How long before you can harvest em?

He won't be a baby boy then lol

You already know. Haha. These things take forever. Hence why they're so rare. People pick them and police destroy them, and they take so damned long.

Many years ago I had a fairly large rare cacti collection, some I had started back in high school. I got really avid after I was discharged and built it up, I had 3 Lophophora. Any way after grad school I got a gig in Minnesota so left the collection in the care of a friend. Long-short, worst rainstorm in 20 yrs, high-peaked roof and the collection got flooded and died.

That is a fucking tragedy. Like, really, that hurts me to my core. Between Ayahuasca and mescaline-bearing cacti, they've been a real medicine for me. Like, weed helps, but psychedelics help me keep my shit straight for several months at a time. Particularly with how slow these little guys grow, it's a real shame to hear.

I was heart-broken, and couldn't get back on the horse. 2 of the L. I had wild collected and they were at time of death 15-20 yo. Never grew cacti again; don't really have enough time to get on the horse now

Mushrooms are good, and fairly easy to grow, quick too.

This is about 2-3 days of spawning from rye grain to bulk sub. Compost is horse manure, exotic zoo manure, coir, vermiculite, and gypsum. Strain is Mazatec/Mazatapec.

Nice! We grew them in quart masons. I like your way better

I tend to buy pre-sterilized single-use spawn bags with filtered gas exchange vent and self-healing injection ports. It's only 5-6 bucks each for two 1 lbs. spawn bags and one 5 lbs. mushroom compost bag. It takes out the tedious part of having to pressure cook jars of BRF and crossing your fingers you pasteurized and sterilized correctly.

We did ours in the lab in grad school, 4 of us were growing, made everything in the lab, pro equipment, etc. Thank you UC

That's so awesome. I wish it were like that here.

 

[Singlemalt]

Olden days, everything had to be made and even spores were collected. Many failures, but sufficient successes. I'd hate to do it at home with that old tech

I opted for the much quicker growing cacti, that cacti putty was made from about as much cacti that's on the uncut one so should have a couple good trips

Bridgesii, yeah? I prefer Pachanoi, but I'd like to grow Peruvianus.

 

[Bublonichronic]

These are Peruvians , I'm pretty sure...whoops no I mean San Pedro

 

[Olive Drab Green]

Peruvianus usually has long, brown spines. That could also be Pachanoi (San Pedro)

 

[Olive Drab Green]

Yeah, San Pedro. I usually get short, fat ones (Shuddup, @dannyboy602 ).

You may have to arm wrestle @cannabineer first.

If I get them under lights, a year, year and a half. Maybe 2 or 3. Under sun, 10-20 years.

Holy Fuck!

1 or 2 or 3 years? That's a long ass grow journal.

Right? You can accelerate then by grafting then to something like a San Pedro, though. And they then share alkaloid profiles.
