  1. I see you're now advertising the first plant for sale as "peruvianus X knuthianus" on Gumtree and here. Have you found out that was actually the exact cross of this plant, or did you just decide to plonk that name on it for the ads? I mean, obviously you can do whatever you like, but to me it seems disingenuous to put the details of a hybrid on the plant when you don't know that's actually what it is. Why not sell it as "trichocereus sp." or trichocereus peruvianus since that's what you got it labelled as, you can always put a question mark after the name, like "trichocereus peruvianus ??", or even something like "Trichocereus aff. peruvianus", with the "aff." meaning it's something close to that family but maybe not an exact representation of peruvianus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species_affinis Just my thoughts, you probably know tricho people like labels, and it almost seems mean to make up a hybrid label. Having said all that, I really think it's a great looking plant and if you were selling smaller cuttings to post I'd take one.
  2. I have fresh, hand pollinated Scop X Scop seeds available (all plants used are the completely spineless variety). If you'd like to grow some of them please PM me. Pics of the parents.
  3. I like the bags that are intended to be used to protect fruit from birds. You can buy them from hardware stores in a couple of sizes and they fit over very easily and give plenty of room for the flower to open. I also like that they're big enough to put back over the opened flower after you've finished pollinating. They're about $4-$5 for a pack of 3. I think you can get them a lot cheaper online. https://www.bunnings.com.au/diamond-econetting-25-x-43cm-white-netting-sleeve-3-pack_p3041121

Post what you want in this thread and then send me a PM. You can either have just one of the crosses, or one pack of each cross. Parents details below.

  8. I made and sent out lots of Psycho0 X Yowie and Yowie X Psycho0 seeds last year. I sent some to Mysubtleascension so those ones could have been from mine. Hybrids I've seen with scop as mother and a spinier plant as father really, really often have more/longer spines that the mother scop. I have a number of different scop X bridgesii plants and some scop X peru too. Some other scop crosses too, but they're a bit young to see proper traits. That Scop X Tig of mine that DB put up is in full sun and has some ~2inch long spines now as that pic is a couple of months old. It's pretty fat and has a scop-like body shape though. I do have a couple of Roseii 1 X scop plants that look heaps like a cordobensis too. They're only 1 foot tall each at the moment, but the similarity is pretty striking currently. To me at least.
  9. Yep, they have been under lights for the last 11 months. Mine were sown on Boxing day 2015 so have some along pretty well for 11 months I reckon. I have had them under a 130 watt growlush CFL which I like to use for my tricho seeds. They are now outside and will stay there. They will be worked into pretty much full sun over the next couple of months.
  10. Nitrogen 2015 #4 - TPM x Sharxx Blue A heap more mutants in this batch, something like 75% showing monstrose traits, some look to be pretty interesting forms too!
  11. Nitrogen 2015 #1 - Lumberjackus X TPM. - it's about time I re-potted all of these. I will graft a bunch of the Nitrogen 2015 range, (1-6), to large trichos soon too. Only two seedlings showing cresting/mutation so far. But I'm sure some will go weird later in life.

