Alright! A new week, a new updated post! First thing I want to address this week is the "defensive" stance I referenced last week. I was able to capture a photo after adding some mosquito bit tea to help with the fungus gnats, which was a bit too warm at application. So here are the photos of the Mimosa Tenuiflora (Hostilis) during and after the stance was displayed. It seems to do this when the temperature and/or humidity get higher than it's preferred levels.
Secondly, I got my Datura and Nicotina rustica seeds in. The datura will be strictly ornamental, but I felt that it deserved my time, nonetheless. Strictlymedicinalseeds has been great for me so far in my endeavors.
E. Nongravatense and Papaver Somniferum are continuing to grow very well with seemingly no issues or hiccups. For the Non-G, I am still keeping the humidity above 70% with the ambient temperature being roughly 72-77 degrees F.
The P. Som are just in open air in the house.
I have spent the last week and a half getting my different Cacti used to less humidity, as it was time to remove the domes before I experienced any issues with molds. Today I removed the film completely from each after punching holes in the film in 3 day increments. By the time I got to 5 holes, I waited 3 days and removed the film completely. So more on that next post.
Hyssop, Wild lettuce, and Ashwaganda are coming up, but doing so slowly. Slow and steady wins the race lol. My Chocolate and White Habaneros making a cameo!
Also, while they are not quite psychoactive, I planted a bunch of corn to distill at harvest. (My buddy just got a new still, so I couldn't help myself)
The rest of the photos are just updates on plants growing well with no real change in situation, such as bundle flower. Some of the Morning glories were moved outside, where they will be trained up the pillars so the front of the house flowers out up the pillars. I thought that would be a really cool side project, since I am already growing them anyway. Morning glory and Calea are growing by far the fastest out of everything. I suspected the MG would, but the Calea is a nice pleasant surprise.
That is pretty much the gist of it all this week. I am still struggling on some of the more difficult to sprout seeds, but have a fresher batch of each seed coming soon. I also ordered an Amanita Muscaria spore print and a Pine tree grow kit; hoping to inoculate a seed/seedling in hopes that in a few years I will get Amanitas. I will also be making a slurry to spread through the wooded areas near my home, so we shall see how that turns out. My indoor mushroom project is starting to take off. It should be about 5 or 6 more days before I am able to get the monotubs out, and when I get the tubs out, I will either add the grow here, or possibly do a mushroom log. Not sure what I am going to do there, yet. As always, much love, and have a great weekend!
