Is this a terscheckii?

So I picked this up at lowes a couple days ago. It was labeled as Trichocereus Poco, but after doing a little research I cant find much information on it. Trichocereus Poco is also called Echinopsis tarijensis and that doesnt look much like what I have. Im leaning towards this being a mislabeled Terschekii. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks everyone!

I want to say yes...but my cacti id skills are amateur at best.
It looks like mine, and the smaller ones i've seen hanging around nurseries.

The terscheckii I got at a nursery a couple years back looked just like the cactus pictured. I've never seen a Trichocereus poco at any age with my own eyes before, though. Nice find!

Terscheckii, Pasacana or something similar for sure

I've been seeing these T. poco at all the hardware stores this summer. I highly doubt they became mysteriously mislabeled all throughout the US. They do look a lot like terscheckii, but are not the same species. According to this website, poco is very low in alkaloids.

Well im inclined to agree with you. If you have seen these same things labeled as poco, then its probably poco. This is the only one ive come across so I thought it could be a mis-identification by a distributor. Damn, thought I had a terschekii
Thanks guys

Yeah, like Trichocereus poco. Can't understand why you guys would guess other species without knowing, when the plant actually came with a correct label. Nobody can say for sure until it flowers though. T. poco has red flowers, mainly from the area immediately at the stem apex, while T. pasacana and terscheckii both have similar fairly wishy-washy white flowers that can appear anywhere along the top section of the stem.
