Just checking. Ok, it's on my porch, not in direct light.. We've been over 90 all this week, should be fine. It's fat with water now, so I know I can easily leave it a month or more without worries, and probably much longer. I'll post pics every couple of weeks.

Same here really glad to see them coming back so quick, there are a few cracks on the dried cut surface area on all of them it looks like new heads ready to Alien out "john Hurt" style

@atomicshaman: any idea what causes them to change their rib pattern like that? Love the way it looks but dunno why it happens.

from what i've read it's probably from crossbreeding and genetics. i've also read of someone trying to "make" one by hacking off ribs.
awesome pix and plants, third eye. how did you get the trich to pup like that ?

Thank you. Forced mostrose growth by experimenting with different hormone combinations and concentrations.

Fuckjng gorgeous ferrel! I love cactus flowers! Gonna break down and buy some from the stores, I'm also gonna go find some from the desert out here, they're basically little spines that stick out of the ground. There's bunches and the easiest way to find them is try to sit down, they're generally right where you wanna sit. I'll get ID before harvest to be sure they're not in harms way, and I'll be respectful when obtaining them.
-------------------- I challenge you to challenge yourself more! When you feel complacent and ready to hang it up, challenge yourself to get over it! If you fail, don't look at it as you didn't succeed, look at it as you would a rock face you're trying to climb. Stand back, wayyyy back, and look at it and plot another path. If you can't find one, shuffle down the way a little, a little change of scenery or a view from a different angle may give you the insight you need. Anything I state is relayed information from a friend of a friend and should be viewed as completely fictitious. I do not partake in any illegal or grey-area-of-the-law activities, but do have lots of friends who may or may not. -fngbronco Pill Divider Agar Tek
