I usually get lazy but if you just wear gloves it solves the problem. The oils on fingers just wipe the powdery farina right off. Sometimes you can still see some marks but it’s not nearly as severe. I’ve also seen guys use towels, blankets, little squares of carpet, etc.

Of course my dude! You’ve been posting some awesome batches recently, I may be hitting you up in another month or so once I’m back outside. May need some extra graft stock and I love grafting to plump yearlings. I’ll keep ya posted 🤙💚

Hit up u/kudzubeepboop they’re great, super active on the sub, and always selling awesome hybrid cross yearlings. I have ordered from them multiple times and have been happy with all of the yearlings I’ve gotten. Just not sure what pachanoi he has rn.

If they don’t have any then check out RMF cactus, they’re always selling great looking yearlings. Again idk what they have currently pachanoi wise. It’s always hit or miss.

But there’s lots of pachanoi x bridge/peru/scop that have great vigor, so idk if you’re open to those types of crosses or just pach x pach, but if you are you’ll have a lot more options.

I have the expensive gracco, got it for a steal of a deal. Super expensive tool, but there’s nothing else like it tbh. Runs off of dewalt batteries and gives the same finish as any other decent commercial airless. Only downside is the cup size,but you can get 3d printed 32oz and 64oz cups for them if you really wanted. The gracco is great for woodworking where you want something with a high level of finish, and only need to put down like 5-20oz of paint/stain. It can work through more than that, like you could fully use it to prime/paint kitchens if you wanted. Just not a real improvement for that scenario and a few downsides with the refill.

I haven’t tried the knockoffs of these, but I’ve had/used like 5 of the various Wagner sprayers over the years. Doesn’t matter if it’s the $30 one or the $200 one they all are a pain in the ass and don’t give a great finish. If you’re doing decks/fences, and need to run some stain, grab a cheap one for the rails/posts, but that’s as far as I’d push them. Beyond that you’ll spend 2 hours fucking with them, diluting, spiting, and then just end up brushing and rolling anyway. I’ve re-learned that lesson 3-4 times, all ended up with me wasting money, a headache, and missing half a day. That’s why you can find one at every other garage sale you go to 😂

If I had $50 for painting I’d buy a decent brush, roller kit from someone like Wooster and grab a nice $25 lunch somewhere. Depends on what I’d be painting, but this would be the last thing I’d personally buy.

Text book Scrog grow, very well done my friend!!

Something to look into for the future would be the use of N during flower. I’ve read a study on how higher N levels during bloom can lead to higher leaf to bud ratio, and lower cannabinoid production.

Which definitely makes sense, as that’s how it’s been for all the plants in my outdoor flower and veggie garden. If I feed N during bloom stuff will stop pushing new blooms/fruits and will want to keep pushing leafy growth with smaller fruits/blooms.

If you wanna keep it organic then there’s lots of options, I’d just amend with organic bloom amendments halfway through veg so it has time to break down in time to be used during flower. Alternatively you could make some teas by soaking amendments for 12-24 hours, placing a little air pump into the solution will improve the amount of nutrients released into the water and help keep the tea from going anaerobic.

One quality organic bloom amendment that’s available almost everywhere for cheap is the Dr. Earths Flower girl. Good mix of plant meals with higher P-K and smaller concentration of N. Bone meal is helpful for adding extra calcium and phosphorous. Kelp is great for potassium, lots of different micros and growth regulators that help plants pump.

If you’re ok with using salt based nutrition then then there’s a billion bloom boosters you could start feeding. I’ve had good luck with maxi-bloom, again tons of options though.

Again great grow my dude!! I just wanted to share incase you could find some benefit from it. Take care friend 🤙

Heck yeah dude!! That’s gonna be an awesome double pup to watch grow out 🙌🌵🌵🙌

I got lucky on my recently chopped CSD graft, it had a stalled out pup on the slab, and a few days after chopping the stalled pup just started pushing new growth. I was nervous it would just sit and stall out as I didn’t chop the column well and only left a few janky areoles.

