Cactus / Ethno Ring commences!
#5303757 - 02/15/06 04:35 PM (18 years, 3 months ago) |

So, originally the idea was a Free Cactus Ring, but has shifted into the "Ethno Ring" for free seeds and cuttings (cactus and other).
The Ethno Ring website isn't up yet, but it is being worked on and will hopefully be fully functional within a week.
While we will store seeds, we will not be storing donated cuttings while they wait to find a new home, unless you pay to have them shipped to us. Otherwise the system will work by you notifying us that you have cuttings for donation, then they will be listed as available on the website with your email (or if you do not want it to be shown they can contact one of the storehouses), and when someone wants one they will send the shipping money directly to you, and you will send the plant directly to them.
We are applying eve69's idea of credit, and eventually a free pass, to cactus and plant cuttings, but not seeds. Each cutting contribution you make gives you one cutting credit. Once you have contributed 3 times you will no longer be bound by the credit rule. Alternatively, donating especially rare seeds, or helping the ring out in some other way can earn you a credit, but whether your contribution earns a credit is up to the discretion of the storehouse runners, currently llamabox and myself. It may also be that if you have the vouch of a couple trusted ring donators that you will be granted a credit, but only once.
Seeds and anything else will be sent out once a week on Tuesday. We will not answer emails asking whether an item has been shipped yet. If it happens to be convenient, a storehouse may send out items other days of the week, but this is not obligatory, and emails asking us to do so will probably have the opposite effect on us. We will not take responsibility for lost mail.
Ordering starts once the website is completed and posted. On it will be a list of what's available. This will probably happen about a week from now, as we're allowing that amount of time for seeds to be donated and ordered.
If money support is something you'd like to do you can send it by mail, and maybe later, paypal. It will help cover the cost of PO boxes, seed orders, and should there ever be money after expenses we'll save it for the next expenses or take it as reward for our efforts. We're telling you now what will happen in that situation of "if," but we don't know what level of support we're going to have. We are planning on having t-shirts and perhaps other objects for sale on the site in the future. If we have something cool to offer, we'll try to do so.
We are now requesting all the seeds you wish to donate. Know and label precisely the variety of seeds you are sending. For example, if you send "Peruvian Torch" seeds, we want to know exactly what variety of Peruvians they are, and I don't think there will be any demand for the kk242 kind. Also know that you can send/receive to/from either storehouse from either country.
Ethno Ring PO Box 52527 1136 - 2929 Barnet Hwy Coquitlam, BC V3B 7J4 Canada
Managed by Disco Cat
or
Ethno Ring PO Box 1303 Richmond, Indiana 47375 USA
Managed by llamabox
A UK storehouse may be available in the future.
When the ordering starts: Send $1 in an envelope to the storehouse closest/most conventient to you with the type of seeds you wish to receive, and also an email address in case we need to contact you concerning the seeds. Depending on our supply and how much people donate, this $1 will allow you to receive one, to three kinds of seeds - otherwise we might be giving away too many seeds to too few people. This is a system that we'll find the proper balance for later, as experience gathers.
Wish us luck, D.C.

count on a minimum of 5 bucks from me, maybe more. I will also TRY and send you guys about 10 bucks a month without requests for seeds, simply because I know every little bit helps in these kinds of situations, and too many of my favorite sites have been closed down because of a lack of funds. I think it would be unlikely, but very cool, if people that used this service, and even people who just liked it, were to try and help support it via donations, in order to keep it running. we have all had the dissappointed feeling you get when you find out a wonderful thing was closed down because no one donated, or there were a lot of donations at one time, but then they all tapered off.

I can probably donate some seeds. but to be honest I dont see the point to this. there is no guarantee that the seeds I get from a free seed ring holds the quality i am looking for, for cactus its impossible to id the specie by looking at the seeds. there is always a couple of houndred other cactus with similar seeds. So this will be a system based on trust to the donators. on the net there is several seed vendors with ethnobotanical seeds, many of these sells everything from unviable seeds to seeds that is not what they are supposed to do, species like intoxicant mint and peruvian torch is very often something else. this goes for seeds and for plant material. But this is just my opinion on the matter, i like the idea tho so I will be willing to donate some seeds to get you started.

Indeed. It would be years before you could properly ID the species.

yea, but if it is free, at least you don't lose money(shipping is so cheap, that it doesn't count as real money) like you would to a vendor online.

sure its free, but if you belive you are growing 30 san pedros and you use years to care for them and they turn out to be some inactivc trich instead your in for a huge disapointment, and you will regret not spending a few dollars that ensured you the specie you wanted

Right, it would be worth it to do for curiosity if you're already growing trusted seeds. But... isn't the point of a free seed ring to provide them to people who *don't* already have something going?

That is true, and in that case I can only stress that people need to accurately labal their seeds and know what they are themselves. Still, this worry only comes into play concerning a certain amount of species. If someone has not labeled what variety their seeds are they may just not be used, or they may be given to people in addition to their order as a bonus.

I was advised by the moderators there to place it in the "Other Botanicals" thread. This is a free Ethnobotanical seed ring, meaning we supply many different types of seeds, not just Cacti.

Oh now this is bloody wonderful. I wholeheartedly applaud you blokes for having the mettle and the kindness to do this.
I may have to take advantage of your services at some point. Until then, I'll keep you guys in mind if I order seeds and can spare a decent amount of them.
Cuttings are far too scarce for me to donate, sadly

Thanks to everyone interested in seeing the ring work. Our website is still in production. I'm wanting it to be finished soon as well, and I'm betting seed donations will probably increase a lot once it's up. In case you're living in or near Canada, and are thinking of donating, the CAN base needs more seeds.
I had the idea that to aid with seed clarification people might also say the source of the seeds they're donating, example: online store, friend, my own plants, ebay. This would give us insight if we ever are unsure of a seeds proper plant origin.

