whats cacti are those crested ones in the last picture?

Can't wait to read your informative/innovative teks!

congratz! any luck successfully pollinating it?

so whats you recommended optimal size for degrafting/harvest?

does anyone have any experience with consuming (de)grafted lophophora?

I was wondering how many buttons ( in weight) you would need for a light,normal and heavy dose (dried or fresh)

to bad, I live in The Netherlands.

Nice pictures 
that are some small grafting stocks indeed, hope it works

I don't think I'm gonna win but competing can't hurt right? 

Hi Sprac,

Welcome to the forum.

Maybe you can post some nice pictures of your plants and grow area.

hey anne,

Whats your way for rooting degrafted lophs?

a degraft was done for me because the pot fell over  so the lophophora is now just chilling and forming a callus.

Time for a little Update.
I received an abused San Pedro cactus from a friend.
I couldn't watch any longer how he was pulling out the spines (because he hate to be pricked  ) and letting it dry out to much in the summer and giving it to much rain in the spring/autumn.
Here is a picture I took after I cut off the side shoot (which was almost bigger than the main stem)

San Pedro From seeds ( only 4 of 10 germinated )

Peyote from seeds ( only 2 of 10 germinated:( )

2014-09-18

I mailed the site where I got my previous seeds and they mailed me 20 free peyote seeds.( still only 9 germinated, starting to suspect I'm doing something wrong )

The abused one has made a new pub (pictures were made just before hibernation).

My collection ready to go to sleep.
The one staked up was the one I cut off the abused one and was still rooting.

yeah I allready have grafted one on peres. but these are pictures from 2014 still, I will upload more soon.

and the etiolated part was indeed because of to much water when it did not have enough roots the first 2 months after it was rooted. ( it was my first trich cacti and I made the mistake watering it to often, not gonna happen again  ) As you can see the bridgesii in the last 2 pictures is the same one as in the first picture only a month later.

maybe I should note the dates when the pictures were taken.

here are some images of my cacti in the summer of 2014.

crested san pedro just began to make roots (I bought the cutting a month earlier)

2014-08-07
lophophora caespitosa bought from the same place as the san pedro.

A month later and my bridgesii is growing nicely.
you can also see 2 opuntia's i've grown from seed.
