mr b.caapi Posted May 19, 2009 Just wondering what the Ethno value of this strain is? Has anyone had any experiences with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiral Posted May 19, 2009 its a fat ass chunky peruvianoid and its looks are beautiful....I have heaps of young seedlings and they exhibit some strange growth whilst young like twisting and dropping ribs and the apical meristam acting strange but they are a mightly looking cactus...I expect most are too young in OZ to have been bioassayed yet. H edit I'll show pics of my icaro collection when I get back from bushwalking today..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hebrew Posted May 19, 2009 reports from overseas have been high yeilding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shruman Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) I dunno, seems alright, from memory they pull about 1% (just checked & 1.6% was the highest I saw with average around 1%) from the commercial material but that is only outer green flesh. Have'nt seen anything about people using home grown whole cactus. Bit of a looka though. Edited May 20, 2009 by shruman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitrogen Posted May 23, 2009 That doesn't say anything about how potent the seedlings will be though - and it's not clear which particular strains the seeds are from no? A given strain/clone of Peruvianus is not self fertile or is it? So the seeds are hybrids from a mix of T peruvianus plants I would think... The seedlings are very attractive and fat little things I can say that in any case... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.dg Posted May 23, 2009 very nice plants, dont know if the seedlings will have the same characteristics as the dried material from Icaro, but if it does its a pretty good one to grow icaros dried material from a few years back was 1.2 1.4%, where as my local PC was only .5% or LESS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
