So my DMT journey started on May 4th 2016 backstage of an Iron Maiden concert, since then I've been cultivating acacia species non stop. At first I just wanted a single plant that I can call my own that'll commemorate my experince I had with DMT that night, instead I quickly acquired a wide range of seeds/plants and gained a new hobby that started taking up much of my spare time.
I worked as a tradesman most of my life until 20+ years of shitty posture, 15 years of rugby league, 10+ years of manual labour and an awfully large bong rip all come together one afternoon and I herniated and buldged discs in my neck. Since then I've gone all in on a new career in science and currently working through a degree in microbiology.
DMT nexus has always been a fantastic source for information for me over the years and now it's my turn to contribute through a wide range of experiments I've been wanting to do for a long time now but haven't had the expertise and/or material until now.
Here's some of activities and experiments I'll sharing with you all in the near future.
1. A huge range of different acacia cultivation experiments from tissue culture, cross breeding, grafting, cloning etc.
2. Lot's of alkaloid analysis of different acacia species and experiments from simple a/b extracts to UV spectroscopy.
3. Experiments using different endophytic fungal and bacteria species and it's impact on alkaloids
4. Documenting the conservation work I'm doing with rare/endangered acacia species.
5. Mad scientist bullshit like building a dmt Christmas tree. (A single tree that consists of at least 3 different speices spliced together 😂
Looking forward to contributing as much as I can!
