“After years of heartfelt requests for a Northern Lights strain, Sagarmatha has engineered a superior version of
the NL legend. NL#9 delivers the finest qualities expected from that variety: a short plant with a voracious
stone and minimal smell. The flowering time is acceptable and fat chunky nugs can be expected. Fantastic for
gardens where smell is an unfavorable factor. Also fine for persons who desire a heavy, lethargic stone. I wanted to "cube" Princess but add a little beef to her branches because the buds were always too heavy at
harvest and branches needed staking to keep from flopping over. I crossed my Marijuana Cannabis Seeds ShivaSkunk
cbay female with one of

crossed to Princess, creating "P.50" (using a

genes in the cross).

In the placebo group, there were only 10 instances of stomachache, but also 118 instances of nausea and 78 of abdominal pain. This is not inconsistent with the very few side effects other studies have reported by those taking 5-HTP. These results may be explained by 5-HTP's ability to reduce hypersensitivity to pain. Moreover, in the study, eosinophilia (elevation of the special white blood cells associated with inflammation) was not reported in the 5-HTP group; in the control group, there was one case.

I created a 'goblet' effect outwards around the top of the wire-tube, and this stopped the damage. Having been eaten back to about 18" in early
July, the plants reached about 6' by week-1 Oct. During the whole summer, there was no single week that they
were not rained on VERY heavily, and for the last month of their lives they were in perpetual cloud/100%
moisture. Only one plant showed any signs of mold (and this one showed only small patches)- which I was
extremely pleased with. The plants build up alkaloids during dry seasons
and draw upon them for growth when the rains come. If the plants are harvested
during or after a wet spell, the alkaloid content may have dropped below 50

alkaloids.
When harvesting peyote, many people uproot the entire plant. This is

cleanly decapitated slightly above ground level. When the roots are left intact
new buds will form where the old was removed. These will eventually develop
into full-size buttons which may be harvested as before. Faulty harvesting

presence of several phenolic alkaloids peyote cacti do not spoil easily and may
be kept in their fresh form for several weeks after harvesting. If they are to be

so they are only about 26" high not including the rockwool. I get lots of various size buds that are pointy on
top when fully mature, with a long top branch of buds about a 18” long that you could call a spread-out cola.
One plant I pruned in veg. Toped at the 4th node than again a week later. It created 4 main colas with only 4
or 5 side branches.. It is just about ready. It will be less than 30” mature (not bent at all) and very compact

to be a master at controlling the growth patterns. But if you know how, you could get (4) four cola Super Silver

don’t know why. containing this alkaloid is not difficult to
perform and is perhaps one of the most rewarding alchemical processes that one
can attempt. The chemicals required for this process are readily available and
their purchase arouses no suspicion or interest on the part of Government
agencies. The equipment employed is not expensive or particularly complicated
or can be constructed very easily from ordinary household items. The entire
process can be carried out in any kitchen in the matter of hours by following the
instructions below and in the final stages one can verify the success of the
procedure by actually watching the crystals of mescaline precipitate in the
solution. One kilo (2.2 lbs) of dried peyote buttons may yield between 10 and 60
grams of pure white needle crystals of mescaline depending on the potency of
the plants used. On average the yield is about 20 grams. The usual underground
price of a kilo of dried peyote ranges between $125 and $250 (25 to 50 cents per
button). From indians in the southwestern USA the price is closer to $50 (10
cents per button). The street price for a gram of pure mescaline is $20 to $30 - if
one is lucky enough to find it. One can obtain from a kilo of dried peyote $200 to
$1200 worth of mescaline. If San Pedro is employed on may anticipate a yield of
3 to 12 grams of mescaline per kilo of dried cactus. One can legally purchase a
kilo of dried San Pedro for $5 to $10 and from it extract $60 to $250 worth of pure
mescaline.
Grind a kilo of the dried cactus, place this in a large pressure cooker, cover with
distilled water, and boil for 30 minutes. Strain the liquids and save them. Return
the pulp to the pot, add more water and boil again for 30 minutes. Strain the
liquids and combine them with the first strainings. Repeat this process about five
times or until the pulp no longer has a bitter taste. Discard the pulp and reduce
the volume of the combined strainings by boiling in an open pot. Do not use
aluminum ware. When the liquids have been concentrated to the thickness of
cream (about one quart), stop the boiling and stir in 400 grams of sodium
hydroxide (lye). This makes the mescaline more soluble in benzene and less in
water. If a large separatory funnel is available pour the liquids into it and add
1600 ml of benzene. Shake the funnel well for five minutes and let it stand for two
hours. If a separatory funnel is not available the process can be carried out in a
one gallon jug with a siphon attached.
After standing for 2 hours the water layer will settle to the bottom and the
benzene layer will float to the top. Between the two layers will be a thin emulsion
layer of mixed water and benzene. Drain off the water and emulsion layers if you
are using a separatory funnel or siphon off the benzene layer if you are using the
makeshift jug-siphon apparatus. Be certain that neither the water or emulsion
layers get into the benzene layer when separating. If any of these layers d “I grew Sensi Seeds NL#5 and it was one of the best plants I had ever seen. VERY distinctive aroma and taste,
I agree with Skunkman, its like a psychedelic couchlock, the buzz goes for loooong. Plus its one of the best

