Well bro, but Salvia is just the genus of hella plants. Theres like more then 500 plants beginning with salvia. I hope yours is salvia divirnorium though. Where did you get it?

i was going to grow salvia divirnoium, but i thought id abuse it too much if i had more than a gram a time so i decided not to, i dont think you have bught the right 1 as the salvia d plant is a bit more expensive

yeah, most nurserys and shit don't carry salvia divinorum, they almost always have some other species. You probably dont have the right stuff, but you could pick and dry some leaves right now and try it. Salvia doesn't need to bloom or anything, you just use the leaves, so in theory you can have unlimited harvests all summer.

but you'd want to make extract out of the leaves anyways. THe leaves arent very potent and take a lot to work.

Well, i have dried a few leaves and tried it, But im not sure if i felt anything or not, I hope i did. What i really need to do is make an Extract, but that will come later. And if worst comes to worst, i have cool house plants, And i can tell everyone im growing salvia ;P. Awesome!. And i bought them at an outdoor greenhouse, The woman that runs it looks like a wicked burnout. So im hopin for the best. I would have just asked her but there was alot of people around.

sry doesn't look like salvia divinorum

heres a link to a place that will ship them to you 15 bucks a piece, its average price

Richters Herb Catalogue Directory

i get a lot of my veggies and herbs through them.

salvia divinorum, has a square stem, and ribs at each node, it likes high humidity but very little water near her roots(gets root rot QUICK)(growing it hydro is pretty impressive)

cuttings are very simple, just cut dip in rooting hormon and leave in a cup of water for a few days changing the water every day. roots in 3-5 days usually

heres a pic of one of myplants, sry for the quality taken on a cell phone

Its not salvia divinorum mate sorry to say :(

I grow salvia which has been adapted to very low humidity so its easy as hell to grow. Though salvia itself isnt worth it if your growing to harvest as per plant the harvest is very low. If you were aiming for a gram of ten times extract that'd be about one plants worth. Unless you left it grow for ages. Salvia in comparison to cannabis grows very slowly.
