That looks nothing like the one I bought as ming thing. Mine looks like this.
Dark skin, no red spines, a tiny bit of white fuzz, doesn't crest or variegate. Altthough mine was labelled as Cereus forbesii monstrose "Ming Thing"
And mutant, I've seen plants being sold as spineless myrtillocactus monstrose that look just like that before.

Here's an exapmle. This one is way older and it's a lot smaller. It's a dwarf alberto showing no characteristics of diffusa. I have 10 others on grafts too and none of them are shoing the characteristics of the one I suspect is a hybrid. No fast growth rate, no tufts, no big white flowers.
Loc. Zacatecas

I have other albertos on grafts too and they are not acting like this. Same conditions. I can tell which seedlings are this type and which are the dwarf alberto types. This type acts the same on all of the grafts I've done with it. I have a few of them. The full on dwarf ones grow suuuuper slow even on grafts and they do not grow tufts. Although they have yellow fruits and start flowering at 1cm So it's not the grafting that's causing it.
This one is a normal dwarf non-tufted alberto type (Loc. coahuila)

I didn't know this. Good to know. Although I've never seen an alberto with a tuft or growth rate like this. Do you think it is possible it could be crossed with diffusa?

Hello everyone. I wanted to get your thoughts on this. I think I have an L. alberto hybrid. It came from some Lophophora alberto seeds I have (before I got ripped off via trade) and this plant came out of it. It has characteristics of aberto and those of other non-dwarf species. I think it may possibly be an alberto x diffusa. It has had many fruits and they all have been white/yellow and have the same citrus-ish taste of the pure yellow alberto fruits. Rather than the strawberry-ish taste of the pink williamsii fruits.
Alberto qualities:
Flowers at 1cm
White pistil in the flower
Yellow fruits
Diffusa qualities.
Big tufts of fur
Fast growth rate
Big white flower
Here are some pictures of it.
First flower at a little over 1cm
Yellow fruit
More flower pictures
What do you guys think. Lophophora alberto hybrid or just a different type of variation of alberto?
Thanks,

I'd kill for one of those Azureocereus Hertlingianus.

Yeah, I see pilosocereus azureus, but no trichs. The left and right ones on the bottom look to be a different species than P. azureus, but still don't really look like trichs to me.

Everytime I've seen one flower it was the big round leaved clone. I don't think I even have that one. Never seen the other clones flower. I've got two different clones. I call one the "Hairy clone" and the other the "Bald clone" for obvious reasons.

In my experience if they are plumped up with water from rainfall and it freezes they're gonners. Most trichs anyways.

I always wondered what would happen if you grafted a flower bud! Probably would just be a pointless waste of a flower though.

I left some out this winter. Got down to -4f and it killed everything other than my echinocereus and escobaria.

yes
Well.... what is it?

I like fat plumped up globulars myself, but also I like the more flattened, habitat looking specimen.

I read this a super long time ago. Helped me figuring out how to make mineral substrate.

I had one etiolated bridgesii go 4 ribbed. I grafted it and then it kept on with 4 ribs. I cut it and it pupped 5 ribbed pups. I think sometimes it does have to do with the plant not being stressed.

Bridgesii isn't very good for grafting stock IME.
-
Yes it is riterii. And thanks!!
-
I can't say for sure yet if it's a crest, but I can hope!!

It appears God has blessed me this solstice with a crested aztekium pup. Keeping my fingers crossed.

That's just what it's called mutant. Maybe the cv part isn't in there, but I recall seeing it on the labels. I don't know the inner workings of Altman's clone namers. lol. And maybe the reason it's so slow is because a lot of the time mutants are slower than the normal healthy clones.

Lophophora alberto-vojtechii x diffusa?

I should also mention that the plant in the original post is self fertile. The other alberto's aren't. Not sure what to think of that.
