Anyone have any idea what may be going on here and possible remedies to save the bloodline?
I have tried the copper spray and it may help a little but it foednt seem to be fixing the problem.
Thanks!

Dang man, I have never seen anything like that! That looks awful.
I'm not ever one to give up on plants, until the conditions are just too dire, however I would just toss those and start again if it were I. I see very little salvageable cactus left on any of those, if any.
That is a tough decision, but maybe they can be saved, so don't toss them yet. See if anybody else will chime in that may have had a similar situation first.
Good luck

It won't recover from the virus, you need to treat it and wait for new growth and then you can cut the old top off.

Looks like what I’ve had from over watering.
The ribs look very fat, so I’d try just giving them less water and seeing if they start growing some nice stuff again.

Dang, my trichs get tons of water, even indoors during the winter, and I have never seen anything remotely like that, even when mine are gettign more water than they like.
Heck, last spring it rained every day for a week straight on all mine and all that happened was one split. It's pretty hard to over water Trichs in my opinion, so I'm not so sure that that is the problemo. But, then again, I'm no cactus expert, so.......

I recently moved to the tropics. It’s the monsoon season at the moment and my cacti are currently in a very poorly draining soil, so I figured the rot, splitting and scar tissue (what I think the brown stuff is, no expert here either) was due to over exposure to water.
Whenever I put them under cover and out of the rain they repair themselves and start growing. I need to repot them all in better soil.
