All the stories of customs snatching peoples stuff and prosecuting them for a "pound of DMT" has got me nervous.
I don't want to make an order anymore.

I guess thats what they want to happen.:shock:

Better start growing everything in time having your own supply will be the best way. they sure couldn't come to your house and charge you for owning a tree.

Already on it...if I could only get my mimosa to germinate.

 

[DoctorMantus]

Have you tried soaking it in warm water for a day or so, or maybe try scoring the seed. good luck

 

[The Chr0nn01553ur]

What about orders within the US?

But they sure could charge you for owning a weed?

I've tried both nicking and soaking them, I've got a few more I will try in the spring but all my others have failed

I'm sure ordering within the US is fine but still... gives me the creeps the kind of bull these people get away with. Busting people for bark, what next?
You've got a good point Purges!

 

[SpartanII]

What about ordering whole or shredded MHRB? They wouldn't say that's DMT would they?

I've had a pretty good success rate with my mimosa seeds. I use some tiny, sharp scissors to snip away the shell almost all the way around the edge of the seed. This is incredibly tedious and fiddly work, but allows the embryo to expand during the soak. Just nicking the outer shell isn't enough. These are tree seeds with very tough casings so it's important to free the embryo as much as possible to promote maximum hydration.

Next I soak them in a thermos of lukewarm tapwater for a couple of days (most seeds will swell during this time), then wrap them in a doubled-over wet (sterilised water) paper towel, which goes in a clean baggie to be stored in warm darkness for a week or so.

In my experience with this method, you can expect at least 5 healthy germinations out of every 10 seeds. Some I've taken out of the bag were already inch-long seedlings - those were the ones I kept, and I threw away a dozen or so due to space constraints.

Keep trying. I don't think it's beyond anyone's realm of possibilities to eventually cultivate their own private mimosa crop.
