Ive never had any luck keeping these alive....probably due to lack of nitrogen fixing bacteria....but i have heard accounts of people growing them from seed with no addition of nfb and no hassle...so who knows... other than that scarification of the seed greatly increases germination rate(at least in my experience)..... supposed to be an easy one to grow....but has given me nothing but problems when i try 
good luck, keep us updated

it'll be at least a year before it's grown enough to extract DMT i know, and i believe it's spelled desmanthus, but i'm not sure.

I'll look up the spelling 
Just seems like a challenging plant to grow, If I were ever lucky enough to extract DMT from it that would be a bonus.

I have several seedlings growing at the moment. They were lightly scarified with sand paper and left sitting in water for 12 hours and planted in John Inns No.2 compost. They were kept in a small propergator next to a south facing window. No added heat or light.

To introduce the nitrogen-fixing bacteria I germinate peas in the same pot as the plant for a few weeks and then removed them leaving some of the roots. Not sure if its needed for desmallthus illinoiensis though??.

thanks, I'll try it as you have done including the peas as it can't hurt.

SE are you planning on supplementing light when they get a tad bigger? i have an unobstructed south window, and when ever i try to grow anything from seed at this time of year ( without artificial light) they get spindley and die. Germination is fine, but they dont last long without adding light.

I don't expect them to do very well at this time of year. I am just experimenting at the moment and will be planting most of the seeds I have in the spring. I like to do a few testers to check on my germination method before risking the whole batch.
I don?t like to use lights for any of my plants because of the costs of running such lights

Hey do you all know how long it takes them to mature enough for DMT extraction.For instance, if I were to plant in spring and have like four months for growth will that be sufficient.Thanks
