Title: Coca seeds in Ausralia
Post by: novocaine on July 27, 2011, 10:18 pm
Anyone interested?
I am only offering to Aus atm because of the small window of a couple of weeks to get these germinated.
I get 99% germination if planted within 2 weeks of picking.
The plant is Erythroxylum novogranatense

I might be interested in this. Would you also be able provide any information on germinating/growing them? (eg. Growing conditions, soil needs (brands, types, etc.), pots, etc).

Also, what would the price be per X/seeds?

DUDE I have been looking for these in the USA.  If you ever decide that shipping here might work, drop me a line.

Well like I say the do lose viability fairly quickly, so it will be your call if you want loginathome. I dont want shitty feedback saying you never got them or only half popped ;)

@somethingprivate  I will provide some propagation and care info when I post them up but basically it likes to be in a warm spot. It like acidic soil like an azalea potting mix.  Just plant the whole berry about 5mm in half propagating mix half azalea mix and keep moist. It can take upto a month to pop. And once they do pop, dont fuss with them too much. I find the ones I neglect are the ones that survive. Like dont overwater, keep in a sunny greenhouse or semi shade for the first 6 to 12months and in about 2 years she will throw you your own berries to play with oh and some fresh leaf to chew ;D

Dont know about price yet but the prices I have seen are around $8-$15 per berry.
My bush is in full flower atm so it wont be listed for at least 3 weeks or so

A little finicky from what I read, but they should work.
best part, they are LEGAL in the US.   (last I checked)
Only the purified extract is illegal.

Naw, If I bought, I wouldn't blame you for it never growing.  That could not be your fault.
And it probably is too risky.

Sounds fairly simple, thanks for the info! I've grown a few things before and have learnt that sometimes, being too 'loving' with them is a bad thing. I thought my acacia's weren't going to do anything, so I put the pot outside and neglected them, about two weeks later I notice that 3 of the seeds started to sprout. I guess it's more of a thing where I want to be constantly checking on them, etc to see them grow haha, but I'm pretty sure I'd have better luck watching paint dry.

No worries, that would give me enough time to get this BitCoin thing worked out by then anyway.

Looking forward to any updates :)
Cheers

Hi all

Im not by any means claiming to be an expert on this, but from my understanding, unless they are grown at a particular minimum altitude, they will not produce the desired alkaliod.

Any thoughts?

at sea level it produces alkaloid.

From my understanding some varieties only grow/grow to produce optimum alkaloid at altitude.

But I know novogranatense is pretty versatile, it will grow and produce alkaloid at sea level. It was used extensively throughout Java at see level to low altitude

Last I heard, That was a myth.   They produce might produce slightly more, but not enough to really matter.
Just like that old rumor that Pot is only psychoactive if grown in desert conditions...

But I really don't know, I've just heard some people claiming it needs certain altitudes and other claiming it makes a difference but its less than 10% or something

I have researched a few studies done on this topic and from what I can gather its not the alkaloid that is effected by altitude
in certain var, it is the leaf mass. Less leaf mass = less yeild

What exactly does one do with these things? I reckon I should order just for the fun of it.

plant it and 3-4weeks later you get a little baby coca bush. They look great as a nice ornamental plant in a pot or they make a nice hedge in your front yard. Munch on the leaves with a little bit of lime for a natural uplift. You wont get the instant high like coke but you will feel like you just drank a couple of cans of redbull without the body load.
Great hunger suppressant
Plant a couple of acres and you will feel like a drug cartel boss as you get your minions to churn out coke in makeshift labs using nothing but diesel and sodium hydroxide

No shipping to US, yet?

I can. But it will be out of escrow as they will lose viability if they get held up somewhere along the line.
