New guy here browsing, this seems like a place to start.

Hello there fellow psychonauts. I am the sillyplantguy. I collect and grow all types of ethno plants, veggies, herbs and some flowers. I have been collecting for years with varied success, all the while learning about the plants and their cultivation. During my days, I work in the scientific field. In the last 10 years, I have been experimenting in plant extracts. I have extracted a lot of different plants now with mostly positive results. As far as the name of this site goes, I have tried extractions with mimosa, acacia confusa, chacruna, and yopo seeds. All have been a success of one kind or another. I now grow all the plants as the raw plant materials are now unavailable to me in the South. So I grow and I grow. As i get older I prefer to grow the plants more than make extracts. I also grow sacred cacti, san pedro, peruvian torch, and slower growing bigger brother. It took me 12 years to find these plants, I guess persistence pays off. Another plant, E. Novogranatense, took me about 14 years to finally find and now i have living specimens to clone. Recently, I have been learning about the Cathus edulis species and their properties cloning and reproducing. I currently have been sprouting Voacanga africana, its very hard to grow from seed but I now have several of those sprouted from seed. Gardening is a pass time for me that helps me be centered and stress free. I also grow everything organic, using all recycled containers, organic compost I make year round, and water with rain water I catch all year round. Happy Plants make for happy gardeners! I hope everyone is having a good day.

Hello SillyPlantGuy,

Welcome to the Nexus. Other than maybe needing to be edited and broken up into discrete paragraphs, I really loved your introduction. I'm surprised I'm the first to reply.

You sound like a number of the folks here. We have several active members actively employed in scientific/engineering fields and a large number of students. Though interests and activities here are as diverse as the membership . . .

I don't want to make any assumptions, though if I had to guess it would be that you have a lot of experience . . . Have you tried DMT yet? If so, smoked, oral or both? What did you think?

Your garden(s) sound amazing. Many Nexians maintain similar gardens. I know I am safe in speaking for them, myself, all of us in asking if you might have any photos you could share?

I encourage you to take a good look around. There's a lot going on around here, including plant research, where you may choose to play an active part.

Here's hoping to see you around and again, a very warm welcome to you.

Paragraphs, I can do that. Thanks for the welcome. Yes I have tried DMT smoked, insufflated in raw crystals as well. I have done it in Yopo both nasally and smoked in a water pipe. Right now I grow chacruna, yopo trees and one species I found out about that I find here in South Florida when I feel the need. Its mostly unknown, but I have seen one or two references down under.
Since the Mimosa dried up online, I have been thankful for this other plant. It doesnt have the high yields of mimosa, but its product is superior by weight and comes out a high yellow crystal color, see through yellow. 100 mg of it is too much, and I was doing the mimosa product regularly. Luckily I can go harvest it locally, I dont have to run out or get it online anymore. I hope to have enough chacruna leaves so I can have a batch made from plants I have grown, in addition to some I have harvested.
Give me some time, I can put together pics of some of the different plants, springtime is just starting, Id like to take pics once summer really kicks in. My plants are all starting to warm up now. Should be a good year for my garden. All the cacti are in a couple big aquariums and my peyotes live indoors in a wind sill.
I saw peoples yields, and my best, doing an A to B reaction was 1000g of mimosa, with three gallons of vinegar, I yielded 15.8g of fluffy white crystals.
