Is that common for new growth on SS02 to be spineless? Will those areoles grow spines later?

Its common for SS02 to go spineless in sections of the column.  Those spineless areoles never grown spines.  But after awhile the column tip will revert back to growing areoles with spines again.  It goes on and off like that for sections of the column.  I never paid attention to whether or not it changes with the seasons.

This clone is one of the reasons that I started to think that the plants with less spine protection rely more on alkaloids for defence.  You can see that SS02 does not have a lot of protection in terms of the spines.  Predators could get a mouthful of cactus flesh.  But the bitter / intoxicating alkaloids are strong.  That is the main defence.

I'm a big fan of Ben and his work. I've got some new cactus coming from him at the end of June. I like supporting his conservation efforts with my patronage even if it means waiting a little longer than normal. Which cuttings did you get?





I’m unaware of his conservation efforts, or anything about them really.
I happened across his site under the β€œcactus community” tab on cactus affinity (pretty sure it was them) at the recommendation of someone in this thread or the trich growers.

I was drawn to them by the absolute lack of aggressive commercialism,
No flashy videos or email drop lists that never came in time.
I could tell by the way they arraigned the orders and shipping cycle they were doing it for all the right reasons.
Not just trying to make a quick buck.

I would though have liked to see the cuts before hand but I have trust that I will receive what is meant for me.
Just got a really good vibe.

I went for the classic unnamed bridgesii cuts.

Ben and his family are solid - they've been doing this kind of work for decades now. Sourcing novel, medicinal and endangered plants from South America and making them available for plant lovers in North America is part of their work -- as is making select genetics available for various botanical gardens in their area.

What drew you to them is also the reason why many people don't purchase from them -- the lack of photos, electronic payment, and organic shipping schedule aren't for everyone.

I'm sure they'll send you some lovely cuttings!

SS02, Kate, and Medicine Man are probably my fastest/best growing bridgesii. KGC grows fast too but is really sensitive to light and humidity changes. My OTB grows pretty slow compared to other bridgesii I have, maybe it's my environment. I don't have psycho0 or Taz, so I can't really comment much on those. I think I've heard psycho0 grows really fast though.


I just found out tonight that the base of the spines on some of my bridgesii glow bright yellow in the blacklight! I don't know what that means, but it's very noticeable and looks cool.




Kate bridgesii is very good, I recommend it. They grow fast with enough sun but I've seen them grow fast even in many unideal conditions. They seem pretty disease-resilient. Ive planted kate bridgesii several times and never had one die.

For me, the intention behind it all is more important than anything else.
Plants can feel your intention when you interact with them, and that carries into your experience with whatever you use them for, at least In my experience.
It’s nice to have confirmation from you what I already felt, that these guys are truly doing this to share the sacred for the sake of helping humanity.
Kinda sad more people don’t realize that, but at the end of the day I know these guys do supply other vendors too. So their intent is still there.
(plus these other vendors can’t  touch the prices) 

Whether or not the cuts a get are picture perfect, I know  that they will be just what I need.
The intention, synchronicity , and trust in my intuition is far to great for me to feel otherwise.
I look forward to sharing them here.

I came home to find these little babies! I counted about a dozen. They wouldn't germinate after a couple weeks sitting in the sun, come to find out my soil mix was bad. I didn't add anything organic. So I picked out all the seeds (that was fun), cut the soil with some coir (it's what I had available), and tried again. They sprouted 2 days later.



I still have some seeds, I'm thinking of putting together a couple more cups and giving them away. And then getting a couple different types of seeds (San Pedro) to diversify my little grow...

I'm planning on putting a few in the ground outside when they're older. Our climate here is pretty good for cacti. Just going to let them grow for a year before moving them.

I got a tray of six cuttings from Verne some years back. There for sure two if not maybe three different bridgesii in there, so there may be different bridgesii labeled as Kate going around but they are both/all strong growers for me. I think he had some he also sold called "wild bridgesii" There's for sure two different plants I got from him...one looks like other people's pictures of Kate I've seen, and the other one has the biggest areoles of all my bridgesii and looks pretty different. The other one that looks slightly different may just be a growing condition variable, idk.


Verne(RIP) actually just passed away somewhat recently. I have no idea what is going to happen to the business and all the cactus out there, or if you can still order from them. I know there was mixed feelings about him within the trichocereus community with some of his bold claims and mislabeling of things, but the guy put out a massive amount of trichs in his time, and my one purchase from him was a positive experience.

Trichocereus is a genus of cactus.  There are several different species of Trichocereus.  Bridgesii is one of those species.  Pachanoi and Peruvianus are also species of Trichocereus cactus.

Remember these cuttings?





So I brewed it all up to 30 oz of tea.  Then I divided it into 3 doses of 10 oz each.  The tea is thick and dark.  I have the feeling that there are a lot of alkaloids in there.  SS02 was the bitterest Trichocereus I have ever tasted.  And the Altmans TPM was the saltiest.  So I'm expecting this tea to be challenging to drink.  But it should be plenty powerful.  I'll find out next weekend.  I'll let you all know afterwards.

The SS02 gave me a very heavy bodyload.  The headspace of the trip was that typical heavy, intense Bridgesii type of feel.

The Altmans TPM was one of the most visually stimulating trips I've ever had.  There were many vivid visual hallucinations.  And the line between what was oev and cev blurred considerably.  But the feel was not as heavy and intense as the SS02.  Bridgesii gets me really stoned and dazed on strong trips.  But Pachanoi is not as stoning and  most of the time I feel more alert compared to Bridgesii.

