Indoor Vodsel's Growings

[Vodsel]

Every single patch of soil I own is contained in a pot. Some day I hope to land in a place with a garden, or just a few square meters in a yard. That would make me very happy.

But so far, all I can grow is indoors... after drooling healthily with some of the wonderful things many nexians make thrive in their gardens, I feel like leaving a little gallery of some of my babies here as well

EDIT: I will try to keep this first post updated and linked to other pictures in the thread that might be useful.

They are all very beautifull, you have done well.

I'm jealous, your weed plant look immense.

Thank you, brother. It takes a few tries to grow fragrant, packed flowers... as you probably know

Disgracefully I have been smoker for over 10 years and have never grown my own plants.

Do you grow your mimosa under lights or are you lucky enough to live somewhere warm?

 

[Vodsel]

I've never bought anything in the black market, save for a lump of hash when I was 20 or so. And I think once you grow, you want nothing else. Same applies to any type of medicine.

And I do live in a warm place, but I grew everything under lights so far. Now that the mimosa is getting too big, I will have to move it by the brightest window I have...

The plan is to apply a few bonsai techniques to other two mimosas I am starting, and see if I can make them progress controlling the height.

Such happy plants, beautiful little garden Vodsel
Seriously never even considered growing my own entheogens. Though I'm just now finishing my first grow of a weed that looks curiously similar to that last one:wink:
At first I was all bummed cause my flowers aren't even close to looking like that. They're like mini versions though they're thoroughly frosty. Learned LOTS though. Loving that jurema? Was it from seed?

Good luck on your gardening mission, I'm sure it will be fruitfull

What they say about that weed might apply to entheogens as well... they might not be addictive, but growing them can be

It's an awesome activity. So rewarding. Had I know, I would have started much earlier.

Loving that jurema? Was it from seed?

Yes. They are really easy to germinate.

Thanks and good luck with your grows!

Much appreciated, my friend. It already is.

Thank you, oden. I will be glad to help, if I ever can. Although I think there are many around here that know their gardening way better than I do.

Peace.

what sort of light do you have for the mimosa? I might just bring all my mimosa trees indoors and go that way all year long and do more cold hardy acacia's outside..

 

[ComplacentCatalyst]

Dang, That's a productive 5 months! Thanks Vodsel you too.

Right now I'm only using lights that have barely any impact in the indoor temperature. I find cool white fluorescents work great for mimosa spectrum wise, but since their weak spot is raw lumens power, I have added a little 90W LED fixture. Probably metal halide would work good, but I find it cumbersome to install in my set and too high consuming.

So far, everything good I think. But since I haven't grown mimosa outdoors, I cannot really tell the difference. Not that I have a choice now, so...

Looks very good. I start silene capensis growing this year too, I don't know if we can't harvest it without killing it ?

Well, mimosa can be sustainably harvested, so there's no reason why Silene couldn't be... the problem is that the yields would probably be very low. I read that commercial growers wait 3-4 years to harvest the whole silene plant.

But the first time I harvest, I will definitely do my best to re-root the main plant once roots are harvested. It might take work, but come the day I will try.

In the meantime, keeping eyes open for other growers reports

Very nice words particularly coming from you, Ice House. Thank you!

Vodsel!

I see you are making excellent progress! I am very impressed with the nurture you have given your babies. Thank you for sharing with us, and keep us posted!\.

This is my eight months old mimosa. She spent the first five months indoors quite happy, but by the middle of june the growing had slowed down and the leaves in the new shoots showed a paler green than usual. My indoor light setting was probably not enough to keep up, and the spectrum was overall too red due to a LED lamp that cannot compete with any good MH or HID light that I do not own.

So I moved it out, and after a few weeks receiving around 5 hours of direct early sun, and reflected the rest of the day, the boost in the growth was visible.

She was repotted when 7 months old. I am trying now a method to make the sustainable harvest of the roots easier in the future. The plant was moved to a large hydroponic (gridded) pot, and that was fit inside of a larger pot with perlite. I'll keep watering and fertilizing both substrates, and in time I will lift the inner pot and trim the roots that dug into the perlite. I expect this way to keep the main root ball in good shape and easy to move, and also the harvested roots will be much easier to clean.

wholy crap dude.

The mimosa spirit must love you I wish all my trees were that tall right now..I should get some better lights though all I have are crappy $30 home depot lamps but they are still growing..I put them outside and at first they seemed okay with it..and then not so okay so I brought them back indoors..wish it was a bit warmer here.. We moved into a whole house though so I have lots of space just trying to get a larger light system set up for winter etc so I can get my trees actaully looking like trees lol..

They grow a lot in the summer just with the sunlight comming through the window in the room I have them in..but in the winter the lights I am using just dont approximate that sunlight so they start to really slow down.
