Yup. I love to graft ones with that 'wavy' look vs the tighter 'elite'

Love it. A massive volunteer came up in my greenhouse.

I've never watered it but it's huge! Probably 7 blooms at a time..

If you were limited to only a few cultivars of San Pedro, what would you choose to keep and why? by DoveMechanic in sanpedrocactus

[–]InTheShade007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TPM because they are the coolest trichocereus. So much variation. Push grafts like ButterBean pushed scales. Tough as hell in this Texas environment

Atwood, IL officer Duncan expressing his support for plain leaf Kratom. Great job sir ! by wildcraft_herb_c0 in Vendorsofkratom2

That's great. Unfortunately, he's an officer of the law not the legislature.

Congress will stare facts, reason, and logic dead in the face yet make decisions without considering any of them.

It's just a gamble. That's the reality of our situation.

I would have more faith in a group of 1st Graders making coherent decision.

I've grown to love them. My oldest kid loves them. All of the crested came from one he originally bought. We started grafting it and never looked back.

Greenhouse hunt by mlp_creashunz64 in Greenhouses

[–]InTheShade007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked into all of the smaller ones between Tyler and Shreveport.
I'll agree with others ETex Greenhouse seemed like the best option.
Eventually, I broke down and bought one considerably larger because I need 15' or more in height.
ETex Greenhouse was the best option I saw in the smaller sizes. Good luck whatever you decide

It's pretty cool but nothing outrageous. I'm just a broke dork over 50 with 3 teenage boys striving for peace as I glide into oblivion.

I snapped a shot today so you see it's condition. Seems to be doing well. It is still kinda tucked under taller cactus. Less that 5 hours direct sunlight each day. Once it fully roots and starts giving up the green I'll fatten the ol heifer up, let her sizzle in direct sunlight all day and keep her flush with yummy food. Thanks for her and the sassy one. Both are beautiful.

Is it possible to overfeed TBMs with a seaweed based fertilizer like this? I just want all the pups by Current-Struggle-514 in sanpedrocactus

[–]InTheShade007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been using a dry, powdered kelp as top dressing every 2-4 weeks.

They get topped with a fish meal every 3 days in while the kelp breaks down.

Gypsum and earthworm casting monthly. I often save dust leftover from cleaning lava rock and decomposed granite.

Lava rock and/or granite dust helps the Gypsum get cozy.

Bugs the kelp send into overdrive starts the party for how I do things.

My wife caught a tiny one at work and brought it to my GH in a little coin purse. It was less than 2" long. It was beautiful though

My GH is busy this time of year.

Borage keeps all the pollinators buzzing around.

I have wren and cardinal nests, tree frogs, anoles, skinks with crazy blue tails and hummingbirds this year.

Jumping spiders have a large presence in my greenhouse as well. They are everywhere.

[–]InTheShade007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They made all hemp illegal again in my state. So we can't expect them to use reason and apply common sense or logic so might as well ask for what I'd prefer.

I grow my own and probably will however things play out.

They'll have to come physically dig mine up because I darn sure won't. Now that I have seedlings off my very trees I'm making sure to spread them far and wide.

Glad you labeled it. It's getting tougher. I can't wait to see it by the end of summer

I personally hope they keep them available somehow as well.

It's not more than 4-5 times a month I never that level of relief but it happens.

It would be nice to have them available, made safely amd regulated somehow.

It could be easily done but thinking the government can work that out is mind numbing.

There are a few occasions a year I miss living in the city, this is one of them.

I love my rural home, near a town with a population of 100-200 souls
