How do you harvest MG seeds?

[groovecookie]

Seems to be hard to find mg seed in garden stores, but I'm sure they're growing around here somewhere. Can anyone tell me how and when to harvest them? Also I'm wondering if you can make a good extract with just hard alcahol (like 80 proof vodka or something) without the petrolium ether.

Seeds pods appear where flowers fall off. After some weeks (like months possibly), they'll turn brown and be ready to be harvested. I haven't been able to harvest a single seed from my sprawling MG plants. Every seed pod is green, and I opened one to find a clusterfuck of plant shit, not seeds, lol.

You could tear down the plants and extract LSA from them as well.

Interesting. I suppose late fall or early winter would be my guess on the time to get em. How would you go about extracting LSA from the plants?

groovecookie- where do you live? Where I live morning glories are a very common pest, but because of the colder climate they do not produce seeds. Morning glories origonaly come from Mexico I think, where it is a bit warmer.
Interesting. I didnt know the plant itself contained LSA, Although I did read on erowid a recapie for morning glory tea- where you just get a shit load of flowers and soaked them in water for a month to produce a mildly psychoactive drink.

I live in Tacoma, Washington. Morning glories are common here too, but WA is not one of the warmer states. Maybe I'll just have to buy the seeds. I did find one store that had them but I bought all they had and that was only about a hundred or so. I'm guessing I'll need at least a hundred more to get a decent dose. Just gotta keep looking I guess.

The stems and leaves supposedly have decent amounts of LSA. They can be extracted as one would preform an extraction on the seeds.

Do you know how I might go about finding petrolium ether? A hardware store maybe? What is it normally used for?

VM&P Naphtha is what you're looking for. Found in hardware stores (Home Depot will definitely have it).

I live in New England. I just harvested a shit load from my neigbors plants - its EASY. I recomentd using an envelope, or a cone of paper - when you find the brown seed pods just squish em & twist em like you were milking a tiny green cow .... & the seeds will fall right out of the pods into your container - use something wide & funnel like, you'll miss less stuff. I got a bunch today within about 5 minutes.

I've heard of cold water extraction & the petroleum ether one. Problem with the PE is its hard to find, & expensive ...

[groovecookie]

Well, I'll look around in Home Depot and see what the VM&P Naphtha costs. Since it can be reused for up to five cycles, I suppose it might be worth the investment if it doesn't cost too much. I'm pretty sure all the flowers I have seen growing in this area are of the Pearly Gates variety, so the only question is whether I can find them---I can't remember any specific place where I've seen them recently, and whether it's warm enough here in western WA for them to produce seeds. I'm not too sure about using the plant. According to Erowid, they might have a lot of other stuff I don't want in them. Plus it would be a lot harder to know how much to use to get the right amount of LSA.
If it turns out I can't find anything growing, or if it turns out they don't produce seeds here, does anyone know a distributor that sells the seeds fairly cheap?

I did some math awhile back and figured out that 1 milligram of LSA is equal to 1000 seeds. so simply get a scale that can measure in hundreds of milligrams and each 100 milligrams is 100 seeds.

The plant contains "purgative principals", but if you preform an extraction on it, you will end up with only the LSA. Or so I've read.

Using the plant would be where it gets dicey since there doesn't seem to be any info on just how much LSA is in how much plant.

What do you mean. The lsa you want to take is in the seeds, forget about he plant itself.

They're annuals. They must produce seeds.
