Do you just do an iso extraction on it?

After a couple abortive attempts we finally have liftoff! Good thing I only planted a couple seeds at a time, turns out they want to be planted very shallowly and kept cozy warm. They'll have all winter to fatten up and reproduce vegetatively in the cab before going outside in the spring.

When I ordered them I noticed the same supplier carried Trichocereus Peruvianus - I had to get some just so I wouldn't feel bad about the shipping being more expensive than my order... Cacti are fussy little bitches when they're tiny, but I've got them this far and I've found a fungicide that doesn't seem to phase them (Ortho rosepride funginex AKA triforine), so I have high hopes for these guys. Sometime soon I'll pick up some nepolitos (cactus pads) at the grocery store and root them to graft a couple onto for faster growth.

Leonotis is growing well, will need division soon though.

And the cacti are growing like, well, cacti...

Actually that's pretty good growth for a cactus, seem to like the HPS.

I guess I'll make this a little leonotis and trichocereus grow journal to contrast the fast with the slow. Here's how they are as of 12-12.



The leonotis is just starting to branch out. They're kind of etoliated competing with the MJ in the flowering chamber, but I can take cuttings if they get top-heavy and they'll have infinite overhead in about 4 months anyway.



The cactus have actually multiplied in size by about the same percentage as the leonotis this time. You can see at the bottom a third cacti that appearantly took the short bus. He go the seed husk stuck on his head and couldn't grow. It's still alive, but at 1/8 of an inch long with microscopic hair-like roots it's too fragile for me to attempt to help in any way. I have about 15 more seedlings in other containers so I'm not sweating it.

I smoked the first of the leonotis, lower leaves that had fallen off. Now I'd had a bunch of rockstar/vodka, yeagermeister, and there was some tiny snippets of bud mixed in (from microscoping trichs), so this was far from a double blind scientific test. But I am feeling something...

First drag went "blarg" *cough cough* *hurl*, and with the yeagermeister gone (yeah, I'm plastered) I could focus on the rest of the joint. It was smokeable, but I'm too inebriated to be an impartial jury. Guess it'll have to wait until later. Either the three leaf tips I'd microscoped causes a moderate buzz or the lenotis did something... I guess I'll figure it out later, they're still growing and should be well established (and perhaps cloned) once the risk of frost is gone. With 8 plants from only half the seed in stock, I'm well stocked for the future.

Oh yeah, merry christmas. My festivities were cut short by my pregnant wife fueding with her mom, keeping me from even enjoying my in-laws company. Pregnant women are worse than crackheads... Now that she's asleep I'm breaking out the big bowl and praying for a, whatever, as long as it comes out.
