    Seeds Australia WAS closing down

    This makes me so angry. I need to expand my ethno garden whilst I still can.

    my first loph seedling!

    So, how many days exactly did it take? I had two lophs germinate in three days and I was so impressed but then the wind blew my greenhouse over and I lost everything although I managed to rescue my two babies. I planted some khat, san pedro and bridgesii seeds under a week ago and I have still not seen any growth yet and like you I worry and hope that all will be well. I hope at least some germinate. I'm trying to get my hands on some cheap loph v caespitosa seeds.
  5. Hey guys, I have a cutting that I am letting form a callous at the moment. However, I am unsure how long I should wait until I can plant it. How long does this normally take to form a good callous and can anyone show me a picture of what it should look like?
  6. Hey guys, I am looking for plain old lophophora williamsii as well as the caespitosa variety and some others. I have ordered from Earth Alchemy, which has a good selection, however, the prices seem a bit high compared to others. Has anyone ordered from these overseas sites before? http://www.koehres-kaktus.de/ http://www.cactusplaza.com/ http://www.kadasgarden.com/ If so then what are your experiences?

    Anyone Ordered Seeds from These Links?

    Well, that sucks Is there anything I'm allowed to order from those sites? What are the cheapest plain loph seeds you know of in Aus? I like caespitosa too but I'm up for trying some other cool varieties if you can recommend some.

    Meth Epidemic

    In regards to those amphetamine comments and students, there's a mass market for that at universities. Even people who are anti drug would take it because they thought it was all good because it was made by a pharmaceutical company in a clean lab. I pumped out many assignments at the last minute with the help of dex but felt fucking terrible afterwards and got horrid headaches/migraines. Even militaries around the world still use it. If I remember correctly then American pilots are given the option of using it for missions longer than 10 hours and the Brits use it too. I ripped this from Wikipedia: "The U.S. Air Force uses dextroamphetamine as one of its "go pills", given to pilots on long missions to help them remain focused and alert.[38][39][40][41] The Tarnak Farm incident was linked by media reports to the use of this drug on long term fatigued pilots. A military tribunal did not accept this explanation, citing the lack of similar incidents. Newer stimulant medications or awakeness promoting agents with fewer side effects, such as modafinil are being investigated and sometimes issued for this reason.[38] During the Vietnam War, Special Units of the US Military, such as MACV-SOG, were issued dextroamphetamine tablets. Due to the threat of misuse, these tablets were given to the Commanding Officer of the unit, and given out when needed.[42]"

    Tinnitus

    Get yourself a pair of these. I have had a pair for years and I bought my friends some as gifts as hearing damage is permanent. http://www.hearos.com/products/high-fidelity They are re-useable noise attenuating earplugs. You still hear the same quality of music when you go to gigs, however, it will just not be as loud. Normal earplugs will just muffle the sound so don't use them. If you live in Perth then you can get them at Kosmic Sound in Osborne Park plus it seems that you can get them from Kosmic Sound online so they should ship interstate. http://www.kosmic.com.au/Guitars/HEAROS/1889?Hearos+High+Fidelity+Ear+Plugs+ $30 and they'll totally last you for years. Alternatively, you can go to http://www.westernhearing.com.au/ and get yourself a custom pair made but the'll set you back at least $300 so it might only be worth it if you are constantly at gigs or if you're a sound engineer or something.

    Meth Epidemic

    If you can't watch it then just download it. Go use isohunt or The Pirate Bay. If you type in 'National Geographic' then you'll find HEAPS of results for documentaries. If you are paranoid about being caught downloading stuff then use Peer Guardian and don't download the latest release movies unless you are using a private torrent. http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/ If it's on SBS or ABC then you will be able to watch it online.

    Online agar sales

    If you want ready made good quality agar then go to http://www.mycosupply.com and buy yourself some potato dextrose agar or malt extract agar. It's good quality and it saves you the hassle of boiling potatoes and making your own mix etc. They also have some other cool stuff for your agar work like metal inoculation loops and a mushroom cloning kit.

    Pressure Cooker - necessary?

    The all American aluminum ones are great man. It will out live you and the metal to metal seal means no rubber gaskets to replace etc. You would not regret your purchase.

    Pressure Cooker - necessary?

    Dude, I just looked at the prices for All American Sterilisers and they're expensive! Amazon won't ship them outside the USA either. Don't waste your money on one of those unless you're a surgeon or something.

    Pressure Cooker - necessary?

    www.amazon.com has the best price for All American products, however, the company will only ship up to a certain weight/dimension to Australia. I think the biggest pressure cooker you can buy and have sent here is an All American 921. However, you could get it delivered to a freight forwarder for free in the USA and then have it sent to AUS from there. I am not sure how much the freight forwarder will cost but there is a number of them that will do it for you. You don't really need a steriliser, man. An All American 921 holds a decent amount and does the job fine. I have had no contamination with jars yet. You can fit 19 pint jars and 7 quart jars in it according to Amazon, however, you can fit in two more quart jars at the top if you lay them down on their sides. http://www.amazon.com/All-American-921-All-American-Pressure/dp/B00004S88Z/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1296480060&sr=8-1

    Pressure Cooker - necessary?

    I have not used the water bath method but you can get a Presto pressure cooker from Amazon.com delivered to your door cheaply. As of late last year you could get a 23 quart Presto delivered to your door for just under $110 AUS. If you get a 21 quart All American from Amazon.com then it will last you a life time. A pressure cooker will make life a lot easier. You can also use it for making liquid cultures, sterilising your utensils, sterilising soil and making your own pasta sauces or canning your own fish.

    Recovering from FACEBOOK

    I understand what you are saying, however, it is a useful tool for communication. I can still maintain my privacy though. I use a made up name but my friends know it's me, I have no qualms about not adding people I don't like, nobody but me sees my photos, my display picture is of an animal, nobody can post on my wall, my DOB is incorrect and the email address I use for business purposes is different to the one I use for Facebook so workplaces etc can not try to find me. It is a handy tool if you want to keep up to date with certain events, artists, invitations etc but some people are too reckless with their information. A friend of mine uses it to track down people for debt collection and it's a good way to get yourself fired.

    trades in free print thread

    That's a good point. However, if you are not breaking the law then there should not be a problem. The sucky thing about being a new member is that you want to get involved in the scene but it's hard starting off if you have no contacts or plants or prints to trade = /

    Looking for B Caapi

    Anyone else got any cuttings or plants to trade?

    Looking for B Caapi

    Does anyone have any B Caapi cuttings to trade at the moment? If any Perth users have any cuttings it would be great because plants can have a rough time in the post when being sent from over east.

    Perth Meet (January) 2011

    Hey guys, This was brought up in another thread but I thought it would be a good idea for it to have its own. There was talk of having a meet on Sunday January the 9th on the South Perth foreshore. Are there any Perth users who will be attending? If this date does not suit too many people then we could always try to schedule it for the following Sunday which is the 16th. Let's see what we can get together.
