mutant Posted July 27, 2014 re>> TPQC genetics >>> ???? what does this mean - that column is coming from a monstrosa plant? sorry but I lost you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dionysus Posted July 27, 2014 Trichocereus pachanoi 'quasi cristata', i think. a plant that formed crest due to snail bite in nitrogen's collection if i remember correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted July 27, 2014 re>> TPQC genetics >>> ????what does this mean what this means is my plant and Nitrogens snail bitten, 'quasi crested' T. pachanoi plant are genetic clones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted July 27, 2014 oh , I see, I might have one of this... seems pretty straight so far... this supposed to be peruvianus or pachanoi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted July 28, 2014 pach The T. pachanoi "quasi-cristata" (TPQC) is a non-PC pachanoi type that grew crested after an apparent snail attack - maybe it is genetic in there somewhere and the snail attack caused it to come out, or maybe it is purely from the infection - regardless its a beautiful pachanoi though I haven't taken good care of it these past couple years..

mutant Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I see, thanks... you see some nice nook member had sent me a "quasi-monstrosa" pachanoi, which felt strange as it doesn't feat a single monstrosa sign. I should suppose (from what I have read and seen) that nitrogens specimen kept the monstrosa tendencies but still reverts to normal growth, I wonder if I could hope mine would go monster some time? anyways, here it is (does it look right??) and here are some buds ^^^^ this is Yowie pachanoi (NZ) , probably the same with the ozzie, a beautiful and characteristic strain. This specimen comes with awesome scars and all from the recent disasters which I think make him even more beautiful! Edited July 31, 2014 by mutant 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Optimystic Posted August 7, 2014 i dunno but whats the big fat blue one? thats an awesome cactus! i don't think anyone really knows what a stenocereus hystrix looks like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted August 8, 2014 whats the big fat blue one? had it for years in that puny 1 gallon pot...... no buds yet but getting closer....... 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted August 8, 2014 Australians dont use gallons they use liters. But a US gallon is smaller than other gallons. It 1 US gallon = about 3.8L while an Australian (or imperial gallon) gallon = 4.55 L. fuck your fucking gallons 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Zelly, i know this One but forgot the name. Flower looks like a cereus. Will check...actually don´t think it´s Stenocereus Hystrix. Better pics couldn´t hurt. Edited August 8, 2014 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) It appears I got these buds by letting the plant get a little taller than I'm used too. Gave be bursitis or tendinitis of the hip moving it for which I'm still suffering nearly four months latter. I'm happy to have the flowers, but would give them up to get rid of the pain. The first photos newer than the second...if you noticed. I think one of the buds will open tomorrow night with three others soon to follow. ~Michael~ Edited August 11, 2014 by M S Smith 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted August 11, 2014 what name do you give this plant Michael? flower buds / floral tubes looks like a pc pach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted August 11, 2014 wow zelly you ID pachanoi strain from the floral tubes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted August 12, 2014 what name do you give this plant Michael? flower buds / floral tubes looks like a pc pach Yeah PC, these three limbs are from the first Trichocereus I ever got. I still remember buying the single plant off Bob Smoley's wife at Gardenworld in Gibsonia, PA, only to have Bob drive up as I'm leaving and offer a little snicker along with a little conversation and humor. That was 20 years ago. Hopefully it will be fully open in the morning when there's better light. ~Michael~ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted August 12, 2014 Hopefully it will be fully open in the morning when there's better light. If you can, visit the flower 10pm - midnight, it will be fully open by then and the fragrance will certainly 'make your day'. Also, photography works out great with the background being all black, with (usually) just the subject illuminated by the camera flash. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
