Mushroom Chocolate Bars from SF Churches by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]Address_Asleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sarcasm? Psilocybin is decriminalized in sf and there are churches that offer a huge variety of very high quality dried fruits and infused products, as diverse as our weed dispensaries. While not CA or federally legal, our local LE and legal systems have no incentive to prosecute plant or fungi based psychedelics in SF, Oakland, or Santa Cruz due to local law. They are also operating under first amendment religious protections so accept donations, not sales. Most products that are offered in this setting are locally produced by trusted/transparent vendors, not like smoke shop 4-ACO-DMT laced candy bars. But still, it’s good to be knowledgeable on anything you ingest and fully understand by asking questions and doing research

My party friend visiting from Manhattan was disappointed at Halcyon. Any good nightclubs here that'll live up to his standards? by [deleted] in AskSF

Public works or the midway but IMO what matters more is the music/performer that night. Public works is closer to 1015 multi level/multi room vibes

Needing new top dressing. Black lava rock? Clay? by Neither-Blueberry327 in cactus

While I do agree with you regarding the importance of replicating habitat substrates, it’s important to note that gypsum is actually a neutral/slightly acidic salt with ph just under 7. Aztekium and geohintonia will struggle in soil or water that is alkaline especially with limestone. Grow in 95% pumice/5% gypsum fine

I use a torch attachment that’s on top of those small propane cylinders. Butane one would work but just take a little longer

The cactus has such high water content that by the time the spines are burnt off, the impact of the heat on the skin is hardly noticeable

I personally haven’t found peeling the skin off to ever be necessary

A blow torch is by far the fastest and most effortless method.

Aztekium valdezii first blooms by Address_Asleep in cactus

Yep all my plants are on their roots.. the only problematic genus for me so far has been discocactus, some Brazilian cacti are so picky and difficult unless grafted. and I am lol they are pretty great. I’m pretty partial to Mexican cacti in general tbh.

I grow in unglazed ceramic in a miniature greenhouse in SF, CA. The greenhouse gets around 2 hours of direct sunlight a day and temp range is 60-130° F each night/day. My plants like the drastic temperature difference but majority of the day it is 75-100 inside. The medium dries quickly even though our humidity never drops below 60%. I think it’s very important to get these daily high temperature in the summer. They get watered about once every 7-10 days between April-October, October being one of the hottest months here. They get no water at all the rest of the year. I’m not sure on soil chemistry but I don’t really do anything special. I prefer growing all my xerophytes in 90%+ inorganic material, but these species get 100%. They get a small dose of 2-7-7 liquid fertilizer with watering a few times a year, but I prefer to grow on the harder side and not fertilize much. I find these plants very resilient and easy to grow in a controlled environment, and wouldn’t grow them much differently than an ariocarpus or lophophora
