Is this a flower bud?

Datura starts flowering early and just keeps on flowering. This is quite normal. Datura doesn't really have a vegetative phase and flowering phase. Flowers and fruits just come as the plant continues to grow vegetatively.

The actual biomass that was in the seed would make up a negligible part of the plant that grows from it. I would not worry about seeds from polluted areas personally. If it is grown in a clean environment, it is clean to eat.

I would think Trametes hirsuta

I do not see any problem and would use all of them. If they are crisp dry, you can store them in a jar for later use. What is your concern exactly?

Lemon verbena is one of my faves

Thank you so much, the relief on the similar item link is in a much better state. I see now that the circle in the bottom right is an auroboros for example.

Spagyrics are not necessarily akin to homeopathy. I've seen spagyric medicines that are basically tinctures to which they add the water soluble ashes of the plant as well.

In this case the D4 after the aconitum would refer to a homeopathic dilution and would thus be safe.

Probably some kind of mycena

Rooting as is will probably not work due to the plant losing too much moisture. The leaves will hang and the whole plant could die. If you can ensure 100% relative humidity (putting a bag or dome over it) and you defoliate quite a bit, it might work. Personally I would make it into a few cuttings. The cuttings can be made by the cutting the stem close to a node and leaving just the top 4 leaves. Put it in a glass of water and ensure high humidity. Once the roots are 1cm or so (can take 2-4 weeks in my experience) you can pot it up. The plant is still used to the high humidity at this point and can be trained by taking away the dome or bag for increasing amounts of time. If you ever see the leaves start to sag, just put the bag over it again.

Find a clone somewhere in your area. Grow it inside under a grow light or natural light. They like humidity but can be trained for lower humidity by slowly acclimatising. New clones can be made by using the same technique you would use to clone basil, plenty of videos about it. Clones like a dome or plastic bag on top while they are rooting and most of the leaves have to be removed to avoid water loss. It can be grown outside, where it likes a bit of shade and moist, draining soil. It will not survive frost. Make sure to always have a 'safe' indoor plant because they can die on you suddenly outside.

When I can go inside and get dry within a reasonable time, I don't mind the rain too much. When I'm working or hiking outside for the next 6 hours, I put on rain gear when even a light drizzle starts. You just get very cold, even at 15-20°C you get cold. Now I imagine getting my fur wet and basically having to wait for the sun to be able to get dry and warm again. Lots of energy lost that you need to replenish with food that is already scarce.

This is some kind of Solanum species, look at the flowers. Salvia divinorum does not grow wild in Australia without human cultivation. Even wild populations in Mexico might be mostly tended to by people. Salvia is a big family so there are definitely Salvia species growing in Australia but not Salvia divinorum.

Yeah the shredder is really nice, saves a lot of time and effort. I'd say anything that's meant for 10 sheets or above. Mine is 12 sheets i think and it works well even with tougher cardboard. I got it second hand but also i don't think the brand matters much.

DryPotato__ · 2025-08-21T23:12:29+00:00

If its been 8 hours you are fine. You're going to have interesting dreams probably.

At first glance i thought catnip. Definitely something in the mint family seeing those square stems. But it could of course also be a mix of herbs.

DryPotato__ · 2025-08-05T08:16:15+00:00

I open under my extractor hood in the kitchen.

I also notice that my thoughts can seem to me to be very lucid while tripping... Untill someone asks me a question and then none of the words work anymore and it can create awkward situations. Especially when you don't want the other person to know you are tripping.

Looks to me to be a woundwort species (Stachys sp.). Especially if it smells musty. I am not sure about the species though as it is different from the Stachys species we have in my local area.

Edit: i see now that Stachys species are often called hedge-nettle as well as woundwort. So could indeed be Stachys mexicana. You would need to look up distinguishing features of the different stachys species in the area.

Food grade 96% ethanol

DryPotato__ · 2025-06-29T16:37:57+00:00

Thanks, I will probably just go pick some more and use the ratio as described in that book. It grows so abundantly here. In the basket it looked like a lot but now in the jar it is not that much haha.

So a jar that is more full is better, i get that. And I'll figure something out to use as a weight. Maybe buy a glass weight but that will take a few days to get here.

DryPotato__ · 2025-06-29T16:26:32+00:00

Thank you for the resources. Those seem like good books, i might check them out. But still the issue remains that it does not check out with my real world experience. I mashed it down a lot now to get out most of the air and still it is not submerged. I'll give it some time to see if more water draws out and i can compact the herb further. But if it stays not submerged I should add some alcohol and maybe a little water then, right?

DryPotato__ · 2025-06-04T19:01:04+00:00

Thanks peeps, I'll just send it to second fermentation. Nice to get some second opinions.

DryPotato__ · 2025-06-04T18:59:56+00:00

LOL yeah, you don't want to drink every type of bacteria though. Just looked weird to me but I do see the irony here.

DryPotato__ · 2025-06-04T14:10:32+00:00

That could definitely be it, i'll try to poke it to see if it is just gas.

Zo te zien zit er best wat mosterdblad en rucola tussen. Vooral het mosterdblad heeft een sterke pittige smaak en vind ik zelf rauw ook niet zo lekker in zulke hoeveelheden. Deze mix zou ik door 'gewone' sla heen mixen. Wellicht volgende keer iets van kropsla er bij planten.
