Except for don't do that-- they coat them in nasty stuff (so I hear) and you will really regret eating them. I'd only ingest them if you knew they were clean.

I never had an issue but I know what your saying.

Still best thing to do is buy a couple packs for pocket change that it cost and plant them next to a fence or something because they grow like wild fire and within a year or two you will have more then you could ever need. This ensures that your seeds are not coated.

purple? Isn't it blue?

Purple tends to be ipomoea purpurea -- I've heard this suck for anything lysergic related.

Na you want the baby blue ones which are like white in the middle. There are a few varietys of blue morning glorys but the heavenly blue is suppose to have the highest akaloid content.

     Sida Cordifolia (that's a weed ya'll - It grows in the wild in Florida so I'm hopeful heard it takes 14 days or more to germinate )

Yeah they do take some time to germinate, but under the right conditions they will grow very well and produce more seeds all grow season long. Good luck on this plant and keep me updated on it. It is one that interests me most.

Looks like you have a really nice collection of exotic plants, good work!

Not going to be growing much this year, some morning glories and poppies, but my main effort is going into just ONE grow, and probably a more difficult one than I've ever attempted before.

Claviceps purpurea.

Isn't that dangerous as in kill you sort of dangerous?

ahhhh-hem!

Good doctor Tsathoggua, allow me to introduce myself. I am a veteran space monkey, psychedelics tester and evidence consumer, disposable stirbar. If in the course of your work, you just happen to come across a time where you might need my services, you know how to contact me!

I am kidding, unless you would consider it.

Take a look at COMU. Be the first!

That's the one. Check out the price tag on that! I guess if you were bad ass you could synth it. I have a ref here somewhere covering its synth and performance vs the other popular ones. To not drag this thread any more off, I will post it in one of the other 'cid threads.

To get this back on track, I have now completely gone crazy for cactus. Now I have a pretty hefty collection of rare slow growing cactus, but only cactus. Little stabby fuckers, ones with itchy fluff, ones that most people cant even tell is a plant, or if they are told, they are sure it isn't alive. Other people really don't understand.

The real stars, the beacons, are the peyote. I can be on a run and sit in the peyote and level myself in seconds. Strange trippy shit even when you aren't eating them. I think about them more then I think about chem or porn.

I have a number of other bigger cactus, trico's, prickly pear, blue mertyl and one weird columnar one with tubular leaves at the top of the columns, but they are just growing and some rooting, waiting to become grafting stocks the next time I play Dr. Frankenstein.

Your stock plant, the roots and the bottom, is the pumps and reactor powerhouse of the system. To put it or any of the fast growers above something else would be counter to reason. Not to say don't try it! Hell, try everything once!

Another bit about the leaves, they only grow once. Not like most other plants. Try not to damage or knock them off.

One thing I was thinking would be a fun project would be to make a large grafting system. Take a large san pedro and place it in a large planter or in the ground, then at whatever height that lined up, take persk's and chop the tip and then lean them at an angle and chop an areole off the san pedro and do a tip of persk to san pedro areole graft with the roots of the persk buried. Do it all around the san pedro so you would end up with a columnar cactus looking like it is being held up straight by persk "props". That could give 7 or more root balls and leaves pumping hormones and energy to the san pedros tip, and the pedro would still be on its roots. Now when this monstrosity recovers, chop its head off and put a peyote on there. I could imagine that 7 perks and a san pedro pumping their love into one peyote would make it explode. Seriously, the hormone and nutrient levels would be crazy.

You read it here first!

EDIT->Sorry, I just read the bit about PP sandwiched between perks. The only issue would be the PP at that point would not be the growth tip, the apical meristem. It would not change the way cactus grow leaves, that is, only once. Putting other cactus on perks doesn't cause them to develop their tiny leaves, and lots have super tiny leaves right at the growth tip, so I don't think it will make a pp grow leaves. Try it anyway!

Toxic, definately, extremely so, most probably.

But really, I wasn't planning on baking bread with any of my sclerotia-infested grain, and using a sterile environment is essential for the project, the conditions for keeping bad things out, are essentially the same as for keeping desirable things IN.

I think when its up and growing, I'l get hold of some L-arginine, unless anybody can suggest other OTC (or OTC-ish) vasodilators, just in case the fit hits the shan, wouldn't like to have to explain to my doctor why I have ergot poisoning.
