    It's a shame I saw this thread after the party, I would have been keen for a meet up with you guys. Party was great as usual (5th Psyfari for me now). Nice work on the staging altenate :thumbsup:.

    Hi all

    A few months back there was a big scop orgy (between 5 flowering plants) at my place which resulted in 5 nice looking fruits of pure scop seed. However, I got busy for a few days at work and some sort of grey/green mold has infected most of the fruits. Some only have a little bit and I will get the seeds out today, but some have just turned into lumps of mold. Thing is, it looks like the mold has eaten away all of the flesh and left the seeds behind. Do you guys reckon the seeds will still be good if I wash them out and put them in a bit of diluted hydrogen peroxide or something?

    Thanks,

    T.E.

    Could be the name, or maybe it just didn't make it into their collections. I'm pretty sure most of the clones sold by SAB are ones that they have collected through trades over the years or grown themselves, and you'll notice that they don't sell a lot of the Victorian specimens.

    Psycho0 is pretty common though due to the fact that it grows like a weed - I have some big ones in the ground that have already put on 2 feet this season. PD used to sell heaps of it and last year or the year before was selling 50 and 100 foot lots on eBay.

    Hi TheExplorer, well that would actually be possible. It looks similar to it. Would love to see more pics showing Yowie at a bigger Size. I have a Yowie but it´s not as big as the ones i´ve seen in oz.

    That's just what I have seen some people say, and a popular eBay cactus seller was selling a similar looking plant as pallarensis a while ago. Me personally, I think Yowie is a wild pachanoi form.

    Man my yowie looks way different to that... I seen a plant the other day that reminded me of yowie and it was listed as something other than pachanoi...one of those trichocereus I'd never heard the name of before. I'll try to find it.

    I've seen some people theorise that Yowie may be a T.pallarensis due to the longer spines.

    I know where you are coming from OP, I've had similar experiences (even pictures can be deceiving), but I'm not sure a weight system will work. I mean it might work for stock standard tricho cuts, but it doesn't take into account: the rareness of different plants, the fluctuating weights of cactus, and the different weights between species. Plus as you said there could be issues regarding legality (cuttings are borderline as they are).

    If a seller isn't willing to provide you with more pictures or more info just don't deal with them. If they are dishonest in their dealings and unwilling to fix the situation then you can leave feedback in their trade rep thread.

    Every plant is different IMO. I have some that will throw out 4-8 pups every time I cut them, and others that take a full season to produce 1. The ones that struggle to pup put on more mass if I just leave them.

    That's a nice pach in picture 1, is it a particular clone?
