Time to celebrate the first year of those fellows T. Peruvianus and T.Pachanoi started from seeds: 2 month old (not the cuttings obviously  ) :  6 month :   8 month :   9 month :   1 year : Bottle of champagne for scale and celebrating  :  Same age, the bigger and the smaller (which is recovering from a bird attack that cut its roots)  (for scale, here the lighter is a big model but in previous pictures it was a small model of the same color) At first, they were very slow but after 6 month the speed of growth became exponential and it makes me very happy. I think i will be able to check potency (processing extraction) in one year to know those who deserve propagation by cutting. Patience... The cuttings after 9 month :  Impressive growth and soon, it'll be time for cutting And the newcomers from seeds also. A mix of named clone breeded :  4, 5 month old, so they should start fire-rocket-grow soon  « I love the smell of boiling MHRB in the morning »

And now it's been about one year the cuttings (brought back from peru) are rooted : Back from south America  2 month after rooting  1 Year  1 Year  1 Year (1,5 month after harvest , low yield though  )  The cutting from the previous one starting too grow  And a (small) part of the family  I'm wondering, when does cactus cultivation start to be an addiction ?  « I love the smell of boiling MHRB in the morning »

Congrats to your green family. Nice collection. DansMaTete wrote:1 Year (1,5 month after harvest , low yield though ) Did you perform an extraction and if so, what was your alkaloid content % fresh/dry?

I did root the top cutting (see above) and extract the middle section which was about 50 cm and weighed 1kg (no idea of dry weight). I only got 250mg of mescaline (no final clean), i was a bit disappointed with this 0.025% yield but the cactus was fresh, fully hydrated and i used the whole thing (core, white and green flesh). I guess if dried and no core it could be 0,5%. Still low but i have to test my other plants, i might be more lucky. « I love the smell of boiling MHRB in the morning »

Today is a big day for me. First time one of my cactus is flowering. This small yote started from seeds and grafted on a young pedro 10 month ago :  Showed it's genitals today :  Despite it, literally, exploded one week ago (too much water). Notice the second flower coming up, one or two days away from flowering :  Oh, and i noticed the pistils moved after i tried to pollinised with a small bruch  « I love the smell of boiling MHRB in the morning »

So cute, I'm enraptured (enruptured? ) My Lophs have all been self-fertile with no intervention. Were you cross-pollinating yours? I mean, I say self-fertile but I really should try germinating some of the seeds first! “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

No other cactus to cross-pollinate so i tried the self-pollinate approch. The 2 previous flower died after 2 days but this morning i've been surprised by this flower fest : DansMaTete attached the following image(s):  DSC_0788.JPG (1,412kb) downloaded 91 time(s).« I love the smell of boiling MHRB in the morning »

As noted in my 'Lophs fruiting' thread, the fruits take about 6 months to form after the flowers have dried up. Then they pop out as suddenly as the blooms can/do. Hopefully you'll get a nice surprise towards the end of the year! “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'.
