trichocereus cacti ID

Hello community!
So I went to my local nursery and bought a bunch of cacti that i think might be of the trichocereus genus. I had looked up a lot of pictures previously and picked the specimens with those in my mind. But now, comparing my specimens with pictures on various sites on the internet, i still have problems identifying them. I'm shure there are a few experts on this subject here and i'd be so grateful for any help. here come the pictures:

Definitely not a trichocereus pachanoi (san pedro). they look vaguely like some echinopsis peruviana (peruvian torch).

cactus in pics 11,12,13 is definitely a polaskia chichipe. And many seem to be of the pilosocereus pachycladus species. Thank you for ID. I'm not shure about the cacti in pics 6,7,8 and 17,18,19 though.

I have many pilosocereus as well as Polaskia specimens in my collection and I have to agree that is what you have here, a mixture of both. Did you pick these up at one of the big box stores unlabeled?

Picked them unlabeled in a smaller nursery. There's not a single specialized cacti grower/seller in my area, but now I managed to order a nice t.pachanoi specimen for a very good price. I hope it makes it safely to my home. But these pilosocerei and polaskiae are beatyful indeed, I'll take good care of them.
