Khala Posted December 13, 2011 Hey Got just checked it, what do you know...mycellium forming on the soil, the sticks were black with mould, plants had some mould, the plant material is blackening. I pulled the bag off sprayed it with disinfectant (dilute bleach) and got some sulfur onto the graft. Hopefully it survives, it's outside now and will dry out quickly. Thanks for the heads up haha. Now my room is full of mould though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cactuscarl Posted December 23, 2011 I just went and checked my grafts i had 3 that were growing 2 that i think have failed but I'm still holding out hope and 1 i did about 2 months before the comp and some fucking bug has got in and eaten all 3 good ones and a third of my older one that was 2cm didn't touch the other 2 or any of my 500 trichocereus seedlings just the 4 i wanted most FUCK! But I'm on holidays now so I'll get into a few more i don't think ill be able to catch up at this point but I'll give it a go. Just got a memory card too, to take some pics.

Thats got to suck If you still have seedlings graft some more. You are still in this remember we have to get one to flower Looking good Khala This is the best of mine so far with a couple of trich attempts one is grafted to a small pup The last two pics are one of my arios I am unsure how big they should be now as I had done one loph graft before and trich grafts grow really fast compared to these Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
