quite frequently. Much smaller community, and much less full on busy. prices go right down to $100 a week or less on the island.

    need help with finding some herbs

    I have a small brahmi plant here and can get more from the local markets if you want? i think he sells them for $3 or $4 each. Also i have dried gotu kola herb if you wanted to try that, i saw it was listed above.

    What a joke

    LOL for a 6 month old seedling. Hellz yeah i am going to plant 1,000 loph seeds and in 6 months i will have a stock value of $10,000. FTW. Combine that with my tricho hybrids i have planted, by his pricing scales i actually have arond 60,000$ in stock. LOLOLOL. Don't tell the insurance company though. You know what is even more of a joke on ebay. The people selling supplements such as PEA, Hordenine and so forth. I can sell for half of many of the sellers price while still making 250% profit on some things. It isn't my fault that people are stupid. Supply and demand baby and the demand is coming from the uneducated which is even better! Bingo, i wouldn't be surprised at all. Just to be able to find a peyote plant on ebay for $10 for some kid who has just found out about entheogens would be a score and a half. If people are prepared to pay the money than good for the seller IMO. Look at how much Loph texana seeds go for on there its crazy, but we can't all be nice and so generous all the time as we still need to look out for ourselves. Then of course there is the people who were selling synthetic cannabis. Making like 1,000% profit. Yet because the people are so naive they are content to pay the prices.

    my newst hiphop track

    Although i can't actually understand what you're saying i like the beat it takes. Reminds me a bit of oz hip hop even in the vocal 'tone', and fortunately sounds nothing like american

    msx vitus

    aaah tripper, i was so confused. yeh seems dry enough, to apply pollen to my brugs should i just bash some of these sticks around the inside of my flowers ? this is a tad new to me. i thought it might be the pollen as i ended up with a bit of fine powder over my fingers when handling it. Thanks for confirming. also, shortly do you have a machine that seals the foil bags ? if so what are they worth ?

    Interesting little hybrid seedling

    it is possible. The bottom three are of the same plant. It may also have been an acid burn or something as i think my kids gave them a spray one time with the nutrient bottle. I will let it go and see what happens as time goes on. It stayed dormant with just the two 'hairs' poking out the top initially, then after a week or two these lifted up to reveal the bulge underneath, i would have expected that if it was a pup it would have grown out the side of these hairs rather than right under them though. So exciting i will just have to wait and see i guess. Needless to say i hope i am hoping for something strange. And three in particular have taken my interest as they are approximately 4 times the size of the rest, and also far more well established root systems. A bit off topic but wondering if using a more vigorous stock for grafting would make for more vigorous growth of the scion ? i.e. i wonder if a psycho0, or extremely vigorous hybrid could offer faster growth of a scion than a regular pach? Theoretically it should work but yeh... I think i can see an experiment coming on!
  12. So i grew around 100 ss02 x bridgesii seedlings out and ended up with around 40 left after some foolish descisions. I have ended up with this little cutie looking quite a bit different to the rest. It has formed a little globe on the top with spines coming out any which way whereas the rest have continued to grow in a columnar fashion from the get go. I will attach pics of a regular one and the freak for you to chec out. By the way the dome is swelling i am hoping it might actually crest or something as it isn't growing up but rather out or else maybe it got damaged on the tip or something? hoping one of the members on here might be able to help me figure it out. Originally i thought it was just a slower developer but as it now doesn't seem to want to grow up like the rest i am hoping for a mutant. It may be wishful thinking but meh. here is the regular ss02 x Bridgesii seedling showing typical growth traits of all the rest These are the one that has shown odd growth pretty much from the start.

    remedies for 'brainfriedness'

    5-HTP and b6 will help you to alleviate the symptoms of the 'Brainfriedness' but will not actually cure it as such. As the serotonin tolerance is temporary, low dose 5-HTP and B6 should keep you feeling at a relatively normal level, and tapering off the dose may theoretically leave your serotonin receptors without the tolerance, and your brain producing ideal amounts of serotonin on its own(not needing the 5-HTP) Essentially this would purely be masking the symptoms and hoping your body fixes itself underneath. My comments here are very uneducated as i am only going off what i read briefly into the topic a while back. And the stuff i was reading generally related to MDMA usage. However The damage should still be temporary and a combination of a few things in this thread should help immensely. - good diet and excersize, this is what is actually going to help you to get better. I am still unawares of a quickfix for damaged brain receptors sorry. - Happy, Bright, Fun environment, try and surround yourself with happy bright colors and people. Try to think of positive things when you can. - 5-HTP and B6, low dosages of these to boost serotonin levels may mask the symptoms. - patience, many people i have spoken to say it has taken them years to fully recover but a lot of these people were not eating well and so forth. A final note is that i have heard Brahmi (Bacopa Monneiri) is meant to help with the protection and rebuilding of damaged neuron. Also regulates GABA and Serotonin when they are up/down-regulated
  14. I met Monica briefly at mardigrass this year just gone, seemed to be a genuine soul, i hope it wasn't a facade. If people are worried about your anonymity you can use a proxy to do the survey. I really do hope that you, monica, are actually working in an unbiased approach as you stated to us. As you say there are so many people using and growing for legitimate reasons. Mainly to avoid dealing with organised crime groups to get their medicine. I hope that your research, particularly this survey, will be able to demonstrate this to the wider community. Here is to hoping that the source of funding isn't able to taint the outcome of the research as has happened so much in the past. I hope we may meet again and have a chat about how things are going for you and what is actually becoming of the results of the research

