My scatterbrain paying off...

For you, not me. I did a bunch of closed pollination crosses this year with some crazy cool results, but...cant find the tagging info for this one.

"Mom" is First Light. Nice sized flowers, big flushes and very tall/columnar for a hybrid. Dad....went out for milk and cigarettes.... but is either beautiful flowered lobivia or beautiful flowered grandi hybrid.

If you'd like a pack of over 100 seeds shoot me a DM. Asking $3 shipped US/US via usps "non-machinable" which really just covers postage and supply 🤠

All majors taken excepting Zelle

Ok, so the torch works but sometimes they just and you have to flame them a cpl times. Took a homies advice on this...and it worked. Cheap, powerful hand vacuum from Sam's Club. #fuckthembugs

👀 Mixes (rockeater) and amendments 👀

Howdy! I am a small, Texas based cactus nursery and amendment company. Should you need any materials to make a better mix (or want a customized one) please shoot me a DM.

I make a pretty unbeatable rockeater mix, but also have amendments like pumice (2 different sizes), Zeolite, Azomite, calcined clay (turface as example).

Best part...i ship fast, and over-communicate.

If I can be of assistance, please don't be shy about sliding into those dms 😉

Howdy!

Up for sale today are some fat and happy, rooted Althea x Ferah yearlings. Seed grown by me from u/tjandangel seed. All are right about 12" or taller and come with the metal tag you see. These are all full TX sun grown so some small blemishes are to be expected. That said, all of these are in great shape.

Take your pic by number, but 6 and/or 7 will only be a part of a box of 3 or more 🤠

Asking $20 each plus pirateship OR 2 for $35 plus pirateship. (The $2.50 off per plant will apply if you buy more than 2). These will need 1 full day to dry as they were pulled just a bit ago.

All majors accepted, except Zelle

Custom rockeater mixes

Howdy!

​

So I am back at it with a new and improved rock eater mix. The biggest change is I am now using a blend of both smaller (1/8" to fines) along with the 1/4". It has really improved the texture while still offering excellent drainage.

​

My base mix includes cleaned and baked pumice, calcined clay, decomp granite, zeolite, azomite and some baked and crushed egg shell for added calcium.

​

I hand make each batch starting with that base with is 3.5% organic (due solely to the egg shell), and also offer higher organic blends up to 20%.

​

Pic 1 is of the 3.5% base mix and pic 2 is a custom 20% mix.

​

Mix is sold in 4qt/1 gallon portions and cost is $20/gallon plus calculated shipping via Pirateship. US/US only please.

​

Most digital payments and crypto accepted for payment, just sadly no Zelle.

🏜 EZ Seed 🏜

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

​

  1. get a medium sized pot and add about an inch if water to it

​

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

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

​

  1. 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

​

  1. 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

​

  1. 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.

​

  1. 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
