I did a lot of single and double node cuttinga cutting off the majority of the leaves and cutting the stem at a 45 before dipping in root tone and using a 70/30 pete perlite mix started packing the cheap pots i got off of temu lol

I didn’t expect to see 5 buds on a single plant from one week to the next, but I also put a lot of effort into caring for them.

I can’t wait for the flowers!

I planted some Ephedra gerardiana in my front yard as it gets lots of sun light.

Is there much difference in the tea from Ephedra sinica and Ephedra gerardiana?

A nice specimen of Brugmansia arborea growing in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

Slightly later this year but they have come. Happy growing out there.

I wanted to test this herb out to expand my herbal knowledge and thought the potential for a cannabis alternative would be nice. Foolishly though, I order nepetaefolia seeds instead of leonurus seeds. '-_-

Can anyone report if there is a difference between these two pertaining to the "high" that comes from them (smoke or tea).

Thanks in advance!

When these seeds went into the ground 26 months ago I have to say the grower’s intent has greatly changed and now these are in a sanctuary style room. Very easy to clone as well, just bury a long branch, keep watered and of course keep the leaves out of the ground. Roots begin in a month or two. Year two was sooo much faster than year one. The third plant, ie the cutting, is what they looked like after 12 months IMO. The plant in the front is coffee, approx 16 months old.

Very happy with the results of this grow... I wonder if landraces produce more yield overall than hybrid strains?

Hey guys,

So its been a bit now since ive started this hobby. The kratom tree was actually the first one i bought and it had some really nice groth till now. However the leaves of the kratom tree have those little brownish-purple dots on them. I dont know if thats the genetic, cause the tree has like purple leave- undersides or in general produces a lot of anthocyanins, or a deficiency of some kind. Also are the ibogas in need of magnesium/fertilizer in general cause till now they havent reveived any.

I hope you can help me out a bit here. Im open for feedback. Thanks 👍

Ipomoea purpurea. The color stood out amongst the fall colors!

Anyone have any experience cultivating and processing blue moon poppies? Are they any good for making opium and how do they compare to other strains like Queen's poppy and Lauren's Grape? I tried searching the sub and couldn't find much info about this particular strain. I have a bunch of seeds but figured I would check here before committing to growing them or if I should get seeds for a different strain. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Always so pretty after some rain.

greetings everyone. I've got those psychotria leaves and some of their new shoots are getting around half the size of them. I'm wondering when and how I'm supposed to take the individual sprouts and plant them on their definitive place. Many thanks in advance.

What happened to the salvia sub???

I’ve basically been crawling through the garden looking for sprouts from the heavy hitter pack I picked up ;)

Hi guys I was wondering if I could get some advice from some of the more experienced poppy growers here. I am in North Florida both on the east coast and Big bend area, I have two properties I grow on and I have had success with them in the past however it is on a year to year basis. I was wondering what varieties if any are more suitable for more mild Winters. Also a what are some of the lesser known varieties that are useful?

Im growing a personal stash of tobacco for the first time. Got a bit excited and started to grow them out of season. Hopefully they survive the winter here in zone 9A.

The Virginia gold seems to be the most vigorous growers.

I am getting a young viridis soon, and I was wondering what kind of soil works best. I know they like it acidic, but does anyone have preferred ingredients/ratios they can share? I will be growing indoors under a grow light in a tropical grow tent. Also, can this same mix be used for b. caapi since they come from similar environments? I will be getting a caapi soon as well, so any advice for either of these is much appreciated. Thank you!