    Did I Buy The Right Sulphur?

    It says to spray onto leafy plants for treatments of fungus and so forth. I had never planned to actually use it with water on my cacti as it seems stupid to spray water on it lol. The powder in mine is much finer than the granules in the other though so it would probs be a better option for future purchases in bunnings. I sprinkled some dry over a few of my cacti to see if there are any negative effects but as far as i can see it is just sulphur with 200mg/g of filler in there. I had originally bought it as i thought wettable meant i would be able to spray it and it wouldn't wash off easily, next time i am spending the money on something like this i may actually read the bottle. Either way i am sure it should work as a dusting sulphur it is the same consistency. note: After comparing ingredients with other sulphurs on the market it appears to be fine. We shall wait and see how the dusted cacti turn out. good to know about the tomato dust the only thing i thought may be an issue is that the other ingredients could possibly be harmful. The trouble is that they market so many products for specific purposes that its hard to know if it will work for me. Like most of the sulphurs have information on application to tomatoes and veggies which is obviously not going to help me.

    msx vitus

    I got some of this stuff in the mail today, no idea where from no letter nothing. A tad strange if anyone sent it too me let me know otherwise ill assume they gave me a free sample. edit: a foil lock type bag with what appears to be a heap of twigs inside it ? edit2: i guess what worries me the most is it came in an envelope that had been taped up over a company logo with no information or anything, furthermore the internet reveals sweet F/A... I am really curious but hesitant to do anything. I will take some pics of the twigs later. Might try and find a contact number for the company tomorrow if i turn nothing up.

    Bad batch of E- Loius Vuitton- via news.com.au

    Good question, some people would do anything for a buck, although killing off your clients doesn't seem like the mot effective way to go about it. Yeah, now its scary to think that you could get any number of various chemicals, most far more toxic than that which you are expecting. I dont get why if people want to sell PMA they dont actually MARKET it as PMA at least that way people could effectively research and realise they are probably going to only need a minimal dose. I would hope that the spate of overdoses etc will get this investigated and the people taken down and charged with X charges of manslaughter. This is the reason that i elected to not use pills and so forth as they slowly moved away rfrom MDMA and the effects i was getting were not what i wanted, then with research i realised that odds are i wasn't even getting what the bastards told me i was getting i realised that its not a world i want to be involved in. The idea that i could take a pill one week and get the 'same' pill the next week which will put me in hospital is scary. I once met a few people on the gold coast at a party that used to grind down their pills and re-press them with an assortment of additives and fillers, One batch had a bit much of one additive in it and 6 people at one of the parties ended up in hospital. The worst part is that because we don't know whats in it it will take twice as long for the paramedics to find the problem. With an overdose odds are this is the difference between life and death.

    Did I Buy The Right Sulphur?

