I'm glad to see ya still growing sallys Doobs, I harvested all but one of mine last year and gave the last one to someone who neglected it to death :(
I did harvest a lifetime supply from my efforts last year and the year before, so I'm going to get into some cactus growing this year, thanks to a freakers ball prize :)
Keep up the good work with them, they are fun to watch grow!

I have been thinking of trying a outdoor salvia grow. The climate is about right for it where I live. I may have to get off my ass and order some clones before it becomes illegal.

I remember those pics reverend! Nice! Very very nice!

The nutes I got from my buddy was half a liter of some stuff called Terra Vega from a company called Canna. Says it's good for the veg/growing stage of any plant grown in soil. Sure seems to be from what I saw. As I said, I want to check out the similar www.generalhydroponics.com (probably flora nova, gonna be using a lot outside) nutrients on my vegetable garden this year and see what sort of results I can get. I think this Canna brand is for CANNAbis, but worked fine on the sallies as I was using it. I used 6ml per gallon of water used just about every watering unless they were cut back severly and had a slow growth period for a bit. I think I might like the GH better too with the extra micro nutrients they provide. There were limited amounts in this Terra stuff, but I think he told me they have other "formula's" for different apps including hydro/water grows.

I have no idea what that is.

Coleus is, as salvia, part of the mint family and is rumored to have psychoactive properties. I tested some leaves but no luck......yet. :eusa_thin

Very easy to do a cutting just cut and root in water transfer to dirt. However I'm sure there are better things than water out there. I got one in the mail a few years ago I think from Zen. The thing got held up in the mail for 3 weeks and when i got it, it was on the verge of death. It was wrapped in a wet towel and it was all rooted out. All i had was one leaf with a trace of green. I planted it and about 2 weeks later I noticed some new growth. The thing suvived and got too tall to I cut it up into 2 more cuttings which also grew. I never got into the salvia stuff but I love plants. Now it sits at my parents in among the ferns and gardenias LOL. My parents have no Idea they just like the big green foliage.:lol:

Has anyone got one to flower? I've grown lots of Sally D. and have yet to see one flower in real life. Thought maybe because I live in a climate where they only get a few months outside....anyone?

Cloning salvia is really easy, cut the stalk, leave a few leaf sets on top, clean them off the bottom, stick it in some water in a darkish glass/bottle/etc (roots like darkness more, but will root fine in clear glass if all you have), and change the water every day or two so it does not get slimey/stale/out of o2. In a week or two, just from in-direct window like, you should have roots forming. Plant them when they get going, and let em go.

They can wilt when first cut, so a little humidity tent/bag can help for the first day.


The 1st pic is some roots about to pop out of one of those big stalks, and 2 pics of 2 old tops I had cut off and just tossed into some water for the hell of it. They rooted. :) heh Haven't been planted.

When I got my cutting originally they were just two stalks with tiny tiny leaves left on them... I got one to take, and went from there. ;) Pretty sad looking when I got them, but ddd's green thumb helped em survive. ;) heh

Great pics as allways doobsters, But, Coleus is a lesser known, drug to get high on, Its A common garden plant (color full red green fleshy leaves related to Salvia lives in same climate). Need a whole plant to have a mild trip though.

Ive been absent to long to have awnserd what it was. Long story!

cheers

I have offered up 4 salvid.d cuttings with roots to the March Madness Raffle..


These are some pics of them... 3 large ones, 2 smaller ones (not so small) for 4 offerings in total. Hippie will notify me of where they have to go so they don't get damaged with multiple shippings. They will be sent US Priority Mail (2-3 days). I will not ship these to a PO Box so they sit there and die though, and must be in the US when I ship them to. Only 2 stipulations. :) hehehe


Want in on the raffle? Go get a ticket!!! Show Me The Raffle!

Want to make sure I understand this. I just bid on a cutting on ebay.

Just cut from a branch off of the main stem, clean it, and put it in water?

Sounds too easy. Hope I get it right. I have a tendancy of screwing up the easiest things.....

[susu]

yab that easy it is as u see @#32
i put the cutting in a glass with not more than 5cm of water and put a plastig bag over it to keep humidy high

[hiimt0ny]

man i need to find a salvia cutting sometime.... ill have to start looking.
