Winter Experiment With Bridge
    #23674086 - 09/24/16 01:58 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

I've got bridges pupping left and right.  I am going to try some experiments.  First, I am going to see how bridge tolerates the occasionally brutal new mexico winter.

In the northern Chihuahuan desert, which extends up into southern new mexico, it can get as cold as 0F, and the record as I know is -24F.  Hoever, a normal december/jan is around 20F at night, which is the stated low range of bridge.

Now occasionally the cold will kill cacti in that desert, but they will grow back.  I'm going to sac a couple of bridge and see what happens.  I am also going to take a few and put them out on, like 15 or 10 degree nights, and see if they will live.  If they live, I will clone them, and repeat, and try to breed in super cold tolerant bridges.  That's my first experiment.


My second experiment is going to be low-trimming.  I've low-trimmed one and have the center with 6 pups around it, almost like a hedgehog.  I intend to keep trimming down at ground level.  I want to see if I can get a very dense hedge of bridge with pups that I can just slice off the tops for, well you know, 'experimentations' 

I just wonder if the mescaline is in the tips or more near the base? 

My third experiment will be to inject tyrosine and see if I can increase the M yield.  But I dont know what the rate-limiting reactions are for the cactus to synth M. 

I will report back as the experiments progress.

They will tolerate cold better if slightly dehydrated. Just popping them out on cold nights might cause damage they wouldn't suffer if kept exposed as winter draws in? I think tip damage from frost could be the biggest problem.

I have a bridgesii that will be outside all winter here, just needs the soil to be kept dry. It has outgrown the clear bag I covered it with last year, 7 foot now! Last winter was mild though.
The rest stay in an unheated greenhouse, and have survived a spell down to -17C (-4f), below freezing temps for 6 weeks, barely going back over 0C in the day (30f, stupid f!). But we don't consistently get winters that cold.

Looking forward to the cold test results! :thumbup:
