Friends, a word that sounds warm to our ears and our heart, but can you still call someone a friend when he came in the business hour and talking about a deal with you, I guess not, at least for me. I have to postpone my free E-Book, just because a friend of mine is already doing business with it, and he makes money from it, me? free e-book? he thinks I'm absurd. I'm an advanced user of 3ds max, rendering artist and I'm planning to share the knowledge for free,"you live in absurd world" he said, "knowledge means something, don't give em free, you've learned a long way to achieve that, you had even make a lot of money from it"...., well it depend at what point of view my friend, I'm never afraid to share my knowledge to everyone else, but I must have something in return, but not money,"What?..., I just don't understand you, what would you expect from giving it for free?", let's see. I have to postpone the project, and when the book finally launch, I hope I'm not hurting you or your business, I have my own business with that knowledge -->I didn't saying this word directly :). I think people need guidance, the easy way, to achieve the look of a 3d presentation that will make clients and investors happy happy happy ...pour the beer :) :D. Then I tell him, i just need traffic, LOL :D

1 Year since my last post

2009-01-16T03:02:00.004+07:00

Hooooaaaa.....hhhh, it will be one year in 8 days forward since my last post, I have been very busy with the photo service (now my wife run it), taking plant pictures here and there for the buyers, I'm not making profit by selling those plants, but many sellers want to snap their plants to show it to the buyers, anthurium is a big bang around here, but now the craze and maze are over :D, while I am doing the 3d visualization stuffs, and then set up another blog about gadgets, gadgets always distracting me, pull my attention, my eyes and my eagerness how some mod can be done with it :), the same spirit happens with plants, but none come to a succes. I will still experimenting with my plants, my uv lamp still there complete with the selfmade box, yeah once I clean up the space upstair to make it a more comfortable area for my online activities and doing what I love to do. Blogging, socialize and experimenting. Experiments to come are :

1. DIY wind turbine

2. Laser Vortex

I'm still doing some 3D stuffs right now, modeling, rendering and finish the touch, till morning comes :)

Adenium and Anthurium before UV exposure

2008-01-24T03:06:00.000+07:00

This morning I will prepare the 4 leaves adenium and single leaf anthurium for UV-C exposure. I think I cannot expose these plant for hours under UV-C exposure, maybe just for five to fifteen minutes, I am afraid it will die soon if the exposure takes longer than fifteen minutes. The Calladium has a new leaf and it has darker color than the other one. Smaller and darker.

Chemical Inducing started

Three days ago I've started to sink the anthurium seeds in the colchicine liquid, it was about 20 seeds for this trial with time variations from half an hour to 24 hours. And I also put some control seeds, and now the seeds begin to sprout, with the colchicine liquid I also sunk some of adenium seeds in to it.

The UVC exposure was done yesterday evening for about two hours, today it begin to produce its sticky water from the leaves. The Calladium with four leaves, only one leaf survived, now it has two, the new one has much more yellow tone and a bit of greener spots here and there, i wish i could upload the photographs, still looking for free image hosting.

May be this exposure is lethal to my Calladium, it was exposed to UV-C for about 10 hours, i was planned it for just half an hour, but I forget and I was doing something else. Half an hour exposure is enough to make this only two leaves Calladium changing its color to a bit yellow and dark green and totally dried three days later. The ten hours UV-C exposure the plant has already recover from the first exposure and it has four leaves, the result is almost the same, two leaves was dried out 4 days later, one leaves six days later and one is still survive with the color altered by bright yellow spots and it could still maintain its surface shininess not like the other three, and after the two leaves die, it produces one new leaves which is has more yellow tone. The next exposure will be on Sansiviera Giant with two leaves.

First blog

Welcome to my blog, here you'll find the journal of my plant research to induce variations and mutations in it. My plants are not much, 4 Calladiums, 1 cacti(I hope it is Echinopsis) and 1 flower that I don't know its scientific name yet. Variations and mutations induced by chemical mutagen and extreme UV radiation (using germicidal UV lamp). Just for fun and curiosity and the next 4 or 5 months from now I could have a brand new plant that is unique.
