Re: LW, B. Torch, P. Torch

Sorry to hear about the Lophs - everyone has some losses, but it's a real downer to lose all of one species. I hope you have better luck with the new batch. No rush about potting them up, they'll handle it better when they're bigger. I'd leave them in these pots for this year, unless they really st...

Re: LW, B. Torch, P. Torch

Hello again! It's been a few months since I posted, and thought I would drop an update in here. My first attempt with LW from seed was a complete failure. Leanred the lessons of mold/fungus and gnats are not friends of cacti seedlings. Luckily I had some remaining seeds and started another culture s...

Re: LW, B. Torch, P. Torch

Awesome. Thanks for the input! Luckily the closet shares the room in which my grow tent is, and humidity tends to stay pretty high due to the other plants transpiring. I do run a dehumidifier, but that only knocks things down to a cool 60%, which in 80F feels like San Antonio in the summer. I'll def...

Re: LW, B. Torch, P. Torch

They're spread awfully thin, though. Cactus seedlings like to be crowded, you didn't need to use so many pots. Yeah, I was anticipating more to germinate. I certainly sowed more seeds than what sprouted, that's for sure! Lesson learned, been kickin myself since seeing some of the posts around here ...

LW, B. Torch, P. Torch

Hello! TL;DR: I'm a complete newb who decided to start some seeds before doing adequate research, and am concerned the research I did do was misguided. Pictures at bottom of post. As the title says, I have four containers with Lophophora Williamsii (LW going forward; the site I bought them from clai...

Hello from SW Washington

Hello! I'm mycelium, can call me myc for short. While I'm not a complete newb to growing cacti, I've never been too successful at it. Hence joining here. I'm an avid gardener of many things, and have chosen to add even more complexity to an already diverse portfolio of plant-like beings by starting ...
