Alternatively, I get the mrs to stay home with the kid friday if she's not well and go do some work. That will free me up this weekend. I was going to pick up Jono on the way and could make a wee side trip to grab Amulte, but if its friday night it will be late (like 10ish)

Hmm Next weekend is no good for me, But this weekend is looking dubious as well. The kids been sick all week as well and I haven't done any work. My work is pretty flexible and I can really come and go as I please, but I'm getting behind and may well need to go this weekend to catch up Maybe a two or three week postponement would be more suitable? If not then I'll just have to give it a miss...... again

LOL and peter garret for that matter Maybe they were getting dancing lessons from PG

I think the dissociatives ruined Johns, He went real wierd after hooking up with Paul Mac and it is reflected in every aspect of his music, it has turned to shite. Silver chair is a joke now, Johns doesn't fit the band at all and I can only see failure for them in the future I think he was telling the truth about smoking weed with bono and garret, no one can speak so frankly and expect it to be taken as a joke, he obviously did not think before he spoke (probably stoned)

Yeah that is not doable, that 1 lb per 400w is a maximum figure based on someone with unlimited resources who treats growing as a full time job and not a hobby, i.e. a professional dealer. They would be using CO2, air con temperature control, flushing every day, running to waste, strong air movement and top shelf nutrients and additives etc I dare say most people wouldn't have seen let alone invested in such set ups, but they are out there and that is why the legislation was changed and why wattage can't be used as a guide Go down to a good hydro store and they will be able to tell you exactly what you need to obtain those figures but be prepared to spend thousands. Many seeds from well bred genetics are sold as being able to obtain over 500gms per square metre in Holland. You didn't actually mention any plant numbers in relation to your 800-1200 watt figures, which is is why I assumed that one could grow any number under your idea. I spent 9 years in SA a while back when there was a 10 plant limit indoors and have seen such yields. I have also had friends robbed at gun point and even involved in murder as a result of growing pot I can see where you are coming from and I think a 1 plant limit with a 400watt limit is not a bad idea with limitations on CO2 use. I don't think anyone will be spending thousands on a set up to grow one plant. I also suppose there may be a safety issue with indoor growing that has prompted the move to outdoor. Anyone in Adelaide will remember the odd house fire due to poorly set up grow rooms But fact is anyone who is growing for profit will continue to do so regardless of the law, The new legislation will just stop them falling through the cracks in the legal system that previously allowed professional dealers to do so

Yeah, if you don't know what you are doing A learned grower could get close to 3 pound off 1200 watts every 12 weeks which WILL net them 30,000 a year It is accepted that 400watts is capable of producing 1 pound and reports of double that when using the sea of green method That is why there is a limit on number of plants and that is why it is also illegal to grow hydro because a grower with unlimited resources and skill could easily outstrip your estimates Wattage is only one of many factors affecting yield and by no means the ultimate. Other factors which can greatly affect yield are genetics, medium, nutrients/aditives, set up, habit, number of stems/ light, pot size, water quality, aeration, flushing, experience, temperature plus I'm sure many others. Frankly I don't see why anyone would need more than a 1/4 oz a week for personal medicinal use. 1 well grown outdoor would produce that. Kudos to the SA govt for still allowing that.

Yeah I certainly think it helps, lots of people do use lights during germination, it provides top heat to complement the bottom heat and may well provide a que for germination. Lights used are fluorescents. You can use tubes, but I just use a couple of 20 watt "warm" (reder light rather than the bluer cooler looking) compact fluoros mounted on a Styrofoam cooler with the bottom cut out sitting on the heat mat. Lights are on 14-16 hrs/day It makes for a very pleasant and even climate Windows can lead to large changes in temperature with the diurnal phase shift. I know I can feel significant temperature drops within a meter of my windows at the moment. I don't germinate any seeds near a window due to this I measure the temperatures with all my indoor plants using an electronic thermometer which keeps max and mins so I can ensure a good climate. If seedlings are in an enclosed space this means drilling a hole for the probe to go into the air space for measuring ambient temperature in the container some change is ok or even good to mimic normal climate, but during winter these changes are more severe than in the natural period when germination would occur. Each to their own, I know a lot of people don't worry about this, but where I am it gets pretty damn cold in winter and it is a requirement for me

thats the whole idea of the broken window approach, to fix one thing they have to control every aspect that may be a cause of what they want to fix by harsh policing ie if there is one broken window in a building it gives the impression that the building is uncared for, so to give the impression of care in one area (cosmetically), every broken window must be fixed

Yeah That really shits me I've had that happen a couple of times, one person was later banned and the other still lurks but doesn't post much anymore If they aren't obliging give me a PM and I'll see what I can do to help fill your lost goods

Yeah I don't even do that, just leave em on the surface and mist every day. Leave them a bit longer, can take up to a month. Both environments can be quite humid till soon after germination. I put glass coasters on top of my pots which are small (75mm with about 10-20 seeds per pot). I would then harden both off asap probably within a couple of weeks to a month when quite green. essential for the lophs and better in the long run for the echinopsis Oh and what sort of light are you using? EDIT: I have had good success germinating in coarse sand alone, then after hardening off I put in a mix of 1/3 coco coir and 2/3 coarse sand and start feeding with 1/4 strength seasol

Na, some of those fruits are 10% sugar or more and the rest basically water ie in 1KG of pineapple there is about 100gms of sugar and about 500 calories worth of energy To burn 500 calories it will take about an hour of intense cardio, you'd think you would notice if your body was expending that sort of energy to digest a meal. After eating three meals you'd be nackered!

