@w!llows thank you. Yes a trade with acacias sounds good to me. I've spent many years screening for acacias locally to no avail; acuminate broad leaf, Karoo, cyanophylla, polycnantha, retinodes, longifolia, farnesiana with very limited success.

Floribunda if I remember correctly is the fastest growing acacias of them all with acuminate narrow leaf variety as the cleanest. You can pm me on the Nexus for address as my account here hasn't been upgraded yet to use private messaging.

Hey this is fantastic news Honeydew! I would love to trade you some Acacia seeds if that might be something your interested in?

What a great way to join the forum and very generous.   I would be super interested,  but atm I'm just starting to rebuild my hobbies and have mu work cut our for me for the time being.

I do hope this goes to some member who can help contribute to this project and help spread these on the near future .

I am also following you on the Nexus,  and the work you are doing is amazing..

Welcome to the forum l!

...image and video... 

Accidental discovery, algea grew and clogged up the clear hosing i was using for sprinkler system.. (so that's why they use black water-hose)
i altered a spray nozzel by removing the middle piece, so it's basically just a small jet hole in a cap, that i can easily take off if it gets clogged.
Just messing around i found that the "expanded clay balls" could levitate in the water jet stream, usually about 3 to 10 seconds before falling.
i need the water to spray around the whole growing area, not in a jet, and the ball sprays the water perfectly, SO i built a wire cage to hold it..
And.. it totally works, well for a couple of hours, before having to start it up again, but it's a prototype, and could easily be made more stable.
i'll attempt to attach photo an video clip...

Hopefully you get some interest. This forum has been quite slow recently. I've been following your posts on Nexus and is coming along great. If I had the space I would take you up on this offer but none left. Post on nexus about this giveaway maybe you'll get some more interest. Keep it going man.

TLC analysis is attached below. Tanit is the last sample on the plate. First spot is nn-dmt reference (glows blue when plate is still wet but turns black when plate dries up. 5-meo-dmt are the spots with slightly lower RF value than nn-dmt, also glows blue when wet and turns red after drying up. The spots right below nn-dmt and 5-meo-dmt is for gramine. Underneath gramine is NMT. Spots above nn-dmt and 5-meo-dmt are suspected to be  betacarbolines.

You can clearly see how much cleaner tanit alkaloid profile is compared to rest of the other accessions on the plate. This analysis result further proves the bio-assay qualities of tanit as a consistently reliable and clean source of 5-meo-dmt. No variation in profile has been noticed between the original parent clone and seedlings from the parent clone so it's safe to say this is a strain that breeds true from seeds.

We have also run some field tests to study the agronomic features of tanit and it proved to tolerate saline soil and semi arid growth conditions making this strain suitable for USA zone 9 and similar environments like NSW Australia. It exhibited strong seedlings vigour and good tolerance to severe harvesting growing back each time with strong vigour. It also tolerates very high levels of nitrogen without causing root burn.

Disadvantages include shedding seeds readily so care must be taken to harvest seeds daily so they don't fall down to the soil. Available seeds for giveaway are freshly harvested in may this year and will require a summer ripening period (at least through half of summer) before they are able to germinate readily. Its beginning of summer where am from in North Africa (end of may). If you live in a geographical area like Australia where it's the end of autumn and beginning of winter right now (beginning of the growing season) I advice that you incubate the seeds at 48° celcius for three days before you attempt to germinate to simulate summer ripening period otherwise germination rate will be very low.

If you live in the northern hemisphere you could help us understand how such different weather and environment effects this strain performance in growth and alkaloids profile wise.

Hi there fellow greenkeepers
 
Phalaris enthusiast here coming from the sister website with some good news. I'm happy to announce that we've discovered a new strain of aquatica that is confirmed to exhibits a clean 5-meo-dmt profile, yields decently well and breeds true from seeds. We call it "tanit"

There's currently a fresh seed batch available as giveaway while awaiting for membership approval. Kindly note that the available seed quantity is still rather limited so I urge that only those who are serious about working with phalaris to fill the requests. All were asking in return is that you report back your experience on the Nexus to helps us further expand our knowledge of this amazing exotic entheogen. I welcome any questions or tips on this matter.

Thanks SKUNK .. the rules are indeed quite different so I'm glad you brought that up.

Yep I'd be happy to post a grow log. I've brought my plants up in a large hoophouse - but recently moved into my own house so they're now hardening in the garden for the cold winter looming ahead. I'll get some of them in the ground very soon.

Will get working on a bit of a grow log/tutorial for Acacia if that helps? I have a similar thing on the nexus so much will be copy and pasted if thats ok.. if not let me know and I'll start anew.

Sometimes people miss the rules,  and talk about stuff not related to cultivation of plants and more or other aspects..  helps keep a low profile and focus on sharing and growing out special plants.

Site seems a little slow as of recently.  But looks like the trade area is still plugging along.   Would be nice to see STS as busy as it was back in it's heyday when I joined back in 2016

Would love to hear more about your Acacia growing,  always been fascinated with Acacia and have tried in the past to grow it and wouldn't mind having another attempt at growing it again. 

Ya definitely get a grow log going and share some of your garden and any advice of information you care to share ,  I'm sure others would be interested and Benifit from the knowledge.   

Look forward to seeing you around the forums.
