well.. the susbtrate is DEFINETLY not agar. i told you, its white/transparent. right now i have only 2 more dishes partially colonized with white mycelium. the other 2 are contaminated with that brown thing.. which keeps developing. i dont have a magnifing glass. Hey, at some point, when i was...

well i guess the medium was for bacterias.. since i got it from a hospital's laboratory. And maybe that's why the mycelium stopped growing too, right?

first of all... let me stop laughing my ass out at your signature. GENIUS. aahahaha now. i got the agar from a hostpial's laboratory. it is WHITE, not yellow. i didnt prepare it myself. i am keeping it at 26 degrees Celsius. it's liek 1 month old now... and in 2 of the 4 dishes some...

So i used thoe petri dishes with agar in them.. to create some mycelium, as i had really little spores quantity left in my syringe after the my first attempt to grow shrooms. (turned to be a disaster.. anyway). The mycelium appeared in the dishes after just about 24 hours.. then it kept...

umm no, actually, i 'get' them already made :D from a laboratory.. :P i... know the right people :D anyway. just got new ones. pus some drops of spores on them. now im waiting to see what's happening. 8)

but probably the quantity will be less.

:) i dont know about that, but probably yeah. they will stronger and healthier. dont worry, im sure they'll be fine.

:lol: indeed

Indeed. the agar dishes melted :| I opened the pressure cooker, and instead of agar dishes, there were 3 plastic balls. :( I'll get new dishes.. and won't sterilize them. Hope they will be already enough sterile.

I have 3 agar plates.. with solid medium. Do you think i can sterilize it in the pressure cooker? I've seen a movie where it says that you have to sterilize the agar whil it is LIQUID. but my agar is solid.. what do you think? Will the agar still be fine?

It's going pretty well. Only 3 out of the 6 sprouted seeds came out the soil :( But those 3 are developing REALLY well. I think you hurried up with planting them in the big pots.. The idea is to keep the plant for 3-4 weeks in a small pot (10 cm high), so that the root reaches the base of the...

hehe. a bit late, but thanks for the reply :) I already put the sprouted seeds in the soil. So there's nothing more i can do. And i remembered another great quote about weed: "Why do you think it's called WEED? because it grows EVERYWHERE" hehe :) May the Weed Spirit be with me! BooOom!

I had 6 seeds to germinate, using the classic method (i put them between 2 sheets of wet paper towel for 3 days, at a constant 27 degrees temeperature). After 3 days, the've sprouted uneven. I mean, some have really lonh roots, others have just like half a centimeter root. Should i plant the...

I'll take that as positive :D

So.. anyone here willing to vouch for Goran? I feel a bit weird to give out my adress to an unkown nice guy from a forum :P

That would be cool :) For free, i believe? But i've heard peyote grows REALLY slow :-/ after how many years can i eat a peyote for a decent trip?

*sigh* Ok, guys, thanks.

I was wondering if anyone knows if this is a San Pedro or any other mescaline-containing cactus. Thanks!

thanks skoeip for the link. The cacti from the far right is: "Opuntia leucotricha - Arborescent prickly pear (other common names: Aaron’s beard cactus, semaphore cactus, Duraznillo blanco, Nopal blanco); a tree-like cactus, growing up to 5 m tall, occurring in the mountains of central Mexico."...

thanks for your quick answer. I found that site you recommended me before posting this (i made some research on this forum before joining in, and i found that site too). The thing is that i don't know how to identify the cacti species i own. I mean.. there are sooo many. And usually the species...
