As small as that specimen is, I might forego grafting and just remove any normal pieces of growth for a bit.
The reason I say this is that when I have grafted newly turned crested specimens or even older ones for that matter, they do often revert back to normal form for a bit. How long that bit is seems to vary from a few weeks, to months, or even longer.
Of course, you could also graft a small piece of your new mutant to something and check out that property right away. Just leave the majority of your crested specimen intact.

@TheMooseZeus I planted mine directly in the ground so that is kind of cheating. I watered it daily however. Ground was mostly sand as I planted my BHWR on a small island. Again, I call it cheating when the conditions are that good. Definitely think of upsizing the pot though as my suspicion is the pot may be too small.

I don't know about some plants, but I know my BHWR flowered and set seed as soon as it reached the top of the tree which for me took 2 seasons as I started late if memory serves.

Looks like all you need are some high quality seeds to graft now that you have started collecting your grafting stock already.

I believe Torsten will post more info when it's running smoothly
This is the first I have heard of this, but after a brief search for Trichocereus and seeing much san pedro on ebay I am a bit perplexed.
As concerns paypal, I know some very nice Trichocereus hybridizers that utilize paypal for sale of cacti as well as seeds.
Do you think those will be affected as well. Any links to this information on either?
Sorry if all of this is common knowledge, but I don't do most social networking platforms outside of forums like this.

@Gimli Frosty Pink was one of my first Brugmansia. While Frosty Pink is not as fragrant as Jamaican Yellow or Isabella, I have Frosty Pink to thank for many of my early hybrids.
She is an exceptional seed setter.

It could have been that they were simply impaled a little too deep when grafted.
It wasn't major and they still kept growing.
The main button just stalled, but produced a heap of off-sets.
Given the heap of offsets...
You should try this again, but with a nice caespitosa. That might look truly freaky.

Hot pepper sprays on a weekly basis are what I always used for my Psychotria. Just another tool in your arsenal if you should decide to go down that route.
Once your Psychotria is actively growing and gained some size remove mature leaves that have turned dark green and fold them in half and or into an accordion shape. Slide those leaves in the ground like that and keep humid and wet and you will likely have 30 more new Psychotria plants from each leaf in a matter of months.
Wish you luck, both grow like weeds once you get them established.

I see you have some specials!
Nice collection and a testament to why more people should grow from seed.

As well meaning as this is... and if memory recollects correctly some cultures are cannibals and some eat the ashes of the dead and such... I just don't think I could bring myself to eat the dead without an intermediary in-between. Thus, the sacred entheogen forest, vegetable garden, or such would be my personal preference. Not knocking the other, just not something I could stomach.
Stranger in a strange land was a good book, but I honestly haven't read that book since I was a young teenager. I should probably revisit it.

Your giant specimens look much larger than my seedlings and they aren't even grafted. Great job getting these up to this size on their own roots so fast. Looks like you had greater than 50% germination rate as well which for this cross?
Excellent results my friend!
