    When did the world loose it's way?

    as a little boy, i was fully into astronomy and space travell, and still i am, hmm... i am here because of tasks i have to do. unfortunately earth is ruled by deception, the rulers tell us what to think. i remeber the firts time a space shuttle craft lost some of the heat-pads, this was i guess 27 years ago. i was very concerned and my master told me, don't worry they use a better glue now to stick them on. but we all know it happend again, with loss of life. my reason for beeing here is to, make people wake up. wake up nasa, you covered up a faulty device for many years and you will even continue doing so. saving money, by not replacing new heat-pads. f**k you NASA only you are to blame. this just had to come out. NASA stopp this design or it will happen again.

    sceletium powder

    the first time i did it, i took it to the brown stage. but now i stopp much earlier, reason beeing to conserve a nicer "apperance". if you leave it too long, it's aswell very hard to collect, (scrape) up the material. lack of sunlight at the end of the procedure meant i used the baking oven to finish the job off. apart from oxalic acid, we want to get rid off the chlorophille (sore the spelling) and the sun's rays love doing that for us. i don't know if, leaving the stuff for long will reduce the potency, but it certainly reduces the yield.

    Psychotria viridis

    a gnome allmost broke thru smoking only a third of a leave. if gnome would have had a second hit, he certainly would have. the colors and geometric figures where, how shall gnome say it: very faint. the problems you desribe mean, you didn't care well for this plant. if stressed the leaves drop downwards, so too little watter is ruled out. overwatering and bad drainage can cause leaves to look like yours. BTW, my virids are overwintering outdoors.

    mitragyna speciosa extr.

    befor it gets illegal, why not talk about extractions made from this plant? proposed methode: 1.simmer/slighty boil the material in a water, vinegar,hcl mixture.ph~4 2. filter and reduce. 3.defat with 10% naphta, several times. 4.add the base, and don't hurry here. 5.add naphta or a more suitable solvent and wait for the goodies to move there. 6.seperate and evaporate the solvent layer. this is the common a/b methode so my Q: does anybody know the fine tuneing suitable for kratom? defattening seems to work, now lets find out how different np react. got a feeling not to rise the ph too much. or how is it done, by which methode? pls, help! -------------------------------------------------- here,edited to keep the momentum up: the behavior is like that of somniferum, it leaves a milky sort of rim on your ware... guess i could not save a lot, because of "lots of clouds", understand? after minute trial runs, the material was not deffatted. the fat was taken out with the layer and will be re run. here a trick: if boiling stuff, invert the lid of your pot and place a little bowl in the centre of your big pot. like this all the "stuff", either good or bad (depending what you do!) gets trapped! keep this upside down lid cool, or even put a spiral of cold water (in form of a 10 mm hose or so) on top and keep the cold water source running. like this you can distille clean water, by all thou respect,bla, bla... planthelper is not plantsnursery, its purly, mom co...

    Preferred acacia

    rudolf steiner said: we learn best, if we are ready( and eager), to do so... well,i waited long time, to be intrigued by the acacias. now i knowe a lot about them, and i (wishfull thinking) found a new "one" i only saw it yet, as a baby plant, (in the creek bed)but it spoke to me, via my inner voice. yes, i took two samples, we will find out eventualy...

    brugs - free to good home.

    the fresh flowers are a kind of yellow, and than within hours, they turn frosty pink. one is seedgrown the other a cutting of the original. those gens had been introduced into oz(in form of a cutting) by planthelpers mom 10 years ago. the other plant involved was the pink/orange suavelanos i found at the fragrant garden at the central coast. the seedpots are long and slim in appereance.

    p. aquatica freezing it's butt off?

    mabee needs light to germinate? try some seeds without soil on top. just a guess, because grasses need light to germinate, on a general rule!

    Growing kava

    my kava is the black hawaien awa, like yours. the rootsystem of this plant is extreemly virgorous, meaning using the biggest pots possible. if, the oldest leaves turn yellow, fertilize more. don't worry about the amount of light over winter too much, this plant can take it quite shady. just keep it warm, or better, very warm. in the wild this plant gets at times all its leaves and branches blown off by taifuns... and has to start, growing all its above ground level tissue, yet again. in summer, this plant can get very thirsty, watering two times a day is recommanded. two nodes cuttings or even tips are used for probagation. the arrival of the missionaries at hawai allmost proved fatal for this plant. the lutheran bible bashers where telling the natives that the devil crated this plant and ordered all of them to be destroyed. the katholics in comparesment didn't like it either, but showed more tolerance. anyway, on the chiefs order, this plant was hidden at a save location for many, many years... btw i am looking for other cultivars which are said to be in oz allready. i want to breed new varietys. don't reply now saying kava never sets seeds or flowers, because i know better than most of you! :D many of you members just copying the copy of the copys.

    Ayahuasca of Amazon

    either you smuggle or declare. eating the seeds is an other methode. diplopterys cabreana, paullinia cupana, erythroxylum spp(lowland/inland variety). are a few plants we haven't got yet...

    DMT in plants

    hmm, but dmt containing acacias allways grow in a group. it's simply the plants job, to contain those substances. for defence yes , but the bigger picture is where else would they go? in our earth bubble, nothing gets lost... it's all part of a cicle/circle. phragmites aswell, never allowes anything else to grow with it.

    mitragyna speciosa extr.

    as expected, the second run, still produced good material. the fats are easy to handle, because they move slow. first suck with syringe or turkey baster, but later, when we "try to get the rest out"just, pour it, because fats are slow. vicosity, yes! bioessay/selbstversuch: i tasted the mustard powder and yes, it got my "tastbud" approval. than i had to (and i am not a snorting type of a person) to sniff a tiny little amount. well, first i got tired and than, i decided to walk in my garden to freshen me up. suddenly i started digging and doing all those tasks i had been putting of for ages. this active phase, lasted 4 2h.

    mitragyna speciosa extr.

    i want to give my extract to some sientist out there! if it helps.so we can learn more about this plant... the solvent dried up very fast, leaving me with nice, fine, not at all oily/moist, yellow material.it looks like mustard powder.the second run hasn't been processed yet. i describe one of my so called minute trials: 20ml or so of the initial acid soup, was made just neutral. suddenly a small red clear layer formed at the bottom.the same thing happend in a similar way to me with other stuff aswell, hmmm i thought as it looked very promising aswell. in short the bottom layer was mixed with the np and sure as hell it looks as most goodies got caught that way. but dont get confused here, the bulk amount of the material's ph was risen to ph10 or more i guess. the liquid has to be red and no white precipitate floating arround no more, understand. :D

    Kitchen Chemists Salvia Divinorum Extraction Techniques

    if one evaporates a lot, the 3rd or 4th naphta removal just jumps to action ( no blind dating at this stage, at this time{clear seperation, can take place at the first wash}[because concentrated]). but the second ipa wash, might be allready be too much... certainly, very nice layers! but wait, at the beginning for it all, to settle down, this means bottom/residue removal. :D the material is clear and yellow/green in color.

    Kitchen Chemists Salvia Divinorum Extraction Techniques

    vivid, the first ipa is spectacular, the second allready can strip the goodies... but before this: ooh, those first few blind naphta removals, but wait...(use a mark on the glassware) and later, the layer will appear. have your solution(use evaporation) strong ,and good luck! have small glassware ready at the end...
