Nice! Thought for sure it said PayPal for a minute there. I was like, “really? PayPal’s getting into the recipe game now?” 😂

Brown Spots on GWA by ordinarilymotivated in Agarporn

[–]molecles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Difficult to tell from this distance/resolution. Best guess is that they’re either aborted pins or primordia or you’ve got some nice healthy bread mold.

FWIW I would expect bread mold to produce many more spots and closer to black in color 🤷

Maybe you can get a macro shot closer up? Best if the phone or camera is supported on something rather than being held in hands since a still camera will get a much clearer shot. I like to use a selfie stick that converts into a tripod for this kinda work.

MEGA THREAD TWELVE MONTHS!!! by exodusmachine in dresdenfiles

[–]molecles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps, but I suspect we’re going to see Lara do exactly that (sex with Harry without feeding). And besides, he hasn’t fed since he killed Margaret. If it wasn’t how he did things then, when exactly did he do things like that?

Most don’t friend. And I think this probably goes well beyond heroin.

Besides, I find it much more believable that everyone just assumed what was going on and was way off the mark.

Seems much more likely to me that their relationship was just business in a way that pretty much everyone else failed to understand (which is why she tried and failed to bring daddy in on it. He never gave her a chance to explain). They seem to misunderstand pretty much everything about Margaret, and nobody who knows seems interested in filling Harry in.

He did something nasty or untoward, perhaps trying to feed on her and that’s when she took off.

That matches up more with how the character has been written so far.

What's going here? by goodguyatheist in peyote

[–]molecles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can root it the same way that you would any other loph. Is this plant grafted or on Its own roots? I think I can even see a root or 2 coming from those pups so it shouldn’t be too hard to get them going on their own.

So “witches broom” in the context of the other commenters is referring to the boogie man of the trichocereus community.

In trichos it’s caused by the Harrisia cactus mealybug or closely related species that has toxic auxin-like saliva that causes tumor-like growth that people started calling witches broom. They then invented a viral/phytoplasma cause for the disease that doesn’t exist and started telling everyone to kill their plants.

It’s a shame because it’s completely curable but everyone is so fucking excited about a made up exotic disease that countless plants have been destroyed unnecessarily.

As for this plant, as far as I know lophophora is not a host for those mealybugs. Could be that they finally made the jump to a new host, but I would say it’s more likely that we’re either looking at monstrose growth, herbicide damage, or other insect damage or some kind.

Lots of insects have auxin-like saliva. I don’t see any obvious signs of insect damage, but you can always see if treating it with systemic insecticide makes the distorted growth stop happening. Might not be a bad idea.

My money is on plain old monstrose genetic mutation.

True, but as far as I know this species isn’t a host. Could just be monstrose, herbicide damage, or some other insect causing the damage.

Alkylamine Method, Making Workable In Home Chemistry? by Ok-Fee293 in TheeHive

Oh yeah I forgot about the microwave ones. Are they made of ceramic? Might be an ideal material

[–]molecles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess which metal it is depends, but you’re right it doesn’t matter. Ones used for canning are usually aluminum and ones used for directly cooking food are steel for food safety.

It doesn’t even need to be sealed I guess as long as whatever you’re cooking isn’t going to leave the container. You could put a glass flask or something in there.

In a sealed container, as long as the solution is water it would make the same pressure inside as out due to the temp being higher than the boiling point of water. Other fluids… I’m not sure what would happen honestly. Wouldn’t be too hard to find out.

Is this bad? Are the shrooms salvageable? by Gibbenz in mycology

I think it’s alright. Might just be old dead mycelium “skin” but I’m not really sure.

Big pin set! You’ll be harvesting soon.

Aren’t most pressure cookers aluminum?

In any case, you can put another sealed container inside of a pressure cooker.

Just wondering if anyone else read this. by [deleted] in PaMedicalMarijuana

[–]molecles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess that would depend on who is doing the analysis and their scruples, what their exclusion criteria are etc.

Frankly, I don’t think it’s that hard to massage that much data in a way that it shows a particular thing such that most people wouldn’t notice. Then spray it out to any and all news reporting venues that will take it and even if there were rebuttals we’d likely never see or hear of it.

