Macro shots from today


This one’s not macro, but a close up of the gray tip…



The gray haze, you can see the little black dots I mentioned…




This one you can really see the black dots…


While browsing these shots, I noticed this…

Fucking spider mites!



Went to put eyes on it and took off like three of these fuckers.
Luckily these are unintentionally quarantined from my other trichs, gonna handle this asap.

Could the mites be causing the grey discoloration and black dots ?
Any recommendations?
Tips?
Will these still be safe to consume if I use a pesticide?

Could I suffocate them with a smoke bath?

Gave Melliferous a heads up to quarantine.

Dang Soloist that sucks!  Its unfortunate that the cuttings have mites.  Hopefully the seller will do something to make this situation right.  Sorry to hear that this has happened.




6Tripp9 its a good idea to gradually introduce cacti to sunnier locations.  Let them build up to more and more sun exposure a little bit at a time.  It might be tricky to do indoors with your window.  But the best way would be to move them to a spot with a little more sun every few days until they are all the way transitioned to the new, sunnier location over the course of 2 or 3 weeks.

Thanks for letting me know -- I just checked all of my cuttings and they're clean. Maybe they were in a different greenhouse.
Sorry you have to deal with that :/

So I’ve been reading my ass off about mites, seems that if it were indeed a problem that it would be obvious.
Turns out there a a bunch of other mites out there that aren’t pests, beneficial even.

So  for now I’m not really going to react. My eye is pretty keen when I hone in on something and honestly didn’t find many.
Keeping on as normal and if I start to see more I’ll remove them mechanically with tape wrapped around a q-tip :grin:

It’s all good. I’m happy your cuts are clean.
Really don’t think mine are an issue after a solid  research binge.
Haha, fucking cactus noob. :shrug:(Any plant honestly)

I actually contacted Ben to see what he thought/give him a heads up.
Says-
      I've never had any trouble with spider mites on any of my cacti, they occasionally bother leafy plants left in the greenhouse during summer, but never cacti-- plus those cuts came from plants grown outside and are the hardiest of what we grow.

For any leafy plants that have had spider mite all it takes to keep them in check is regularly spraying the plants with a strong jet of water...


I’m satisfied.

Thank you though for everyone that chimed in.
These cuts have already started to give me what I need, haha, experience.

I have beautifull bridgessi's but my insane government is spraying pesticides in front of my apartment at least once or twice a week, from late may till late august. The wind blows it in every direction and they do it in the early mornings when people are sleeping with their windows open. They also do it without warning beforehand.

I always have to run to close windows and bring my cacti inside, but the last few times i was too late and my balcony was already covered in clouds of pesticide smoke. I live in a very densely populated area, are they fucking insane spraying this poison on our houses and on my beautifull cacti. Today i managed to bring half my cacti inside, but i had to stop because i started breathing in this poison so i left the rest outside.

I'm not sure if i can eat my cacti anymore. I live in europe and there are no deadly insects here, it makes no sense to spray clouds of poison. What should i do with my cacti? I don't have garden where i can wash them and washing them in the shower would cause problems with dirt and sand.
I'm thinking about cutting them, washing the cuttings and selling them or drying them and making powder?
I'm tired of the stress of having to run to bring them inside all the time.
I'm so furious, i've been taking care of these babies for years.

It's hard to say if the pesticide would be systemic/taken in by the plant or not...do you know what they are spraying or what pests it's for? Is it being sprayed directly on them?

If it's not being taken inside the plant, you should just be able to rinse them before using... I would think a lot of fog type pesticides are pretty volatile and would be broken down fairly quickly by the sun's UV on the skin of the cactus, but idk.

It's horrible they are just fuming the whole neighborhood, and without any warning makes it even worse. Sorry you are going through that.

Those are nice looking cactus btw!

I have no idea what they are spraying but since it is used to kill insects i'm sure i don't want it in my system. It's not sprayed directly on them since i live on the 7th floor, but the smoke goes up in seconds and embraces the whole building. The clouds stay on my balcony for a few minutes and then go further up in the air. It's truely criminal and i live in a so called civilized EU country.
The whole neighbourhood looks like it's on fire for a few minutes, i live close to the Ukrainian border and it kinda looked like the footage you see from when Mariupol was smoking from Russian bombs.
Today they started doing it around 06:30 in the morning on a saturday when everybody is asleep, as always without warning and it is very hot so everybody has their windows open...insanity and i hear nobody else complain.

