First off, thank you! This site has been extremely helpful in trying different extraction methods for DMT from Mimosa Hostilis root bark. Lots of very useful info here.
I just acquired some caapi and pychotria viridis seeds. I soaked the seeds in water, then peroxide. The Mayans only plant seeds and install wood stakes during a full moon. Certain tropical wood will not cut straight or allow nails to be driven into it unless the moon is full. They also claim that termites cannot enter wood that was cut during a full moon.
With this full moon week, I planted the viridis seeds in wet: peat disks, silica sand, vermiculite, course and fine coco coir, then put a lid on them. After a couple of days, I decided that they’ll stay too wet and most likely rot. I’ll leave the lid off and just mist them daily because that room is 89 degrees with 82% humidity. I’m currently living north of their natural environment, but it’s very similar, so I decided to make some changes to better mimic this indoors. I can’t plant seeds outside because the leaf cutter ants and iguanas eat seedlings.
I then planted 3 caapi seeds, one each in: silica sand, fine coco coir and jungle dirt mixed with perlite. I want to observe how they come up and grow. Just steps away from me is natural jungle dirt with several other types of vines covering the trees. Depending on the weather, caapi seeds usually drop from now until November. Since it’s the middle of the rainy season, both types of seeds would either be intermittantly wet, or inundated and rot. In a few weeks, the dry season will start, so the soil would begin to dry out, while the temperature will get cooler.
With this in mind, I also just dropped a few of the viridis seeds into the jungle dirt/perlite mix.
I’ll keep you posted about their progress. I’ve attached a photo of them, as well as the natural jungle dirt before I added the perlite.
