Growing Other Stuff 2021

@HorseloverFat
E. peruvianus only has minor amounts of mescaline, it will often have larger amount of hordenine, anhaline, and other alkaloids, the psychedelic effects of these other mixed alkaloids are not as pleasant as mescaline. Though some of the "numbered hybrids" and named clones do have significant mescaline content.

"I read on the internet" proper dose is a segment of stem as long as your fore arm. That is a lot more than a "little tea".
Echinopsis ( Trichocerus) pachanoi is still the "better" source, second only to Lophophora williamsii
How the cactus is grown makes a difference. Grown "soft" in low, indoors light, frequent water, and generally pampered, results in low alkaloid content. Grown hard, full sun and heat, fairly dry, results in higher alkaloid content. In other words, cacti grown indoors "can't get a fly high".

See, I actually read that the Peruvianus have at least 2x the “mescalito” than the Pachanoi. Mushroom John Allen (you probably know who this is) said that normal single dosage for the Pachanoi (San Pedro) is 12” x 3”.. whereas the Peruvianus Single “dose” starts around 6”.. but Echinopsis tends to grow a tad thicker.

There was a rumor bouncing around message boards like 15 years ago that “Peruvian Torch” was 100 times as potent as “San Pedro”... Erowid has since released this.. clearing this up.
Interesting stuff!
PERSONALLY, back when I COULD partake in THAT church’s practices.. I would dose 18-20” of Pachanoi... while 8-12“ Peruvianus yielded similar effects.

Obviously NEITHER compare to the “Laps” 🤣🤣🤣

Also... Using another john allen method of extraction/preparation.. I was always able to get it to 8-12oz.. finished “tea/sludge”... it’s doable if you take the time... it DEFINITELY isn’t the GREATEST tasting. 🤣
 
And the ones I used to grow lived outside MOST of the year.. then neglected the other half. 🤣

This guy is already growing his “big boy” FIRE RED spines.. which I was NOT expecting until after the move outside.. this hybrid is unlike any i’ve witnessed. Weird!!
 
Gawd, been years since I have seen Erowid. That site and my stupidity is responsible for me ingesting two tablespoons of nutmeg in warm water. You know, coz Ghandi.
Pro tip, don´t.
Try it with a whole nut.
;)
 
It was a whole nut freshly ground, threw up almost immediately and washed it down with home made ouzo. Whatever the outcome was I can´t remember but I know I was sick for the next two days.
 
I’m sorry, friend.

My experiences as a young’n with nutmeg where ALSO less than desirable. 🤣
 
Pepper transplanting... “stock” peppers were separated (pictures not provided :) ), bon-chi specimens also separated and LOOSELY wired into place. (The HorseadmirerSkinnies chose their bonchis and LOOSELY wired them as well)8D51C5D1-6909-4650-8510-C68F8D9B0BB0.jpeg4844327C-57CD-44AA-9764-B1AE7B5A1F60.jpeg369FB7E8-7B56-4F1D-85D4-331B328D16B2.jpeg3EA276B0-A0BE-44D2-840D-5A6753A07D46.jpeg116D5DE7-60FC-47CB-BB6F-68A357014A15.jpeg9D0A4D63-B4F0-4500-936E-2D659BEC7B1F.jpeg0937A53F-D1D7-473E-AD59-5057D1C33CE1.jpeg792988C4-14B6-4E52-9323-F68827A87E91.jpegCF176FFC-AC59-46A0-9865-1A62693A0BA4.jpeg1F1E59D3-414A-4E48-83ED-04F65D95EB9B.jpeg
When all was said and done... There was about 10 assorted seedlings that I could not accommodate. So I sent them @liquid_back_draft ’s direction... they garden in a BIG way.

other growing you say.. I'll play...

I cannot fill my greenhouse with trees in winter as Garlic raising is going on.
soon they will competer with the Jalapenos overwintering in the house, and the new crop of jalapenos growing in the living room. Those are next to 4 types of tomatoes and Aubergines..

In the garden are broadbeans showing the first green above the ground. Sugar snaps waiting for the end of the cold snaps. Coriander grows wild by now in our garden, just need to find them where the pop up. I am a lazy harvester so no need to plant potatoes eiter.. Leeck has been put in the ground, as 3 types of onions. Companian planting with carrots. Spinach in the two-leaf stage now. And radishes are promising for spring.

And that is just the late-winter plantings!
 
Our new wildebeest stampede-proof garden fence should be in this Saturday. It was supposed to be done last week during spring break, but we ran into Murphy's Law about a dozen times.

But look! Ginger finally grew!
