If i wanted the results ur looking for I'd go scorched earth approach...all them weed & grasses have seeds which will sprout forever, even thru layers of rocks....burn em & their parents....use a propane torch or similar around the plants you want to save, the ashes will benefit the soil & roots. digging them up puts them in shock which will retard growth for awhile while they recover...bad idea imo. burn out the grasses weeds & seeds then sprinkle time release ferts around the plants.....each time the ferts get wet they release a tiny bit of chems, thus providing regular feedings over 4-6 months

TH- have you ever thought about building a cold frame and over wintering some of your smaller cacti outdoors?

VRG started out as a big clump of red flowering grandiflorus with 2-3 stems only slightly variegated however when crossed with other trichs a full range of variegation can be seen..... such as mis-val (validus) x vrg to near 100% variegation scop x vrg aka Zelly Oscar consists of 4-5 stems of seed grown plants that can exhibit monstrous / crested genetics. Pics are all oscar mother plants, one of the completely spineless stems flowered this yr Olivia consists of a single stem with a few branches and doesn't exhibit any monstrous genetics Bertha is very similar in growth & looks to LumberJack although crosses both ways have been made... Imo certain hybrids when crossed with other hybrids or clones tend to occasionally produce variegated seedlings... for example the SS02xSS01 plant when crossed with LumberJack or Bertha or Icaros or (insert name) sometimes produces variegated seedlings.

get to grafting NOW! If its large enuf to cut with a blade its large enuf to graft.....if you wait too long the next time you look they wont be there..... no green chlorophyll means no growth and death not far behind... Dont believe anything you read on the internet, do believe in your own FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE.......(gained by hands on experience)

well seeing as how you're a conspiracy theorist, ya better make it quick, before the upcoming pole shift!

My yopo tree started producing pods several years ago, first just a few, then more the next year, then more, and finally this year it absolutely exploded with pods. If i dont pick them they eventually dry up & split open, dropping the seeds. I'd like to hear from experienced growers or those with first hand knowledge as to the best time to pick the pods; when the seeds are at their freshest & most viable..... pic taken mid july 2018

I had a bumper crop of TPM flowers on 3 different plants this year, including a revert from Nitrogens TPC plant. Unfortunately the first few crosses didn't take due to the extreme heat wave we had...... 100% of the proceeds from the auction will go to Torsten & earmarked for the 2019 server fund. Winning bidders will make direct payment to Torsten. Yes, more than the highest bidder will be a winner, however I wont say how many. Minimum bid increment is $5 AUD. Pictures of the mother plants can be found on my website. UPDATE: The auction ends Dec 25, 2018 at 11:59am NSW time. I'm cutting the auction off early I do not plan on offering these seeds to the general public until sometime next year and some not at all due to low supplies. This auction is for one seed pack (15-20 seeds per pack) for ALL of the following TPM hybrids: TPM x Peru Blue TPM x Huarazensis TPM x Zelly (2 or more Zelly pollen donors) TPM x Pach Lima3 TPM x Variegated Red Grandiflorus TPM x Scopulicola TPM x Bridgesii Lee TPM x Bridgesii KGC (Killer Green Cactus) TPM x Colossus TPM x Zelly3,Zelly7,Zelly20,Zelly21,Zelly26 Icaros x TPM Peru Blue x TPM Huarazensis x TPM Pach Jessica x TPM Peru Bonny x TPM Colossus x TPM Peru Clyde x TPM Pach Lima3 x TPM Bridgesii Lee x TPM (Huarazensis x Scopulicola) x TPM Malo4 x TPM Malo4 is a Scopulicola x Huarazensis hybrid (SS02xSS01) x TPM Huanucoensis x TPM Peru Blue x TPC revert bonus: Scopulicola x TPM if the fruit have ripened by the end of Auction

update 8 mailed, 8 delivered. now we can auction off the cheat sheet numbers

the linage on my tree can be traced back to withdrawl clinic who confirms it to be colubrina Since a caapi thrives & a few psychotria viridis survive my winters i suspect a yopo would do just fine here

6 delivered, 2 lost one guy backed out

As of today (1-16-19) eight TPM packages mailed to Aus & NZ have arrived in country & three of those eight have been delivered......(mailed on 1-9-19)....... when all have been delivered i will pm the cheat sheets......

As easily as it could be Mr Evil, so too could it be Mr Genius.... If i know EG, you'll probably score more points referring to him as Mr Genius rather than Mr Evil.... but yeah, chemical burn although in some circles of thought it could be a severe calcium/ magnesium deficiency...

You do realize this is the SEED & PLANT SALES forum and not the WANTED forum correct?

horrible winds today blew off some pods, some pretty dried out, some still green. So i went exploring....knife in hand i split open a few pods...one still pretty green and a dried out one.....the dried out pod seems to have a couple fully mature seeds inside whereas the green one had seeds that appeared to be fully formed but still had green (and soft) seed shells. From what I've just observed & hearing from the source of my plant I've determined the best time to pick the pods is after they've dried on the tree but before they split. green pods are too unripened dried pod is just right

i made a joke that only noobs would fall for....although my bridge melty is finally of mature size & age to actually produce a bud....if its in the cards to do so... & yeah, if so there will be pics of the maturing bud up until it flowers

Thanks for bidding mates!

Edited: Torsten informed me SPiRALSHiFT's bids weren't showing up as his posts were still under mod review status; I think we're all happy to have him on board.

Updated TPM listings & end date & time.....

i worry not about spines or anything else...toss some soil in a pot, add cutting, then more soil, then stand 4-5 bricks vertical between the cutting & the pot if there's room, if not then big rocks & leave it that way til its rooted. bricks or rocks stabilize the cutting & add warmth to the soil which promotes root growth.

had the same thing occur when the weeping black rot attacked the apical meristem of a new pup turned out to be a blessing in disguise; one branch flowered last yr & the other branch flowered this yr

Perhaps something a bit more feminine such as garters & stockings?

to truly test for self fertile a person would have to isolate or cover the flower to prevent opening prior to all pollinating insects / bats etc retiring for the evening and then covered back up after hand pollination to prevent any further pollination by insects.

in a nutshell, by vibration and frequency.

In my realm of expereinces, T. spachianus is self fertile and every other trich I've encountered that has flowered has proven to be self infertile.

the answer to your question is yes.
