Water stress can cause them to look like that especially when germinating/growing in straight CSS like you are.

Did you see this website?

I don't know if it was the that specific clone which was the issue or maybe a latent infection that neither I nor the person who sent it to me noticed. In any case the poor things dehydrated to death. I've only had one cutting rot on me before rooting, but I'm fairly sure it had a latent infection. I've rooted about every way mentioned without any problems (except for the previously noted exception). Now I root in dry soil with intermittent watering during growing season and sometimes like Archaea does if I don't have time to pot it before it throws out roots or during winter. It's very humid (>85% outside) here year round if that makes any difference. Even indoors humidity is 40-65+% with A/C.

Terscheckii is one of the more cold hardy Trichocereus species. They can handle -10 C with little to no damage even on tips even if it's been fairly wet.

Sounds like Thai (nearly 100% certain) not Japanese.

I have had two cuttings both from the same T. bridgesii semi-montrose shrivel up and die before throwing roots when all of the other cuts they were stored with from the same time period (~4 months) survived just fine.

Crosses are named Mother X Father. Nitrogen knows this so I'd bet the seeds came from the TPM pollen he sent mel.

Indeed. I tried to track down a copy of SC2 to look up a few references from journal articles to no avail. All ILL requests were fruitless and I never managed to find a copy for sale. At least for the sake of making these works accessible it seems wise...

This phenomenon was described over 100 years ago. I've attached a journal article that may be of interest. Economic_Botany-Krikorian_Catha_edulis-1985(39)_4_514-521.pdf In the description of the striking rate based on alternate vs. opposite growth, it is claimed that only branches with opposite growth flower and fruit. Does this match with your observations, planthelper?
