 Some San Pedro's

Here's a pic of some of my San Pedro's. I raised them from seed but because they were heavily attacked by root-lice i had to cut off at soil level and root them again. They are about 3 years old.

Where could I learn more about growing these?
You approach the turnstiles and know that when you get there you have to give the man two
dollars or he won't let you inside but when you get there everything goes wrong.

goddamn, they look so much like what i've identified as cereus peruvianus, abundant where i live...
how can pedros vary so greatly in their shape?

Looking Good. They're not san pedro though (Trichocereus pachanoi), they look more like trichocereus peruvianus.
Take care

Do all pedros have such large spikes? the spikes on my pedro are almost non existant, not long at all. I've seen peruvian torch with long spikes... but all the sanpedro i see have very short patches of spikes on the rib, one patch of spikes every 1-3 inches.
Peace out,

That's exactly why I think they're peruvianus and not pedros. The cacti in your 'san pedro health' thread is definately a san pedro.

Those are definately San Pedro's (Trichocereus pachanoi).Actually there's one Myrtillocactus(the one with the two heads and one peyote grafted on a Myrtillocactus).
You have to remember that these are not mature plants but 3 year old seedlings. Young San Pedro's are much spinier than mature plants. The size of the spines shrinks with age.
They are grown in a window sill without artificial illumination, although they were started under fluorecent tubes the first few months.
Here's another pic of a peyote button that i grafted onto a San Pedro.

Hmmm...I've got plenty of pachanoi seedlings, some younger than those, and none of them have spines like that...its not so much the length of the spines that makes me wonder but the fact that they seem to have fairly prominent central spines as well...I don't think I've ever seen a San Pedro with a central spine. My money is on Tr. peruvianus or macrogonus, tho I wonder how meaningful it is to assign strict species definitions to a plant that is obviously so variable...maybe we should compromise and start calling sacred cacti pachanoid, peruvianoid or bridgesioid based on what they're closest to. It would make things a lot simpler...

The only one of those cacti that looks anything like a San Pedro is the one on the left with the Peyote grafted onto it, but it might be Blue Myrtle. The rest might be Peruvians, but the're definetly not San Pedro.
I did acid once, white boy gave it to me. He said "you gonna be trippin", I said Shit, I ain't goin' nowhere without my luggage.

they may not be pedros... but i hope they're peruvians! or peruvianians. if so, ive got a lot growing wild down here! if not, you got something like cereus neotetragonus or something... =/

Those are definitely Trichocereus pachanoi, spine length has little to do with whether or not its a pedro or peru. I have seen plenty of both, and those are pedros. The general stature of the cactus, along with how the aeroles sit in the cactus at an angle rather than flush with the catus all point towards pachanoi. Also color, most peruvinanus are a darker green than pachanoi, and sometimes bluish colored. There are also no "v" notches that I can see in those pedros, something most peruvianus display, although sometimes pedro will have this feature at a much more subtle level.

Have a look at the third one from left in the back row...see how the areole is sitting on a sort of "ledge"? With pachanoi, the areole tends to sit under the ledge if you know what I mean...
I don't think colour has much to do with it, but some of those cacti have a distinctively blueish frosting, which would be unusual on a pachanoi. And the V-notching thing is a bit of a misnomer,IMO...
If you guys are that sure they're pachs I won't argue, but if I saw these for sale somewhere, I would assume them to be peruvianus or macrogonus, most likely macrogonus.
