I know I have a boo boo. I will patch it correctly. I will be using that inline fan to exchange air in between the veg and flower chamber. It will be controlled by a thermostat via a fan relay.

I fed the red wigglers a few melon cores... every single one sprouted. Just took a scissor and trimmed them all... they ate that as well as loved that shit. Not even a seed shell left behind you must love it.

Just popped several packs. Top Dawg Seeds gifted to me by none other than Money Mike himself. Blessed are you who read these words. This shit still goes down for real. Also popped a pack from People Under The Stairs which also came into my possession without payment. It all happens for a reason people. Just find your reason. A be a good wizard.

Hey man, just fyi. That San Pedro looks to be a PC (predominant cultivar) type. They aren't really worth the effort, for the alk content. But they are pretty, and hardy. I made the mistake of buying PC as my first SP cactus, but since then I've accumulated quite a few different strains. Some are mostly just for looks, some are more sacramental.

Some good ones to grab, if you can;
-TBM-B
-Ugunbodede
-SS-02
-Torres y Torres
-Piano Man
-Lumberjack

The list goes on... but those are a few special types. And in general most Bridgessi will be better for sacramental use than Pachanoi's will. There are exceptions, that's just a general rule of thumb.

Thank you for this information! I was under the impression that pachanoi were preferred for sacramental use... I will certainly look into those cultivars you mention as my intention is to cultivate a sacrament. (damn. shouldn't that ALWAYS be the goal?)

Do you have any good sources for the aforementioned varities?

The sumoner controls the sumoneE. Unless of course the sumoner is foolish - practicing beyond his means and abilities. In which case he perhaps deserves everything he recieves. UREAPwhatUSOW as a WISE MAN once said...

There are several places to source them from. Probably the easiest is reddit/r/sanpedrocactusforsale

Also, if you really want to go down the rabbit hole, check out Trouts Notes (just google it). So much information! This guy lives and breathes cacti, specifically the good ones.

Also also, I would avoid the current "hype" cuts (it works just like the weed community does). They're always overpriced, and lots of the older, established strains are just as good. But people always want the "new new". Everything I listed above, except for Piano Man, have been around for years, and are fairly reasonable. TBM-B, and TBM-C are probably the strongest out there, but also the slowest growing...

I would start with one or two cuttings each, of maybe 3-4 varieties. In 2-3 years, you will have enough to be self sustaining forever. Provided you keep it to a couple sessions a year. It can become an all consuming hobby if you let it. So try to keep yourself in check. Don't do what I did, and spend $1,500 assembling a collection in one season. Because soon enough you will have more than you want to manage.

A homie sprouted these seeds a few years ago and just shared the cuts with me yesterday. I don't know if these particular crosses are out there, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were.
Get some different varieties and we can trade in a few years if ya want. My # always the same :smoke out:

From left to right
SS02 × TBM
PSYCO O × TBM
JULLES GIANT × TBM

We got babies!

35 in total. All standard M/F.

I popped a bunch of stuff from @MOneYMiKe . Thank you kind sir.

I had some low germ rates on some stuff due to my mailbox being 110F in S. FL...
I'm sad to say none of the $ Chem popped. I was looking forward to this one the most, however, I got 12 Chem D X Dirty Taxi that are taking the hurt away. THEY FUCKING REEK AS LITTLE SEEDLINGS! And I'm not just saying that. I got a few strong whiffs as I was moving things around getting ready to transplant them from trays to solo cups but I dismissed it as being something dried that was laying around. But once I started up potting one by one...damn! I'm really hoping the cannabis gods bless me with something special.

Also have 2 Dirty Caddy seedlings. Elvis X Dirty Taxi. These maybe could have used a little scarification. I'm hopeful they are both females.

We got about 7 or 8 Sourdawg X Dirty Taxi which are little stunted because I popped them in some stupid egg carton container which keopt them tiny. They are bouncing back though and will all make it.

Still have a pack of TCPK X Dirty Taxi but I ran out of room.

Also popped a pack of Original Diesel X GMODD from People Under the Stairs.
Have about 14 of those. My counts are slightly off.

Here they are all mad at me and then again 4 days later. At least I know they like the space.

A stinky ass Chem D X Dirty Taxi

Got to throw a tray of wheat grass in real quick to stock the freezer.

I finally found my molded 240v plug for the ballast and fired up the whole shebang for some temperature testing. Everything is close to perfect as designed :) . Just have to get some CO2 bottles filled and the soil mixed up. I never painted the flower but I will get it done before its time. I'll get some shots in all her glory.
