I kept waiting for him to say "One eternity later".
😂
😂😂😂
I think we all were hahah
Yes, as eternity is forever.
Would be accurate cause the cactii take an eternity to grow 😂
Just got my first San Pedro and put it into full sun thinking it would grow faster, it started slightly yellowing at the top so i moved it to a shadier spot. Nice channel :) very helpful
I had 4’ San Pedro’s that I’d had for 3yrs. 2021 winter, I thought I brought all my plants in before the last freeze into Spring. It was the only thing that was forgotten and I’m still not over it.
My died too because I was leaving them one cold night outside. 😓😪
🙂
Wow! Lots of great information here....thanks for sharing!
This was really helpful.
Thank you for your time.
Greetings from South Africa.
Stay safe.
Hello.
Years ago in Peru; we used them by boiling them in water, after having peeled and cut into several small dice.
Cooking time at medium heat; More or less 3 hours.
Then it came like snot; and bitter to swallow; we used a little lemon to remove the bitterness, start with a tablespoon ... and enjoy a magic moment.
The best of my life.
Continue to send videos; very interesting subject.
Stay awesome.😎
How much of the liquid is a decent dose?
Ouu im snitchin
@@dea9800 go to hell DEA your meds are not better then mine and they kill 🙃
@@slipknot9023 30ml if I remember correctly… (this was 35 years ago)..with a twist of lime to camouflage the bitter taste/keep you comfortable and happy before sipping 😇

It's not necessarily how much liquid, but how much you rendered down into that liquid.
You cook down 88gr of dried material into a single measuring cup full, you did really good.
The last one is the one I needed to hear! Thank you. Etiolation makes sense!
Noticed something that was said about the water dishes. You mentioned about watering in winter. I don't water in the winter at all and I don't recommend it for anyone. From October to May they get zero water and extremely minimal light. Myself and thousands of other people have done this for years with complete success.
I do the same with my cacti and Euphorbia, but if you live I’ve a tropical climate I can see how that could confuse people.
Thank you, I'm exactly the same. I live in a climate zone that requires dormancy. I too start water cut back during the month of September, completely stopping all water by, at the latest, October 1st. They then don't get a drink until mid to late April, maybe early May, *depending on how warm our spring is coming back in.* I keep them in the back room where it stays much cooler than the rest of the house that's heated, and light is quite minimal, keeping them all perfectly content within their dormancy period. It's amazing how everyone else, with their own growing tips, tricks, and experiences, all say the same thing about their dormancy schedules.
Great channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Perfect!! Great info on what not to do for this novice. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom
Great help. Thank you!
Great video,
many thanks
This is a lot of help, thank you.
excellent content as always! thanks
Very informative. Thank you.
This is so helpful and to the point. Thank you! (I have a yard full of these)
Loved this video Jerry!
THANKS FOR SHARING your thoughts with us. Wer
Awesome video, thank you
Great info! Now I need to find a group for info on my cactus and its problem.
Very informative and helpful 👍
I am very excited to start this hobby. Thank you so much for the information.
Ahora tengo que conseguir un San Pedro
Ven a California o Mexico
Those black spots just appeared this morning in my san pedro and I didnt know what to do. Thx por sharing this info
Super helpful, thanks dude
Excellent video!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank You!!!
Great video! The sunset at the end is so gorgeous! 🌅🌞🌵
Thanks! In real life, it's really neat how the different colors of the sky throughout the day reflect themselves on the surface of the sea. :)
San Pedro Mastery Amazing sight to see everyday! 😊🏖
I’ve seen such amazing results from planting sideways “Barrel Tek” so many pups.
I just found your channel on the weekend. I love your videos!!! I've learned so much. I've been propagating for the past 3 years and now you've inspired me to grow some from seed!
I was wondering if you would ever consider doing a "how to repot a big/heavy mature cacti" video? It's something I need to do but don't know where to start. Much appreciated, keep up the great work!
