myco

i live in town and there's nothing near here that would require it there's just farms with paddocks full of cows around here no vineyards or orchards or anything like that so there's really no need for anyone anywhere nearby to be using them I've done vineyard work in the past to and had bird cannons going off just a few 100 metre's away and i have to say the sound is just not quite the same its much louder most of the time and i don't think one of those could really create enough of a boom to shake the house its fuckin strange man it sounds like its coming from the ground like something really heavy hitting the ground i really wanna find a logical explanation to it to but nothing about it seems to make sense

just to let you all know it happened again on the 26th about 9:30 at night it was a really really loud one and then again the next morning about 8:30 its really loud and sounds so close that it literally sounds like its in my own backyard i dunno what the fuck this is its pretty weird i mean the house shakes when it happens i dunno i just get more confused about what it is every time i hear it i cant come up with a logical answer to it nothing about it seems to make any sense its so random i wish i could get some recordings of it but its always just a single boom and so randomly it would be hard to do without basically having something recording 24/7

This is true dumping bags of ice on a patch can help trigger fruiting Do it late at night when it's coldest so it lasts as long as possible

These are W.A. Subs http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30361&hl=%2Bgrowing+%2Bwoodlovers And these are a Victorian strain http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=36598&hl= Both done outdoors with great success Just use ya head you need to try and replicate the right habitat Ask yourself are they woodlovers ? are they dung lovers ? what species will your climate support It's really a very easy thing to do with very little effort that's for sure ;)

Happy birthday EG your Good man Hope ya have a great day mate

have you had a good look at any of these yet incog i acquired a couple prints a while back but haven't had the time to get the scope out yet if you now what i mean

no worries mate im a bit of a bonsai nut myself especially this year been goin nuts on em the collections getting pretty large now its a great thing to get into styling plants is now becoming one of my favorite things to do it used to stress me out a bit wondering what to do what should i cut how should i bend this and so on but now im getting into it more and more i find it very relaxing

gotta agree on that mutant mine is doing this at the moment and i love it its growing like crazy and looks really cool at this stage and most of the areoles it is producing dont even have spines

australiana plants & seeds on ebay have loads of different seed thats good for bonsai they have red Japanese maple seed http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Japanese-Red-Maple-Acer-palmatum-atropurpureum-30-Seed-/380214611335?pt=AU_Plants_Seeds_Bulbs&hash=item58868e8d87&_uhb=1

sorry for the slow reply on your last PM to GOT

FUCK i knew it hahahaha i try not to be to harsh im sorry Prier edit: I think i drank to much tonight hahha and many other nights lately again sorry prier i really dont mean to be a dick

sorry but this kinda a really pointless thread unless your a complete noob i dont know of any cacti growers on this forum that use straight potting mix for their cacti even cactus mix is absolute crap and everyone knows this sorry to say but i don't think this thread is complete crap dont wanna sound like a dick cos im honestly not i swear, GOT can vouch for me there haha if you did some research on here or other websites you would know not to use straight potting mix let alone straight cacti mix threads like this make me wish i was a MOD hahahaha sorry prier like i say i hate to sound like a dick and i probly sound like one now but this thread is completely pointless

It almost sounds like its coming from the ground This is really starting to weird me out now

Ok so wat the fuck it just happened again literally in the last few minutes probably about 3-4 mins ago And I can say now with certainty that was not a sonic boom I am right next to an open door This shits gettin a little strange now

I'm not looking to argue either buddy don't worry I have alot of respect for you to be honest

Edit: hit the bloody post button before I even typed anything Sorry as I said I'm no expert and I actually know nothing of this person zircon6 Or Kate or whatever the hell they call them selves I probly should have looked into them more I did think it seemed a little like an attack on you trucha The main thing I agreed with was well Basically from what I had read of trouts notes I myself had found it very confusing but then that may just be me I really didn't get anything out of what I had read other than more confusion about everything Again maybe that's just me After that I went on google and just looked at some reviews wich I have to say where all good reviews I think I then added the word confusing to my search and found that review and I thought alot of it I kinda got the same impression it was hard for me to read and walk away feeling like I'd really learnt much from it I have been meaning to continue reading it though so maybe my opinion will change And it will start to make some more sense to me Again trucha i cant stress it enough I mean no disrespect to you or your works Infact I commend you for your works Atleast you have made an attempt at it there's not alot of people doing as much as you are and have To shed some light on this stuff Also I definately will be wary of this zircon6 person thanks for pointing this put to me guys I was not aware that this person has some kind of beef against trout I just looked at it as a review

