    Here are a few of mine. I was not even aware of the comp until a few weeks ago. Unsure of when I sowed these.

    ( edit ) I went out this morning to find one of my royal velvets has had a sungasm B). Fibonacci representing !

  2. Noooo. Shun the neg' button !!! . I found the neg' button to be really negative (yes, i know it was meant to be negative,lol). It caused a fair bit of disharmony i reckon.

    I like the like button. :)

    I don't like this :P

    Tripsis....you flatter me bro. I know it is safer for me to vamoosh but I don't know if I'm going to be able to :rolleyes:

    SAB has a special little place in my heart now.

  3. Don't have time to read the whole thread so Ill just chuck this in and hope that it helps.

    Back in my indoor production days ( pre bust ) I used to cover my media with lots of layers of chux superwipes. It still allows the rootzone to breathe but stops the little fuckers from laying their eggs in the hydro medium.

    Quick easy and effective prevention.


  4. Pretty sure I have the long form taken from a pup that was thrown from a straight bridge crest ( only one in oz ). Collector in WA has that crest now... wish I could get in touch to obtain a cutting back from him.

    It will take a little more growth to be definitive. It has just finished throwing 2 more pups. Happy to send one on to someone free of charge to play around with as soon as it's big enough to separate and send on.

  5. Does anyone hear have any contact with bridgesoid outside the forums ?

    I really need to get in touch with him to sort an unfinished trade. I will be leaving him contact details via PM but am worried he may never return to read it. Seems he has not logged in since 28 of November.

    Anyone ?

    Cheers - Tipz


  6. No offense taken Amz . . It is a big ask, lol. I did not think It through too well.. It was a post-vape post :wink: It might be tricky if I get ten people that all draw the exact same conclusion. Oh well, too late now, the comp still stands. Maybe include what you think was the motive ( wether it be MB or TPTB you feel executed this )

    Sorry Bullit she is not for sale man. Have a read up on It and tell me what you think.

    GOT I thought you would be onto this one. ( From memory I still owe you a trich terschekkii variegated seedling from before I vanished. I still have it here for you. )

  7. Hmmmm, good point. It is very sought after by cactus collectors but not quite so much in the ethno scene, so I am going to add a small variegated LW to the prize ;) It's about 3 cm across and grafted onto PC pach. Photo's tomorrow. That should be a little more alluring.

    Do we get to hear your take on the events Amz ?

  8. I have decided to do a fun little giveaway. It will be interesting to see how much interest this stirs.

    I am not returning to trading, this is just a giveaway before I disappear into the izness. ( just waiting on settlement over outstanding trades ) AAAnyway......

    I'm in the process of drastically downsizing my cactus collection. I have up for grabs in this little competition a very very rare and sought after plant indeed. I have a very healthy Eulychnia castanea V.spiralis. I have never seen one of these offered up for sale before. The plant initially showed discoid growth, which reverted to monstrose growth and is now pushing out some amazing spiral growth ( so showing all 3 traits of the eulychnia castanea's possible mutations as can be seen herehttp://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=7&ved=0CDgQFjAG&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cactus-art.biz%2Fschede%2FEULYCHNIA%2FEulychnia_castanea%2FEulychnia_castanea_varispiralis_mostruosa%2FEulychnia_castanea_varispiralis_mostruosa.htm&ei=Oc6RUtSsJqnZigfj1YCAAQ&usg=AFQjCNGJ-HRHSTXVElV_v8igwZ86U_yI5A&bvm=bv.56988011,d.dGI )

    The plant measures in at just under 50cm.

    I know of many collectors both here and outside of this forum who have been chasing one of these with no success for many years. Here is your chance to own one free of charge ! All you have to do is participate in a little game for my amusement.

    I have been researching a subject that a close friend brought to my attention. I'm sure that everyone here can recall the Port Arthur massacre down here in Australia. The biggest massacre from a single shooter on a civilian population on record in our Country. I had a few things brought to my attention from a close friend. He told me that he was completely certain that the events of that day were planned and executed by nefarious forces and in no way could it have even POSSIBLY been the work of Mr Martyn Bryant. Crazy right ?

    Now I have always been one to keep an open mind and have been known to entertain the possibility of seemingly outrageous claims of conspiracy and obfuscation. But when I initially heard his suspicions on the events that transpired that day I found it very hard to not instantly dismiss them before listening to his argument. I think that may be because - "if" in fact he happened to be correct the implications are quite frankly downright scary. BUT I make a conscious effort to keep an open mind that is decided on verifiable fact and try to use my rationale and intellect to draw conclusions on the event in question.

    So I found myself reading the work of a man called Joe vasilis and other concerned parties and quite frankly I was amazed at what I was reading.

    So... here is the comp guidelines :

    I'm going to provide a link to some little known info about that day and I want to start a little debate. To win this competition I want you to read the information I provided in the link below. The prize of this beautiful eulychnia will be awarded to the person who presents ( in my opinion ) the most convincing argument either "for OR against" this crazy crackpot tinfoil theory. The link that I provide is just there to get you started. By all means - research elsewhere and

    source your information as you deem fit. For the point of this competition lets say I am completely undecided. It could be ten words or it could be a thorough analysis - as long as it is convincing. Im very interested to hear peoples take on this and i am sure the prize will coax those that would normally brush over this post to perhaps have a bit of a read and a think about it.

    I will close the comp at 2200 EST 07/12/2013 - most convincing argument IN MY OPINION wins !

    OK GO .... :)

  9. I'm ok HD ( thanks for the kind words ) things have kind of settled now.

    Just really do not want any trouble with the law and getting rid of my collection will definitely give the establishment less amunition. I really have to keep my nose clean from here on in.

    I'm trying to track down B.caapi, Sabry, Echelon and Bridgesoid. If anyone is in touch with them and sees this could you please ask them to get in touch with me.

  10. Greetings

    It's been a while hey SAB !

    I come back to settle outstanding trades. I have my reasons for disappearing and I don't really wish to go into them here. It is irrelevant really. either way I am back to settle the scores.

    It has been a long time since I have logged in and will have to go and sift through my mail to work out exactly who needs to be compensated for my dud trades. You will be over compensated. I truly am sorry, I hope nobody thought that this was a calculated ripoff. Those that know me can attest to the fact that is not my style.

    If there is anyone with outstanding trades please PM me and I will settle your trade in cash pronto.

    It may take a little while to sort through old mail and the flood I am expecting after this post.

    On top of this I am going to do a big giveaway. I really need to cull my collection. I have a HEAP of cactus to giveaway. Pickup from Goolwa SA. Lots of nice plants mostly rooted. You will need a trailer or a big van. I want a one person giveaway to make it quick and easy. As long as they go to a good home I am happy. So first person to PM me that wants to come down and grab them gets them. There is around 20m of thick as peruvianus ( stored in the shed for a good year ) and heaps of hybrids, various spp of pach, scop, bridge e.t.c e.t.c (ALL CACTI HAVE BEEN CLAIMED PENDING PICKUP - CHEERS )

    You probably won't see me around after this.. just back to settle things. I hope you are all well and a big hello to all my old SAB friends.

    Cheers - Tipz

    ( edit : Myco this had nothing to do with you mate. It was an unrelated legal issue but I thank you for your support man. Your a good lad.)
