Felix Posted November 5, 2003 Not sure whether it's a Pachanoi/peruvian but does anyone own or have any info on this apparently potent clone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted November 7, 2003 Hey Felix, the SS02 appears to be more of a T. bridgesii. I don't know anything of its potency, but do understand that there are anecdotal reports of high concentrations of the alkaloid mescaline. I have had a single plant for a couple years but the damn thing appears to not grow at all for me. Maybe I should check for root mealies. Ugh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Felix Posted November 7, 2003 Thanks Michael, I thought I had read somewhere that it may be a bridgesii. Could the slow growth be a trait of the clone? It may also explain the high concentration of alkaloids... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thelema Posted November 14, 2003 i don't know if this sounds dumb, but isn't the concept of the most potent clone/cactus NOT the question of which cactus produces the highest concentration of alkaloids in its growth tissue, but that GROWTH FACTOR must also be multiplied into the equation? For instance, I could spend the next 10 years farming Trich Pachanoi, or farming optunia (prickly pear). After 10 years I reackon Id have so much more prickly pear that I reckon a total harvest would yeild more goodies. Therefore in this regard, optunia would seem to be the more "potent" "mescaline-machine". Not that i'd ever do anything like that of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted November 15, 2003 thel - at some concentration it just doesn't appear viable to extract the goodies, so high yield is a good thing. even more important is high yield if you intend to blend and chugg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
