Sometimes the direct approach even carefully worded isn't the best one. I apologize.

I have had the pleasure of seeing a lophophora cactus in person. It had three buttons growing out of the tap root, and the person who kept it planned to graft them to a trichocereus pachanoi. From what I understand, the pachanoi cactus has a growth hormone that will cause the lophophora cactus to grow rapidly doing many years worth of growth in fewer. What is the difference in growth patterns, blooming patterns and mixture of active alkaloids from a grafted cactus verses one that has been left whole?

I have also uncovered experiments where freebase dopamine was injected into the cactus and allowed to biosynthesize into mescaline increasing the content of the alkaloids. From what I remember of the paper it was injected every week. What is the overall gross amount of alkaloids a cactus can hold? Is there a point at which it makes no sense to continue administering the precursor? How does it change the cactus' physical appearance?

These are just a few questions I have on my mind as I am not able to conduct research myself. :smile: Any info on this would be most interesting.

A good many moons ago i ordered a bunch of Lophophora W. seeds. made a couple attemps at starting a few but failed when my girlfriend knocked the first batch over. i knocked over the second.

Anyway, recently i started about 50. 25 in each pot in 2 pots. When i noticed the first 3 sprouts I threw out 25 more, 5 in each pot in 5 pots.

Today i noticed that 4 more had sprouted in the first batch so thats 7. Hopefully the remaining seeds in there will continue to sprout.

Theyre so small! It boggles my mind how these things can even germinate in the wild and survive long enought to produce seed.

Im excited. I have a nice pachanoi that i got as a gift a few years ago that im just now getting around to planting in a large enough container. It has some thinning at the top due to being shaded for a few months. I plan to eventually trim that off and graft a few on to that.

Maybe, although I can't see any discolouration where it may of been applied. Could just have exceptional feeder roots. Nonetheless, to me that thing is  :aweoverdose:

Isn't that alot of perlite on the surface?  I mean I am no expert but I would think that having that much perlite on the surface may prove to be an issue with the seedlings?

Having an overly coarse surface will cause the plants to root into the cracks of material as well as block sunlight and cover the seeds when they are trying to germinate.

His look fine atm, but for the future its best to crush the perlite IME.
