Hey this ready to harvest?

[Rail_It]

Hello people. This is my p. brach grass. Started growing it like a couple weeks ago maybe a month or so and it isn't growing so rapidly its like kinda stalling at the current height (tallest blade about 7 in. if not a little bigger). Just wonderin maybe i should harvest this and let it go ahead into seed? or maybe cutting it might stimulate some growth? although i read someone say that it just goes into seed after cutting. I'm just worried it might not be enough for a good anahuasca dose. I believe that a good ana dose is supposed to be 1-2g for p. brach? 1-3% alk they say.

You will need at least 60g wet Brach, summer grown, for a mild dose. Your grass isn't ready. Persevere and your plants will pass that spindly stage and the blades will start to spread out.

gosh 60g, are you sure? cause if it does have up to 3% alkaloids that'd be almost 2 grams! correct me if i'm wrong though. its just i recall reading someone saying 3g wet was too much.

If it DOES have 3% alkaloids then you should consider yourself very very lucky. I'd prefer to be on the pessimist side with phalaris and be happy with a 0.1-0.5% .

it wont have three

but with light and water stressing... and maybe cutting (not sure if i'll do that one though) those are said to raise the alkaloid content by very much.

To further get a feel for the alkaloid profile/amounts and determine the usefulness of this plant I decided to conduct some oral + maoi experiments.
150mg of Manske extracted harmaloids was disolved in warm water and drunk and the juice of 30g wet foliage consumed 20 minutes later. I felt I may have detected
a faint effect not totally attributable to the harmaloids, but too weak that it couldn't be put down to placebo.
For the next experiment, thinking I may have underdosed on the maoi component for my body mass, I upped the dose to 250mg.
At 12.00 today I consumed the above followed 20 minutes later with the juiceof 60g foliage.If in doubt double the dose...
12.30: first alert
12.45: a definite effect, resigned to things dropping off here but hoping they don't.
12.55: this is not a dud. A moderately strong dmt effect. Only minor visual distortions and no patterns but an unmistakeable positive. Everything has 'the look'. Difficult to describe, a very organic and 'clean' feeling. Euphoria. I would maybe compare it to the 5 minutes after vaping 50mg of fb, only without the 'weight', and much extended over time. A plateau over a period of an hour with waves of increasing intensity gently lapping throughout.
14.00: rapidly drops away and I feel able to engage in light conversation. Feeling great, with colours still pleasantly enhanced with occasional echoes of the peak. The past hour and a half subjectively much longer than it was.
14.30: baseline. Negotiated a busy supermarket without incident.
No nausea or other unpleasant effects were experienced at any point during or after the trial.
No dietary restrictions of any kind were observed during either experiment. On both occasions I consumed strong coffee an hour before and a couple of hours after ingestion of harmaloids.
The plants used had been lightly trimmed once as far as stressing, no hardcore plant cruelty involved.
