Thanks for the good update Zelly. Loved the section on Copipoa. Cant beleive they were in San Luis Potosí and surrounding, and didn't go loph spotting!

13.8 grams of viable fresh self-harvested HBWR seeds (116 of em) here

for nom or sow? lol I got 13.8 grams (116 seeds) fresh off my vine one and half months ago and stored straight away out of light and heat. I actually need someone to bioessay them, as the vine seeded after only 2 seasons, which i thought nervosa var. nervosa only did after 5 years? It came from SAB early 2011 as a little cutting, that has well and truly(along with my caapi) taken over my garden.

PM me for free tobacum or rusticia if u couldnt aquire them with your goodies :D

oi CM where in Aus are you? For Oz members, it is a good idea to let people know at least your zone, or preferable your general geographic area (ie im SE QLD or Gold Coast. You dont need to know where i am, but it lets people in SE QLD know that if if i have something there really after, thats too big to post, they can come get it personally , and vise versa. Also i( and many others here) dont like sending postage tubes to W.A or TAS, but will post cuttings in tubes to all other states. Seeds only for TAS and W.A members really., unless i feel like playing russian roulette ;)

Pretty sure GoOnThen(GOT) has one of these? I told him i'd trade my right nut for a little head on pere!

I usually have close to 100% sucess with pere as stock, and following scions; ariocarpus,copiapoa, lophophora and turbinicarpus, but ive tried 5 Turks Cap (Melocactus peruvianus), and only had 1 sucess . When it gets too big for the pere, it will go on some tricho stock, and hopefully will re-pup on the pere......i also have 40 seedlings 3 months old, and 4 that are a year old, so like DoodAbides, is more just for teh lolz than anything. Kinda like my "Tim's Penis" i made! :S

Pics of inside the place to drool over please?

the blue pots from hamiltons, are the packaging for master hardware chain, as requested by them...bunnings have black pots i think from hamiltons. EDIT: BUnnings also order through(and at my local store prefer) Paradisia Cacti as well

lol is that what you got the fruit off that we ate Jox? lol

Posted 02 November 2012 - 09:23 PM looks pachanoi to me. Yeah Looks like 'ALF'?

yeah e.seminudus, and maybe pachanoi x scopulicola, or just T. pachanoi??? looks like pach with maybe something else in there?

Beat me to it DarkSpark ;) Bhut Jolokia seed, loph williamsii(Texana) seed VERY viable Datura stramonium and D. stramonium var. tatula When you say Naga jolokia, are you referring to the actual 'chilli' not 'capsicum' shaped version of the jolokia's (ie Naga PC1(Tezpur) )? 300k-800k scoville? These are the world's hottest actual annum species as opposed to the always ridiculously hot chinense species? If so also seed here. PM me for details on all my strains of chilli, and prob Darkspark too...hes got heaps of exotic super hots.

Hey Zelly. Sorry for not contacting you back. Ended up conversing with Jox prior to sale to him, and am going him halfs in costs/seeds. Shameless bump for Zelly. He is the man! Seeds arrived safely in recipients hands within like 5 days of posting, and that was with standard postage!. If inside Australia, and you require 'Mexicans' from outside of Aus, then look no further. CHEAP AND FRESH SEED...can't go wrong....Thanks again Zelly.

Hit em with tomatoe dust. (copper and sulpur and spinosad). The copper will destroy any bacteria or protozoa carrying around the virus. If its fungal(doubt it ), the sulphur will get it. Stops the spread of virus pretty good. Dont grow chillies, tobacco, eggplants, tomatoes or daturas or most other SOLANACEAE plants together to avoid big problems. EDIT: Mist leaves once then apply dust, then avoid misting leaves for at least 1 week, to avoid overly humid, problem-promoting conditions, and leave dust remaining on leaves. Keep and eye out for whitefly/thrips, and the ever notorious spider mite, which if not actually seen, can be noted by the early drying and yellowing of leaves before reaching maturity. Spinosad is a systemic miticide too.

A spike in heat, in such a small area, with enough moisutre to cause 100% humidty and still be wet, will cook a batch of almost any cacti seedlings in no time at all, and end up looking exactly like your ones. I suspect the coco was holding to much moisture, and should have been in the process of being vented daily, until almost dry, but still retaining 100% humidty. The only downfall of the take-away tek IMO ,is there is not enough ample air for circulation, and to draw up excess media moisture, as air-bound moisture. Only takes a very quick spike in heat to superheat even the air inside the container. Sorry to hear about your loss bro. Been there. Done that.

wheres all the damiana plants people? Is that one you've got left PH after giving incognito one or the one they're getting? Also keen to get my hands on one of these for cash/trades/sexual favors(only after damiana consumption). Even Torsten loses huge percentages of them over winter. Is it that the cold lets in the rust, or just flat out kills em? I thought the rust would be more prevalent in hot humid summer conditions? Any idea which rust it is? I Wonder if it can also get the new Myrtle rust, or puccinia psidii as well? It was only discovered in Australia(Northern NSW) April 2010, and has since been found to be jumping outside of the Myrtaceae family at an alarming rate, and has extended its range incredibly rapidly due to the spread of its spores. Full Host range is far from been identified in Australia. http://www.daff.qld.gov.au/4790_19788.htm

All good Gem... Bring him along..... Seeya in a couple of hours folks! BBQ is clean and ready....drinks are cold..... Seeds are out

Not long now people!

oi Myco.....grab yourself a can of Yates tomatoe dust next time your at bunnings. Copper oxychloride Sulpher spinosad(active constituent in Yates Success) *THIS SHIT ROCKS Organic, systemic, miticide & pesticide Sprinkle over everything! Sometimes I even leave my cacti looking green from the dust for a few days! :D I prefer to wash it off my actual little buttons though. Means the soil still cops a good drench, and seems to keep the fungas gnats at bay even in my hot house! I have been able to water much more heavy since using this product, as fungal and bacterial infections now seem a thing of the past. Except for small seedlings....they get a light neeming.

Golllum Its not the Beechmont Blues and Stomp festival is it? Because I have managed to raved many a night away at this supposed 'casual' bush fling. lol I cant do the rainbow dreads, but I got the patchouli & sandlewood covered, and jesus sandles and sarong.....that's just everyday wear ;) Darkspark the group grafting idea sounds awesome. I also feel like not trading anything now just so I have an excuse to not have pants on ;), but the plants must be spread, and so thy pants shall remain. I also volunteer to help create enough smoke signals, so etherealdreamer, may all our smoke blow south to you. Finishing off an assignment for my Diploma of Hort: Plant Health Management. Due thursday. After that I will be frantically trying to get my garden in order, so it looks half decent. .its early spring, so there is still a little unused space, where i have yet to decide what gets sowed for the season. Dam someone posted while i was typing this up!| EDIT: Yeah Gem just grab some farmers friends, or wild opium lettuce from your driveway on the way out, and we will let you keep your pants. But Andy.....that's another story.... As punishment for being an absent mod, I think he should be the delegated crazy nut to have no pants. We cant have my neighbors thinking that all entheo-heads are level headed people who like to sit around on a Sunday afternoon for a cup of tea whilst discussing Cacti and theories of Relativity ;) lol...jokes.....For some sick reason I was just reminded of the image I have stored of a pair of testicles with the word SAB on them.....now who the fuck was it again who is responsible for this messed up memory of mine? I'm thinking Incog/Pyslo/Marcel must have had some hand(nut) in this disturbing dedication to Shaman Australis Botanicals

When were they harvested? Quote from SAB 'Propagation is by seed (viability is only a couple of weeks)'

Pirate Bob where did you get these beauties from if you don't mind me asking?
