Can you try to gentle scrub it off? Doubt it´s anything pathological. Probably corking or scarring. Some of these could also be related to root formation. If this doesn´t get worse (or can be scrubbed off) it´s nothing I´d worry about.

Not enough nutrients. It needs more fertilizer. It´s probably nitrogen deficiency, but there are other nutrients it could probably use as well. Just use a good all-in-one fertilizer and it´ll be back to normal soon.

Counted 10 posts above, so if there's no spots left that's cool, otherwise I'd love to get in on this.
Yes, happy to include you as well. So I will get the seeds shipped within the next few days and you can start right away when you got them. Good Luck!

Hey guys, great to see this post getting some traction. I will get in touch with everyone who sent me messages but it´ll take a few days. Got a very busy weekend at the shop, but will catch up on that asap. I´ll try to send seeds to everyone who really intends to grow them and post photos, so maybe I will send more than ten. Just make sure to post some photos later on, because T. santaensis is rare as hell and I´d love to see them grow on the long term.

Hey EG, I'm definitely keen on this if there's still a space open! Would love to graft some of those seeds and would be stoked if I won the book!
Yes, send me your address and I´ll get them out to you.
-
Hey mate, great to have you in!
Let me know when your copy of the book has arrived by the way. Wanna make sure you got it. -

@Alpineswift Well you don´t need to send me anything, apart from the postage for the book in case you are one of the two winners of the book. I definitely take Paypal for the shipping costs. To participate just send me your address and I´ll send you the seeds for free. The competition is mostly grafting, but if you don´t have any stocks you can just sow them out normally. It´s a big disadvantage in regards to the time though.

Okay cool, just send me your shipping address and I´ll get them out to you. I am always glad when I can give something back to this community and I kept some books particularly for this case. bye Eg

Hey folks, there´s a new grafting competition in my Grafting thread. I will give away some seeds of Trichocereus santaensis and Trichocereus scopulicola to max. 10 participants. If you want to participate you need to graft some of the seedlings and post photos here. I will pick the two best looking photos and award their owners a copy of my book THE SAN PEDRO GROUP. The competition runs for 6 months, so get in asap. To get in, make a post and send me your address in a pm and I´ll get the seeds to you.

Okay, I am reactivating this thread with a new giveaway and grafting competition. This time it´s Trichocereus santaensis (T. huanucoensis belongs to this group of plants).
Trichocereus santaensis & Trichocereus scopulicola competition
Ten participants in this competition, I will provide some free Trichocereus santaensis and Trichocereus scopulicola seeds for grafting. All participants need to be ready to graft when the seeds arrive (in about 4 weeks) and I will pick the two best look grafts and gift their owners a free copy of my SAN PEDRO book. Members that cannot graft due to whatever reasons can participate, but it´s really a big disadvantage and if you enter please post some photos in the future. I really prefer graftings, but I won´t turn someone away who can´t graft. The purpose of the competition is also to introduce new members to the world of grafting. I am sure you´ll love it, even if you´re not very good at it. You live and learn.
Value 88 Euro (shipping costs of 15 Euro need to be paid though).
so guys, all participants get in touch with me through pm and send me your shipping addresses. The competition will run for six months and the sooner you start the better. If the participants need more time it can be prolonged, but only as a worst case scenario. To participate, make a posting here and send me a pm with your address. Worldwide of course.
Good luck!-

Hey godless, it´s definitely a Trichocereus candicans. I tend to believe the label. Trichocereus gladiatus belongs to Trichocereus candicans.
-
That rules out T. gladiatus and potentially T. neolamprochlorus as well. T. gladiatus only gets up to 65 cm tall and T. neolamprochlorus is described as "relatively low". At that size, it can only be a regional form of T. taquimbalensis / T. werdermannianus. The spines are more typical for T. werdermannianus, while the skin is more typical for T. taquimbalensis. It should be something in between.

It´s a plant from the T. candicans v. gladiatus and T. neolamprochlorus group. They all grow together and are closely related.
Good find, hope to see some more photos in the future. They look almost like T. werdermannianus or T. taquimbalensis, but they are from Argentina. How big is it? If you get the time, please measure the diameter of the areoles and the ribs at the bottom.-

The same happened to Trout with one of his KK337s. If I remember correctly, he had to get surgery to have the thorn removed.

Hey guys, I just wrote a final update on Indiegogo and I want to share it here too. There were many people who bought a copy outside of Indiegogo and it just feels great to share this final update on SAB too.
It´s my pleasure to let you know that all the books are shipped.
I literally just finished loading the last boxes on the Deutsche Post Truck and the books are on the way to y´all now. The first that will get them are EU and Germany, and the shipping time to non-EU countries is 2-6 weeks. Most will arrive sooner, but it also depends on the speed of the carrier in your home countries. All books are shipped, without exceptions and all books are numbered, signed and stamped. The books look terrific and we are all very proud.
Together with the book, you will also get some additional flyers and postcards to make sure you have plenty of fun when you unpack everything. I tried to give everyone the lowest number possible, but there were situations when I went with a higher number in favor of a more beautiful book. I wanted to make sure you all get perfect books without any scratches or dents and that was my top priority. All numbers from the campaign are below 300 and come stamped with the official Trichocereus.net stamp of approval.
;)
Nothing more to say now and I don´t want to drag this on for too long. Thank you all for your support and patience. It´s been an honor that I was given the chance to write this book for you and I hope you will enjoy your copy of THE SAN PEDRO GROUP. If you have any questions or in case the shipping takes unnaturally long, just let me know!

Hey mate, that´s Haageocereus acranthus.

Hey guys, thank you very much.
Greatly appreciated. Didn´t really celebrate because I was packing all the books today. I wanna make sure you can unpack them asap. Hope you like it! -

Hey mate, on the first look I´d say it´s Trichocereus pasacana. The spines and areoles are too different from the ones on a T. werdermannianus and T. terscheckii is usually not so spiny at that size.

Hey guys, just an update here on SAB. The books were just cleared by customs and shipping starts as soon as I have the books here.

Totally agree that this is caused by way too much water and cold weather. The splitting is the direct result of the plant taking in more water than it can hold and the most of the other problems are caused by a combo of too much rain, cold weather and not the right soil. The soil is the least of the problems though. I think it´s just the wrong climate for this way of growing cacti outside. If you are from the Netherlands and intend to overwinter the plant outside I do not think it will make it. Very few cacti can manage the wet European winters and Trichocereus are none of them. You will need a greenhouse or something like that.

Tried that because, you know, science, but I didn´t feel anything.
