    Datura metel var fastuosa

    My brugs and metel v.fastuosas are still flowering hard. It has been an 8 month flowering cycle so far. I have a double and a triple outof my batch of fastuosa seeds i tried to cross pollenate them but from hearing they are self fertile we will never know if it woked lol. Gonna try and grow most of the seeds out.
  2. a friend on the gold coast has one that shows this type of elongated groeth, but my TBM never does. Even though his longer ones also exhibit the same stout sections in some cases they also often throw these longer smoother ones. whereas mine pretty much grows long and fat at the same time without fail, and the initia growth has clearly defined ribs until they fully swell out which is always at the same size, just like eggs. People try to say they are the same but in over 25 cuttings i have taken off mine all put into different conditions i can't induce that sort of growth. I guess it COULD be etiollation of some sort i try to give mine fairly strong sunlight though none of my cuttings do until second segment is pretty much fully formed. edit: the more i look at the main segment the more i think that maybe i could just keep mine in bright enough light that they dont stretch.
  3. 8- opuntia a few mammilarias in there too i think. Sorryi can't be more help.

    Chilli Wing eating competition.

    I remember the video you shared of the chilli wing eating comp a while back. I could gain much enjoyment from watching people torture themselves. Any word on what sort of chillis are in the sauce and at what strength? Should glaze with choc habanero pureé :D

    Wanted to trade/buy...pereskiopsis.

    Providded they are still in my yard and not washed downsream by the floods i have maybe 10+ spare plants that are 20-40cm in height multiple stems, ideally would need to take and root cuttings to get them ideal for grafts. Id trade a few metres of the shit for any amount of any tricho that i dont have

    Australian Ethnobotanical Association

    A thought for saving costs is that i just upgraded my hosting and only use around 1/4 of my bandwidth. I can provide a few people with FTP access to store files and stuff temporarily for sharing with the rest of the interested parties. Another thing to consider is contacting michael balderstone and co at the hemp embassy. I am sure they would be able to provide a lot of good solid information on and examples of all the relevant documentation that we would need to provide before becoming a 'legitimate assosciation'. Furthermore i think they woudl be happy to dedicate some time to helping us get this started. I am very keen to put as much time and resources (Aside from money as that is limited) towards this as is needed.

    Not long now till se QLD Cube season!!!

    Lamiters crossing, Advancetown hotel (look around these areas you will find secluded paddocks with fruits) Please harvest with a blad dont tear them out. I don't hunt Gold Coast anymore but seriously ANYWHERE just about up towards currumbin, advancetown, canungra that has cow paddocks you will likely find shrooms. a FOAF spread spores through most of tyhe paddocks in the advancetown area over a two year period so there should be an abundance of them around! If u are referring to cararra markets DONT go picking there. The crappest most open spot ever. Near robina railway station is a massive open paddock (you are visible but easy enough to escape if trouble arises) I honestly think that every cow paddock on the gold coast produces fruits eithe P. cyans or cubensis. I have never had a trip where i have fouhnd NOTHING. just other times are better than the rest. Good luck and any SE QLDerts who want some better directions feel free to shout out! edit: for those wondering why i share this, well simply shrooms are the drug that has opened the mind of many of my firends to the realities in our world. I feel this should be shared with all. Furthermore i dont hunt the spots anymore someone else might as well make use of them. Just be an ethical harvester, if you get more than you need invest in a dehydrator. spread the spores (tap shrooms opr use bigreds tek above)

  9. Don't forget alchohol... amongst other commonly used substances that become analogues. New laws are so frickin funny when you look into just what is covered by this ban. They are going to need to create a "Things that ARE analogues of illegal substances, but we let you have anyway" list. Funny that it will have two things on it "Alchohol and Tobacco" the two that we really need to have controlled...

    The federal model schedules are coming

    Just about everyone i talk to calls them datura or tree datura also. I think this come from names being passed down with the plants from quite a while back. The general population don't keep up to date with, or care about, taxonomical changes.

    New Greenhouse

    Hehe my bunnings one didnt die by itself though i pulled it apart to move and the plastic all stuck together and i couldnt get it back apart again like everyone else i still have the shelves. Decent quality shelves. And all the extra bars have become stakes in my garden so it has all gone to use :D For $99 i didnt expect hat much. I purchased a $200 one that is made of much stronger materials (plastic cover more like a tarp strength wise rather than glad wrap. And the solid metal poles are like those on atrampoline. Didnt come with shelves but i prefer to use the old ones i have and custom build some new ones I have found a heap of real cheap greenhouses on crazysales. They are the same price i paid for my bunnings one but twice the size and stronger materials 3.5 x 2m = 95 + 30 shipping http://www.crazysales.com.au/large-round-roof-plant-greenhouse-3-5m-x-2-0m-x-2-0m.html
  12. They came back. So i have removed the lions tail plants, and daturas that they seemed to be breeding on (will re-grow them from seed) Doing the wettable sulphur thing again. I think the reason i like the wettable sulphur so much is that once the water evaporated there is a nice even coating of sulphur the whole way over the plant, it is pretty much impossible to miss a spot. And it annihilated the bugs. Never heard to use peppermint oil bbefore but i will be sure to look into it now.I have a peppermint that is goig rampant wonder if i could make the oil myself.

    anonymous to take out facebook nov 5

    Facebook wont be crashed by DDoS it is very unlikely anyway. They have numerous backup servers and failsafes to make this not the case, I would say it is more likely they are looking to hack the servers and initiate a shutdown on them from internally, though even this is one heck of a feat. The thing that shits me is that the downturn in profits is due to the lack of newly released games under their banner (in my opinion). people get sick of paying for in game bonuses after a while and they lose their sheen. Likewise people get over the games in generall and advertisers dont get the hits they want. i personally think that once this layoff goes ahead and they buy the new games you will see profits steadily rise again. I think this is why anonymous is threatening. They could spend some of their savings to buy new games and market them but instead they opt to fire a substantial amount of employees to fund this venture. And then outsource the work to the cheapest slave labor country they can find. But i guess this is how pretty much all big business works these days "100% Australian owned but 100% made in china" All of this masked under the guise of their profits being low. edit: also they are planning to relase TYLER on the 5/11/12