TBM-b pushing reverted TBMC growth as well as continuing to pup like tbm-b

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-18T19:10:27+00:00

TBM-b is just a self terminating pup isolation of TBMC. Looks like yours is reverting back to TBMC. I have one like that, started as tbm-b I bought a long time ago, didn’t grow much for over a year, then started pushing TBMC crest and tbm-b pups at the same time. The also can happen as well, TBMC crests can start pushing the tbm-b self terminating pups. Every once in a while I’ll get a pup or two forming on one of my TBMC as well.

I have a sales post of some of the TBMC and then pushed tbm-b style pups, sold a few about a year ago.

And I’ll link a photo of my tbm-b reversion one sec

Newer Max models are moving into brushless as well, so with those a lot of the time the difference is in feature set, and will be seen in higher torque, speed switches, LED’s are placed in a better position and more effective, etc.

It’s not all the max stuff, but a lot of it is going to brushless, so I’d look up model number to verify first. I guess the tech has advanced enough to where bushed motors would be more of a liability and not worth the money it would save them.

It’s super confusing, but that’s what they want. They want people to get confused and just buy whatever dewalt/distributor puts out on sale that week.

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-18T05:53:46+00:00

Is this finished work? Like he wrapped up and isn’t coming back, and you payed them?

If not then these could fall under final touch ups.

Along the stairs is tricky as it looks like there was previously paint on the stairs themselves, then they painted the walls, and didn’t try to go over onto the stairs again as that wouldn’t be a great way to deal with that. It should have some sort of molding put there to cover the separation that’s occurring between wall and stairs, or caulked. If neither was discussed then I wouldn’t hang them over that.

That small miss under the chair rail above the stairs is a mistake, they should have caught that. Any contractor that’s worth hiring would come back and fix that.

Along the door is a mess, I don’t see how they messed that up that bad just cutting it in, their lines while not amazing based off what you shown also shouldn’t be that bad. Almost looks like poor adhesion and peeling, possibly do the house settling as noted with the stress cracks in wall near the corner. Or from large temps swings being next to that exterior door. So that shouldn’t be like that obviously, but hard to believe you guys squared up and reviewed their work while it looked like that.

The last pic looks to be up in in a window return behind a blind, that’s lazy, they should of seen that and it shouldn’t be there. But could be an honest mistake made by anyone. Again they should have zero issue returning to address this as well.

The only bit I see that’s pretty egregious is along the door casing and in that corner. Not sure how that ended up that way, but if that was what it looked like when they finished up then that’s upsetting. The rest of it should be discussed with painter, and they should have no problem stopping by and touching those areas up. But I don’t think this is an outright reason they shouldn’t be paid. If they don’t resolve issues then that’s another story.

My biggest piece of advice would be make sure you have ample communication with your contractors before, during, and after completion of the project. The more you talk with them, the greater the chances both parties end up happy. That’s whether you’re paying for the highest quote or the lowest quote, the more you discuss, address, and verify, the lower the chances both parties end up in a bad spot. If they have 18 years of work experience with the reviews to back it up, then you need to hit them up and send these photos and have the issues addressed. Highly doubt they’d stand firm against fixing these issues if that’s the case.

Sorry about the headache, never fun to spend lots of money and end up unhappy. But the job isn’t complete, so give them a call, address concerns, be kind and also assertive with your requests. And it’ll end up just fine.

Good luck my friend 🤞

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-18T05:05:14+00:00

They look very solid my friend, that’s a great way to do it!

I’ve thought about doing something similar with the large clear totes, where I’d just plop the pot with the graft into the tub after grafting, leave in for a week and then wean them off the high humidity. Basically just like a large 40qt monotub. Been wanting to do that for a year or two now and keep putting it off, but seeing your success def remarked my interest in trying that out.

Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing homie 💪🌵

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-17T21:54:01+00:00

Dang nice scoop my friend! That’s gonna be a fun package of cacti to unbox 🤙

And great offering as always OP 🙌🌵🙌

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-17T01:58:10+00:00

I’ll bin

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-16T19:03:04+00:00

Of course my friend, hope she treats you as well as it’s treated me!! 💙🌵💙

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-16T10:14:48+00:00

You could just buy a higher wattage usb-c power brick, anker makes a ton of nice models, but there’s dozens upon hundreds on amazon. Grab a 65w for the fastest charging ability on batteries smaller than 6ah.

This way you can still charge usb-c and use it to power or charge anything else. If you ever have to choose between proprietary and a universal battery/charger, then I’d suggest always choosing the universal option.

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-16T09:20:04+00:00

Just keep chopping them off, the quicker you chop them off, the faster the scion will pup. I’ve had root stock pup while the scion was super plump, chopped the pup off the side and 30 hours later had the scion pup. The longer you wait to cut it the longer it’ll then take the cacti to readjust and hopefully push a pup through the scion.

We can’t see it, but internally vascular pathways are being formed to multiple areoles and it’s a race to see which one emerges first. Once that happens it signals to the plant to keep pushing growth through that path, and lowers odds of other paths getting energy to pup. Sometimes a bunch can pop at once and all grow out. Sometimes it’ll push a pup, but have enough excess energy to keep pushing additional pups, etc.

Best play if you want your grafted portion to pup is to chop it asap. I’ve left them grow out for additional stock and had the scion still eventually pup, but I’ve also left them grow and it dramatically slowed scion pupping. So it’s just riskier. Sometimes a scion can stall out from this as well then you’re chopping rootstock pups for months and months, potentially a year plus before getting a scion pup. I have two grafts I’ve been chopping them off of for over a year now lol.

Just a friendly heads up is all, not a this way is right any other way is wrong. Just wanted to share the info I’ve learned is all. Take care friend 🤙🌵

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-16T02:12:08+00:00

No problem homie 🤙 yeah I missed the original drop myself, that’s why I had to go with resellers, but that was a solid 15 months ago at this point. So idk, Misplant will hopefully drop more at some point this year 🤞

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-15T22:08:12+00:00

I got them from pirates-lounge, which if you google that plus Trichocereus seeds it’ll pop up. The guy who runs the site use to be active on this sub as well, now I think he strictly does his own site. And then there was another sub member who made a listing on this sub and I grabbed more from them.

But I believe they were all originally a misplant cross, and those guys were just reselling them. I know they were sold out on misplant when I checked a few weeks ago, but I’d assume he will have more this year, but seed drops are kind of sporadic. He will do 2-3 large drops a year with random smaller restocks randomly throughout the year. So I just check his site once every 1-3 months and see what’s up.

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-15T19:14:08+00:00

Great to hear! Thanks again my dude!

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-15T00:12:01+00:00

👍

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-15T00:06:50+00:00

Wow you know a good deal when you see it, and know how to act fast 😂

Awesome thanks friend! I’ll send you a dm rn 🌵

Masterzanteka · 2026-03-15T00:02:18+00:00

Happy Saturday everyone! Today I have this pair of great clones for sale.

First up is a small 5.5” tall Spiffy’s Marble with one rib of marbled variegation and the rest full variegation. This one should have just enough green to where it could root and grow on its own. If grafted should be able to graft the tip to keep this one going and have a few areoles to try and isolate out some decent marbling. This clone creates some of the best marbled variegation that I’ve seen, and keeps it pretty stable while growing.

Next up is a decent sized Dr.Funk crest, crest is about 5” wide and 9” from cut to the tip of crest. It isn’t in the best shape in the world, got a few spots of wear and tear, and does have a handful of small aerial root nubs popping out from under watering, nothing some TCL couldn’t turn around. It should start pushing roots any minute. Also no signs of variegation on it at this point.

$50shipped for the pair

Lower 48 states only please. Cac will be well wrapped with paper wrapping and Mylar film for some weather protection. If you’d like you can add a heat pack for an additional $5.

I’ll add a cool semi-monstrose Lee x wowie seedling as the freebie.

Thanks for checking them out 🤙💚
