[Datura] Germination & Grow Log

Migrated topic.
Mindlusion, Jees, your plants look amazing. :)

Hardy plants for sure. And yeah they can be overwintered/kept at a reasonable size each year, so it pretty much stays similar to the size of a bush, unless you have the year around climate to grow them outdoors [which I do not :p ].

The first one I'd had - I had brought it out too late in the season and it didn't take once back outside and just did absolutely zero in terms of growing. :?

Much better prepared this year, and this mistake won't happen again. :twisted:
 
Brugs are nice size, and just introduced them to some full sun today, they've been in part shade/indirect lighting previous. Decided to just stick them in the cheapo greenhouse I have.

one week later

Did ff ocean forest with 30% more perlite in 5gal pots.

After transplant I used 3 drops of superthrive per 750ml of water, split the dosage between the 2 pots, then watered with the well water after. Superthrive is a godsend for transplants and any sort of plant shock.

@Mindlusion

Nice plant dude! Looks real good.

Mine's taking off like crazy, hopefully it'll get a couple blooms before the seasons over here. Might have a to try a bit of season extension in the greenhouse outside - I'd like to get it to a reasonable size for overwintering indoors.
 
Well, checked the brugs this morning. Looks like it'll be blooming before the first frost/cooler weather hits, just what I'd wanted before having to bring them in for dormancy. Looks like the mild bloom nutrients gave it a tiny nudge in that direction. :)

Sorry, maybe I'm just high and tired, but what makes you think its a Brugmansia?
I've only seen that spiny, spiky pod you've posted at the beginning of the thread on Datura species.
I skimmed over the past two pages a couple times, maybe I missed something. What Brugmansia species is it supposed to be? Seems like a Datura to me. But I could just be stoned. What Brug species has a spiky pod like that?

Yup you're exactly right, that's my fault, I always lumped brugs and daturas under 'brugmansia, two different genus. The person I got the pod from said brugmansia, though I should've payed more attention to the taxonomic stuffs; seed pods being number one lol.

Guess tatt needs an introductory course on Solanaceae fam IDs :p Thanks for pointing that out cave paintings. :thumb_up:
 
If you haven't checked it out, might I recommend Huanduj: Brugmansia as a solid read and resource. A beautiful and extensive book. It includes cultivation methods, identification and some ethnobotany. Awesome plants, man! Been enjoying the thread process. :thumb_up:

Haha no problem! I haven't been on my plant game for a while so I was suddenly starting to doubt myself. Looks like Datura inoxia or meteloides I think..
Considering the toxicity issues with these plants, its good to know what's what. Though from what I understand, the alkaloid content varies so much plant to plant and by conditions, that dosing basing on alkaloid concentration may be impractical. I trust you know what you are doing though, and will likely work up from very low doses.
Enjoy and safe travels.
Beautiful plants, and a native to where I'm from originally. Very pungent flowers.
