After cutting a bridgsii is there any general rule of thumb on how long it should take new pups to start? One in the past never produced any new pups for some reason. So i kinda want to know so if it doesnt happen in a certain time frame i know it probily wont.

While I've never cut any of my assured bridgesii specimens, another one I have that looks half way between pachanoi and bridgesii took about 5 months to show signs of new life after I'd given up on it for dead. downwardsfromzero attached the following image(s):  IMG_1180.JPG (3,798kb) downloaded 68 time(s). “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

I've only done the sideways planting once, and it did seem to take a long time to pup. Go figure. I used to harvest at the end of the Season but a couple of years ago I harvested at the peak of the Season and everything I cut back pupped like crazy. Live and learn (and cactus).  My flesh moves, like liquid. My mind is cut loose.

Each case is diferent : from 2 weeks to 2 month seem usual but the range is much wider. « I love the smell of boiling MHRB in the morning »

OP, you could look into BAP6 which is a well-known pupping hormone--

I've don't own any bridgsii but a y other cactus I cut (that sits vertically) takes a thing from 2 weeks to 2 months.
