Ite as soon as i become member then!
here in puglia the best capperi are those planted by ants and they're usually found in rocks/walls
mine are all 3 foot tall about 2/3m wide pics on my garden are coming
my biggest is nearly 2m high!!

Id be totally up for some, especially since EU stuff is much easier (because we generally are doomed with officials so much liking phytosanitary certificates )

I'd love some, thanks! Happy to return the favor as well. Any idea how readily  they germinate  from seed? I've tried with dry seeds, but never had any luck.

PM incoming.

Yeah good question.
I have tried a heap of times from dried seeds with no luck too. Stratified per instructions and everything.

[23]

yeah of course im shippin' according to my grandad and a few local farmers/friends it is our mother earth gaia that germinates them best helped by the ants.
anyhow each pod contains roughly 40+ seeds so you probably should be successful

So i can't pm thanks to my arrogance writing about how to boost alks.
HAving said that @cunningplatipus I'm SO interested in both!!
I'll send you a lot of lavender i've dried out(along with the capparis pods) for my gratitude and i'll surely balance the equation with something more!
thank you!! great proposal!!

It's not a matter of arrogance, it's a matter of not favoring discussions that are not in the spirit of Share The Seeds.

I said arrogance because i had already read the rules lol

So you mean you had read the rules, but regardless you started a thread about increasing yields for a scheduled alkaloid, while you were aware it was most likely not okay to do it?

If you are arrogant enough to sidestep the community rules, then maybe STS is not for you.

no man  i knew i couldn't talk/trade illegal substances, i wasn't sure if there was any problem with increasing alkaloids in legal plants.

I don't understand. It's you who said

I was only following your statement and saying "If". I did not intend to call you "arrogant enough".

Let me be honest. I completely understand that people may read the STS Rules and have further questions, such as yours - "ok, I see I'm asked to not talk or trade illegal substances, but can I talk about increasing alkaloids in plants?"

For me the reasonable thing to do would be searching or asking to find out, but okay, let's assume you just start a thread right away to see if it's okay or not. You describe it as "increasing alkaloids in legal plants", yet you're actually talking about increasing alkaloidal yield of schedule I substances. But Ok, so a moderator removes the thread and sends a PM to notify you.

Then you explicitly ask in the forums for promotion, but you don't say a word about the issue. And another PM is sent, but we understand you cannot send back PMs yet. So when we see your next  post, we're not sure if it intends to be a response to New Wisdom's PM or not. To find out, I come here and basically say "Hey, we need to know that you know the forum rules and hear you agree with them", which is basically what we ask everyone in STS, and in your case it specially made sense to check.

Your response? "I said arrogance because i had already read the rules lol"

If you cannot understand my point, or if you are still upset about what I wrote, I insist - maybe STS is not for you.

Personally, I believe a good attitude to be not just important - but essential for this place.

If you understand and have no remaining important doubts or disagreements about how this forum works, it would be good to know. That's all.

Kind regards,

Mandrake

At this point the only thing i want to say is (and i mean it)
I fully understand the rules and the reasons for all of this misunderstanding
and i'd like to add that i thank you for the time you took off to write such a detailed explanation.
I'm certain there won't be any misunderstandings from now on.
