GoOnThen Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Looking like the goods bogfrog and mushroomman. Has everyone just been grafting by just grabbing a seedling out of the tray or are you selecting one that looks a bit different.

Philocacti Posted April 9, 2013 i think you are referring to the tooth-pick, i put 2 in each tray to keep the plastic bags off of the seedlings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nitrogen Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) I'm stoked you got those seeds in Philo! Philocacti has been my dear brother from another continent for some years now - was bummed to hear the seeds hadn't made it.. My seedlings are getting big enough now that I can see the ones that have clear crest/monstrose characteristics, and am plucking them out to graft.. My first round of grafts though was just luck of the draw since they all just looked about like Philocacti's seedlings above - couple weeks old and that.. I've noticed that the TPC x and TPM x N1 crosses start out normal, and then get weird - whereas I'm seeing the TPMx(SS02 x pachanoi) going weird right off the bat more often..

Philocacti Posted April 10, 2013 thanks for the great words my brother, i'm really humbled by your words and all your gifts and in all honesty words can not do you any justice 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitrogen Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Check this pic out. Basically, when I sowed all these hybrids nothing germinated for over a month, and I was pretty devastated because I thought I'd screwed up the seed somehow by fertilizing the cacti heavily during fruiting - I was really very upset though after a nice mild tea journey I got more acceptance around it. The only hybrid seed that germinated during that 6 week period was the (SS02 x pachanoi) x TPM - and only a couple of the 40 or so seeds germinated. So I figured they were viable, but only a small percentage - so I sowed a whole bunch more figuring I'd get maybe 15 seedlings - much to my surprise and delight I checked them one day to find they were germinating like mad, and soon after that all the other hybrids started germinating as well. I think I just planted them too soon out of the fruit pod - the built-in mechanism that keeps them from germinating in the fruit pod was still active - I have since taken to refrigerating freshly harvested seed for a few days and this seems to lead to quick germination. Anyhow, here's a whole bunch of (SS02 x pachanoi) x TPM seedlings - I'm not sure what to do with them, they are way crowded and the smaller ones are basically getting trampled underfoot the bigger ones - there used to be like twice as many of them when they were little - quality problem though for sure - I'll likely pluck out the weird looking one's and graft them Edited April 13, 2013 by nitrogen 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogfrog Posted April 17, 2013 I did a repotting mission the other day as my seedlings were looking a little cramped. It took me atleast three hours but it was an overcast shitty day so it was good use of my time I kept about 30 seeds of each and split the rest between my boyfriend and a mate. Most types i have ended up with 15 or so healthy hardened seedlings, yet of the (soo2xpach) x TPM i have 29! So that means i only had one seed fail to germinate Here's my funky graft, i said i would update in a month but it is already looking very different to last time i shared a pic, 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
