I'm just slightly concerned about the black that can be seen on one of the cut ribs of the stock in the pic above, roughly in the 10 o clock position. This black discoloration has spread to another rib..is this something to be worried about or is it typical bruising before a cactus heals up? I know it's only been a few days but I'm not seeing any growth yet either. I would have assumed I could at least discern a *very slight* change in the appearance of the positions of the center tufts, but they look the same when I look at my pic and the graft in person. When do grafts typically start their growth spurt after a successful connection has been made?

Scratch that, I see in Cacti's growlog thread it took his grafted loph 9 days or more to start growing. I can sleep well tonight.

yeah man dont fret. i think one thing people can do is obsess over cacti or plants.
one year i must have lost 6 lophs. and nice ones too. all to rot. i just see it as natures way to weed out the weak.
although that doesnt mean i didnt change shit up.
i know what i know throught trial and error.
so yeah it will be a while for real growth to appear.
i see your location is the stash box. i dont know where that is or what the weather is like but here in deep, really deep, south texas its loph weather. and being like 45minutes away from loph territory the climat is the same for wild peyote as it is for my home grown ones.
anyways just took off ramblin. you'll be fine asnd so will your cacti.

I'd never poach a wild specimen, I'm glad you share that concern though. I've always wanted to bring my camera and look for some just for the hell of it but I'd never consider uprooting a wild one. Every single loph I own are all seed grown in a greenhouse from a private vendor in Cali. It would definitely be exciting to see some actual wild specimens one day though. Kind of like hunting for mushrooms, but with a 'look don't touch' approach.