    iI gopt the same brand from bunnings the other day but it is slightly different and was going t o ask the same thing. Mine is the wettable sulphur 800g/kg Sulphur. also this seems to be in dust form not granules. Would it be ok to just sprinkle this on or should it be sprayed as per instructions I also have tomato dust which could probs do the same job as it has the following in it (corrent me if i am wrong) 400g/kg Sulphur, 40g/kg Copper, 0.5g/kg Spinosad
  19. I had slightly misread the post relating to the AE user, my response was more meant to say that everyone who came onto the site to participate in the attack was a bastard didnt really notice the all in there, but i had never said ALL 4chan users were bastards although i may not have clearly stated that i was reffering to those involved in this case enough for your liking. TBH i think i may have had a bit much to smoke before replying to that post, and got so caught up in my immense hatred of bullies that i read what i wanted kind of gave that impression' date=' I can see that this may have needed the removal of the word [i']Whole[/i]. As clearly it isn't all of them doing it. I was referring to those involved, as that is what i THOUGHT this topic is/was about... Not 4chan on the whole and whether we think it is right or wrong. I will rephrase my point as clearly as i possibly can. Anyone who is going out of their way to hurt another person, or takes 'sport' in this act, is a bastard. I was trying to specifically aim my opinion at those who to make fun of other people. Which is a large part of why /b/ exists, no matter how much we try to deny it.edit: fuck half my post disappeared ill rewrite it later.
  20. Some of the people on those sites(4chan etc) are not bastards, but everyone who participated in the direct abuse in this case, are. Why? For inflicting psychological trauma on a person who has done nothing to them. Your whole spiel about people who do this do that makes no sense here either because, all who bully another person even if nothing bad comes of it ARE BASTARDS. I don't care if its because of some deep psychological trauma in their past who are they to take it out on someone else, who has contributed nothing to the pain they feel within themselves. The point i am trying to make has nothing to do with her actions, essentially all they did was bring it into our attention what is going on.
  21. Yes that is my logic, if people go anywhee or do anything purely to cause trouble then they are a *insert descriptive bad word*, albeit not a bastard as dogs aren't that adapt at typing, though they are about on par with intellectual thinking. This is only if the person is clearly trying to stir the pot and not actually contribute a valid point. My post stated that if they are trying to "inflict pain on or belittle someone else" that they are horrible people. I am not talking about people who are just talking shit about the world in general, i am talking about people specifically attacking an individual person, without actually contributing anything to help them better themselves. Talk along the lines of "shove your face in a toaster" or "hurry up and kill yourself already" isn't exactly the same as what was posted on these forums... The punishment may vary depending on the severity of the crime but yes they should all be punished, even if the guy flaming on here only got banned from the site this is still a punishment, yet the people behind the bullying here are going to get nothing except publicity. Explain your post to me then as no matter how i look at it i cant find a different understanding. I agree with the part about them being a big part of the humor of the internet but this topic isn't funny, AT ALL. edit: and without the anonymity that the site offers how many of these people actually say these things?

    remedies for 'brainfriedness'

    And vitamin b6
  23. Seriously did you read your post before you posted it... They abuse and belittle people for the "lulz" and you say they are not bastards? There is a fine line between afunny meme and a full blown assault on an induvidual person by a whole network of fuckwits. Anyone who goes out of their way to inflict pain on someone else be it physical or mental is a bastard and deserves punishment. She tried to kill herself after finding out that the many of the people were actually educated citizens of our country. It is easy to tell yourself that its all just a laugh and probably some kids playing around until you read into it and many of the people are university staff, and high ranking social figures, i think this was the turning point for here into a suicidal state of mind. You cant block the posts because they also use their taglines the # comments and so forth, even when blocked from your feed the posts will still be showing up on thousands of feeds round the world and eventually back to you through a different source. plus these people have hundreds of twitter accounts capable of mass spammings block one they jump on another. It is a conglomerate of hackers, bullies and social retards taking their revenge on the world any way possible Oh yeah coz if she hung out with justin beiber and the strait edge patrol she would have been totally exempt from this. FFS it doesn't matter who your friends are, or whether they are "nice boys". No-one is deserving of what she received i don't see how and/or why people are trying to justify the actions of these people. There is NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THEIR ACTIONS, Anyone who takes pleasure in this sort of thing has some serious issues. so True, but this is the way we live and wonder why our kids are going crazy causing shit "do as i say not as i do" I would agree fully with this. the most beautiful and popular are often the most fragile. Turning off the computer in this day and age isnt enough, it then comes to your phone, the radio talks about it. The news talks about it. I am kinda glad i am not famous thats for sure. *watches claws begin to unsheath* OMG i know right its a shock.
  24. If she has suffered these traumas in the past and lived through it and now become an advocate it may be something that you can't ignore. Even if you do prepare yourself for it a consistent barrage of abuses eventually catches you in adark place and you think "maybe if all these thousands of people are saying it it might be true". While i hate myself for thinking this it could also be a well aimed angle at getting her point over. But in a world of sex tapes and so much more for publicity, this seems perfect i mean look at the headlines "Bullying advocate bullied into attempted suicide" but who knows really. Either way the fact the people said those things is horrible and completely unjustified. I hope that this makes them feel like crap because they should. It isn't exactly a cause that is going un-noticed anyway, just un-rectified. I know right.
  25. russel island has gone up something like 500% in the last few years. I worked up near there not long ago and my boss lives there. I am pretty sure in 5 years his value has gone up 650% on his house / land so you would want to get in there quick. The ferry back and forth is a pain but for te price it is something you could deal with. The best part is being a small island there is a community of people that are willing to help each other out etc. I often did plastering work up there for nothing but meals and a place to stay a few days. They now have police on the island though which sucks used to be rad to drive around in un-regoed cars stickin it to the man. edit: cut quote down a bit to pretty the thread up, Also keep an eye out for council and police auctions in my local town a house just up from me on a 1560square metre block sold for 58,000 its value on the market is around 200,000. However it is an area that deosn't sell well as it gets blocked off in floods, dont go under just get blocked off maybe once a year tops. If you are wondering the council sells the blocks after 5 years of unpaid rates(i think it was 5 years)
