nitrogen Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I also got the seeds today . This new line of seeds is quite interesting. Most interested in the '' x TPM and Lumberjackus x Sharxx Blue and have like 8 Psycho0 x N1 seeds gonna sow together. I know that flowering is determined by many factors; how long from seed does it take for a trichocereus to flower assuming no grafting? Would try planting in the ground as soon as large enough or using the largest container I can use. Sorry I know this is a bit off topic for this thread.Back a few years ago when my seed grown ecuadorian pachanoi flowered I want to say it was around 5-6 yrs old - likewise my 2 seed grown cuzcoensis plants were like 5-6 years old when they flowered.. Seems there's a couple strategies for flowering - if you put them in the ground they appear to need to get much bigger before they do so - this is Zelly's approach, who has a sort of Jurrassic-cereus Park situation going on at his house In contrast, most of my cacti have flowered in pots, and seem to do so more readily when they get rootbound, and not growing that fast - they are much smaller than Zelly's in general, but flower more than comparably sized plants that he has in the ground..

CactEye Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I am crying tears of joy after opening my mailbox this evening. Thank you so much Nitrogen!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modern.shaman Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ok thanks that is really helpful...Looking at zelly's post on Leyenda from AZS it matches the age of your flowering cacti. SS usually sells seedlings that are around 3 years old + 2 in AZ sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nitrogen Posted November 14, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Awesome! It's so rewarding for me to see the beautiful specimens people grow from my seed giveaways - and in the case of the 2015 hybrids I'm not in a position to grow them myself at my own residence - just don't have the right conditions.. So, I'll live vicariously through others Might set them up with Zelly in his foster care situation - in fact, the Achuma Protection Agency (APA) would probably insist on it if they found me trying to grow these seeds out with zero hours of direct sunlight available at my apartment over the winter..-- One thing I'll add - while I don't have an issue per se with people selling these seeds, or selling the resulting seedlings - I would encourage people to bring a generous spirit to such transactions.. To offer very favorable terms, less than what one "could" get.. To have the spirit of achuma in mind and spirit in such transactions.. I only bring this up because it was brought to my attention that there were some cases, after the 2012 hybrid seed giveaway, of seedlings being sold on Ebay within the USA for super high prices. Somebody or somebodies had grafted their seedlings and grown them into nice little mutant specimens, and was then trying to sell them for very high prices on Ebay. Lol, it's obviously pretty low and dishonorable to price gouge on something that was received as a gift - and most all of our community knows this. So, I mention it in case we see someone else selling these seedlings for high prices - if such behavior is observed on ebay or elsewhere, feel free to correct the other person however you see fit ;) Edited November 14, 2015 by nitrogen 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philocacti Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Nitrogen, my brother. Thanks from mother Africa. The seeds have arrived safely. It's kind of amazing how they passed smoothly through the customs and the post office and came directly to my house. I must admit, I'm so excited for all 6 crosses. About "To have the spirit of achuma in mind and spirit in such transactions.."Last year, I cut a lot of cristated and monstrose pups and gave them as gifts to of local cactophiles (that don't like Trichocereus). Now all of them fell in love with the genus. One of these guys came back from Europe with a few different varieties of crested and monstrose pachanois and gave me a cutting from a crest and another from a monstrose for free. Your generosity has made a chain reaction here (and I'm sure in other places) and it's beautiful to see it develop and get bigger ......and most of all, to be part of it. Thank you my brother.......you are a legend. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ace1928 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hey guys im real curious as to what everyone thinks the approximate rate of mutation has been in these seeds in the past? 1/10? 1/2? I cant wait to get home because im pretty sure theyre there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolname Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I haven't been home to see if mine have arruved yet, but I was thinking what if everyone who has recieved some of these seeds make a small donation to a charity that nitrogen can pick seeing as he is too awesome to accept anything in return? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
