Upon reading this thread I felt compelled to be a wet blanket since nobody else is saying anything.
Many, if not all of these ebay vendors are taking these seeds from their indigenous environment most likely with no permits. Also I have never heard of any of these Indonesian vendors actually...

So i went to my parents house Christmas eve. having one of the best ever watching my son open up his new gifts (and daddy getting his new tool set) :)
I was just getting ready to sink my teeth into my mothers PRIME prime rib and i get a call from the next door neighbors telling me that my...
Hi all,
I finally got around to setting up the new grow rack I've been planning for months. Thank you again to everyone who gave me their input.
Once the semester starts and I settle back into the teaching groove, I'll post a more detailed build journal. For now, I'll just leave you with a...
So I have a plant rack set up in my apartment. It has the standard 4' wide T5/8s, wireframe shelf, with the plants being about 4-8" away from the lights. (Smallest pots are 8" away, my neps gets closer to 2-4ish.
All sides of the rack including top and bottom are covered in tinfoil to...
Today was an awesome day be cause I got plants in the mail from trades! Here are some of my new babies..
H. sp. Foothills Testigos, in a blanket of Sphagnum mosses
(for humidity's sake for acclimation, and for rooting)
Darlingtonia californica
..and potted up. It's a mess in there now...
For a couple of years since they were given to me I have been struggling with keeping my D. capensis wet, but not too wet. The main problem has been that the house is heated with wood heat. It evaporated their small dishes of water in no time flat.
Finally, I came up with this solution and it...
Well, I need your expertise everyone.
So, with the plasma light out of the question ( http://ocps.proboards.com/index.cgi?boar....ead=3813&page=1 ), as it doesn't have much bang for the buck, I'll be going with MH instead (I think...).
Now, I come forth humbly with questions for all you...
Hey guys. Here's a few pics for Spring of some of my indoor plants - mostly the results of seeds and pullings.
Hope you like em. :)
A few of the Sarr seedlings...various hybrids - Thank you Travis/Pyro and Andy/adnedarn!!!

This one's still holding his security...
I have a bunch of LL nep seedlings and needed a place that was closer to LL conditions to grow them out for the winter.
I had a spare 4ft long 55g tank and decided to set it up.
There is a 4ft t8 shoplight with 1 daylight 6500k and 1 sunshine 5000k bulb for lighting.
water in the bottom for...
I'm sure you all have better setups and have seen much better, but I'm pretty excited about what I've got so far.
It's a 6' bookshelf with mostly books & dvds, but one shelf I've dedicated to my VFTs. I bought a emergency blanket and cut it to fit inside the shelf to help boost some of the...
Ridi is back! **pictures working!!**
well all, sorry for being gone during the winter. I poked around here and there when I could, but thanks to computer problems, financial problems, and work I basically took a break from the interwebs. Buuuut now I am back, and back with stories to tell, and...
These actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced at church services:
Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not
worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands...
I have a 20 gallon tank with a 26 watt compact floro daylight bulb and a fan for rooting cuttings.
I use a 65-45% pearlite and LFS mix with nep stems cut and dipped in rootone.
I found 100% pearlite to produce leaves quick but took a long time to make roots.
100% LFS made great roots but took...
Hi all -
I'm new to the forum (see my introduction today in the intro thread), but a fairly experienced CP grower - mostly Sarracenia. I built a 12' x 4' x 2' deep outdoor bog this past spring just south of Pittsburgh PA, and it is currently experiencing its first PA winter under a layer of...
A couple days ago, the same day I got all of my new plants, my mom came home with a kitten in her arms. His name is Cooper and he's 9 weeks old. He likes to run around alot and nibble on my finger. He also likes this really soft warm blanket, I guess he thinks of it as his mom. Yesterday we...
I live in a small Wisconsin town that shouldn't be experiencing this. Okay, so, tonight it rained, and on top of that about 5 minutes ago I was going to go give my dog some water (she sleeps in my room on her doggy bed, it was an older used doggy bed but I made it funk by putting an old blanket...
The Europeans make really nice terrariums.
I care nothing for aesthetics.
My gods are Frugality, Miserness, and Spendthrift.
My number one concern is cost, which is why I embarked on attempting to build a cheap yet sufficiently large chamber. My old one was way too small and crappy. It was...
howdy everyone... long time no see! i had to take a break from the interwebs and liufe to move ahead in my workplace, but i have not forgotten about you all or my plants!
Today though, i had a pretty big freak-out. I woke up, got ready for work, turned my car on, and realized there was a...
Kerala is on the southernmost tip of India. Kerala, the land of Ayurveda Kerala's equable climate, natural abundance of forests (with a wealth of herbs and medicinal plants), and the cool monsoon season (June - November) are best suited for Ayurveda's curative and restorative packages.
