Y'er Own Supply....

[Ident]

Hiya folks,

One of the many areas that this fine forum has turned me onto has been the idea of growing my own plants. The primary reason would be so that I could have my own supply of entheogens but I would love the whole experience of growing something from scratch, tending to and caring for it. I know that it must be very rewarding to be able to be self-sufficient as far as entheogens go and it'd be interesting to see how your relationship with your plants works when it comes to the final product.

My only problems are the fact that I know next to nothing about it, although I'm starting to learn, and that I don't know which plants would be most suitable for the climate of central Scotland. My main idea is to grow inside so I'm looking for any advice anyone can offer of what you would recommend. I don't have any sort of lighting set-up (hence why I've never grown weed before) or any specialist equipment but it's something I'd be willing to invest in long-term. Ideally I'd be growing my own herbs, chillis and suchlike but that's something that will happen over time as I learn more.

I know that salvia can be grown here and that I'd probably be ok with cactii indoors, but I'm curious about stuff like anadenanthera peregrina and phalaris grass. I know I'll be limited when it comes to mainly DMT containing materials so I'd stick to buying in MHRB, but bufotenine and 5-Meo sound pretty amazing too.

Thanks in advance for any help, I know that I can trust the people on here to give genuine and honest advice!

Cheers m'dears!

Hey dude Im also from Scotland, the weedge lol I grow salvia and planned on setting up a grow room of ethnos but shit hit the fan and I couldnt. My friend who knows a good bit about plants told me that I could just use one of those vegging lights im sure for all my ethnos and it would just be like running a bulb, rather than the expensive lights used for weed.

Im sure it can be done, I cant as im no longer at my old flat but one day I will definately try this. I could give you some salvia, got some khat seeds also and a few other things. My mate has a peruvian torch just at his window and its fine, and his salvia is doing great too, mines not so much

Also from Scotland - quite a few of us on here. Phalaris grass grows wild in Scotland, mostly along river banks and marshes, Hell there's hundreds of acres of the stuff where I live.

As for other plants - Salvia grows well during the summer outside as do cacti, I have tried Desmanthus Illinoensis but that never came to much (much the same with Kratom and HBWR). If you have space in your garden get a small greenhouse or some of those 3/4 tier cheap efforts as these can help.

But the main problems come with winter which as you know can be long and very fuckin cold and wet (I have lost many a Salvia to frost) so a heated greenhouse or growroom is advisable.

I would say that you should be able to grow virtually anything if you have acces to a growroom or heated greenhouse (growroom preferred), just stick your plants outside during summer and keep an eye on them.

Trial and error, Trial and error. Good Luck

Cheers troops, hevy appreshiatin it mukkaz :lol: (Reverting to non-Nedspeak....)

Thanks for the advice, I know it's going to take a considerable amount of research and, as you said, trial-and-error to find out what's going to work out best so I appreciate your input. I noticed too that there's a fair concentration of our fellow countrymen in here which is interesting and encouraging. Since I'm so new to this site and the whole area of entheogens it's really cool that I'm not isolated in this neck of the woods and that there's people like yourselves who speak from first hand experience.

I only just realised that I've been surrounded by phalaris grass for years 'cause I was thinking it was something different. See what I mean about knowing hee-haw about this stuff?! :lol:

As for the offer of seeds, I really appreciate that mate! Once I get myself some rudimentary bits and pieces I'll give you a shout and buy you a beer!

Thanks again folks.

I have heard from a friend who tried it that salvia is a pain in the ass to grow. Cactus takes forever. SWIM had good luck with a headshop bought spore kit. psilocybin is always a good route to try.

I'm currently trying to grow beans for a side project unrelated to drugs. I am too worried to ever grow drugs, that I'd kill a life containing such beauty. ;_;
Maybe if I do okay with these beans...

Grow something else first to see if you are even good at growing things.

Good for you, growing anything is always a rewarding experience. I do actually have a number of houseplants, lavender plants and other things growing so my ability to grow things isn't an issue.

You mention being concerned about growing drugs and killing a life? That's a very negative approach to take, plants and the substances they can provide have been assisting life since the beginning of time. If someone wants to grow a plant and harvest whatever from it then they should educate themselves and learn as much about it as possible, both the good and the possible bad outcomes, and not just go eating random leaves from unknown plants. I hear what you're saying but I think you owe it to yourself to learn more about entheogens and their responsible usage.

Haha, you're assuming that's how I intend to go about things~
Besides, I meant accidentally destroying the life of the plant. 'Sides, I mean, I pretty much intend on extracting anything I do myself, or have it done by a close friend if I'm not able to be there.
