    Cereus peruvianus monstrose

    post-2583-1172985334_thumb.jpg

    Whats going on here then?

    post-2583-1172984177_thumb.jpg

    Here's another like yours MOSES.

    Where it is darker green was absolutely covered in scale.

    Scrubbed it all off with a dust pan brush.

    Is there such a strain that doesn't have ribs?

    Like the rounded limbs of bridgesii monstrose only columnar like pachanoi.

    As for gas exchange... I can't see how this could happen. CO2 is heavier so it sits at the bottom of the jar. The only way to remove it is like you say invert the jar.

    Theres your problem..

    You NEED gas exchange.

    Not AIR exchange but GAS exchange.

    The myc needs to breathe,

    but not be exposed to flowing air.

    During the incubation stage they like high CO2 Levels

    but not overly high.

    As your myc colonizes your substrate draws in oxygen.

    If this doesn't happen they'll stall for sure.

    Does that make sense?

    the only spores i have are (i think) panaeolus (see my post in Fungus Identification).

    that's my lowdown offer if bribery is outta the question. any dirty old print you've got lying around will do :wink:

    All good on the pan front sorry matey.

    Also i don't use dirty prints.

    Hi JD,

    i like them.Thanks for sharing! Keep on growing!

    What are

    1.) the trichs on the right side of the second pic? Do they belong to the KK242 Complex?

    2.) The two small Trichocereus Hybrids on the under left of pic 6? They look interesting!

    bye Eg

    1.) It was sold to me as "Unknown". I grabbed it because i thought it was T.peruvians of some sort.

    When i got it, it was one cactus with two colums. One day i found it on its side snapped in 3 places. Hence all the pups.

    2.) These were sold to me as T.spachianus.

    Very nice collection man - quite the all-rounder arent ya :P Spores like nothing else and a beautiful cacti collection to boot - hows your vascular ethnos?

    Thanks for sharing champ - I'm envious!

    My vascular's are fine they say, loving this warm weather.

    Thanks for asking.

    I checked Kmart here when I was aquiring all the necessities and they were nowhere to be found.

    Seems it varies from location to location.

    As far as my stalled jars go I don't think its a temp problem. There in absolute darkness at 27-29 deg C. I will try injecting some sterile water with a lil peroxide in it. Been mulling it over in my mind and am fairly certain its a moisture issue. The peroxide should give the myc a lil something extra to breath and fight off any infection that a prolonged incubation is suseptable to.

    The tub inside a tub incu chamber is my next project. Gonna need more room. The cakes are starting to pile up :) What AM I going to do with all these... er... edibles. :innocent_n:

    I would advise against this idea. Have you tried turning them upside down?

    In my experience myc will grow better when too dry rather than too wet.

    How's you're gas exchange also?

    I don't have any PVC crosses but just thought I'd share this.

    They have some nice greenhouses.

    http://www.gardenexpress.com.au/

    Just click "Garden Care" on the left side of the screen and an bunch of options

    load up including the one for their greenhouses.

    Cheers buddy but they're a bit out of my price range.

    This is the progress so far.

    Thanks to twenny47 for the design.

    Its so beautifully simple.

    post-2583-1172545547_thumb.jpg

    I didn't imagine cross pieces to be so hard to find though.

    Alrighty then.

    Got every piece but one for the construction of the greenhouse.

    I'm after 4 of these.

    post-2583-1172539213.jpg

    PVC Cross 25mm.

    I'v searched high and low for these but no one seems to sell them anymore.

    If anyone has any knocking around the place and can spare a few it would be most appreciated.

    Or if anyone has seen them somewhere i have yet to look, Please please let me know.

    Cheers big ears.

    JD
