hi,
can anyone comment on the potency of SS02xJuuls and SS01xJuuls ? any other SS hybrid worth knowing?
I am adding these to my collection soon and would like to know from others experience regarding potency, alkaloids, etc...
many thanks !

Id like to know the same thing.has anyone here done a bioassay on some of sacred succulents cacti?

I'd leave SS03 and SS04 alone...

Albert, Im trying to track RS0001 (was originally obtained from Sticky Business in Sebastopol, CA) do you know what happened to this plant? any seed available,bmaybe with an other name?

i originally had two different but related plants that i obtained as RS0001, i was told that the name was given to seedlings of the same lot and was not a clone name...? i am unsure, Trout only illustrates a single clone in his San Pedro book TN3B, it mentions there that is is reliable and slimey... it also says a section 8 inches long by 4 inches wide was clearly over 500mg mescaline in terms of equivalent activity, but given the size of that... that seems a little on the weak side when you compare that to potent clones of bridgesii or pachanoi.

the RS0001 were both fat blue forms, typical of the active matucana, akin to the los genteles and the icarosDNA material

the cat who was the source for these, and i don't know where he got them, (maybe Sticky Business?) advertised in the Entheogen Review, he used a pseudonym of Kakster... I think?
I think he named them, and the other RS plants, I had RS0004, RS0005, RS0001 but not the RS0002 or RS0003

I have a few hundred seedlings of a Juuls/Peruv X RS0004 growing right now... RS0004 grows very fast and is quite active, but does not have the best recovery in terms of extraction and i heard that an isoquinoline like norweberine was found in it

You won't find RS0001 seed... but you could find a couple of cuttings of it here and there, if i am not mistaken, and i might be.

I was going to mention, in his San Pedro book Trout mentions a pachanoid type plant grown for sacramental purposes on some Hawaiian island that he does not mention. it is said to grow 6-8 inches wide... anyway it says (page 19) that the person who reported this said that they attended a ritualized use of the plant where 'several dozen' people (i assume this means over 30) had strong effects from a total of 18 inches of the cactus made into a tea...

now imagine that you have a section 8 inches wide and 18 inches tall... if it was potent then a single inch of a section 8 inches wide should weigh over 1000 grams...

so i would expect that to be a dose for four people at 250 grams each, so 18 inches would equate to enough for 72 people... certainly enough for 'several dozen' people!

This clone was said to be a pachanoid clone but have stronger and somewhat longer spines than is typical for pachanoi.

so... if you happen across a long spine pachanoi growing 6-8 inches wide... keep it...

and please please please.... be open for trading cuttings

per Trav, please, no trading thru this site for cacti

I respect that, but one could always trade on exoticearthexchange following a discussion here. Keep the cacti alive and flowing through the communities that love and respect her.

couldn't agree more
