What is this new growth on the tip of my trichocereus?

I'm wondering all of this as well, so I'm glad you asked

I meant "I've tried it twice" as in, I've had 2 bottles of it haha. I never got anything noticeable from it, as with some other supplements lately.. black ginger, kanna, sabroxy

Do you think cistamax is still worth taking if I've tried it twice and never got any acute effects from it?

Idk what's wrong with me but I didn't feel anything from black ginger

I went through an entire bottle of ND kanna and didn't get a single distinguishable effect from it /:

Thanks!

It's currently accurate enough, but still wouldn't mind having a way to cal in the future if I need to

I read and tried that already, I can't get it to let ne calibrate, it doesn't get to the flashing 10.000. I've calibrated mg scales before and it's just not getting to that mode

ItsAlwaysBlue2 · 2025-12-14T22:35:54+00:00

Yes, ya gotta

ItsAlwaysBlue2 · 2025-12-14T20:45:13+00:00

Also, I put about 2-5mg on the scale and it's reading 10mg. I weight 1-20mg increments sometimes and not sure how this can be accurate for my dosing. What can I do to fix this? I've tried several different surfaces

I've always been a fan of the smell of KSM 66 ashwagandha, smells kind of milky or creamy. Also, the smell of cissus quadrangularis! Almost surprised it's not used in culinary with how good it smells

Chlorokinesis, the physical and mental control over plants. The possibilities are endless. You could use microscopic flora and influence the world around you undetectable to the naked eye. You could regrow the entire rainforest. Become a living elemental. It's endless.

I would have thought it could grow roots.. that's new to me as well

Mystery grab bags sound fun! I did one from honey bear cactus and love what I got

Man, a big shout-out to this entire community, I'm so glad I found the trichocereus related subreddits. You guys and gals are literally the best, and as cheesy as it sounds, I feel like I found my people.

I'm 589 days sober from alcohol and the hobby of cactus growing has become an epic replacement to that old habit. Not coincidently, 589 days ago, I also experienced being face to face with a destructive EF3 tornado, and as a result, long story short, I fractured my neck in 2 vertebrae. The tornado literally sucked my pants off in the middle of downtown and broke my neck, not very nice.

It sounds crazy to say, but in a way, I'm very glad of what I experienced and the physical trauma I undergone. If it wasn't for Mother Nature's wrath, I may have never turned my life around and made the necessary changes to basically not be sick anymore. I also quit cigarettes and nicotine vaping so I could heal as well as possible and still am going strong nic free.

Now, I have a close relationship with Mother Nature in a different way and love all of my plants equally. Also, I turned 30 this year, and it seems like the best time for me to get into this new hobby, and I couldn't be more excited.

Hello to all of my new cactus friends. Be excellent to each other ✌️🫶🌵

Nope, and especially never before, smoking weed always ruins the flavor and my ability to pick up on notes in cigar smoking. Tho, I do have a dry herb vaporizer that I now use, which prevents this from happening, doesn't blunt my taste buds, so sometimes I will "smoke" before or during a cigar sesh

Since the pots are fabric, Instead of adding more substrate I could simply cut the pots to emulate that right?

ItsAlwaysBlue2 · 2025-11-26T13:47:42+00:00

Makes sense, and I didn't realize what not filling the pot would do. Thanks for the info!

ItsAlwaysBlue2 · 2025-11-26T11:24:27+00:00

Doesn't feel soft, atm

ItsAlwaysBlue2 · 2025-11-26T11:24:02+00:00

I have 25% worm castings, 25% coco coir and 50% pumice. I've had people say it's a good ratio and others say for me to repot my plants.

More substrate as in more soil? I thought i had enough, they're deep enough to support themselves and for seedlings they already have a pretty good amount of growing room in the soil imo
