Dark Green Bridgezoid? or just a Pachanoi?

Question

3+ years ago I was growing bulk bridgesii seed and this seedling stalled but was not killing off. It pupped several times and I fell in love with it. This cutting was planting out in the ground late Dec. 2015 at around 6-8 inches and is now standing at 28 inches; about 20 inches in a year with a month to go. This cactus is in full sun all day and for now is showing no glaucusness but that only happens in shade? The cactus flopped over in the summer but after a watering would stand firm and now that it is well rooted doesn't seem to topple but does have some support. Not sure if that is a trait.

 

I see a pachanoi due to color with this cactus but does it look like it has some bridgesii genetics? The spines look very bridgesii like to me but am not sure.

 

It is still young/small and I'll update in 6 months after it hopefully pups and grows. The crested section looks very pachanoi like but perhaps the spines will grow larger with more sun/age. Grafted clones look very peruvianus-like very different then own roots.

 

My other bridgesii in the ground is a very light green later getting a silver coat rather then blue and another small seedling is also a dark green so I'm confused (pictures are from a 2-3 months ago not recent)

Here are some more photos almost a month later; the older spines are getting longer. New spines are quite blond which seems bridgesii like to me. I'm gonna keep it as a bridgezoid for now. Likely bridgesii x pachanoi or reverse IMO. Gonna feed as much as possible come spring to see if any thing changes visually.

Both are Trichocereus bridgesii. Not sure if hybrids or not...if you buy seeds on the market that are not labeled as hybrid seeds, it often is just Bridgesii seeds from nature. There is quite some variability to be expected from seed grown plants. Sellers sometimes mix the seeds and offer it as just one strain, which then consists of a few strains.