longer after inducing bloom, excellent flower/leaf ratio. I had good 400 gr./s.m. which I consider nice. Only
drawback I noticed was you better watch the air humidity, they have a tendency to catch bud rot, and the colas
are just too fat and sticky so the air won’t go into. But when you keep moisture down to max. 50% rh. you
should do well. To my experience they are true-breeding, but on the other hand I heard that too much
inbreeding out of a small number of species might cause some problems and show up some indica aspects

While the 5-HT precursors tryptophan and 1-5-HTP cause an increase in serum prolactin concentration, a combination of 1-5-HTP with a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor was found to reduce the serum prolactin concentration. This combination seemed to behave like a DA agonist. This effect is not produced by the decarboxylase inhibitor per se. A possible explanation is that 5-HTP is converted to 5-HT in CA-ergic neurons, that 5-HT supersedes the CA from the stores, and that some of the CA reach the synaptic cleft and stimulate CA receptors. Another possible explanation is that 5-HTP decarboxylase is centrally inhibited as well, and that an effect of 5-HTP itself is involved here. In view of the observations made it is doubtful whether the therapeutic effect of 5-HTP combined with a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor in depressions and myoclonus can in fact be atributed to activation of central serotonergic systems. At one time it was hybridized, but has been around a while. I e-mailed Rosa at Sagarmatha. She said that it
was a strain given to them by a friend from Humbolt Co., CA. She said there was some variation with the

syringe. Often, it takes several tries to get the spores fully broken apart
and well mixed.
If the spores in the print have been dried and are not fresh, it is best to
wait six hours to use the spore syringe. The spores need to rehydrate. If
your in a hurry, the spores can still rehydrate in the culture jars.
How to Make a Spore Print
Once you have a mature mushroom, you are in a position to make a
spore print and use it to continue cultivation of mushrooms. The cap
should be harvested when the mushroom cap has become flat or is
starting to invert.
Sterility is key. Adaptation-25 Be careful not to do anything that will
compromise the sterility of your spore print. The typical procedure is
to cut the stalk off of a mature mushroom very close to the cap. A
sterilized knife or razor blade is used to do this. The cap is then laid on
a sterile piece of tissue paper or card stock and a small glass set over it.
The glass is needed for two reasons. First, it keeps the spore print
insulated from airborne contaminates. Secondly, it helps keep the
humidity high so the mushroom cap can continue to live and drop its
spores. One note of caution. Some humidity usually needs to be

How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 3)
allowed to escape. You want the environment inside the glass to be
slightly less humid than the environment in which the mushroom was
grown. If you have problems getting a cap to drop its spores, try using
a piece of paper for the print that fits entirely inside the glass and
spreading out a wash cloth flat on the table. Let the edge of the glass
seal to the wash cloth instead of the paper. This will usually allow
enough humidity to escape to cause the cap to drop spores.
If everything goes well, after a day or two the cap will drop its spores.
Adaptation-26 There will be a purple-brown dust underneath the cap.
These are the spores.
Eye glass lens paper is good source of sterile tissue paper. A box of
waxy tissue paper that deli's use to pick up donuts and rolls is another
excellent source of sterile tissue paper. Card stock (such as a recipe
card) is a bit easier to use later when you want to prepare a spore
syringe, but you have to expend the extra effort up front to sterilize it.
To use card stock, place in a 425 degree F. oven for 15 minutes. Let it
cool with a glass over it before you place the cap on it.
Once you have a spore print on the paper, remove the glass and cap.
Fold the spore print in half and seal the edges so air can not get in. A
piece of scotch tape on each side will do nicely. The spores will stay
viable for 18 months if they are kept in a cool, dry and dark spot. If
you place a small amount of desiccant in the bottom of a film container
and place a cotton ball on top of the desiccant, you have an ideal
container to keep the spore print. The cotton ball will keep the
desiccant from touchi
