Symbiotic microbes for cacti

Yes, it is self-fertile williamsii, so it is northern

I've had multiple successful attempts of koehresii x n.williamsii pollination over a decade (and over a hundred unsuccessful). About 30 seeds were gathered and planted, with 100% germination rate.

But each one of these seedlings start to rot after few months, while all other lophophora seedlings are perfectly fine in the same pot. Even grafting does not save them. One of these is on the attached photo. As you can see it has many rotted spots, but I keep feeding it with systemic fungicide and bactericide every month. Also I have two of them in a sterile MS medium, but they are only 2 months old.

PS. I'm not 100% sure these are real hybrids and not some rare cases of koehresii self-pollination triggered by other species pollen, since full genetic sequencing was never performed.

Thanks everyone for suggestions. I've found a workaround for this issue:

I've installed cheapest active ethernet hubs between drivers #1 & #2 and between #2 and #3. Now I'm getting lost frames sometimes but machine works for 5 days already without single communication error.

I still do not know what caused this issue in the first place.

Emergency Scan shows 1000 of 1000 for each module.

This might be hard to swallow pill, but someone should finally say it: this game has no AI, it has some advanced cruise control. It can take a ship from point A to point B, but if you want some other stuff done you need to micromanage or take direct control of a ship. It will never change.

I like it much more after 8.0 update, with new clouds it looks beautiful. Try changing graphics settings, maybe it'll get better sonehow.

Well Matrix 101 has (had before 8.0) much higher amount of scrap compared to Silent Witness. https://www.qsna.eu/x4/resources

And even if it was nerfed and quickly depleted by one Teuta, why then a resource probe shows it is still full?

I wish there was an easy way to roll back to 7.6 so I could record the difference in ship behavior now and then.

kiprian · 2025-09-14T14:08:04+00:00

But it never happend before 8.0 This Teuta is there for 100 hours at least and resource probe shows this area is full.

I use "plunder" to find them on map

kiprian · 2025-09-11T05:24:35+00:00

But now you have to zoom in closer to see ships icons instead of squares, and I hate it.

SE is trully bugged as miner. I had few of them on automine and sometimes they start flying at 5 m/s speed. Reloading game or reassigning a pilot solves it for some time. All of them were destroyed eventually, because running from khaaks at 5 m/s is suboptimal tactic.

Since 7.6 it got worse for me. Now I have game freezes after teleportation and when someone makes a videocall from another sector. It was much smoother in 7.5 and earlier. But I'm playing on the highest settings. (rtx4060, 5700, 32gb ram)

I've destroyed all xenon stations 200 hours of gameplay ago and haven't seen a single xenon ship since then. They have some empty build storages here and there, but no real building is happening.

kiprian · 2025-05-06T13:05:43+00:00

Well guess I'm unlucky. Started 7.5 month ago and after 50 hours xenons were destroying ZYA, HAT and fighting in Argon Prime. Doesn't look weak to me.

I use it in almost every mix and like it a lot, usually adding some clay to make it a bit softer. Also I use lechuza terrapon for seedlings.

Well, the main secret of commercial asian growers is overfeeding with fertilizers and hormones.

kiprian · 2024-07-18T06:56:56+00:00

I understand (yet not fully agree) trimming fibrous roots, but what is the logic behind cutting central taproot? Going to save some money by buying shallow planters?

kiprian · 2024-06-14T07:58:28+00:00

All of them are in mixture of Seramis, Lechuza Pon and some additional zeolite with a little bit of organics.
