Hey y'all, a friend of mine says it will be 25 degrees where he lives later this week - will the trichos freeze and die in this? What is the lowest temps your trichos have done ok with? thanks!

Thanks for all the info! Christmas tree lights - brilliant!

Hahaha - nice!

Beautiful!

That is a nice cactus there but it's impossible to say if it has LJ genes in it.. There have been very few LJ hybrids so far as I know - most have been done by Zelly.. A couple by Mel/Vin back in 2012 as well.. A guy on the nook a few years ago did PC pachanoi x LJ also, though don't know that those seeds were distributed too widely..

I vote clicks over grunts.. Grunting is tacky..

Yah it was "Lumberjackus" for many years up until fairly recently when some people have been calling it just "Lumberjack" which IMO isn't nearly as cool of a name.. Regardless, "Lumberjackus" (briefly "Lumberjackius") is the correct name and the one given to it by its founder.. Lol, I will continue to call it "Lumberjackus" regardless of any current and future trends to shorten the name to the rather bland sounding "Lumberjack"..

Heya everyone, glad to see the progress - so many cool phenos! One thing to note - I've named the SS02 x pachanoi used in these hybrids as "Mel/vin" after my friend who grew it out from seed - SS02 x pachanoi v. "Mel/vin".. I've edited this in the first post of the thread also. The batch of seed he grew out had both long spine phenos and short spine - seemed to usually be one or the other - noticed this also with MS Smith's SS02 x pachanoi seedlings that he posted pics of.. Anyhow, the "Mel/vin" variety was one of the long-spined ones and I crossed it with my Lumberjackus this year - the seeds will be available down the road a bit through Zelly - the fruit is still growing..

Wow, badass kitty! I still get poked pretty frequently - It doesn't bother me much unless the spine breaks off in my hand and I can't get it out.. I can usually get them with a utility knife blade but sometimes they're too deep and I wind up having to wear a bandaid after the failed surgery..

Huachuma de alemania - I foresee immense popularity for you here on SAB..

Oh wow! Very awesome plants! Welcome, by the way - it looks like you'll fit in nicely here ;-)

Years ago I don't recall people thinking it was a scop hybrid - not sure when that idea started.. The T. cordobensis similarity was pointed out by MS Smith or one of the Americans, who sourced T. cordobensis from Mesa Gardens and noticed similarity.. Initially people thought maybe it had more inner beauty than a typical pachanoi, but I believe that is no longer the perception of some people.. Sure makes some beautiful hybrids - I've grown out both SP x Psycho0 and SP x J3 and they're looking great over at Zelly's and another friend of mine's.. Grew out some Scop x SP and the reverse as well but I gave them all away - that cross grew slower than the other two I mentioned..

In South America there are "brujo" ayahuasca shamans - shamans who use practice dark magic and evil - they sometimes try to kill other ayahuasca shamans and generally practice evil acts. A friend of mine feels that in the modern world, some people who get into the shamanic realm are "unconscious brujos" - they are functioning as evil shaman types without intending to or being aware that they are..

A lot of talk as far as I can tell.. Pics or we'll have to assume you actually have a micro-tbm and drive around in a big monster tire truck with a pitbull to compensate..

Wow, what a killer variety!

Very nice phallusi everyone, very nice phalussi indeed..

Hah, I wish!! Oh wait, you're talking about my TBM - oops, how embarrassing.. Yah, you should post a pic up of our joint custody specimen, it might take the cake..

Lol exactly - and he's hyping the one in the front which has a lighter for a scale of reference, while the TBM in the background looks to be dwarfing a leafblower or some such thing! I say the one in the background isn't getting a fair shake here, and is actually more massive than the one in the foreground.. Something fishy going on here..

I think that's what they called e back in the day before they started calling it molly..

I disagree.. Something should be done about this.. To quote Mark Twain - "Everyone complains about the weather, but no one does anything about it.."

Let us all take a moment of silence for the falllen..

N1 x TPQC - this little baby has become a favorite of mine already - so pretty!!

Is that an astrophytum in your pants or are you just.....?

Wow I did not know that - no clear definition of a "species." That is surprising because usually the sciences are good at creating operational definitions of things, because there's so much scrutiny and peer review and logic/rational thought used that if there's an obvious issue people call attention to it pretty quickly... If they dispensed with the term species though it sounds like people would just used another word like "type" or "variety" or "race" or whatever else to convey the basic sentiment that "we think those two are different enough to warrant a formal distinction." Apparently the same issue is going on with the term "race" as used for humans - biologists and sociologists have been saying that there isn't really such thing as "race" within humans - it's a sociopolitical distinction - certainly among humans we have phenotypes but we're all the same homo sapien..