Thanks! I will probably do a repotting video soon, I have some plants to repot.. though they're not really that big and heavy. Same process though, just more difficult...
@@sanpedromastery6262 Thanks for the reply :) I look forward to your next videos!!!
thanks foe the content! :)
Very useful video! I just got some San Pedro cuttings (about 24 cm long). I live in the Netherlands and I am planning to keep these cacti indoors. I am curious regarding mistake no 10. Considering winter is coming, I am wondering, should I place the unrooted cuttings by the window (it's a sunny window, but not much sun here in general) and kind of near the radiator or should I choose a dark spot and far from the radiator? Basically, I am not sure if the fact that the plants are still unrooted means I should not do the winter hibernation yet..?
Great video Jerry we love you!
Thanks for the continued support, Bill!! :)
@@sanpedromastery6262 Well your a great youtuber and the community appreciates your channel.
I planted a 35 year cutting torch upside on purpose because I wanted base level growth instead of top growth that would be too heavy... only time I would suggest it. Takes a lot longer to root though. I’m not new to this, growing for over a decade, harvest a 100 ft a year, grown from seed, grafted to pereskiopsis, made every mistake under the sun... these cacti are resilient. Cater to your climate.
What’s the best way for extraction? I’m only asking because you said you harvest a lot.
Thank you I did exactly what you said not to do with one and it ended up making it much worse and I ended up having to top them and root the tops
If anyone wants to know what boiled down condensed san pedro juice tastes like I suggest taking a chew of earwax out of your ear and dipping it in motor oil and putting it in your mouth. 100% San Pedro flavor. Getting it down is rough, throwing it up is rougher, but the next 12 hour are amazing!
The reason they are stored in freezers is to break down the cell structure and make mescaline extraction easier. Not for growing them.
it isn't enough to cutting in pieces and chew that for using mescaline?
@@Neonblue84 pretty gnarly way of doing it. Can get alot cleaner mescaline than that, would make you alot sicker just chewing too
Lautaro Acevedo it taste like shit no matter how you take it imo lol. You can eat lophophora straight but you’d need a lot bigger piece of San Pedro and I’d be impressed if you could eat 1’ of 6” diameter cactus
elderbonsai I found that adding tartaric acid or lemon juice while cooking it and then neutralizing the acid after with baking soda will result in the most best taste doesn’t taste good but it doesn’t taste like bitter alkaloids either it’s almost like if milk was made out of a plant
Oh I need to research this. Mine are close to harvest length. Width though, not sure
Just got my first san pedero
glad i watched this video
Here's a good vid on preparation.
I've heard southern spain has had crazy rains recently. Hope you, your loved ones, and your cacti are all safe and relatively dry!
Thanks, here it wasn't that bad though it rained hard a few times. I had to bring all the younger seedlings inside. All are fine :)
I always plant my freshly cut cuttings. Always works too
How dark should the room be for over winter storing? Would ambient room light be enough? Just using some led lightbulbs
I love my San Pedro's .
Thanks for the video it was very helpful but I have a question, I have a 11 inch San Pedro and I am growing it indoors. I have a heated room with lights and adjust day and night temperatures along with adjusting light. Will it be ok if I do this year round?
i like how he says ultimately
Where I used to live, San Pedro grows everywhere like weeds. It doesn't take any special care. Nobody I know ever bothered consuming it for it's mind altering effects, or for any reason! I heard too many scary stories about it, and we had SAFE things like LSD and Mushrooms. Still fun to have hallucinogenic giants in our yards! Even if just for inspiration and good vibes.
So many "dangerous" hallucinogenic plants grow in people's yards that no-one pays much attention to. We had belladonna, and other powerful plants that just grew, or someone had planted in the past. Tampa/Clearwater area, and beyond.
The only local growing thing I messed with was the mushrooms. The most dangerous thing about them was getting caught by farmers or their bulls. Bulls were less dangerous. They're not too smart, and they don't have guns.
