firstaid Posted April 1, 2001 In grafting these two cactus's will the (chemical) content of the Loph. decrease? I see that the Trichocereus grows rather fast but if I do graft the Loph. onto it,I don't want to change the potency, if you get my drift! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wira Posted April 1, 2001 What's P. trichocereus?? It's a fair assumption that a Lophophora grafted onto a Trichocereus stock would have a lesser alkaloid concentration compared to one left to grow at its own pace. The alkaloid biosynthesis would probably not keep up pace with the overall growth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstaid Posted April 2, 2001 Trichocereus Peruvianus! Yeah, I was thinking it would change a little. Thanks Wira, I wish I had your knowledge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wira Posted April 3, 2001 That's not knowledge, it's an educated guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstaid Posted April 5, 2001 I'll take it anyway's. If it's an educated guess then you probably have what I'm working to get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wira Posted April 5, 2001 If you mean a formal education, then I don't have one of those either, nor do I ever hope to get one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
