I measured this, it's exactly 32cm long, so is it wise to make it into two 16cm cuttings? and what's the best way to do it? is this method good:

Hack the cacti using an sterile tool
put the tip in shade and let the scar form to prevent infections
once the scar has formed, put it in the soil for roots to form

huh?

fan dry the stump to form the scar quicker. You don't want to give mold a chance.

and dance around it nude. Be careful though (for obvious reasons)

You have to peirce your tounge with the spine while dancing around it nude, and then divine the future by dripping your blood onto small peices of paper and burning them... I know it sounds weird... But it helps the cactus grow.

huh?
not sure where you heard that, but thats not true

My advice would be to wait a while before cloning it. I personally wait untill they are nice and fat at the base (a few years or so). One clone with a strong and far reaching root base will prroduce more plant matter than two clones with a small root base! By cutting the plant you are forcing energy into new shoots and not root growth. Plus the plant will eventually offset when it's bored by itself and you can get a clone form that.

And if you do decide to tip it, dont just take the tip, cut her off at the base, that way you can bury the stump (once its caloused over) and new shoots will pop out from the gound rather than a stump half a foot tall.

But thats just my opinion, I take great pride in growing cacti that are beautiful to look at in the garden. Half cut stumps and odd sized Trichs (skinny then fat then skinny etc) look a bit odd in the garden.... I think its worth putting in the time and effort to get even growth and balance in the garden.... Even if your just going to gobble them up one day

sorry

me thinks its not very active at all

me thinks you need to study the spines and coloration (id have a different opinion if the spies were black or red)

me thinks you have what we thinks we calls cuscoed, implying the potential for peruvianus potency was retardified by this weird "cusco" genetic mistake for peruvianus. i have sampled a few and been disapointed with such a pretty plant and without more than stomach discomfort,
i can be wrong too
but methinks you need you an achuma
trichocereus bridgesii has treated this cat well
thats why this cat knows his catism

Nonsense.... One thing I have never seen is a Peruvanoid with black spines!

Coloration of the spines has very little to do with it, I have many many different Trichs, they are all active some more than others, even the PC clones are active, Ive yet to encounter an inactive one.

I watch the color of the spines, the shape of the ribs and the color of the skin change dramatically at different places on the same plant! You could take a picture of the bottom of my mother stock and then the tip and swear they are different plants.

Is it a cuzco? perhaps... is it inactive, definitely not!. Id say its plenty active! The main thing to look for in a clone is strong characteristics.... i.e. fast even growth, a thick bloom on the skin, good and fast root development. strong genes in any of those places is a winner, particularly root growth. Mix them up with other vaiants, Pachanoi/peruvianus/Bridgesii and you can end up with great plants

The strongest clone I have came from the most unlikely place and seems to be a mix of Pachanoi and Scopulacola. It produces no bloom on the skin has no spines but grows roots like nothing else and just powers up and up.

me agrees with your disconnect of my pragmatism
my experiences have lead me to this understanding, yours however is enveloping of my own limited perspective.
disregard my spines comment, try it out for yourself and get back to us.

i have only had peruvianus a few times, mostly im down with the achuma salad
