Here is one of my potted williamsi. I am interested in Peyote, San Pedro and Peruvian Torch and grow them from seed. Looking to exchange hints and tips.

Pretty.  Looks well taken care of.  I'm guessing 8 year old?..... or is she a grafter...

I have to be honest, the reason I got interested in sacred cactus is for the effect mescaline has/had on my psychology. However, the longer I have had my 3 big peyote the less I want to harvest them. Im told they will grow back if done right but it still doesn't seem right. Thats the reason for getting into growing. After a few years I find I am quite into it, a bit like an obscure nerdy hobby.

Eat it :D  Thats what you grew it for.  If you remove the buttons correctly itwill regrow.  

Or if you are concerned how about remove a few buttons and see how it regrows before removing a few more.

I was allowed to vote again, this time I voted for you to eat it. What have you done since April?

Nothing, they're still growing, flowering again and one has a small seed pod appearing.

You should consider perhaps doing a little grafting, though I couldn't tell you if this is a good time of year to do it.

But why can you say that you know that the cactus want to be eaten.  :baffled:
They speak to me every day and they wanna freak out if they know that :beek:
