Boy you ain't guardin' your lophs with a 22 rifle. I stay posted on my back porch all day and I pick off any birds that come near my lophs.

Got the rifle, but the scopes out and I have no idea how to re-align it. Firing about 2inches up and right over 20metres.

A rifle scope has two adjustments, elavation and windage. The elavation is the travel of the bullet up and down where the windage is from left to right. First make sure the scope is firmly mounted to the rifle and go ahead and adjust the elavation one click to get the it down the two inches you need. Now rough estimate your windage since it is so off. Finally sight the gun in rested very comfortably on some sandbags are something like that and dial it in precisely. It helps a lot if you have a gun vise that holds it completely still.Sorry to be off topic. Loph growers unite!!!

Pro advice, 5 stars. I don't have a gun vice but a regular vice, I'll just pad it up so I don't scratch/damage it.
And yes, back on topic - Lophs rock. =p

First flower is maybe around 3-5 years old. They will start to get more woolly prior to budding.

In uk peyote is not scheduled so you can buy from shop. I think you'll have a hard time in states but someone else can prob help? or you could grow pedro , i'm pretty sure is unscheduled (tho i know your laws change from state to state so don't take my word)

nicely done, fricii really does have a lot of seeds per fruit. so does diffusa and koehresii i find. only willy seems low all around. great plants bro, those flowers are yummy.
smucka, depends a lot on species. hylocereus can have thousands per fruit.

How big do mature lophs get on average? I think I am thinking that they get much bigger than they actually do.