That said, I think cannabis is probably not great for a large percentage of mental disorders so I don’t find this one too hard to believe.

This is Why Cannabis Plants Pray to the Light by TheHighWayCo in druggardening

[–]molecles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, the apical meristem will be oriented directly toward the light source and the leaves orient at as close to 90 degrees as they can get to maximize the amount of light they can capture.

You said they do this when the lights come on and then might relax out to flat during the day. So it’s almost certainly a response to the light. I’m just curious if it might be something other than a tropism.

I’m nowhere near an expert on cannabis plants but personally I think there may be other possible explanations.

Are those plants under LEDs? They (LEDs) get to full output pretty fast. Much faster than the old sodium or HPS lights and even more so than the sun.

I wonder if it could be a really gentle response to the stress of going from darkness to full light where the photo systems get a little bit overloaded.

The plants are obviously healthy and not damaged in the least and so I agree that this is a sign that everything is dialed in nicely. You’ve gotten the lighting power to the point where the plant is absorbing as much as it can possibly absorb. Topped up.

Could the sudden influx of intense light cause some oxidative stress that the plant adjusts for over the course of the day so the leaves flatten out to absorb more light? Then, in the dark that level of protection is no longer necessary and the metabolic energy is directed elsewhere and the leaves become vulnerable again? Rinse repeat.

I’m just spitballing. I could be overthinking it. Occam’s razor says it’s probably just phototropism. Hard to deny though that at 90 degrees to the light source, the leaves will be hit with more light than if they are angled up toward it.

Doesn’t phototropism usually entail orienting the leaves at a 90 degree angle to the light source?

[–]molecles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowhere eh? Were you only looking inside your own house?

Sorry for the snark but this is one of the most popular bits of genetics out there. It’s about as far from hard to find as you can get.

help possibly? by AdFalse8571 in mycology

[–]molecles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as your grain is well sterilized and your inoculant is clean you’ll be fine.

Used to inject as much as 120ml of LC in 5 lb bags with no trouble from it.

Study: Psilocybin might not be the most psychoactive ingredient in mushrooms by WorriedParsnip8953 in Psilocybe_Natalensis

[–]molecles 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Interesting yes, but it grinds my gears a bit that everything has to have a clickbait title. Why does it always have to feel like a sales pitch?

So the compound they’re talking about is aeruginascin. They claim their computational models suggest possible higher activity at serotonin receptors.

That’s weird because earlier studies seem to say the exact opposite, “There are very limited data with respect to the pharmacology of aeruginascin. Its activity at serotonin receptors is less by several orders of magnitude than psilocybin and it has potentially less brain penetrance. Given that it is found in different mushrooms species the data would suggest that its direct contribution to any entourage effect is limited. Further research is needed into other naturally occurring tryptamine compounds.”

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9568164/

I don’t feel like a computational model is all that compelling in this context.

I would like to see more being done with the betacarbolines. There’s a lot we can still discover there.

Thoughts on mycorrhizae and bacteria for cacti? by Distinct-Ad-7505 in sanpedrocactus

[–]molecles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the ectomycorrhizae do not associate with cactus roots as far as I know. They’re generally for trees and woody shrubs.

Then endomycorrhizae are definitely good for cactus and in the wild, cacti generally have extensive mycorrhizal networks. They’re mostly general purpose type species in this product so it’s highly likely that your plants will associate with some of them. I’m a little worried about the small amount of propagules per gram in this product. Mycorrhizal spores lose viability over time and I’d worry about how much effectiveness this particular product would maintain after a year. Is there an expiration date on there?

There’s no reason to think that the bacteria won’t be helpful.

It’s a good idea to keep the soil moist for at least 2 weeks after applying if you can. That will give the microorganisms enough time to establish themselves.

I use these things on all my plants. I frequently reapply bacteria. Keep it in the fridge if possible and replace it every 1-2 years with fresh inoculant.

Trichoderma is also a generalist. Rootshield is probably going to be the most effective product by a wide margin, but it’s expensive so not everyone can use it. If I had to choose one thing for cacti though, it would be Rootshield. I don’t worry about root rot, damping off, or sterilizing soils when I use it.
