Four ribbed Trich...

Hey every body. It's been awhile since I posted here ... So ... Hey.
Anyway , I was pitting together a box for a trade today when I noticed that one of them only has four sides. I remember reading something about this "anomaly" for lack of a better word. I think it was called trade winds or something to that effect. Anyway , this is a first for me. Is it a rare occurance?

cactus of the four winds. It is a selling practice for unscrupulous people to take advantage of naïve buyers by saying the 4 ribbed bridgesii is more potent or rare. The truth is, cacti lose and gain ribs over time. That 4 rib cactus you pay big bucks for, will gain more ribs within a few seasons. It is cool to have one, but by no means special.

Pretty much what kosmo said. I get 4 ribbers on bridgesii's that then go on and gain ribs as they age. Keeping them root boud seems to stop them from adding more, or too many.

I feel bad for people who pay for that. I've had bridgesii do that on multiple occasions.

I wouldn't call it a holiday. I'm pulling for you brother. You hang on tight.

Jail, holiday....They're fairly similar. You end up doing time in a place you probably wish you hadn't either way.
Hope all works out ok for you URB. I can't remember how long you'll be away for but let me know an address and I'll send you a letter. Keep that thumb green if you get a chance as well. And stay off the fucking junk man. It doesn't do you any fucking good. <<I mean this in the best way possible.

People really pay more if there's as simple happening as 4 ribs only?
I've seen ribs increase easier in strong light, decreasing in shade or under poor light. With several species. It's not big trick of magic to decrease/increase ribs with amount of light what I've noticed. Still without control how many ribs plant grow based on shading or exposing it to more light.
BTW: Need to ask from warm climate growers and those have seen big plants outdoors where they do well, is it more common to find smaller rib count on branches from same plant if looking from most shadest spot of many columns? I assume it goes like that but I want to ask from warm climate growers seen plants in ground and big enough more closer.
Im curious to know do big many column trichocereus have more ribs at branches in sun and those in shade less with outdoor plants in warm climate?
Just wanted to ask do they behave like I assume they does, based on amount of sun they receive effecting the rib count of branches from older cactus in ground?
Ofc number or ribs can't be controlled accurately by grower, but does those big plants in ground behave like I've seen when moving from sun under 400W HPS? I dare to say I can decrease any plant rib by moving it under weak HPS grow light. But it wont happen all the time, but very predictable it happens and there's less ribs if light decrease alot compared to sun, and opposite.
Reason I ask is I haven't obviously seen much big cactus plants on ground here from reason or another, happend to find out light level decrese effects to ribs very likely with potted plants. Do roots on ground, not in pot, have any function to rib count increase of branch or is it just light levels?

I'm Sorry I only skimmed the currant posts, so I'm not sure if this was said, but I've heard 4 ribbed san Pedro's are supposed to be regarded as ultra potent as well as rare...
Though this may not have scientific basis...

It's probably just folk-story turned to urban legend. Or already potent plant have had 4 ribs by coinsidence i assume.

Yeah, that's what I figured, I think maybe because they are so rare the cimora shamans would regard them as special, which our culture translated to "potent"

Holy crapm sorry Urb. Be safe.

While I am sure that it contains no magical properties ( other than mescaline) I would like to keep it as is for obvious reasons. If I just leave it here , who knows what will happen to it. I need to find it a good home .
It currently resides atop a six ribbed parent cacti. Would cutting it possibly throw it into shock maybe making it throw out another rib? Should I just leave it as is , or cut it?

I've got one in low light now that went from 7 ribs to 5...
Every time I cut my 7-9 rib pachanoi's a 5 ribbed arm grows from the area...
I've never had a 4 rib pachanoi on my personal cacti though....
(This pic is old, but the one without the arm is the one that reduced its ribs, I'll take and load a recent picture soon)

I have a T. macrogonus that recently has been shaded by other large pots, it has dropped a rib this summer. It has a free root run and is very happy, the shading is the only change that has occurred.

This is the bottom half of that same pachanoi (old but still newer than my first pic)

This is one I just took of that same pachanoi this morning that shows how a 7 rib reduced to a 5 rib.
I only have a south facing window available, so I get very little Sun in the summer,I put a T-5 box on them, but sadly the 8 24w T-5's are not sufficient, I was using it for veg. Marijuana, so I didn't think it would be...

Ok, look how small the arm is, the base of this cactus is 3.5 feet tall...

The arm is now taller than the base!
I wish these ones were not so etiolated though...
