A couple of today's flowers, is there any better way to wake up in the morning with a cuppa coffee and work your way to the patio to be welcomed to a beautiful summer morning than some Lophophora Flowers! Well maybe the sweet smell of Evening patio Datura Inoxia & Datura stramonium flowers which are intoxicatingly delightful

 

[DetritusTheEgo]

These flowered in sync so was able to cross pollinate them. I get seed from them regardless but get 2-4x the number of seeds if cross pollinated:

Lophophora Williamsii Var Hippolito Coa

This ones decided to push out a little dainty flower bloom this morning, thought it was kinda cute and entertaining...

Pereskiopsis Spathulata

Cacti Farming.... Need to get these propagated and growing nicely for some winter seed sowing, will start some Lophophora & Williamsii here over the summer (Indoors) and some Trichocereus Seed I still need to lock in on this fall. Plan to have a grafting fest with a majority of the planned seedlings..


Love my Turtles and this pot was one of my favorite out door planters do believe I have another kicking around... maybe need to consume some Mescaline and get the paints out and give them a vibrant painting one of these evenings!

This Serra Blue x SS02 is burning a hole on my counter. I've got a few grams of HCL but this one is getting made into a tea once the weather warms up, and have a fire and do some star gazing.


Still debating weather to make a tea or try the cactus resin,similar to this thread.

Did you know you can evaporate your filtered san pedro tea (ie: oven@150F or food dehydrator) to yield a resin that is easily scraped up with your fingers and rolled into capsules? (It has a Taffy-like consistency)

This resin is far superior to pure extracted mescaline.

There's so much more to it...you gotta see for yourself.

This is golden, glowing, soul food.

You can get far more out of your cacti this way.
Just simply simmer or crock pot your pedro chunks (sliced like food) with lemon juice for as long as you want.

What my friend does is simmer the pot for 5 hours, the freezes it...

Well after an entire winter outdoors in the Canadian PNW on my deck covered only from rain this is seeming to be my only loss. It’s been like this for months unchanging. Definitely going to cut it. I think sideways rain still got in over winter and caused it. Next year I’m going to enclose the deck with poly on that side I think.

Awesome! Looks bridge to me so that's a big win. Have you eaten any?

Resin is nice. It's just concentrated tea, so idk if it's golden soul food more than tea is but definitely easier to work with. I like rehydrateling in into a little shot and sipping over a hour or so. I usually add apple cider vinegar or lemon juice so you end up with acetate or citrate. Did 2 ish grams of a scop x pach Oliva the other day and while it was subtle I did end up getting the guzheng in my garage tuned up finally and had a blast fiddling around. The cactus like being serenaded too!

Ya it’s bridge I started from seed. I have eaten from some of them yes but mostly I’m fighting slugs and just do small harvests here and there if I need to cut them or want cuttings etc. I mix all the strains/species together and extract so mostly I’m consuming pachanoi, bridge, peruvianus, scopes, validid/tersch etc all together.
