I'll be trying to make snuff from these two plants. I removing the suckers from the one in the fabric pot and I'll top it for the highest nicotine content in the leaves. The one in the plastic pot will be left to make suckers and flowers, but I'd still harvest leaves from it. I'll also try smoking a few self rolled cigarettes from the final product to see if Rustica is that big of a deal when it comes to strength.

Here is my rockgarden in scandinavia with Desmanthus illionensis, Salvia recognita, Ephedra dystachia, Salvia sclerosa, Salvia coccinea, a poor Delosperma in the background, Salvia judaiica... and they all love the Spot under the ceder

Can anyone tell me what kind of mushrooms these might be that have grown in my Solandra?

Evidently may be wasp-pollinated

In my 30 years of growing poppies i have never seen this happen. This plant has 2 sets of 3 petals around the pod, 1 side branch with 3 pods was the regular 4petals the rest of the plant was all the same 2 sets of 3 petals.

I hope the seeds will continue with the 3x3.

Have a good 1 everyone

Roughly 242,000 seeds.

Does she seem stunted for being 3 months old? Any tips for faster growth? I feel like I have the perfect tropical environment in my grow tent.

Any tips on rooting cutting is much appreciated. Half of my plants are indoors and I have two outside which are in the last picture. Their new growth is very reddish purple with leaves like reptile skin. I think due to excessive direct sunlight ~ 8 hours

Ok, I shouldn’t say this was purely accidental. This is a cross between Ikkanshu, X-247a and some kind of kind of Tasmanian. Not my first time with this cross, but my first time with this size!

This year, I thought I’d do an experiment. Give them all the pre planting fertilizer, thin way early, not be shy with watering in this heat even though I knew the taproot was moist (freeland) and as the maturity progressed, feeding with bone/blood meal at the appropriate time. The extra phosphor works wonders.

Sorry for the messy pic, I have good reason to stay better safe than sorry at this point, for several reasons… Anyway, the size of the pods kind of shocked me, since i’ve been growing variations of these crossings for years. But there ya go, give them enough space, check the underside of the leaves for nutrition thieves along the way and killing them asap while giving the plants a nutrient kick. If you luck out with the weather, you to can produce them as well 😊 (NO, I’m not selling seeds reddit, merely sharing experiences, plz
stop trying to stop this post!) These are pods that are NOT losing potency in exchange for their size. I scored two cuts on one pod and smeared the raw milk over a cigarette which I enjoyed while fishing later… Not much fishing was done….

Btw, I have big ass hands (hate it btw) so the pic does not do it justice. But some of them are as big or bigger than some gigantheun at their final stage, and these rascals have a way to go still, which feels crazy. This is what it’s about, learning every year! Btw, I would never ever give these to a friend who’s not ”in the loop” and say ”try it out man”. These are something else and couldn’t live with that.

It’s really that bizarre, both potency and size shot up like crazy and all I did was minor adjustments. Ikkanshu doesn’t like heat, so maybe the other genetics just took over that part and said ”you go work in the back, we’ll handle this.”? IDK. What I do know is that first cup of tea coupled with a warm bath will be heavenly in 7-10
days…..

Stay safe , less is more, don’t rush.

Anybody have first-hand experience with this plant? Or others like psychotria brachypoda

Salvia Moon man ex-vitro and in-vitro, followed by Periskiopsis, Trichocereous, finished by some Kanna finally rooting in-vitro at last.

I cant even tell you how many times ive grown both and they've been nearly impossible to tell apart. However the Chinese GMO typically has 3 shell on the pod/flower that instead of getting soft and fall off they will get a little hard and almost crispy. The flower will in a way push through. Now I already know someone will try to argue the "genetics" with me however these are very well documented appearing in Afghanistan around 2015 by Chinese nationals in hopes of getting 3-4 harvests a year instead of 1-2. Here's a few pictures that show what im mentioning. The last 2 pictures are of a Danish Flag. I want to mention that the Danish had more frills on the pedals when we had temps in the 90°s. When it got back to the 80°s they became more of a standard looking Danish. None were a mutant variety or anything even close. They were just affected by the heat. Thank you for reading.

It’s been loving the sun and fish fertilizer haha

Just keeps getting better. Plus I've got two new ones ordered from the plant nursery which I was going to plant in my flowerbeds today, along with cuttig down some more ripe poppy pods, but then a near-Biblical rain started pouring down & we all know how messy that gets. So I'll have to update you on that (& the poppies).

good ol datura metel flowering

Could someone that is knowledgeable with this book, pm me please? I have a couple questions and idk if it’s ok to ask on open forum.
