                these are some of my cacti.all grown from seed and about 18months old. the brigds (first pic) to the left have the normal genotype patern and have a tendency to twist by the base but the 2 fat mamas to the right have something else going... they were bought (seeds) from a reputable (kohres) cacti botanist.There is a possibility that the fat guys are something else that got mixed acitentally when they were shipped by seller or they might be a monster brigdesii genotype.they are fat and compact and it looks this guys are going to be BIG n FAT.the last picture are  some torches sewed the same time and from the same seller.FAT guys dont look like torches either.

                upon review it seems you have 7 ribs not 8+ as i originally thought, seems to me youre in luck! |

                I've seen active fat blue peruvianus grow 8-9 ribs. those plants on the right in the first picture look like peruvianoids

                upon thought I belive youre right they are peruvianoids, hybrids might be.bridgesii/peruvianus.but they are not tall like torches or bridgesiis .btw today i finished repoting my collection. I not sure if the rib count is important, because I have asked people who have lots of experience cultivating cactus and  and they say it has nothing to do with potency.I have read also the contrary, shamans praising 7 rib cacti and the legendary 4 rib cactus (4 winds)... im just a blue reindeer, dont listen to me, listen to her:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ABIkH7m0s |
