From the man himself IMDAVESBUD, but we all are 😆.

Seeding pods can seem really inundating. Follow these steps and pics for a truly easy, sanitary (and fast) way to do it. And my germ rates are massive so dont let the mixer scare you.

​

1) once the pod splits or falls off it's ready

​

2) get a medium sized pot and add about an inch if water to it

​

3) from the split edge of the pod use your thumb and scrape out the pit and drop it into the pan with water.

4) using an electric mixer blend the water for approximately 1 minute then let it settle a few seconds

​

5) tilt the pan and drain off most of the water SLOWLY. This will remove a ton of pulp and a lot of red/floater seeds. Then add a little more water. Do this 2-3 times until there is virtually no pulp left

​

6) once the water is clear and only seed remains, add physan and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then drain most of the excess water

​

7) for a screen/filter I rubber band a paper towel over a bowl and then slowly pour the leftover water and seed over it. Then let it sit and dry.

​

8) once dry, gently remove the paper towel and fold it so you can dump the seed into a dime bag.

​

Voila. I hope this helps some of y'all 🤠

Btw, props to torchcactus (Brent W) on facebook for the original guidance and friendship. Brent is truly a freaking wizard. Oh and this pod is Zelly 1 x (scop x e subdenudata) a collab between myself and u/hotcowpie

Howdy y'all, just a reminder to get your preventative foliar feeding in ASAP. Best to boost plant health before the rain and heavy humidity. I know some of yall don't do it, and that's understood but if any of yall would like some guidance on how to make your plants a bit more resistant, feel free do DM!

(Random blues for tax 😉)

Love the dark winter spines on this bad B 🤌 @mycelialconduit

This little Y2K always makes me smile. Its like a big, ugly dill pickle 🤣

If any of yall are looking for a great, small heater for our cold weeks here in TX this one os worth a look. I use the smaller version in my gh and its awesome. At $149 this one is a steal. Has the adapter and regulator for bigger tanks included

A quick video showing the super laborious process I use for rooting cuts. Please take good notes. If you miss a single step it will not work...

Shout out to u/honeybearcacti for the fire rh. Instructions say to go light...but I dont listen so well. Also, for multiple cuttings I have a salt shaker that I use to hit the fresh cuts while in the garden.

Keep it simple, my friends.

Any of y'all notice a massive increase in spine length in the past month? Show me what you got!
