Highlights:

>Analyzed the chemical composition of plants with different mechanisms of anabolic action. Herbal anabolic steroids can be divided into 3 groups: phytoecdysones, estrogen and hypoglycemic action anabolics.
>
>Phytoecdysones called group of polyhydroxylated steroid compounds (Rhaponticum carthamoides, Plantago major). In experiments it was found that ecdysterone of Leuzea [=Leuzea*/*Rhaponticum carthamoides/Maral root] increased body weight and total protein in the liver, heart and kidneys.
>
>Phytoestrogens – analogues of female sex hormones – have diverse structure. First of all, it may be steroidal estrogens similar to human (Salix alba, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Prunus armeniaca); stilbenes (Anisum vulgare, Trifolium repens); coumarin derivatives (Trifolium repens, Trifolium hybridum, Medicago sativa); isoflavonoids (Medicago sativa, Prunus avium, Genista tinctoria).
>
>There are several groups of plants which include glycokinins having effect similar to insulin. One of these glycokinins groups has an anabolic activity (Phaseolus vulgaris, Medicago sativa, Galega officinalis, Lactuca sativa, Elytrigia repens, Taraxacum officinale, Lactuca sativa, Apium graveolens, Juglans regia, Verbascum phlomoides).

I will add some more informations.

Before humans the planet was like an young earth, poor in oxigen, with liquid oceans of water, and an atmosphere compound mainly by carbonic gas and nitrogen. Humans had terraformed the planet with a collection of microorganisms to produce oxygen, control cycles of nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and others, reduce salinity in the oceans, et cetera. They had landed and built a colony in a place called the promised land, a depression rich in poisonous gases like butane, methane and hydrogen sulfide, which were used to produce energy. The colonies had many farms were some animals managed to leave and started to spread.

Finally, human machines and robots worked for ten thousand years after humans died.

Hello all,

I have indoor Romaine lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa, Parris Island Cos) that are wilting from the tip of the leaf, that results in the whole leaf wilting. It turns brown and becomes somewhat soft. The plants overall look healthy. Whatever it is, my jalapeno plants seem to be resistant to it, as they've come in direct contact and have had no issues. I also thought it could be certain leaves touching the cold/damp glass of a window (it's winter), but moving them back didn't help either.Pictures attached. Thank you all!

Is your plant near a window? Yes, on a window seal (large windows).

• Are there curtains or blinds? Are those closed very often? Yes, but never closed
• What direction does that window face? Some south, some east
• Do you have any additional light support? No
• What sort of airflow does your plant have? Indoor air
• What is your watering regimen? How often? Based on what? I water every few days. I initially cut back because I thought I was over-watering, and that was causing the wilting.
• How about fertilizing, what are you doing with that? Haven't changed since potting, but they're small.
• Have there been any new plant additions to the house? I also have jalapenos, a few flowers. I also had some bean plants but it wasn't worth the effort, so they're all gone.
• Has your plant spent any time outside recently? No
• How long have you had this plant? 2.5-3 months
• What soil are you using? Miracle grow potting mix
• What is the root situation? Lots of room for more, rootbound, somewhere in between? Pretty small pots but the plants are pretty small too.
• Do you have pets or pests that may have gotten to the plants? I previously had little white bugs but they're all gone, and I haven't seen any since planting the lettuce. I also had bean plants near the lettuce, which actually traps little gnats and bugs (the underside of the leaves are rough and traps them, pretty cool honestly)
• What kind of plant is it? Romaine lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa, Parris Island Cos)
• *Almost forgot temperature. What temperatures does it experience throughout the day and night? 70ish F, room temp

Below pictures shows an earlier stage (right) and late stage (left) of the leaves.

Hi,

I am located in central europe, currently there is not much sunlight (winter time).

I tried growing some vegetables (Arugula, Lactuca sativa var. crispa, Radish) on my windowssill, it's a south facing window and it's bright enough in the room that when the sun shines no extra light is needed.

The plants all sprouted fine but later they get very long and thin stems, multiple of them broke while watering. Now I thought, OK this time of the year it's simply not enough light.

Some weeks later I saw someone similar plants in a green house (no extra light or heating, hust a plastic house with windows closed mostly) standing in a garden and there they seem to grow well?

