I'd say biomass should be the winner (someone can elongate their cacti easily)... in which case you are in the lead IMO. Not sure if anyone else will be posting their grafts but we should wait a week or so.
Yea this is the double stock graft. I haven't been watering as often as I should so everything is a little slower than usual. The double stock works to a certain extent. Those left on single stock are now where near the size of the DS. My grafts are also in more light than they should be in so it causes slower growth but at least it doesn't elongate as much.

I had my first flower back on the 10th of August. It started budding around the 4th. So that's Just over 9 months from seed to flower, which is a personal best. Usually get flowers just after the 12th month. The pereskiopsis is a little longer than usually used, which sped up the flowering, and I think larger pots will be used for the next competition. These small(2x3 inch) pots are ok for smaller grafts packed tightly together but get a bit wonky individually.
Sowed 4 November Grafted 18 November 270 days of growth since grafted, 284 days from seed. Smallest(the One flowering) is 34mm, largest is 37mm Grown under dual 18w gro lux T8's.


And here's my Trichocereus entries. They didn't respond too well to the fluorescents.  They were also in the smaller pots but were recently transferred and kicked outside into the sun.

For reference, I used 2" peres cuts, and 2" pots. Most leaves dropped quite quick, and for the quickest to flower one, I actually cut away each areole so it wouldn't even attempt to pup

That's awesome and everything, but I'm disappointed there wasn't more competition. Winning by forfeit is not as fun!  But I guess that fattening up Trichs over several months is not as exciting as trying to get a flower, or being creative with grafts, hopefully this year's competition will be much more exciting!

How is everyones grafts from this doing now?
Here is my fastest loph, 1 year later, the stock was drying out, a small twist and tug and it came out clean. I will root this rather than regraft to a new stock and grow it out on its own roots.
