Where did you find those??? Seeds or cuttings?

[cheech]

very nice, man. you're doing something right!!

Find them? They are mine... orig came from cuttings.

[motograter]

Thats what I meant, I haven't been able to find any seeds. Not willing to risk damaging the plant by getting a cutting shipped... Good work!

[doobydoobydoo]

Do more research / searching... :) hehe Salvia.d is not known for producing viable seeds. I've said this many times here. :) Cuttings are the way it is shared/propagated. Hopefully this summer, if salvia is still pretty much legal, I will try to share some cuttings to members here.

oOOOHH OOOH pick me pick me! :D

Salvia is the only plant I don't have that I plan to grow. I would love to give some cuttings a good home.

:cacti:

[doobydoobydoo]

Stay tuned... :)

[Landogarner]

Great pics btw. Those are some healthy looking cuttings.:eusa_clap

Doob has a green thumb and a blue thumb for sure. Doob is right, seed grown salvia are very very rare and they produce frail specimens. Cuttings are the way to go. Doob you da man!

[catfish]

Rocketman is correct, the seed-grown stock is very sensitive and not at all hardy, the way H-W's or Blossers are.
Had a few years back, and they didn't last long...not to say that I didn't try, but they just wouldn't acclimatize the way my others did.

i was very curious about the quid method. one day if i am able to grow i will try....:bow:

[rocketman]

The first thing i noticed about chewing a quid was the side of my face the quid was on went numb. I felt stoned for about an hour as i chewed, similar to a mj buzz in some ways....different in others. I used an alcohol based mouthwash to potentiate the effects is also worth mentioning. It is nowhere near as intense as smoking the leaf, but still has pleasant effects. Sally that ive chewed, (blosser strain) was very very bitter......that seems a common theme with many entheogens.

Catfish :) welcome man, and your knowledge is always appreciated.

[vrooota]

[mycobri]

Thanks. Those plants look very healthy ddd, nice job. I might get a live plant from bbb.

looks like you're doing something right.
care to give details on environment, soil mix, nutes, light, etc. ?

Sure.

They were sitting in 2qt pots in a south facing window at room temp/humidity. Ranges from about 60f - 70f and from like 20% - 75% humidity. Soil was just some potting soil, Shultz maybe, or Scotts.. Dunno. Nothing special really, mainly just peat moss and pearlite. :)

Now, as for nutes, I was using Peter's and Miracle Grow. They are ... eh, so so... I got some of these liquid nutes from a friend and used them mainly instead. The difference, is/was amazing. They seem to suck/absorb them so much better and easier, and the leaves don't seem to have that crackly salted dry look I think that gets caused from the salty nutes in the dry ferts like peter's and miracle grow. Needless to say, I'm going to be checking out some of those GH liquid nutes on my vegetables this year and hope I can grow a 100lb tomato or something. heh

I would not water them until the soil was almost crackin dry. Really let them dry out well, but too much, and the leaves begin to wilt, try to water just b4 this point. Enough air, but not lack of water to wilt the plant. They will grow in a really damp soil, but won't get the oxygen to the roots they need to really grow quickly and make large leaves.

But the nutes though, I think I'm really shifting from these salt based ferts to some liquid stuff. Not organic or anything, but man oh man, shocking the difference they made. The dry salt based stuff seems to build up in the soil faster and cause problems also, plus it's harder for the plant to absorb.

They were cut back once too prior to this harvesting. Quick growing, esp for those small pots. The root balls in them were not even that severe when dumped out. They were about, hmm 6 months old when the clones were planted.

Are they any harder than doing a Coleus cutting?
I can Do cuttings from AV's VFT's so im sure i am able to do a cutting from that...
