What do you think is wrong with this pretty grafted lophophora?

Is its skin blistered ??  Never seen anything quite like that.  But if it were mine, I would keep it well away from all my other plants.

Maybe some mod or whatever might think this has now been long enough.

The one in the back doesnt look too well either. Why dont you spray them down with a miticide or something. They dont look so good.

Looks to me like that loph is getting too much N in its diet. They really don't like too much nitrates...

What kind of food and growing medium do you have it in? I would repot that into good cactus medium. Don't feed it anything but water for a while and don't feed it much nitrates in the future

These babies have never seen any fertilizer. The medium is 80/20 cactus soil/normal potting soil. "Cactus soil" is mostly inert mineral stuff (river sand with perlite etc.) Rather than excess N, it might be an issue with grafted lophs: I've read that they tend to get too much nutrition because the rootstock, when healthy, "pumps up" more than normal lophophora roots would.

I've had cacti of all species and varieties die on me, but I've never seen this waxy cracking blister business.

The specimen in the background has a problem with the rootstock, I think. Maybe I should try rerooting it...

is the root stock still alive? it doesn't look very good, that might have something to do with it.

This rootstock looks alive - although not happy.

The one in the background, on the other hand...

push the loph to the side a bit to test how mushy the stock is, it shouldn't bend much if healthy it would snap first, if rotten/dying it will be flexible.

Not mushy. Rather, woody and dried up.

This doesn't mean it's healthy. I lost at least two pachanois to this variety of fungus, which seems immune to the 3 fungicides I've tried.

I lost about half of my indoor collection to fungus, I should of left them outside under shade cloth. I lost 20 harrisa jusbertii to fungus which is why I asked if the stock was ok, mine got mushy not woody though
