my san pedro has a brown area in about the middle of the cactus. is it because i didn't water him enough or does it have some other reason?
i don't water him very wuch because it's winter. once in 2 months or so

 

[DevXavier]

My peyote has one too.

As far as I know, watch the spot carefully, because it could be the start of rotting.

If it does start to shows signs of rot, cut away the brown piece.

 

[Brewmaster]

Is it a scar or a soft, brown spot? A scar won't hurt anything, but as Devxavier said, if it's getting any bigger and rotting, you should sterilize a small knife with alcohol and cut it out. Put a fan on it so the cut dries out faster to avoid catching any other kind of mold.

 

[Meduzz]

i already tought it could be rotting, but it's not soft, its more like a hard dry spot, ribs are slightly wrinkled.

and one more question: can you consume the cut away part?

 

[Brewmaster]

How long have you had the cactus? has the spot always been there? It sounds to me, if it is hard, that it is just a scar. When cacti grow close together, their spines poke and jab and can leave a cutting looking pretty rough.

a pic would help.

As far as consuming, cosidering you need a pound of fresh cactus for a trip, it's not worth it. But by all means, if you want to try a tatse test, go for it.

Hi Meduzz , i think i know what it is


Nothing to worry about mine have them to , those brown spots that lays 1 or 0,5 milimeters on the surface of the cacti and its hard like the rest of the plant , those are ancient spots .
It means your cacti is aged and gets some of those brown spots . i dont know why but it is noting serious or to worry about its natural . ( you dont need to cut those away )
I've orderd mine on internet , a cutting i've placed in a pot .. waited 2 a 3 mounths before watering , to make sure the cacti had made some roots and then i've given him some water , depends on the season .
Winters i gife just enough water to prevent drie out off the roots , Summers i give it quit more water , anyway ... every time i gave it water the spots became bigger , now it seems to be stabilazed , the spots dont become any bigger ... its normal it was an old cutting , i dont know about your plants background , but if its the same as above you dont have to worry .
just dont over water the plant its very important , always wait til the soil is completly dry , beter dry for a cacti then over waterd

Good luck , Soulflower 8)

thanks, i'm glad hearing this. my cactus was a cutting i ordered from azarius. he already grew 15cm and the brown spot is on the old part of the cactus.

Hi,

I prepared my San Pedro and made a few small pieces to taste it for my very first time. It's very bitter but tastes nicely and leaves a sort of pleasant liquid on my tongue and mouth. Most people say it's awful to chew but yet I don't see any problem with that either. My stomach absorbs it quite well as well.
For sure I won't throw up or even coming close to that.

So my question is, can I just eat it raw without any other processes such as extracting, cooking whatever. I assume this is usually done 'cause people don't want to consume it raw and orally? I will also suck on the parts
for absorption through my tongue and mouth.

 

[Brewmaster]

Of course you can eat it straight up but keep in mind that you need at LEAST a pound of pedro for a decent trip. Eating a pound of anything can be hard if you're not that hungry And trust me, it gets much worse as you go.

If you can do it, I'll send you $5.

 

[Brewmaster]

Offer is void if you throw it all up.

 

[Brugmansia]

It was about 35 centimeters long. (13 inch / 1 foot) for you Americans. I'll weight it too.

LOL, I estimate it'll take an hour before I ate everything. But it might get worse as you said after a certain period of time.

Anyway, when I can't go further, I'm guessing putting it in the mixer with water is fine too? And just drink it? Or shall I start with it?

The dollar bill is fine, but with the currency course now I'll hardly get any euro's for it.

 

[Brewmaster]

Really man, the easiest way to do it is throw it all in a blender, dump it into a pot with an equal amount of water and juice from one lemon. Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat so that it's just simmering for an hour. After an hour, pour all this muck into a new pot but use an old shirt to strain out the cactus gunk. Put the cactus back into the original pot with a little more water and simmer for another hour. Strain out cactus and combine the juice of both boils (you can do it a 3d time if you want). Now you can just let it boil until most of the water evaporates and your left with just a few shot glasses worth.

Taking 2 or 3 big swallows of snot is a hell of a lot easier than chawing down a foot of pedro. I've eaten a whole log before (cooked in a wok served over rice) and I felt sick for probably the first six hours of the trip. I wouldn't do it again. :bear: :thumbsdown:

The last time I cut this one was the best San Pedro trip I've had so far. Now it decided to grow two branches - something I have longed for, none of my San Pedros has grown more than one branch so far.
So I gave it the star treatment and invited it in for a little photo shooting

I've been growing these cacti for maybe 7 or 8 years, and I was either so stoned or tripping so hard around the time that I ordered the seeds, I can't remember who I ordered them from. Anyways, I think they're peruvianus but was hoping someone who knows about trichocereus species could throw in their two cents..... I want to positively identify them before I eat them :wink:

 

[GOD]

Looks like it .

 

[Mr.Smith]

i think so also