Someone explain this to me please why they grow well in the green house and bad on my windowsill? I can imagine I have neighbour buildings & windows that could steal light. Thanks!

The bad growing plants (on the right, ignore the left ones):

So for one of my college classes I have an experiment that I must design and conduct that counts for quite a large portion of my final grade, and for this experiment, I want to test the statistical effect of the amount of exposure a facultative photoperiodic plant (Lactuca Sativa, or Lettuce, in this case) has on the rate of germination among their seeds. I've found a sort of hitch in my plans however, as I can't seem to find a way to filter light to be far-red, and as I researched methods of doing so, a lot of websites about greenhouses came up, but did not include specifics that I needed, so I came here and was wondering if you guys had any experience or advice with this, and could recommend me to a product praterial I could use to effectively filter light into the necessary wavelength range of 720-850nm. Thank you so much for your time guys!

First post at this sub, and a word play at this too!

^(at words atop this post)

Lactuca sativa + tomato + bacon, and [omit] avocado. Put it [omit] with soft buns and this bliss will occur.

It's now 3am at my location, and I should probably stop my body from last day's run.

As you all know, ageing urine is a vital step in using it in an anthroponics system. Not only does the process sterilize it, but it also helps convert the urea to ammonia, which makes it easier for the biofilter of the system to then use it in the nitrogen cycle.

However, as we've shown in our first experiment, this can take between 4 to 6 weeks. It is simply too much time to have any practical applications. We decided to investigate the matter further, and I decided to share the results here before I type and share the actual data into a technical report.

It turns out there is an enzyme called Urease which can dramatically decrease the time required for the urea to convert to ammonia, and thus reach a pH of 9, sterilizing the solution. While it is prohibitively expensive to acquire the concentrated enzyme from chemical companies or laboratories, we researched where it can be found in nature and decided to run some trials.

We found out that urease is present in watermelon seeds, yellow peas and jack beans. We've started some tests with watermelon seeds and yellow peas, and already got some promising results with the first. We have found out that 1 dehusked and crushed watermelon seed, mixed with 100mL of urine (or about a fifth of what an average adult male urinates per ocassion), lowers the ageing time from 5 weeks to 9 hours. Furthermore, adding 1g of dehusked and crushed watermelon seeds lowered the ageing time from 5 weeks to 15 minutes. And adding 10g of dehusked and crushed watermelon seeds made the volatilization process instant (<1min). We just started testing for yellow peas now, so it will take a while until I have some more detailed info.

I will write all of this in a more detailed way under a new technical report similar to the ones I've published before, but I wanted to share it with whoever is interested so you can all start doing it already. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot ahead. For reference, we used this paper as a starting point in our experiments.

Peach & Lily - Pure Peach Retinoic Eye Cream

Another eye cream review...from someone that should not be reviewing eye creams.

Really though, I need to stop buying eye specific skincare and I think the Peach & Lily Pure Peach Retinoic Eye Cream will be the last one (at least for a good long while).

I’m lucky enough that I don’t (yet) tackle many of the issues that eye products are meant to address. I’m not seeing any lines or wrinkles in that area really...and the slight darkness/bagginess I have has been there since I was a tiny human.

So, I fear that any amazing benefits or results might be a bit lost on me. At least that seems to be the trend since no eye product I have tried has truly wowed me.

What I do like about the Pure Peach Retinoic Eye Cream is that it features so many ingredients I love in a product that is lightweight and absorbs beautifully. Niacinamide, ginseng, bamboo, and several antioxidant rich greens are here.

Also, Bakuchiol is in the formulation which is said to be a more “natural” and gentle alternative to Retinol. From what I’ve read and heard from skincare professionals...we need more studies/research before making that claim with confidence.

My experience with this product is that it hydrates my eye area really well and plays nicely with the other products in my routine. That in addition to the nice dose of antioxidants makes this a fine product for me...I just can’t say for certain that it is doing much more than that.

A little bit goes a really long way here so I’ll probably have this bottle in my routine for quite some time. But, I don't think it is something I would come back to...I guess the same could be said for all eye products (for now).

Like I said...not the best person to be reviewing this one lol!

