    An interesting time line of nuclear explosions.

    This does not even touch on seven mile fukishima or chernobyl ( or the many nuclear accidents that were kept quiet ! )

    With the hundreds and i believe thousands of years it takes for some of the associated radioactive materials released to break down it makes me wonder exactly how radioactive our earth is becoming and how closely related these are to surging cancer rates ? scary stuff really

    Some of these bombs tested - especially the tsar bomba are many many times the magnitude of those use at nagasaki and hiroshima ! ( it also doesnt include the devastating radiation being spread through the middle east with the rampant use of depleted uranium being used in todays current warfronts )

    I am aware of the laws regarding lophs in S.A

    Therefore any lophs purchased will be sent to (and kept at !) my brothers house in melbourne for me to admire via skype every night before bed ;)

    And yes it is a totally ridiculous law as all here will agree ! Lets just pray the prohibition does not spread.

    is it possible to move this post to the trade sub-forum ?

    Most definately spidermites, millions of the little bastards ! i have had gnats but they are not a recurring problem. If i dont stay on top of the mites, i end up with webbing all over my broccoli. Mit-rid is certified on use for organic applications so that should be ok.

    The main concern was the surface algae... so its reassuring to hear it should be fine. I suppose algae is not a fungus is it :scratchhead: so the systemic fungacide was probably unnecessary.

    Well fingers crossed ! If unsuccessfull i think i may invest in a number of pre-established specimens.

    Many thanks gogo.. i can now sleep well tonight.

    Ok, wondering if someone could reassure me with what looks like a potential problem with my seedlings ?

    I recieved a few different varieties of cacti seed from sab a few weeks ago. I obtained some coarse sharp sand, and filtered it to the desired particle size. This sand was fully pastuerised and put into a small heated propagation box brought from bunnings ( fully sterilised with boiling water also )

    The seed box was placed in a small grow tent under 18 hours of light ( hps 400 ), with the propagation box being a metre from the lamp.

    Temps during "day" are no higher than 30c and drop to 16c at night. Unfortunately i had a zero% success rate.

    Just last week some more seed i ordered arrived from a different source. As the propagation chamber still seemed to be sterile i simply sprinkled this seed onto the pre-pepared sand. It is now four days and some very healthy little seedlings are starting to emerge. My problem is that the surface of the sand mix is starting to turn green with what looks like algae ??? I grabbed some fongarid ( a systemic fungacide ) and sprayed the surface and the seedlings with this solution. Is there anything else i can do, or do i not need to even worry ?

    Also i have neverending problems with spidermite in my room, and am wondering if it is ok to spray with mite-rid when the little suckers inevitably show up ?

    Any help would be much appreciated !

    cheers guys :)

    i have often wondered whether blackmarket economics has a part in any of this ? My thoughts being that meth is highly addictive and its growing number of regular users tend to spend significantly more cash when using the product. If good pills were still around the meth usage and overall sales would (perhaps), be dramatically lower than they are now ?

    would it therefore make sense that its beneficial for large scale producers to inhibit the availability of mdma ?

    :scratchhead:

    just a thought :)

    greetings SAB :)

    just a quick introduction. I have been a long time lurker but have recently registered so as to gain access to all images and perhaps in the future, participate in trade. I am very passionate about my ethnos and have been collecting for some time now. You probably wont here much from me as there is not much more i have to add. The level of intelligence and knowledge present on this forum never ceases to humble me, and i have a lot more to learn.

    cheers guys - tipz B)