Safe like lsd or muschrooms 😂. Well firstly lsd is unnatural and can cause alot of issues if taken too much, then there's the fact there's a similar drug that people sell as lsd but it isn't and can kill you just having 2 tabs worth.. then muschrooms, depending on type there are a bunch of lookalikes that are potentially poisonous as f**k, so unless your a very experienced muschroom picker those can be dangerous too
I wish I could share photos but I just flipped a cutting I assumed was upside down and there were "warts' of new growth, not roots, underneath. Now they are exposed to light and right side up. Thank you.
Merci pour tous ces conseils ! :)
Et merci à toi pour regarder ma chaine youtube! :)
merci monsieur
Bravo! Good video!
Holy cow mine was upside down, never would've thought that.
I bought tree San Pedro cuttings in a single pot, and I realized that they were deeply poted, and most roots are not at the bottom, but near the top of the soil. When repoting them in individual pots, I tried to plant them less deep, but they are still at least 4 inch in the soil, because the deepest part have nearly no roots. What should I do?
You can plant the cactus however deep you want. If the soil is dry.
What temperature is too cold, and (if possible) too hot? Where I live in the winter it can hit -6c (although temps as low as -17 have been reported) and can hit 45 in the summer. Also in the winter we can get 18 inches (46cm) of rain within a single day (Which obviously would waterlog it) so what's the upper limit for rain so I can know the best time to take it in before or during a storm? Is strong wind an issue?
Great video I’m a newbi
I have grafted upside down pieces of Trichocereus, and it works, te pups that come out just change growing direction to the opposite side, with no problems. I don't see why It wouldn't work to plant it upside down, I think it is a misconception to say "it will never grow".
I love this. I’ve only been growing San Pedro for 6 years, buuuut Ive learned all of this first hand trial and error.
I was gifted a san pedro cutting and I planted it upside down, last spring. I assumed the slanted cut was the top but I was wrong. So now I have an upside down planted cactus with a pup that has grown up through the soil.
What do I do to fix this?
Is it too late the the season to do something about this, seeing as how it's nearly autumn.
Hi there!
I just found your channel and I love it already. How are the seedlings that you started last year doing? Can you make an update video? Or do you already have one? Great job on all of your vids. Thanks, Ewan
Yes I did upload an update video on that tray, which I left abandoned for a long time. Nowadays, the plants have been repotted and I'm not even sure where they are... mixed among the others.
San Pedro Mastery ok, thanks!
What is the minimum recommended height to take a top. If your trying to make many cactus faster?
Number 9 was my first mistake ever..
My very first trichocereus exposed directly in the sunlight..
I thought (like many other people) that trichocereus was a desert plant..
I think number 9 mistake should be number 1 mistakes in your video 😂
What happened to it? Did it die?
i put my san pedro under a HPS lamp during the winter, is that OK?
It’s insanely hard to grow these cactus in the Midwest compared to where there native from
Does anyone know if it would be ok for me to leave my san pedros outside it Atlanta georgia or does it get to cold?
I live in a colder rainy climate so I'd be growing it indoors, what type of lighting should I have, would a basic grow LED light work?
Does this information apply to peruvianus cereus?
If I bring it in the house during the winter will a heat growing lamp help it or harm it ??
Someone gifted me two San Pedro's cuts, but they have the same spots as 3:14 , can anyone tell me what are those things?
I have two beautiful pieces of san pedro. I want to make tea from one and plant the other one. One has a “dome” shape on top. One does not. Should I plant the dome shape piece and consume the other one?
Where do I find the san padro message board. I need help with my spiral cactus
Amigo feliz verano , prueba con azufre mojable y no regarlo mucho por encima esas marcas parecen quemadas , las de arriba
Gracias por el consejo! El azufre tengo pero no el mojable. Tendré que probar!
Hows the Intro music called?
How big should my pups be before propagation?
For a few moments at first, I thought that I was listening to Maurice Chevalier.
What is too cold temperature for winter?
any reason you dont use BTI for fungus gnat?