The cacti are extremely potent too, i've only eaten them once and so i would find it such a waste to sell them.

They do have thick skin which i peel off when preparing them, so that should protect the inside, but just the thought of eating something that could have pesticides scares me...i eat only organic food for that reason. Damn these criminals to hell.

I'm thinking about moving out of the city.

It might be a pain in the ass, but maybe put a fan on your porch for when it happens to blow the fog away?

Being on the 7th floor I would think there's less chance they are taking much in. Washing the cuttings off well before use would get most of it I bet, and you are taking the skin off too. Silver lining- no bugs to eat your cactus? idk...that sucks and I wouldn't be happy about it either.

Yeah i thought about buying a greenhouse or some plastic foil protection. But they have been spraying here for 2 years straight now, maybe it's already too late...or maybe i'm just being paranoid and its not that bad...it sucks either way.

Have you tried to figure out exactly what they are spraying? You're entitled to know. I'd call the proper channels and once you know what is being sprayed, you can have a better idea how it will affect your plants. Might just be 1 or 2 brief phone calls.

That is crazy though that they fog your neighborhood. They do the same thing on the grounds where I work, once per week they drive a truck around the workplace that is fitted with a huge fogger. For 20 minutes or so the entire property is smothered in fog. I guess they determined it is safe for inhalation but I sure as hell won't breathe it in.

I asked some neighbours if they knew what they are spraying and they just said something to kill insects but they didn't know exactly what. Some people just walk through the smoke, they don't care.
And the people that spray the stuff are even dumber, it's always 5 guys with these loud machines on their back, it looks like those leaf blowers, and the only protection they wear is these silly blue covid masks, the ones that you buy in the supermarket lol. Today they were spraying from trucks which gave me even less time to close all windows

Most people here don't give a shit about health. Half the people here are chain smokers and borderline alcoholics. They think the pesticide spraying is good because it kills the annoying musquitos and bugs. I just put nets on my windows and never have musquitos, it's totally insane to spray.

And i don't care what they say, if it kills insects then it's not safe to inhale, matter of fact, no smoke is safe to inhale let alone pesticides.

I would imagine that they are fogging for mosquitos.  From what I was just reading online, the fog only contains a small amount of insecticide in it and does not leave a residue behind.  I'm not sure that it would be absorbed by your cactus or be harmful to you when the cactus is processed into tea.  But I certainly understand your concern about it.  I would be concerned too.  Are you still going to consume your cactus anymore?

Just to add on to that, fog =/= smoke. It's not dangerous to inhale vapor, but the insecticides might be.

Not to excuse the practice of public fumigation, but to ease your panic. They are most likely not blowing smoke.

I got the rest of my bridgesii seeds to hatch today.



Also, got two pereskiopsis in the mail! I am excited to get them established and graft a couple seedlings. They should have about two good months of growth before the winter sets in, so I can compare the rate of growth on the grafts to the ones in the dirt.

Also got pachanoi seeds I am going to get started on as well.

They are spraying the grass and there are no that many mosquitos here, i think they are spraying for ticks, many people have dogs here that they walk in the grass...these ticks can carry diseases and i think that is the reason they do it.

My instinct says the cacti are most probably ok to consume, especially if cleaned, i mean there is probably more pesticides on most vegetables in the supermarket. But i admit i'm a bit of a paranoid person, so i will probably make cuttings and sell them.

It really sucks because i have a whole bunch of clean acid but after taking 400ug a few days ago i realized that i find acid boring and not spiritual compared to shrooms or bridgesii. So i decided to never take acid again and focus on bridgesii and shrooms.
But now i only have the shrooms left...my acid is probably goin in the garbage bag one day and my bridgesii on ebay... i'm sad.:frown:

Washing off the outer layer well and peeling the skin should remove anything on the outside and a long boil should get rid of anything else I would think?

I wouldn’t worry about it but that’s just me (:

Definitely don’t throw away your stash either! Revisit that when ready or gift to someone close to you maybe

Prepped my cuts last weekend.
Applied cinnamon to the cut ends and air dried them all week.

Removed the spines yesterday, aging in my Herb cabinet till October or November.
Tips by the window so they get some sun while they callous.

I’m thinking with this weight though my best bet might be just to dose it all with no test run.
