Yep :)

Yes we did, friday is supposed to be 42C and where I live isn't even the hottest place haha.
So far I haven't heard of a eucalyptus smoke, was it for practice or did you guys actually smoke it?

I would assume you roll it up from the leaf tip in a diagonal fashon to create a funnel of soughts to fill up with tobacco or weed? Interesting :)
Thinly rolled, funnel in the middle ,oxygen to get through, it was our smoke when dried.Pure eucalyptus, because we couldn't afford to buy cigarettes
I think if you look into it,yes,can be used for weed, possibly a cob? with weed leaves?(weaved a special way)
Definitely aboriginal

Taking her outdoors, will give a more complete picture, unique opportunity to see how,Highland Greek Landrace Sativa,grows in her environment,at altitude, place of origin!!
:)
Don't need worms, manure etc BioBizz Light Mix and nutrients are good enough, especially when highland water runs through her rooting system

I'm interested red. So you actually smoked cigs rolled from pure eucalyptus leaves with no tobacco/cannabis in them? Does that create a noticeable effect you feel or is it just for fun?

Apparently they are called bidee cigarettes. Very popular in India. They use another leaf instead of eucalyptus there but it's basically the same concept. I read about it last night :)
So the seeds have been released? I'll keep an eye out on the websites I use to buy seeds or maybe you could PM me the seedbank that is selling them? :)

It'll be great to see that's for sure! Landraces don't need much in terms of nutrients so I'm not surprised there, easy to grow for the most part :)

Night4 did some research.Bidees
As kids we did it for fun, but,now I need to find out the technique of rolling a cone, a weaved leaf "cone" they way the aboriginals do it
It must be very old technique, older than India itself(cob possibilities with weed leaves)

:)

Greeks cob their sativas and bury them in the ground:)

I have an idea of what you're talking about. I haven't spent a lot of time with Aborigines but I think I know how they do it. I'll be traveling soon enough so I'll let you know If I bump into someone who knows more about the aborigine way

Just like the people of Malawi! :) I wonder if Aboriginals were the first to design the cob style of curing. Interesting stuff mate :)

Woohoo! The little one is out of the gates outdoors :) The adventure begins.

I'm must agree
