    Tobacco and pepper juice before harvest?

    Tobacco Mosaic Virus is incredibly stable and can survive long past being dried and packed into cigarettes (one of a few reasons tobacco shouldn't be consumed during cannabis gardening) As I understand it cannabis is quite susceptible to TMV. Also, most would advise never spraying any liquid...

    need a Magnifier

    I have a jewelers loupe and it is horrible. I also have 20/20 vision. Get the cheapo ten or twelve dollar handheld,illuminated microscope off the net (60x-100x) if you want to CLEARLY see trichromes. Go easy on the focus wheel, they strip out easy. IME the loupe pulls trichs just barely into...

    Eaing large amounts of shrooms.

    multiply wet wight by .08 to get a close approximate of dry weight. Psilocybe averages 92% h2o content. Psilocin averages 1.4-1.7% of total dry weight if I remember right. Wild differences expected in potency between indoor lab and outdoor wild.

    Horse shit... fresh or frozen??

    I think you might be better served reading Stamets "growing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms" (library) or familiarizing yourself with all of RogerRabbits notes (available en masse on other sites). It kind of sounds like you need to pick one educational resource/tek and read it all the way...

    Horse shit... fresh or frozen??

    dont ever handle fresh scat. assuming you're trying to use dung as myc food you need completely dry/seasoned dung. you'll never know what stage it's in if you take it now. yes, horse/cow dungs are some of the most innocuous, but you never know what disease/parasite that particular animal had...

    Looking for your Graphic Novel suggestions

    Sandman is another great classic being considered as well, forgot to mention. Also, I think its worth mentioning that Locke & Key is written by Joe Hill who just happens to be Stephen/Tabitha Kings' kid. Excellent writer.

    San Pedro

    San Pedro is easily propagated by taking at least a 2-3 inch cross section of a living SP cacti that is a thick around as possible. A piece taken like this looks like a star. Allow these pieces to dry out completely for 2-3 weeks in a warm place. Bury in sandy soil and begin a watering cycle...

    Seed savers exchange/

    Yeah, SSE is great and trustworthy IMO. High Mowing Seeds and Seeds of Change are both quite good as well. One of the best books to go into a gardening season feeling incredibly inspired is Barbara Kingsolver's non-fiction: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. Amazing count of her families experience...

    What are you planting in your garden 2013

    I like to select what tasted best to me while cooking the previous year. Right now some definite standouts are Delicata Squash and Watermelon Radish.

    HVAC Question. Tees and Wyes Interchangeable?

    All I can find is the tee will be slightly less fluid in a small system with high ventilation power such as mine. I think I'm good. I'll run it as post back. I'll be retrofitting the whole thing with correct parts after an upcoming move so I'll be able to compare. Would still appreciate any...

    HVAC Question. Tees and Wyes Interchangeable?

    Thats it. Sorry if this has been answered. Couldn't get any search results here or outside RIU. I want to split my 6" fresh air intake into 2 lines using the cheaper tee instead of the wye. I don't know anything about cavitation or fluid dynamics. If i keep all my ducts the same length will...

    Looking for your Graphic Novel suggestions

    I'm providing input on the setup of a graphic novels book club. This will be my second that I've helped select content for and I was curious to see what RIU's input might be. I personally have enjoyed The Invisibles (check my profile pic. this is a seven volume series written by Grant...

    Kratom, anyone use it?

    Description Mitragyna speciosa, kratom trees, usually grow to a height of 12–30 ft (3.7–9.1 m) tall and 15 ft (4.6 m) wide, although under the right conditions, certain species can reach up to 40–100 ft (12–30 m) in height. The stem is erect and branching. The leaves of...

    Crystal Meth

    First, thats CRANK not METH (clean meth is still the alien devil but crank is far more contaminated). If you find "easy" recipes for complicated chemistry you're just gonna end up some kind of fucked. Pick one.

    Is Salvia-D Evil?

    I have found very few shamanic uses for salvia. I have found little uses for any of the belladonna alkaloids. Through reading about this specific family (which includes Datura, another biter) it would seem that most of the belladonnas were used more for intoxication than spiritual quest...

    Help my Cactus guys .............

    heat will speed up growth quite a bit. general rule with most cacti. build a small enclosure or greenhouse around them to get the bulb heat to collect and rise towards 90-100. this will probably affect where you keep them. I regularly feed my cacti and jade any leftover fert'd water (veg...

    Kratom, anyone use it?

    I was using Z-Eclectic out of KS, but ever since he lost his merchant services (online CC purchase ability) it's too big a pain in the ass. If you're willing to jump through mailing in payment first he is awesome, he offers samplers and he ALWAYS throws in freebies. Now I use Herbstomp.com out...

    Kratom, anyone use it?

    Kratom (mitragynine speciosa) is a very interesting, albeit difficult to use, plant. It is important to understand that it acts as an agonist to the MU and NU opioid receptors despite having no opiate content. The effects are strain dependent with the potential of upbeat, slightly euphoric...
