Peyote seedlings!

where on earth did you procure those

Here's a low quality picture of a L. williamsii seedling grafted to a Pereskiopsis root stock. We'll see what it looks like compaired to the ungrafted seedlings in a month or two. The graft has fully healed and is currently showing new growth.

NICE. pm me later, i'm curious as to where you got your seeds from

Holy shit! my dads friend had some chunks of peyote, we stole quite a bit from him.. Did it once. Haven't done it since.

Where'd you get the seeds?

My buddy lives in the netherlands, it's legal to grow there. He orderd them from cactusplaza.nl

those are kool.i tried growing them once they died.

what is your medium???soil mix or your own mix

doesn't it take a LONG time to grow a decent size plant?

a real long time...anywhere from 3-5 years

No, only 18-24 months. It's worth the wait! My buddy likes to start at least 200 cacti at the beginning of every year.

Cacti doesnt take that long to grow.

If its a peyote species they will be small to begin with, i guess it depends on how much you grow in one spot. My dads friend had a tub filled with seedlings and cacti. It was some good Mescal for sure

How long do they take from seed to first sprout? Ive never grown from seed but ive had cacti given to me and have grafted a few Ive found a straight place to buy seeds from just dont know if I want to invest the time right now. Im not self employed anymore and doin the 40hr work week thing kinda sucks!

They germinate pretty fast, my buddy had seeds sprout the day after planting them. I would recomend against buying cactus seeds from an entheogen dealer/vendor, look for a breeder.

My buddy has 2 different sources for his seeds. He orderd 100(which was really 250) seeds from cactus plaza, and received around 30 for free from a friend. The 30 he received were very fresh, harvested the end of last year. The fresh ones started sprouting the next day after planting with 100% germination rate. The seeds he received from cactusplaza.nl took longer(5-10 days) to sprout and had about a 80% germ rate. Old seeds will take longer to break dormancy!

He has good results placing several seeds inside a ziplock bag and misting them lightly(for humidity, no pools of water). He then places the bag on a heat pad and 1 foot/12inch/30cm under a 23 watt Daylight spectrum CFL. You should see the seeds hatch and a little white ball with hairs(shaped like a microscopic octopuss). When the seedlings turn green put them in clay pots with a humidity dome. He does all his germinating, grafting, crowning, and rooting cuttings indoors. He then brings them out under a blue tarp when they are no longer vulnerable to the elements.

You wont be investing much time, just grow them as you live your life! They are pretty hard to kill, unless you get crazy with the nutes and watering can.

what the heck is peyote? do you smoke it?

It's a cactus, you eat it.

do you get high?

You really never heard of Peyote before?

Google Peyote!

Here are some updated pictures. They are the same plants from the March 26, 2008 pictures.

Sweet shit dude, I myself have a 6 year old peyote growing at the moment. Man these little guys take so long to grow :S

I absolutely recommend getting a very wide large pot so those get really big!
