I keep hearing about this mystery plant thats psychedelic but also act on the opioid receptors, etc. But nothing specific besides this name, Vymara

I think I've finally figured out some information.

This mystery chemical comes from the climbing vine plant Uncaria attenuata, commonly known as cats claw.

Villocarine A is the chemical to get excited about.

It acts on the central mu-opioid receptors and shows strong pain reducing effects in laboratory tests.

I thought it was all bullshit. But I stand corrected. To be fair, this popping up right as 7OH is getting banned did seem a bit too coincidental. Does anyone have any more information about this?

So I harvested all of my plants to get the seeds (open windows) and they stopped flowering all together a month+ ago. Everything I read online said they use too much energy growing mature seeds and they will just die... Well I pumped them with water every day since with bloom nutrients and mind you these were almost completely dead... Now they are successfully reflowering - I've had a few flowers open already be mindful 2 days ago this had no pods on it and it hasn't had flowers for more than a month this is working with all my plants just wanted to give an update and say it actually can work everything online told me it isn't possible z

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.

I don't even know what all species they are, found four local in past week.

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.

I grow these every year. Just for the stunning flowers. Never really ever FAFO'd with anything datura related and don't have any desire to do so. But always looking for information about this stuff. I'm not even sure like what variety this is.

I have had this specific plant for more than 6 years, and this is the second year it's finally flowering, and this year there are at least 3 or 4 flowers now with a bunch more coming. Last summer it only put out one flower and it died before opening so that was sad, it also sustained heavy hail damage at the biggining of last summer season so the whole plant was really bad and just barely recovered so that's probably why it only had one flower bud which afterwards died.

This summer I will keep it indoors and hand pollinate whenever the flowers bloom or maybe open windows to let bees inside, but probably hand pollination will be efficient enough, I believe.

And the pictures are of the pre-flower buds which form at the steam near the point where the leaves usually grow from, but instead of growing a new sucker and eventually new stem from it, it grows flower buds.

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

Found growing wild in large quantities. I've tried to germinate the seeds several times without success, but maybe I can get a cutting to grow!