i think i would have had one of the best viewing points but the weather went to shit and got all cloudy i didn't see a thing

i think your right there stillman in that they are all part of a greater species and likely merely cultivars potentially created through ancient cultural/ religious uses. and yes its very likely that they will never come to a real answer I only own 2 macrogonus but they both definitely have some big differences between them one is Tipz macro the other is EG's Blue Macro and i can tell you they look very VERY different however going just of the looks of them both to me they almost seem like some kind of cross between peruvianus and something else possibly even bridgesii there ​definitely seems to be predominately peruvianus in there if you ask me however as stated above i dont think there will ever be a definitive answer to this i'd love to know more about it but its pretty unlikely there will be any definitive evidence to prove where exactly this species/cultivar originates from unfortunately i would have to disagree with allot of the findings from trouts notes no disrespect trucha but alot of your stuff is a little confusing and ill informed i dont claim to be an expert of any kind on cacti however i did read some of your work and i thought this persons review summed it up quite well http://www.trichocereus.com/trouts_snout.htm as i say I'm know expert and i mean no disrespect I'm sure you probably know a whole lot more than i do about this stuff but at the same time after reading some of your work and then finding this review this person seemed to hit the nail on the head as to my thoughts on what i had read of your work again no disrespect and i am know expert but trouts work seems to deliver nothing but even more confusion

Beautiful plants as always mutant

Well I'm about as far south as you can be in W.A. and have a fairly decent view I can't see anything at the moment the moons fairly bright out there at the moment the sky's lookin pretty clear for know wich is good definitely gonna keep my eye on the sky tonight though hopefully I get a glimpse of it from what ive read in the past it's a pretty rare thing to see the southern lights

So the 3 grafts I did (on the 20th of dec according to my last post I've really gotta start dating things) I Have kept them in the humidity chamber and they have taken well and are still lookin healthy enough no signs of growth yet so I'm gonna keep em in there at the moment But I'm still very pleased with the results so far I'll try and get some pics up later today

nah none of those crazy humming noises i seen heaps of those vids its hard to say whats fake and whats real with them if any are even real there's allot of em though its a bit scary if i heard those noises i would have been shittin myself bad that's scary as haha the closest thing i can find to it was on a series i watched not to long ago called the unexplained files this is a clip from it of the booms in cape fear in north Carolina in the U.S. one guy managed to record the sounds and that's pretty much exactly what it sounded like only its very very loud it doesn't sound like its of in the distance it sounds really close http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDIyqYTB_Vc

No humming noises and yeh we've had some earthquakes over recent years I can say it's definately not like the earthquakes I have experienced in the past they always seemed to come as a slow rumble that built up like a freight train or something coming through This is more like an explosion or like a sonic boom although it made the house shake it was very quick and loud I think at this point I'm gonna go with most likely fighter jets be interesting to see if i hear it again As I said I've only heard it the 2 times but my mum and a few friends have said they've heard it before not to long ago

Bird cannons do have a similar sound but this was way louder and we don't have any vineyards or orchards around here Unless someone fired one off for fun in the middle of town But in the middle of the day that's pretty unlikely I'm starting to think a sonic boom from a jet makes more sense than anything else With the odd times of happening in the middle of the night and in the middle of the day the next day And the fact I have seen them down here before on a few occasions the one time I had seen one flying very very low I was at the beach sandboarding ran to the top of the hill and happened to spot a little speck in the distance coming at me extremely fast and completely silent within probly a few split seconds it went directly over my head and BOOM Definately broke the sound barrier I absolutely shit my pants and literally jumped on the ground that's how low it was I thought I was going to get hit by it it looked like a fucken missile comin at me if i could pause the moment of it overhead i couldve thrown a rock at it it was seriously low then as it banked and curved around the bay you could actually see that circular shimmering coming from the wings Makes sense that maybe they have been doing some training or something still I'm pretty sure they're not allowed to break the sound barrier over land

The fire in Denmark is fairly close probly anywhere around 50-100ks away Fighter Jets was another thought I had we used to often get fighter jets flying over head along the coast I have seen and heard one break the sound barrier directly over my head at a very very low height when I was at the beach once Wich I'm pretty sure they aren't alowed to do I havent seen any for a few years but Could definately be a possibility
