Thanks. For whatever reason mine always seem to put on a majority of their growth in the winter when the humidity is down, the temps are cooler, and the weather is a little more cloudy. Strange creatures. She's a Blosser strain btw. I gave up misting a long time ago, just didn't find it necessary. Sorry guys, I had a major aphid attack last fall and won't have any cuttings to trade this spring 
I believe the plant pictured is about 8 months, and I think it would be reasonable to harvest at least five new plants and 1.5-2 oz per year, probly a lot more if grown outdoors.

They do take off after about 18" or so, the tips can be pinched at 9" to start new shoots.
My dream is to one day have a kiddie pool full

I just hope mine become happy and healthy before the plant becomes illegal, just so I know they won't be dying unexpectedly.

Someone once told me 'underwatering is better than over-watering' remember that and you're golden. Its usually just the first month or so after planting a new cutting that your chances of losing her are high (north and west windows are no good). Good air circulation is a big help too. I've had some Sallies that didn't 'take off' for 4-5 months, they have their own agendas

I've heard good things about using petunias for ridding your plants of bugs, sticky strips if you can find them and also putting a thick layer of perlite (not sure why) over the top of their soil has helped me before. Warning: Bone meal was what got me into the whole bug mess. Go Naked Lunch on their little bug asses

Like I said I won't have any cuttings for some time. Best bet is to checking the Marketplace forum. I know there are quite a few other growers here

My prefered dose for when I really want to break through (or come close anyways) is three big tokes (with no breaths in between) off from a non-standardized 9x alcohol extraction.
The extract is very easy to make, it only takes about 30 minutes to make + waiting overnight for it to evaportate.
My most profound experience with salvia happened off from one large leaf. I was laying on the bathroom floor and became part of a forest with frog-people and a Mary Poppins lady all dancing and singing around me.
I have broke through with a teaspoon of crushed plain leaves using water pipe before as well.
Its all about your setting and awareness I guess. Smoking around a campfire or a river would be nothing at all like smoking on a couch in my opinion. They both have their advantages though.
I think I'm too stoned to be on the computer right now, so I hope I answered your question

Have you ever chewed the leaf? Any experience with that?

Yeah, I get grossed out by the taste and texture though. I worked with tinctures for awhile, those are niiiice.

The tinctures I had were from sagewisdom, I never was able to make a good one just by using alcohol. I believe you would have to do a non-polar solvent extraction to get a close to pure product and then dilute that with alcohol.

so i assume you don't bother extracting from just a few leaves...
do you harvest a whole plant worth for extractions?
or do you simply collect leaves over time?

Koolio - I have got good effects from chewing dried leaves too, actually find it more pleasant than the fresh leaves.
1. Wet the leaves in a bowl of water.
2. Brush teeth and insides of mouth roughly to open some membranes.
3. Rinse well with scope.
simisu - You'd be surprised what a few leaves can add up to, especially if you're only smoking once or twice a moon. My leaves are always HUGE, bigger than a hand from finger tip to wrist, and wide as the palm. Much bigger than the little crisps that I have seen in online bags. Maybe mature leaves produce higher concentrations of salvinorin? Look closely at all the crystals on this leaf.
It is by no means necessary to harvest a whole plant at a time but I do. Typically they are collected over time, the leaves will yellow-up and fall off, but if you have space limitations and like to give out cuttings that's when the big collection happens.
Its amazing to me that these plants work their whole lives just to give us a little healing
I believe that growing and blessing our own plants takes us one step closer to understanding their lessons.

when i come across a clone of my own i imagine i'll work hard on cloning it as much as i can (to have at least 4 plants at all times)
that way mother plants are kept from harm and clones can be harvested after a while or given away!
so i guess when/if i want a smoke i can always take from the clones...
i think i like the idea of growing salvia better then smoking it

I kid you not, sometimes just watering her puts me into a little trance.
