    One tip I have to stress for cleaning seeds with bleach or hydrogen pyroxide, do not do it after a pretreatment like a water soak or GA3 soak. I once was sowing 500 L. williamsii seeds and I pretreated them with GA3 (24 hour soak) then did a 15 minute bleach soak and it killed all of them. I had done the bleach treatment in the past with no issues on the same seeds. I suspect the seed shells were soft from the water soak and allowed the bleach to kill the embryo. Sorry to go off topic. I don't know where to find neem, lol.

    It looks like you have seed pods right next to the flower that have already gone through fowering. If I were you I'd let them mature and check for seeds.

    Are there any viable seeds in those pods? By the way, I've never seen one like that!! Mine has never flowered and it's got flat pups, but the same exact color and patterning as that one. Interesting plant!! hostilis

    It looks like a little chubby loph dude cartoon. Haha. Legs arms and a head with a super fat body.

    I water all my trichs once every other week in the summer and they do great. And it's super hot and dry in my climate.

    I was talking the stock shooting pups. And honestly I wouldn't up the feeding/watering if it's not really growing. But that's just my opinion. Maybe it will help? Do they get a lot of light?

    I've had certain grafts that just don't want to grow very well. I believe it's like Rabelais said, sometimes the vascular connection isn't very good. Most of my grafts with T. pachanoi as the stock grow pretty damn fast. So i don't think it's the stock that is the problem. Unless it's unhealthy or stressed or something. Does they try shooting pups constantly? In my experience the grafts with shitty connections constantly try to shoot pups while the grafts with great connections only try in the beginning a few times and then avert all energy to the scion. If the stock isn't shooting pups and the scion isn't really growing I would guess that the entire plant is unhealthy.

    I never got any collection number with the seeds. It was just labelled "Trichocereus validus" And thanks for the ID!!

    Your wish is granted! It grows super slow. Could also be slow due to the fossilized stock that it's on, but I don't care. It's going slowly but surely.

    One of my many variegated A. asterias seedlings. I cut all but 1 pup off and grafted them onto other stocks. Unfortunately I didn't think of the fact that it would leave a huge surface area of open wound on the plant. The plant dried out pretty bad, but I think it's okay now.

    Mutant. My clone B has a 16" (40cm) pup on it. Granted it's skinny. I'm just thrown off by the plant clumping and having areoles only on the lower sections of the pups. Which are clone B characteristics. But I don't want to debate it anymore really. I've had mine for 2.5 years by the way.
  13. hostilis
    In my opinion that one in the picture you showed is definitely not a clone A. I would call it a clumping form. Maybe not the typical clone B (still looks like it to me.) But we can just agree to disagree I guess.

    I should add that I haven't made the payment yet. They haven't sent an invoice. So I still have my money.
  15. hostilis
    Here's an example. This is clone B when grown in great conditions. They get real big. Here's the long form. Not my plants. Just examples.
  16. hostilis
    I think it is. They grow big if you give them lots of root space, light, and nutrients. The etiolated ones look to just be in really small pots and not getting much light.
  17. hostilis
    What I was saying is you have all clumping clones. Clone A doesn't clump like that though. It grows into really long sections. So you just have lots of clone B (clumping) if you ask me. Some are etiolated and some are healthy.

    I ordered from a really weird website that had some photos of a new mammillaria species on it. The email about the order went to [email protected] though. So I'm guessing it's through them. They just said "Thanks for the order" with no invoice. I kept asking with no response for a while if they meant to send an invoice or something. Finally after a month they said "When seeds are ready to ship you'll get invoice." Still haven't heard back. Been about 2 months now.

    Those both (monstrose bridgesii) look like clumping forms to me. Where did you get them from?
  20. hostilis
    I get that kinda black goo and scaring stuff on my penis a lot.

    I bet if you put your clone in the conditions mine grows in it would grow a couple hairs. If I keep them outside they're bald as fuck, but under flouros with lots of water they start to grow a couple hairs from some areoles.
  22. hostilis
    Huachuma, those are the same two clones I have. Although they both have glochids. "Bald clone" (small plant) "Hairy clone" It's good to know that it has a species name!
  23. hostilis
    Nice!!! What is that spiny dude and the furry ones?
  24. hostilis
    And I have heard of people getting fast growing lophs out of AV seeds. They usually think it's a different species. I've never seen one with tuft and fast growth rate yet still having the yellow fruits though.
  25. hostilis
    I did cross one flower back with the dwarf AV and got seeds. I'll plant them and maybe graft one and see what happens. I also have a ton of these all on their own roots. Can't wait till they're older. It definitely has the AV fruit and some of the AV flower characteristics (White pistil.) Will be interesting to see how it plays out. I also used pollen from this one on a dwarf AV and williamsii. Both produced seeds, but the williamsii makes seeds even without pollination so it'll be hard to tell if that one took.