I agree 100% May we can discern from the source what strain or variety the seeds may be, or where they originated.
The U.S. storehouse is already receiving requests for seeds, so keep those donations rolling in.

I've read your thread but I seem to be alittle thrown off.
I'm looking for some seeds and do I fill out a request form (hand written), mail it in with $1 and wait till they get sent to me, or do I need to do some interactions with the donators ( or does that only apply to cuttings?)?
Thanks if your willing to answer my simple yet silly questions, just really looking into some cacti seeds right now!

Right now we are trying to get the site up and running before we post an available list. You can send your dollar and request at any time but we may not have your requested seeds available. So if you are looking for a specific type of seed stock you should probably wait for the site and availability list.

The US ring-house received a request that we cannot fill. The request was for peyote, san pedro, salvia, or wormwood - none of which are listed as in stock on our site. If there were an email addy or forum screenname we'd message whoever the request belongs to, to let them know. llamabox is going to return the request to the sender with a note of explanation in it.
Our seedlist is a little messy right now, so sorry if that caused the confusion. If this is your request and you'd like to change it to something that we're currently carrying then you can message llamabox (do so quickly), or use the site email, and we'll send those seeds to the address given in the envelope.
Laters!

this is a great idea.. i just have a few questions (forgive me i skimmed some of the post).. if you trade seeds can you only get seeds in return? and the same for cuttings? if one wanted a cutting of say salvia or kratom, could seeds be traded for them?
also if you want any help with the website let me know.. scripting, design, whatever

Hi pH, Seeds are freegame for anyone, while we chose a trade system for the cuttings to ensure that people taking them are not doing so for a quick fix instead of growing them. Still, we might change things a bit.
As far as I know llama has a bunch of inactive cacti which aren't yet listed in the cuttings section.
Also, thanks for volunteering your webpage abilities, if we ever need help we'll let you know

At the moment we have not had any active cuttings donated. If however you would another type of cacti we have had about a dozen different types of non-ethno cacti donated. I have not listed them on the site yet, as I am still awaiting confermation on a couple species ID's. If interested just PM me and I will tell you what they are and PM you pics.

I will be donating Datura Innoxia, Ipomoea Pupurea, Ipomoea Tricolor & Papaver Somniferum seeds ASAP. I may also donate a cutting of my Passion Flower (Passiflora Incarnata). How would I go about packaging it so that it does not die? Could someone give me more info on shipping cuttings, thank you? Also, is it okay if I just send in 5 dollars now as an advance payment for seeds/cuttings I may request in the future?

I find the best way is to ship rooted cuttings in a plastic bag with wet moss or newspaper. Leave the leaves sticking out of the bag. I have also seen people use soil-less gel to root cuttings. You can root these in deli cups with a hole in the top just large enough for the stem to go through. The only thing you should have to worry about is drastically low temps in the dead of winter. I have seen small heat packs packed with bare root plants before. Just be sure they have moist roots and will only be in transit for 1-2 days. Cacti however, once the cutting is calloused over it should be OK to ship just as is with a little bit of padding of course.

Incoming orders [Re: llamabox]

OK folks, I am having a tuff time securing donations, so I put in a large seed order. I will be receiving 600 T. pachanoi & T. terscheckii seeds. I had an offer for a couple salvia cuttings, so they will be available in the next month or so. I also have passiflora seeds and vine cuttings coming in. I believe I have nailed down Id's for most all of our cacti & succulents, and will be posting a few on the cuttings page by the end of the week. None of them are Tricho's so these will be for our true cacti lovers. I hope you all stop in and check us out. Laters.....

woah...how did I miss this update!!! If you ever need financial support for buying seeds (when you aren't getting any donated), remember that you can PM me and I will send whatever you need/I can spare.

Hey everybody! I've pretty sweet announcement to make regarding new Ethno Ring stock: Gigantic props go to PharmBoy for a donation of around 2500 T. Peruvianus seeds!!! WOO! I'm excited & I command you to be as well :P
THIS IS NO ORDINARY LAMP! erm... I mean, These are not the kk242's!
Here's the info I was given concerning their origin, with some bits edited out:
"They taken from the hand picked fruit from the same cactus that - edited - harvests to sell their - edited - dried cactus flesh. There is some speculation... ...that they are actually the 'true' peruvianus, or T.Macrogonus.
They grow wild in peru, so there really is no exact strain. But they are a well known seed that germinate well and have a good alkaloid content. They were harvested in 2005 so are good and fresh."
Currently they are only at the Canadian base, but I will be mailing lots of them to llamabox in the US pronto. The seeds will also be added to our website's availability list shortly. Cheers, all!
P.S. llamabox also tells me he has both some salvia cuttings & kanna cuttings comming

Any word on the site? I'm going to have tons of morning glory cuttings in just a bit so I'm kinda excited.

I've been having the same problem getting access to the seedring.
Are there any plans to start up a UK seedring or isn't there enough forum users to justify/arrange it?

The seedring's website has been down for a long time, but hopefully llama will get it working again.
In regards to a UK ring, it's really dependant on someone in the UK wanting to host it. I have no clue how many UK'ers are on this/other board(s).
