Trichocereus or cereus?

Question

I'm a little unsure of what this is, if anyone could help that would be great :)

 

I can take more pictures if required.

 

Thanks!

It´s definitely not a cereus. It looks a bit roughed up and that affects how it looks like, but it´s probably Trichocereus peruvianus or something close to it. Pretty sure this will turn out to be a nice Trichocereus once you have it repotted and in full sun.

Thank you very much my man, I was hoping it was a Trichocereus - I thought it did look like that but wasnt quite sure!

 

What size do you recommend me report it in? I hadn't really thought about re-potting it, because I'm only new to cacti and just picked this one up very recently. :) 

I'll mix up some nice 50% coir and 50% potting mix and add a heap of pearlite, hopefully that will be sufficient
