Thread: Belladonna

I put some belladonna seeds in soil yesterday. They were in cold strat for a month and i'm hoping that was long enough. So far i've just been pacing back and forth singing to them but they haven't sprouted yet. Anyone else have any experience to share? I could use some tips, i don't really grow flowers. Right now they are in an styro egg carton with dirt and holes at the bottom. I just mixed some garden soil with some verm. I hope it works, should i maybe put some plastic wrap on top to keep in moisture till the sprout? I read you can do that so you don't have to keep watering.

Where do you get belladonna seeds? I just use Benadryl. And yes, the plastic wrap does work, it holds in moisture when there isn't any grass to do that.

The plastic thing is a general tip for germinating. Damn my legs are getting tired. These things better start sprouting, or i'm just gonna have to quit pacing.

EDIT: Just found this

very interesting for anyone else that wants to germinate some belladonna.

Sprouts!! i think.

If you live somewhere these grow naturally like weeds, you might wanna turn away before you puke. Anyways here is one of my babies!! It's so cute!!

I agree with VIRAL. Belladonna is just asking for trouble. Just do some Benadryl and you will get similar (much weaker--a good thing) effects. TRUST ME or THEM!!!! Belladonna will kill you and at the same time NOT give you a meaningful effect or "trip."

Nobody is planning to eat them. Well i'm not. From what i hear the berries taste bad so it shouldn't really be a problem. Except incase of drunk people, they mess everything up. I better not let the plant around them. It's always mentioned to keep the plant away from kids and pets, but never drunk adults. It really should be.

Quick fact yes Belladonna is poisonous but Italian Women used to place a drop in their eyes to dilate their pupils for as a form of seduction.

Who knew?

Which later lead to blindness.

About as logical as women who used it to induce mischariages...in the end, yeah, you get the result, but your body will suffer a lot because of it.
