    I look in the closet and count the days it takes to fully dry.

    This cactus can grow anywhere. There is no excuse. All you have to do is take a cutting and put it in the sun with occasional watering and it will sprout pups. It is so easy you wouldnt believe. It is stongest when the days are long and the temp is warm. These winter months are not swell for mescaline content. Yellowing is weak dark green strong. Lots of water but not all the time. I soak the soil about once a week and let it dry out again. Cactus pups just sprout out the cuttings. With proper root room, soil, good watering habits and a shady area. You will have very strong cactus during the long summer months. Indoor cactus will produce all year. The pachanoi do not need extreme light. They do better with shade.

    grow the cactus inside. I once kept a cutting in the closet for a few weeks. When I went to prepare the it for ceremony There was a little albino pup bustin off completely white. The cacti is hard to kill when left to grow.

    Also I searched for awhile on how to obtain seeds from the cactus. If the flowers which only bloom for 1-3 days get pollenated. Then where the flower once grew a pod will grow which is like a fruit that contains seeds. A seemling good suggestion of a tek used by the narator of the text stated that pollinating by using a qtip to pollinate the stamin with the pollen which forms below the stamin inside the flower.

    the pictures are not working for me..
    ive heard that if u take a sharp knife, and make a 180 like cut around a bunch of little spikes (like cutting the little spikes out with a little flesh) and u let it dry, and then u can use that as a seed.
    what i also think is really good for your cacti, is to cut the top.
    with the top u can let it chill for a while, and when u see some white over the bottom, u can plant it, and itll grow.
    and the cactus that u cut the top from, the cacti will regrow branches out of the sides and the main "stem" will get really fat and potent, and u will end up with a huge cacti, with a shit load of branches and healthy as fuck!

    I do believe that could possibly work.
