Heloo
Im just bored so i thought id help someone with this guide :mrgreen:

1.WATERING

if you remember only one thing about growing salvia divinorum remember
this: Dont overwater!
depending on its situation it may need watering daily or even monthly!

How do i know my plant needs watering?

put the tip of your finger in the compost. if it feels cold (due to the moisture)
dont water, however if it feels dry to the touch, water sparingly.

2.FEEDING

Feeding is not neccecary but it sure does give your plants a bit of a boost!
I feed by adding a few mls of concentrated miracle grow and a similar amount of maxicrop seaweed extract to a hand held sprayer then apply as a foilar feed.

3.LIGHT

Light is a critical factor, look for somewhere bright but not scorchingly hot
and try it there. If its happy there GREAT! If its not try somewhere else until you find a good place.
you could also grow it under grow lights, i find that 1 20W cfl is enough but thats up to you. just make sure there is lots of ventilation and it dosent get to hot. the ideal temp is between 15C and 20C or 60F and 70F

4.PROPAGATION

1.Take a cutting just below a pair of leaves. it be anywhere between 3 and 8 cm but I find that 6cm Is best
2.dip it in rooting gel or powder and carfully stick it in your growing media

3.Keep the humidity high by
A) Misting regularly
B)Placing the pot in a clear plastic bag or cover with a clear seed tray
and put it in a propagator.

5.Conclusion

Salvia divinorum is an unusual and fascinating plant. While it is easy to grow, Growing it well Is more of a challenge! :lol:

:peace:

You could flower if you want but there is no increase in potency or anything
people only flower to get seeds.
if you want to flower make the light cycle less than 10 hours per 24 and it will flower but I keep it at 18/6 to keep it in veg.
you get more leaves :mrgreen:

you can take leaves of anytime you want but just make sure the plant is big/healthy enough to replace them.

This is how I harvest:
after you harvest dry in a dark ventilated place until crumbly,
this is optional but take out the big leafy stem thing if you want.
And that is basically it but i prefer to cure mine,
just put the leaves in jars and air out once a day and do it for at least 2 weeks then just leave them in the jar and when you want to smoke just take them out and smoke them.
they are alot nicer tasting and less harsh whan you cure!
kinda like marujiana :blsmoke:

and is the buzz the smae as shop bought stuff? i did a post on my salvia experience with 10x exract, its scary stuff!

yeah buzz is the same but you dont really trip on just leaves you gotta make an extract.
the leaves do give a buzz but not hallucinogenic or nothing

when you smoke the leaves the buzz is
muscle relaxing
things look strange or unreal but no hallucinations
you feel at one with yourself and nature especially if you are smoking outside

i would post an extraction guide but im too lazy lol!

but i quite like triping on salvia every once in a while, but the leaves are nice to do more regularly.

nice wee guide smoked salvia x25 was crasy ass stuff .. words just dont describe the trip lol question, were can ya pick up salvia seeds from ????

salvia seeds are very rare and are hardly viable.
I would advise just to get a few cuttings and if you want seeds make them yourself.the DIY ones are about 1-7% viable so its not much chance in getting a plant. you would be lucky if you cot 30 seeds per plant.
but if you insist on seeds the only place i know is sagewisdom.org sometimes has them in stock but i think there quite expensive but im not sure.
definately dont buy of ebay because they are never the real deal.


:peace:

yeah thats a fine place to buy them from.
look on ebay sometimes theres a good deal on one, but as i said dont buy seeds from there.
I bought my first ones of ebay and one from everyonedoesit.com.
hope ive helped :bigjoint:

Oh thats really good, cause I was thinking it was gunna taste like shit. That was my only problem with salvia, when I first smoked it I had the worst taste in my mouth that a whole box of froot loops didn't conqeur.

the best way to cut the taste i've found it to but a bed of crushed mint in the bowl before you load the salvia. chocolate mint works the best IMO
