Diplopterys caberana getting ready for transplanting . I'll ,once this plant grows more be offering to the community. Alicia anisopetela getting transplanting as well. The black Ayahuasca. Tossed in a couple Peganum harmala pics too, Syrian rue

In anyone's opinion ,which is the better strain . Turkey Red ,Big Medicine, TR x BM, BM x TR, or Brachystachys?

My Afghans have dropped their petals and are busy growing big pods, almost all of them are golf ball size or bigger. Definitely saving the seeds from this batch.

Starting to dial in our recipes for something that works with Kanna. Happy to finally see some roots. The seeds are amazing the final picture is a seed that took 3 months to sprout.

My “landscaper” aka the teenage neighbor that mows my lawn hacked these down to the ground back in May. They really said “I’m not dead yet”!
Seeds from random Turkish pods ordered on Etsy.

So far what has bloomed are Persian whites, Danish Flags, Lauren’s Grape, some Gargantuan White’s and I’m not sure what type the lavender and magenta plants are or what else is yet to come!

But the genetics are definitely crazy to make a come back like this!

My going to sleep Mimosa hostilis babies. They look so cool folded up for bed.

Seed grown Silene undulata-capensis about 2 months old.

So I have a spider friend who has been guarding my plants... Has anyone ever seen a spider that needs to go to rehab? It's only this one plant that he loves living on... But it seems he is purposely putting holes in the pods (quite a few are leaking a lot) now I know animals do like to get fucked up... But a spider? Anyone else have this happen? I also have a mole or something digging in my plant pots now

These bad boys spent a little over two weeks in the mail, traveling all the way from Cameroon to the US. I got them prepped, dipped, and placed into some moist, airy soil. They've been kept warm under high humidity for the last week and a half.

In that short time, 3 out of the 4 cuttings have already begun pushing out new growth, at least above the soil. All three are growing from two nodes as well. Hopefully, root growth is coming along just as nicely. I also applied a fairly strong IBA rooting hormone to give them a little extra help.

Taking a closer look at the 4th cutting, I'm not even sure it has any viable growth points on it. There's also a large tear running up the side of the bark. Even so, I wouldn't have any complaints if 3 out of 4 end up making it.

Pictured in the last photo is the iboga sapling I germinated from seed, which I also obtained from Cameroon. Unfortunately, I recently overwatered it due to a broken drip irrigator that went unnoticed.

The roots are still healthy, and she'll pull through, just a bit of a setback. The soil she was in wasn't ideal anyway, so it was probably for the best. After all, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Questions and advice are welcome! Happy 4th of July yall!

Heimia salicifolia

My Kanna has been busting with flowers lately! My Delosperma cooperi, and Delosperma echinatum are flowering too!

am I making the plant work harder than it needs to by rotating them a few times a day?

and how far along would you say these babies are?

mother trees are starting to fill out nicely!!!

I was tripping on some subaeruginosa and went to head home cause the cold was hitting and I saw a dirty little cap sticking up and went to stop and call my mate to tell him that amanitas do grow in this forrest then as i lost my footing I landed on my sprained ankle and just gave into the fall, letting the pine needles and soft wood take me.

As I got my bearing back I noticed two more 🫪

Experimental Cultivation Parameters:

The cultivation system I'm building consists of a substrate composed of approximately 70% clean, washed calcium-rich white sand and 30% soil. Plants are established in perforated 5-gallon containers equipped with collection trays to facilitate bottom watering during later stages of development.

Seeds undergo a period of frozen cold stratification prior to sowing. Following planting, illumination is maintained continuously (24-hour photoperiod) during the germination phase. The seed stock includes the following cultivars: Afghan Gelania, English Pharmaceutical, Indian Shweta, and Chetak (Northern Indian).

Following germination, the lighting regime is adjusted sequentially to an initial 13-hour light/11-hour dark photoperiod, followed by a 14-hour light period for approximately two weeks, and subsequently a 16-hour light/8-hour dark photoperiod during the flowering phase.

Environmental conditions are maintained within a climate-controlled room measuring approximately 10 × 12 feet. The average ambient temperature is 62 °F (16.7 °C), with an average relative humidity of approximately 40%. Interior wall surfaces are lined with reflective Mylar film to improve light distribution.

Artificial illumination is provided by 4-foot Barrina full-spectrum LED tube fixtures with a combined actual power consumption of approximately 504 watts (manufacturer-rated equivalent output of approximately 2,800 watts) on a timer and daisy chained.

Plants receive a combination of mineral nutrients and organic fertilizers throughout vegetative development. During the transition from veg. to the hook stage and flowering the nutrient regimen is modified to strictly black tea as an organic amendment. Irrigation is discontinued upon petal formation to allow natural maturation of the reproductive structures.

The experimental layout consists of four 5-gallon cultivation containers and eight smaller containers maintained under identical environmental conditions.
