Hello !
I'm gonna show you what I'm growing in my EG.
First of all, the first ethno plant I grew because I love the high these seeds give. Three of them takes you to a 8hours journey in heaven . My Hawaiian baby woodrose. I'm not sure about her age. Maybe 7 or 8 monthes. she is seed grown.

These are three HBW babies. I think they are less than two monthes old.

My Kanna babies sowed the 28th of october :

Three lophophora williamsii seedlings sowed the 28th of october too :

And to finish my T. Pachanoi seedlings sowed two weeks later I think :

I don't forget the little ethno puss I'm growing too 

I'm planning to try grafting some of those seedlings (pachanoi and lopho) on pereskiopsis that are rooting right now. I grow many other things. I'll show later on. Updates will come regularly. I hope I'm not gonna lose my kanna seedlings. They look so feeble.

Sweet garden you have there. And welcome to the shroomery!
I will be starting some HBWR soon myself. How did you go about starting yours? Any special steps taken?
-------------------- One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' was his response. 'I don't know', Alice answered. 'Then', said the cat, 'it doesn't matter.'

Gently slice the hull with cisors or razor blade and put them into water and wait for them to get swollen. Then put them in moist almost wet soil at 1cm deep and wait. Do not water them until the cotyledons are deployed ! risk of mold attack !

I have never needed to slice the seed, do you find increased germination doing that? I follow the same steps as you but have never sliced the hull and I get roughly 80-90% germination.
These plants love a shit ton of light and if you have some sort of root pruning pot that will help immensely. I use Texel bags which are nursery tree potter bags with a copper thread that burns roots when they touch the side of the pot and encourages a larger/healthier/more fibrous root base as opposed to a regular pot of the same size. Ive been able to keep a healthy plant in a 3 gallon root pruning pot for 3 years with no fuss. I also manually prune 1/3 of the roots off the bottom once a year when I cut the vines off at the end of the season.

They just swell quicker when they are nicked. It has no further effect.

Did you cover em up with saran wrap or anything while waiting for them to sprout? Just regular ol soil work ok for em?

Nice garden! What kind of light do your HBWR get? I have some seeds but am hesitant to plant them since there is nowhere in my house that gets decent natural light.

The babies are under 120W fluo tube.
The big one is under no light and doesnt seem to bother. You can grow them with no light. They will survive.

Well. It is said to be active. It is said to have tropane alkaloids and it is know as a medicinal specie. Also known for poisonning livestocks. If someone has more information about it... Anyways A. nervosa is perfect for getting high. No need to try doubtful experiments haha.
It is one of the unique ipomoea capable of growing and sustaining its weight without climbing on a support. Flowers are deep pink or pink-whitish or even white.
I grow many kinds of ipomoea. Next update i'll be showing my caudiciforms ipomoeas :-)

Im going to look into that. If it does conatain tropane then colour me intriqued!
IMO/IME Turbina corymbosa is the best source of LSA for recreational use. Much better than HBWR.
Im excited to see more of your Ipomoea!!

Have you had any experience growing turbina corymbosa? Ive heard it was quite difficult, and have avoided trying growing it because of that.

I have managed to germinate one out of 10 seeds maybe... The seedling is two monthes old and has only grown One and a half leaves and has lost cotyledons. I use the same setup as all my other ipomoeasbut it dosent seem to work.

Lots of luck with Turbina! I have 4 plants that are almost a year old, they grew vines over 4ft this summer but I didnt let them flower. Right now they are in smaller pots for the winter and under an LED to just stay alive until next summer, they look great though 
 This pic is from sometime around july  I cut them back pretty low and potted them in individual 1L pots for the winter

Turbina is a short day flowering plant so it flowers in the later half of the summer when the days become shorter naturally. I did not let mine flower sort of on purpose. A few years ago my ex was feeding my Ipomoea tricolor waaay too much nitrogen throughout the summer without me realizing. She was fertilizing with miracle grow while I was at work, not maliciously lol she thought she was helping . Anyway all the nitrogen prevented the morning glory from flowering, not a single fflower all summer. So I planted the Turbina in a soil with high nitrogen on purpose to see if it would react the same as the Ipomoea. It did  I could have guessed that and mostly did but I didnt care if they didnt flower because I bring them in for the winter so Ill flower them next year!