Found them in the New England National park very early in the season. I can only think that Dorrigo would be more suited being 300mm higher in rainfall and also slightly less severe temperature wise, hopefully extending the season somewhat. There is plenty of fungal activity around here at the mo, heaps of wood and dung lovers but no actives, I think the temps have dropped too low.

captain amazing was going to do one (he did the lsd & mdma ones I think. Might be worth asking how that is going?

It sounds like most of you are forgetting that NNSW includes the table lands Go 50-100km inland and you will find yourself close to or above 1000m above sea level Take a trip up to dorrigo and have a look around, but it may be too cold up there now as the Myc stops growing when it regularly gets under 10 during the day and stops fruiting when the nights are consistently under zero, which it has been for some time now.

Oh Yeah! I'm creaming my pants man! Thats a great piece, great for the lounge or studio Reminiscent of that 60's/70's psychedelia with those background colours! Love it

Yeah I would describe it as more of a mood enhancer than anything else, its a soft ride up which then fades away almost unnoticed. I find I can easily eat full and hearty meals after chewing and sleep comes easily Don't expect a rush or any euphoria or even a rise in heartbeat, just a pleasant lift in spirits.

Quercus suber? Doesn't really work with you clues though. Old man botanist..... Rechinger

Nah go ahead and do it!! Just do it where legal and be careful Honestly I don't think it would work MAO A which works upon the tryptamines, seratonin, norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine is found throughout the body. It is found in most cells in neurons and astroglia. as well as out side the central nervous system and in the liver, gastrointestinal tract and placenta. The fact that she had such a long experience leads me to think there may have been some degredation of the material used maybe producing 5-HO or that there was some other tryptamines present from the plant material used? 5-HO is orally active and if there was only 5% degradation of the material/byproducts this would still be plenty for a ethneogenic dose given the large amount she had. 600mg's is just stupid (meaning that there could be significant amounts of byproducts plant derived or degradation derived) Let us know either way

No yeast can use fructose completely. For example, sucrose is a combinatioon of glucose and fructose and is broken down to the seperate isomers before being used by the yeast by the enzyme invertase which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the disaccharide sucrose. All these sugars are commonly found in brewing yeasts and used to from different mouth feels. I studied the actions of yeasts quite thoroughly back in my uni days

Nah Fungi uses fructose. It is a reducible sugar and I think everything in that family (yeasts and molds) can use fructose. Some fungi even isomerise glucose to fructose before use. Fructose is thought to build the greatest tissue growth out of all sugars with other reducable sugars being zylose, galactose, glucose, arabinose and mannose with tissue building capacity in that order greatest to least I believe that fructose metabolism is the first to be restricted by a lack of nutrients. The cells become stressed, restricting certain pathways. Could be due to the production of ammonia due to protein breakdown. Edit: Message is ; use nutrients

Yeah, bad form There are usually as many or more guests as members logged on. Why are the guests not members?, its likely at least some don't care for this community, yet want to find the means to find said goodies and GD has handed it on a platter Title says it all, Maiden's for the Masses being able to ID acacia's is easy if one takes the time to buy/loan a book with ID keys or discriptions and gets a field magnifying glass for flower ID (which you won't need for telling melanoxylon and maidenii apart as they really are very different) and one will learn much more having truly earned a reward after making a find And sticking a disclaimer on the end will be as about as effective as trying to break down a brick wall with your nose Edit: Maybe it would be better to give out details by PM only to interested and ethical parties, or take a group walk up there. It may not be full proof, but maybe people will be more ethical. You must also remember a lot of disease is spread by people and the gear they bring with.

yeah I have been getting that problem for the last month or two Seems if I empty out my mail box, and there are some unopened messages deleted, it will send it in to the negative, and if it is in negetive, that message that you outlined appears, but there is an actual message in the inbox Usually once it gets back to zero it seems to come right as opening new messages doesn't drop the count back down If anyone has been sending messages and you don't think they are getting through, let us now!!

LOL Your on LongDong

Ha! I have made one of those shonky soldering iron ones, yet I found it 100% effective They just have to be made right, so that the herb is in contact with the solder tip and the soldering iron is adjustable in temperature. It will last forever and will be pretty travel hardy Heres my directions from a while back Get one of these soldering irons of ebay Adjustable Soldering Iron It tells you the temp at the tip and you can set it to the exact temp you want between 160 and 400 depending what you have in your vaporizer (could be anything?) Here's some interesting temperature points for Mary Effect of temp on marys volatiles

Print appears to me as black, but its hard to tell One would also expect to see more bruising on the cap, especially on the gills seeing that they appear to have a bit of damage? But that is pretty sketchy at best
