Cacti ID requests

I've asked once about my two "supposed" Trichocereus Peruvianus cacti that came from the same vendor and got some nice replies on here. The older they get, the more they don't look like Peruvianus or even like one another; Spines are not the same color, lengths or in the same formation. So I figured I'd upload more pictures to get some more input.
The first plant and view of the spines


Second plant

 Do these really look like Peruvianus in yalls opinions or even the same to one another? Any and all input is appreciated.
I bought these from the same vendor and was wanting to make sure they are in fact Bridgesii like I was told when purchasing.


 They look like Bridgesii to me but they have around 5 spines per areola while my adult Bridgesii have only 3-4 spines per areola. Any positive IDs? I do not believe I will trust this vendor again in the future.

There are hybrids on the market. Hybridizing is how cannabis got so fantastic. Those both look like hybrids I've purchased in the past. Prized genetics

Do you have an educated guess about what kind of hybrid it could possibly be? I'm still learning a lot when it comes to cacti.

Both of them? I figured it had too many spines per areola to be a true Peruvianus. Redz said they look like Cuzco hybrids. I do know you are very knowledgable about cacti from your posts.

Cactus makes you go insane. There are pachanoi with long spines, peruvianus with short spines, some bridgesii hybrids resemble peruvianus, macrogonus & cuzcoensis can look like peruvianus, hybrids I won't even start mentioning..
U see? 
Keep it simple and call it peruvianoid.

I'm about to buy a Peruvianus cutting online and am interested in incorporating kelp meal to help induce pupping. Do I just mix a certain amount of kelp meal into the soil or just sprinkle it on top of the soil? I also looked into kelp tea for watering but that looks like too much work; I don't want to have to boil anything on the stove.

I sprinkled some on top of my repotted trichs and in the days since the rains, i can see a difference. More green and plump. Top dressing is fine. I did 1tablespoon on top of each pot.

"Trichocereus sp. SS01 (=Trichocereus peruvianus?)" - this is the only Peruvianus I found on their site and they have a ? Afterwards like they are unsure if it is or not.

They don't have their full catalog online. The first time I ordered I sent an email asking if prey had peruvianus from matucana. They sentsentthe listing for 3 types. I ordered from them and ordered a catalog. They charge $4 for a full catalog. They do ordering old school. You print and mail an order form and a money order and about 2 weeks later you get your plants i can pm you their peruvianus listings if you want
