nitrogen Posted September 21, 2012 The giveaway is now closed - everyone who has PM'd me is in, but I can't take any more people after this point.. A couple of these plants - the TPC and TPM I got at this little cactus and succulent shop which has since closed down - very out of the way type place - got them before I was into acquiring the named clones and such from the forums and that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Amazing job nitrogen! That is the first time I've seen photographic evidence of a cristate Tricho flowering. Interesting to see that it was a monstrose arm that flowered, rather than the crested part of the plant. Well done!!

naja naja Posted September 21, 2012 indeed tripsis, also I like how it appears that mature enough crests, when they do eventually throw a monstrose arm seem to be able to flower. Most crests in propagation must not flower I rekon cause they are hacked up too frequently and propagated and not left to mature like these beauties. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kykeion Posted September 21, 2012 That TPC is awesome! I love the huge crests, so much more interesting than the small fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitrogen Posted September 21, 2012 Yah that monstrose arm is interesting - they might not be able to flower right out of the crested parts, I'm not sure.. I did not think the thing would actually flower - when I saw the first tufts of fuzz poking out the areole I was like "what's that?".. The fruit itself should be ripe very shortly - kind of bannana shaped fruit it is - has a bend in it.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hookahhead Posted October 27, 2012 I got my seeds today, thank you soooo much man. I am excited to see what kind of funkyness comes out of this mix up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alkaloidal Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) the TPQC looks great! Edited October 27, 2012 by alkaloidal 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitrogen Posted October 27, 2012 Right - the seed code! Didn't want to confuse the customs people, even though all are permitted species. It is: 1 - TPM x N1 2 - Psycho0 x N1 3 - Psycho0 x TPM 4 - TPM x (SS02 x pachanoi) 5 - N1 x TPQC 6 - (SS02 x pachanoi) x TPM 7 - TPQC x TPM 8 - TPC x Juules, SS02, & (SS02 x pachanoi) Hope these work out most groovaliciously for everyone involved - I had some germination issues with them to start with, but they are coming up now (super stoked!). The TPC cross has been the quickest germinator for me, but the (SS02 x pachanoi) x TPM is pretty well 100% germinated and growing strong even though nothing happened for like 4 weeks- curious to know what others find. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