These have been my experiences so far.  But I'm hoping that this next series of trips will help me understand the cactus better.  This combo is one that I've been wondering about for awhile now.

Okay. That helps. Thx. I'm pretty sure I have all the above in the group pic.

Great thread by Grey Fox, have read most of the pages, good trip reports, grow logs.

I grow a patio full of bridgesii, which get morning sun only, and go to the waterpark at least once a week, I drink the tea made from bridgesii before I go to the waterpark.

Over the summer, I put the breaks on the Sublingual Ayahuasca https://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=96861&p=22, and use my home grown bridgesii cactus instead. My wife, her sister and teenage daughters go at least once a week to the waterpark down the street. I only use the cactus tea for outside as mescaline was made for outdoors. I grow a patio of bridgesii which get morning sun only, to shield from the hot, intolerant heat.

Trip report 6-8-22 Wed at the waterpark:

Today at 10am, drank the tea made from 780g de-corred chunks (3 of these bad boys), peeled wax skin from outer later, boiled for 45 minutes on high, then filtered thru a strainer, then reduced the liquid down to 6oz, then filtered the 6oz thru a cotton ball stuffed in a funnel, to get out any nausea causing particles to the intestines. Anytime I do this, I end up with a zero nausea, heavenly experience....so long as you can tolerate the bitter taste of the cactus, you are in for a treat.

Also took 300mg of pure THH 1 hour after drinking the cactus tea...never take at the same, but stagger by 1 hour, you don't want the mild maoi's in the cactus mixing with the SRI which is THH, I've done it before, trust me you don't as your heart beat will accelerate for several hours. Always take the cactus tea 1st, then 1 hour later take the THH, in that order only.

Around noon, the cactus tea and THH was working very well! Felt like a 500mg strong mescaline experience....all of nature looked like an outdoor fairy tale land full of neon colored bikinis...the open eye beauty was un-real, infinite in it's scope, nature shown with a diamondlike brilliance, strong deep head space, profound spiritual awakening, the music being played was just heavenly.

Home at 3pm (several hours after they opened) and it's still working very well! Playing music is just phenomenal...and all the movie stars on television look like glowing brilliant colored cartoon versions of themselves. Cactus always does a fine job of exaggerating facial and body features. The colors on cactus are extraordinary, and not of this planet, neon red-greens, neon orange-blues, neon purple-yellows. With eyes closed I saw majestic scenery of palaces and gardens, and some weird alien kind of creatures made of purple colors, a group of 3 of them looking back at me. I saw far away places, and completely naked beautiful women all neon glowing and flirting. Gotta love the cactus.

Thanks ant61.

So far, I've gone to the waterpark once a week every week this summer, each time taking somewhere between 780 and 1,000g of bridgesii fresh chunks from my smaller home grown bridgesii (post #421 pic). Each 6oz pint jar when full, holds the equivalent of 1,000g fresh bridgesii chunks boiled down. Last week I drank 1000g or one 6oz jar not shown (used up). 1,000g (what it is in a 6oz jar) divided by two gives me the equivalent of 500mg very strong mescaline after I drink the whole 6oz jar.

I'm going again to waterpark in 3 hours this morning this wed, drinking an entire jar on the right, this 6oz will again have around 500mg mescaline.

Trip report at the waterpark (last Friday) from 11am till 3pm:

I drank an entire 6oz tea (500mg mescaline equivalent).

My favorite thing to do is sit in the wave pool on the outskirt with my wife her sister and teenage daughters, and sit in the waves as they splash up on me, sometimes so powerful they turn my body sideways as I laugh and smile...just like being in the ocean, love the sounds of the waves, and people watching, they play music over the loud speakers...I watch the patterns and neon colors wash across the water, very euphoric, total spiritual ecstasy...the music sounds incredible. Very profound spiritual experience...deep head space, infinite open eyed beauty, nature shines like a diamond, neon colored bikinis, when looking at the clouds in the sky, they move as if in animated stop motion, like frame shots taken every half seconds, beautiful experience beyond any words. Walking in the gift shops always tells me how hard I am tripping, as the hanging beads from ceiling to floor shine and glisten like diamonds, the women look so beautiful, beauty is insane. Their facial and body features are exaggerated like a cartoon, there is a feeling like all of Heaven is smiling down on you that is common with cactus.

Pic: artwork courtesy Jillian Evelyn (Juxtapoz art mag), each 6oz cactus tea jar when full contains 1,000g fresh cactus bridgesii chunks boiled down (around 500mg mescaline). The chunks are boiled on hi for 45 minutes, then filtered thru a strainer, reduced to 6oz then filtered thru a cotton ball in a funnel to remove all the nauseating particles to the intestines for a zero nausea experience.

i wonder what the doses of mescaline really are (in terms of strengh) because i dont think that what the books say about dosage is accurate.

for example, i dont think that 500mg mescaline is that strong as people suggest.

i had only 2 really strong trips of cactus and all the rest were medium. and by medium i mean, i could really feel the mescaline, feel euphoria and all and thats it, and i think its about 500mg mescaline.

on my 2 really strong trips it was like i could feel the entire life energy of earth, walking bare foot on the beach was incredible and as i put my feet in the sea water it felt like i could feel the whole ocean! that was crazy but really manageable,short term memory was 0-i talked and forgot i talked so it felt like telepathy.. and i guess those 2 were about 900-1000mg. and they were my favorite actually.

so something is odd about the dosages people say.


hard for me to explain what i mean in english.
but i am not saying it in bad tone againts you. its or that what u had was about 200-300 mg and not 500. or what u had WAS 500 mg and if that was your experience, mescaline is weaker than what everyone says and 500mg is normal dose
