All you really need is a magnifying glass.

The best time to start growing kava was 5 years ago. The second best time to start growing kava is today.

I think twice a day is fine although maybe a bit more is needed if you have really dry air. I only drove through Arizona once when Route 66 really was Route 66 long ago ('72). Again, it is worth looking under the leaves pic. 1 and 4 particularly.

Kelai from Epi Island is super heady and will not put you on the floor. Feels super relaxing. https://elmanaro.com/products/copy-of-el-manaro-instant-kava-kelai-variety

Does it matter what brand of kava you take? I swear the kava vendors like you that actively participate on the forums drink stuff from their competitors at least a few times a [insert period of time here]. I may have some really old bags.

I use PRO-MIX BX MYCORRHIZAE 70 % with pure perlite #4, 30%. Mixed well. Kava is a mycorrhizae plant. Never mix sphagnum moss (SM) in with your soil mix. The use of SM is for propagating nodes, air-layering and related. I don't see anything wrong on the underside of the leaf, but as...

Bugs like spider mites, which can be hard to see with the naked eye. Something like this is handy (that's just a random one that showed up in search results, I don't know if that particular one is any good). A magnifying lens might be enough though.

If your concerned about perlite causing problems make sure to get the big cheap bag of perlite from home depot. It's plain perlite. It's just for water retention. The miracle gro stuff in the small bags has additives.

It looks like the Logee folks are in Connecticut? Whatever they are doing to make those shipable Mahakea they are doing a good job! The leaf picture with the curled/burned edge should be flipped over and examined with a magnifying glass. I have never experienced an adverse reaction from perlite...

Apparently (I just googled this and learned something new!) distilled water is neutral when it's made, but within hours of exposure to the air (carbon dioxide) turns acidic on its own. So I guess you don't have to add anything if you use that.

I buy that one sometimes, you’ll still need more perlite than what comes in that mix. They sell bags of perlite at Home Depot, probably 5 or 6 bucks. ::kavaleaf::

I usually keep mine in it's little carton for a few days, let it get some water and light a few times and then transplant it. Those damn burnt edges on the leaves, I get so much of that it drives me crazy. Make sure not to over water it too...if the soil is still dark brown and damp, just spritz...

I tried to order to Texas and it said you don't ship here. What's up with that? Update: Contacted Ofa's kava through e-mail and made them aware of the issue. They actually do ship to Texas. Bruce responded VERY quickly and took my order through e-mail. Looking forward to trying it!

This is my favorite KS kava. Warm and fuzzy without nausea if I blend it with something like Kalm Vula Waka. I look at it as the strongest anxiety killer kava with fewer side effects than the other heavies that target anxiety to that degree. Granted I haven't ordered in a while.

And Kava Time as well as Kalm carried palarasul this year, And soon Art of Kava will have BirKar

Welcome to the forums. I have a bit of experience in introducing kava to reluctant people...:rolleyes: Try a cocoa flavored type kava or even a concentrate that can be mixed with water, such as this from KWK. Fiji Vanua kava has a really tasty cocoa kava and perhaps a couple other vendors...

I'd love to be the proud owner of that shed, or one of those lovely 5KG bags..:happy:

Got me thinking... Is it possible to make a kava essential oil ? Is it done already ? How is it ?

Sounds like you just had the idea we were all thinking. Wouldn't that be fun to mix yourself as a "kit".

Ahhh, so you guys do get in separate root and stump bags. Any chance of the future holding the possibility of personalized ratios?