I posted the following as a response to a fellow redditor, but felt that it would be beneficial to post it as its own thread so others could perhaps utilize it to help themselves through kratom withdrawal also. I feel that it would be selfish to not use my extensive experience with both using and withdrawing from kratom to help others. I am also a holistic psychology research major and study herbal medicine and pharmacology, among other things. Please keep in mind that I am aware that many people use kratom responsibly for medical reasons, to break other addictions, or as an occasional recreational treat. I am in no way vilifying kratom as an "addictive" substance, as I find it is far, far more forgiving and benign than most street drugs. It is simply something that deserves respect.

Copied from my response to a fellow redditor:

My recommendation is to first take naproxen sodium (Aleve). You would be tremendously and pleasantly surprised at how well it relieves the achiness and the restless legs at night (which for me is the absolute worst part). I hate having no motivation and being fatigued but not being able to sleep. Another two meds I'd recommend, with hesitation, are diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or doxylamine succinate (Unisom) to sleep if you absolutely must, but be aware they can worsen RLS for some people (I find they can for me sometimes, but not for others). I find doxyalmine to be vastly preferable as it's more sedating than Benadryl but has less anticholinergic effects such as delirium and confusion.

In terms of herbs/supplements: Black Seed oil (Nigella Sativa) is used for opiate detoxes in the Middle East and appears based on studies I've seen to have mu-opioid agonist properties itself. Although it's not gonna get you high, there is a very significant and perceivable wave of relief that washes over you the moment you first swallow it (1-2 tablespoons should work for this purpose if not used too frequently, as the recommended dose is 1-2 teaspoons as a daily supplement). Another good substance is Opium Lettuce (Lactuca Virosa); it got its name from its use as an opium substitute in the 1800s because, although it is not addictive or active at opiate receptors, it provides relief from almost all the same things opioid medications do (cough, pain, restlessness, insomnia, cold and flu-like symptoms). Lastly, magnesium is very very beneficial for aching muscles and also mood/anxiety. Most magnesium supplements are poorly absorbed, so I rec

So for one of my college classes I have an experiment that I must design and conduct that counts for quite a large portion of my final grade, and for this experiment, I want to test the statistical effect of the amount of exposure a facultative photoperiodic plant (Lactuca Sativa, or Lettuce, in this case) has on the rate of germination among their seeds. I've found a sort of hitch in my plans however, as I can't seem to find a way to filter light to be far-red, and I was wondering if you guys had any experience or advice with this, and could recommend me to a product praterial I could use to effectively filter light into the necessary wavelength range of 720-850nm. Thank you so much for your time guys!

Peach & Lily - Pure Peach Retinoic Eye Cream

Another eye cream review...from someone that should not be reviewing eye creams.

Really though, I need to stop buying eye specific skincare and I think the Peach & Lily Pure Peach Retinoic Eye Cream will be the last one (at least for a good long while).

I’m lucky enough that I don’t (yet) tackle many of the issues that eye products are meant to address. I’m not seeing any lines or wrinkles in that area really...and the slight darkness/bagginess I have has been there since I was a tiny human.

So, I fear that any amazing benefits or results might be a bit lost on me. At least that seems to be the trend since no eye product I have tried has truly wowed me.

What I do like about the Pure Peach Retinoic Eye Cream is that it features so many ingredients I love in a product that is lightweight and absorbs beautifully. Niacinamide, ginseng, bamboo, and several antioxidant rich greens are here.

Also, Bakuchiol is in the formulation which is said to be a more “natural” and gentle alternative to Retinol. From what I’ve read and heard from skincare professionals...we need more studies/research before making that claim with confidence.

My experience with this product is that it hydrates my eye area really well and plays nicely with the other products in my routine. That in addition to the nice dose of antioxidants makes this a fine product for me...I just can’t say for certain that it is doing much more than that.

A little bit goes a really long way here so I’ll probably have this bottle in my routine for quite some time. But, I don't think it is something I would come back to...I guess the same could be said for all eye products (for now).

Like I said...not the best person to be reviewing this one lol!

Full Ingredients List: Water, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Cetearyl Alcohol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Bambusa (Bamboo) Textilis Stem Extract, Arctium Lappa (Burdock) Root Extract, Morus Alba (Mulberry) Leaf Extract, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract, Bakuchiol, Rosa Rubiginosa Seed Oil, Daucus Carota (Carrot) Sativa Root Water, Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Spinacia Oleracea (Spinach) Leaf Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Extract, Apium Graveolens (Celery) Extrac
