Cacti Talk..I've Got Some Questions

what cacti is most commonly mistaken for trichocereus pachanoi?

how many ribs to small san pedro cuttings usually have??
how far are the spine spacings usually?

come on!! am i chopped liver now that i have been gone for a few months?? haha
i know therre are somme pretty knowledgeable people on here that have the answers im lookin for.

I don't know what looks identical to it, I'm sure there are a few...

Pic should help though.

i got5 san pedro growing not even an inch tall but its only been a few months a few of them have turned red and got sun burn't lmfao its ok tho cause they are still thriving

that has 7 ribs and the spines look like they are spaced about an inch apart. is it possible for a san pedro to have 6 ribs?

The san Pedro has 4 – 8 ribs. Most San Pedro's have 6-8 ribs are you growing them or did you find some

a close friend of mine gave me around 9 total feet of cactus and im pretty sure its san pedro but not sure enough haha.
ill take some pics and post em in about an hour when i get home but they are nice cacti none the less =) the ribs on mine dont look
like they protrude as much as the ones in that pic tho so im not sure....

yeah some cacti are poisonous better to be safe then sorry can't wait for some pics

Click to expand...

it differs and even changes in the same cactus over time...

here are those pics.. its only one 8 in cutting and i have much larger ones
but this should be enough for a good id.

it look legit to me happy trippin

how sure are you?
all the san pedros ive seen have light spines and these ones are pretty dark.
any thoughts?

san pedro's are dark but these Trichocereus bridgesii are light in color

but alway good to have a second opinion

even the spines in your pedro pic are way lighter then the ones on mine.
mine are pretty much black spines and very small.

umm you could be right don't eat that untill you know for sure where that second opinion come on people

hopefully anc gets back on sometime soon and fills me in...i know he knows haha

I'd eat it, nothing to loose.... remember to save and root a wedge....


This picture illustrates the ribs thing, count ribs on mom, and on pup.....

im not sure on this but wouldnt tasting some be a valid way to test its activity??? just an assumption based on the fact that mescaline containing cacti are bitter.
