First Post....My garden and a couple ID questions...

Hey everyone, Ive been going on this forum for while, and I finally decided to make a profile and start posting. I thought I would start out with my grow box in my room that hold some cacti and other Entheogens. This is a view of the whole grow cab:

These are some T. peruvianus seedlings that just sprouted recently:

Now, I am unsure about three of the cacti that I have in my grow. I'm pretty sure that some of them are T. peruvianus, but there are two that I have no clue about at all. If anyone could help me with a couple IDs that would be extremely helpful. Thanks!
1- Pretty sure theses 2 are T. peruvianus, but one may be a bridgesii. What do you guys think?


2. This one, I have no idea about and have been really wanting to know what type it is:

First off, Welcome To The Shroomery. Nice garden. What do you have next to the cacti (The agave/ aloe vera looking thing)? What size light are you using? Sorry, I can't help on the id's...
Edit: And whats behind the aloe vera?
Be careful of the paper getting too hot by that light. Fire= Bad news.

Thanks. The succulent on the left is in fact an Aloe Vera Plant. The green pot with small seedlings coming up is Ephedra Sinica and the other pot in the left corner is a few assorted cacti. I've also got three 12" San Pedro cuttings that are being rooted outside of the grow box, until they root in. I then hope to move them in under the artificial lighting. For lighting, I'm using a 105 watt, 5500 K, CFL, with a 30 watt Daylight CFL on the side for supplemental lighting. Do you think this is sufficient light for this type of small grow? Im hoping to move up to larger amounts of plants, but everyone needs to start somewhere!

Aww...that sucks... a lot. I guess its better to find out than to have my friend try to eat one of those and get poisoned or something, and not get any psycodelic effects. Though it might be funny to do that anyway. This is a real let down...I guess I gotta start somewhere...

nothing poisonous about cacti, so no need to worry about that... well u have a good collection of cacti that would make ideal grafting stocks at least...

nothing poisonous about cacti? i don't think i would fry up any Euphorbia, personally
don't be disappointed, they will grow up big and pretty just like any other cacti. They can also be used for grafting.

Thanks for the info guys...I feel very welcome on this forum! You all seem very knowledgeable. This is such a great hobby, that I am very thankful to have gotten involved in. I've got a lot to learn though. I just wanted to post a picture of three San Pedro cuttings that I recently put in pots. [image]http:// [/image]
I was wondering if they would root in now, because I think they may be in their dormant state. Here in New England, we have cold winters, but I am keeping my Pedros inside at 72 F under 130 watts of lighting. Will these cuttings root in, or do I have to wait until the spring/ summer???
P.S.- kadakuda that Lophophora williamsii in your avatar is extremely impressive. Did you grow that from seed?