    Hopi Blue Corn Seed Giveaway 2016

    Hi Mac, I have plenty left so if you do need some you can send me a PM. Also, I personally got 100% germ rate with the 30 kernels I sowed myself. So it's very viable seed.
  13. I have a bunch of seed I saved from last years corn field to give away. (Thanks to @El Presidente Hillbillios for giving me my seeds last year!) My corn was grown with no other corn growing nearby. 8 packs to give away, post below and send me your address in PM. (Australia only) If anyone happens to have any bloody butcher corn seeds they'd like to send me in return I would be very grateful.
  14. Thanks Zelly! I will keep an eye on SAB then and see if I catch the offering here. If it helps my case, I don't have a cat. TPQC x Huarazensis and some Scop X red Grandi (variegated) seedlings. This will be their year to shine.
  15. Hi Zelly, I've been checking your site and awaiting your update emails in anticipation to get hold of this particular cross but it appears I missed the sales of the TPM X Scop seeds. Did those end up making it to public sales or did they all get distributed in some other way?
  16. I'd love some help with uploading pictures to this new version of the SAB forums. Basically, I'd like to be able to upload them so they display in a similar way to how they used to. As small thumbnails which people can choose if they want to click on and load the larger image. You could choose to have these thumbnails display in a horizontal line next to each other, or make them display under each other. Old threads that were created in this way still seem to retain the same look and usability as they did previously, but I'm yet to see someone make a post/thread that behaves the same way since the forum was updated to a new version slightly earlier in 2016. See this link for an example of the "old style". You'll notice that the OP and another post has the old style where you can choose to enlarge the images or not, then the later posts made in August 2016 the images are the newer, large style. I prefer to be able to upload images as thumbnails that can be enlarged rather than as full sized images by default for a few reasons, including ease of reading posts with some detail that use pics to explain things, and not having to load full size images for every single picture before I can read the thread. Threads like the "What did you do to your cactus" and "Tricho flowers" threads will become huge and unwieldy to use and load each time. When you want to open it up (especially on mobile or slow connections), and just read the latest post every image in the thread is now downloaded in full. So for some new posts I'd like to make that require a number of pics to explain the gist of what I'm getting at I'd really like to be able to do it in the old way. So I can write a line or two, show a pic or two to explain what I'm taking about, then another line of text followed by the next picture/s and so on. Hopefully people understand what I'm getting at here..... BTW, I did try and add pics to the gallery first, thinking I could then insert them into a post as a thumbnail you can choose to enlarge or not, but I couldn't seem to make it work like that. It was still a large image or nothing. I'm hoping there is just something simple I'm missing that means this is still possible. Some guidance would be appreciated! Thanks, SABers! Zed

    T.Pach/Peru/Scop?

    I reckon this is PC, personally. I have PC that display this same zebra type pattern. Still has the same spination and sawtooth appearance as PC.

    Fastest Growing Pachanoi

    I find psycho0 when in ground to be super fast, but I also have an in ground PC that is very quick. Capel pachanoi has grown very fast for me too, more than tripling in size in 13 months from an unrooted cutting. (as a bonus Capel also looks really sexy!) ;) Below are 3 pics of a pup off of my SAB pachanoi #2 that I mentioned a couple of posts above. I think it looks super similar to the Dood's "OSP", but maybe Watertrade can chime in one day (if he sees this) and he might remember if his pach was called something when he got it from SAB back in the day. I've only had my pachanoi #2 for one summer season so far but it grew very quickly considering it was quite small when I received it, it has at least quadrupled in size over a year.

    Fastest Growing Pachanoi

    I saw you mentioned this plant a while ago, Dood, and that it came from SAB store. Do you think it could be the plant they currently sell as "pachanoi 2"? It seems to look very similar..... Link to the SAB store plant I'm talking about. http://shaman-australis.com.au/shop/echinopsis_pachanoi_2_san_pedro_small_plant_pr_1096.php

    Icaro DNA ?

    I think it looks more like Roseii #1 than Len, at least it's quite different to how my Len's look. (my Lens are a greyer glaucous rather than "blue" glaucous, they also have more spines and longer centrals, the centrals also always point downward on my Len's on any growth lower than 10cm under the growing tip) I would just leave it labelled as peruvianus for now and continue to watch it grow for a while longer and maybe try to make an ID again a bit later. And get yourself a Len and a Roseii #1 so you can watch them grow next to each other, no way you will regret having those 2 in the collection anyway. Bit of an older pic, but here's a Len to compare. (from SAB store)

    How big can lophs get?

    Check out Philocacti's big "button". Thing is fucking mental. http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?/topic/27888-the-life-of-a-grafted-button/&do=findComment&comment=526347
  23. I'm not too surprised you said you didn't think the ebayer in question that I mentioned owned that property. From the email exchanges I had with the ebayer a while ago he didn't own the plants, he said they were on a friends property and that he had "access to them". The guy selling them on ebay also wasn't actually into cactus, he just liked that he could sell them for money, he certainly wasn't a cactus addict with the passion for them himself. It's a pity that people weren't respecting his property, but I can't say that surprises me at all. At least you know where they are and maybe you can go back one day and chat to the owner again.
  24. That short spined fat one you have close ups of is clearly the plant that did the rounds from an eBay seller called "kerstincactus" seller called Ben. He was selling from the Riverland in SA. His seller account has been cancelled on eBay now though. Most people call it "South Australian Short Spined Terscheckii". or SA SS Tersch. Absolutely fucking gorgeous.