Im thankful your channel! I am a facilitator, but I didnt have much exp growing. I was justt taken to a secret location where there are ancient wild cactus' as big as san pedro. I will post a video on my channel sson, and I will ad you to suggested. Maybe you could do the same.
I desperately need a plant saved. Which website or page can I ask for help by posting the photos I have?
Is there a way to encourage a full grown in ground San Pedro cactus to grow more limbs? Maybe even in specific spots?
yeap coconut water or even BAP
Such a great video. Thank you for doing this. I subscribed. I just got my first San Pedro and I live in Phoenix, AZ. It’s about 3 feet tall in a 5 gallon nursery pot. I keep in on my south facing concrete patio. Can San Pedro be okay outside in temperatures as low as 25 degrees Fahrenheit? Also I’m trying to figure out what the water standards are for them in the Sonoran desert, knowing the San Pedro is a more sub tropical cactus. Can you help?
I would think it should be fine as long as the temperature does not dip lower than that. This said, it is a good idea to place a polystyrene drinking cup on top of the tip when temperatures are freezing or below freezing point.
Hey bro San Pedro can freeze with minimal damage.
I am just starting out and my San Pedro has gained about 10 inches to it's length and starting growing two pups from the bottom I wish I could post pictures. I would like to know if I'm doing things right
As the proud father of about 100 pach babies (all but 13 of which come from your seeds), I appreciate this advice. Now I do have them in pots with holes in the bottom, and when watering them I have just put the entire pot in a box with water in it, so as to let it soak through from the bottom. Then, of course, I remove the pot from the water; I don't leave it in so that the soil would be constantly wet. Is that what you are warning against? My understanding is that I should make sure the soil is completely drenched when I do water the cacti, but then allow it to dry up completely before I water it again. Watering "from below" seemed to be the best way to make sure the soil was completely drenched, but of course I don't leave it soaked all the time. The mixture of soil and vermiculite dries up pretty quickly, even after being soaked.
You should mist them from the top, they don't like wet feet. Also, watering from the bottom will be really bad for the soil structure.
@@cactuslove6708 this isn't true watering from the bottom is perfectly fine and will absorb to all of the soil, just like watering from above will drain through, it has the exact same effect, actually misting plants can also lead to rot too if you do it at the wrong time and let the water settle on the plant, misting will also significantly raise the humidity, so if the air around is stagnant that wouldn't be good either
Hi Jerry, at what point should i start worrying that no seeds have germinated?
They tend to germinate after a week, sometimes 10 days. After 2 or 3 weeks, they should have really come up. If you have bought seeds that you know are viable, then it could be that you wet the soil too much or not enough, in which case don't give up on them yet, they could germinate at the next dry-wet cycle. Good luck!
SORRY I DO MISTAKE..I MEAN THANK YOU FOR BEING NICE BY SHARING .MY QUESTION CAN I AVAIL
I live an Canada and I put my cacti under growing lights during the winter and outside in the garden during the summer. They grow much better, faster, healthier etc during the winter in Canada then during the summer. One of the reasons is that the humidity is very very low inside the house during the winter. It is around 20% and they love that. During the summer outside there is high humidity, a lot of rain ( I have to protect them against the rain) and every summer I got black spots in some of them ( around 10% of them). I've never got black spots or any other problem during the winter inside. All problems were during summer outside. I'm writing this because everybody told me it is a good idea to put them in a cool dark place during the winter. I keep them 9 months a year inside and 3 months outside. 80% of the growth takes place inside. During the summer outside they grow like 3 inches and during the winter inside like 9 inches. If I were to put them in a cool dark place I would have had only 3 inches per year growth. Not a good idea at all. At least, not for me. If you want big healthy cacti, buy growing lights and keep them inside during winter.
They grow faster under lights but it's a good thing you take them out during the summer as it makes them tougher. Indoor-only plants look strong but are more prone to issues.
Do you think a san pedro would grow in humboldt?
Help ! Hi there, I got a San Pedro and it got grey moisture on the top. Actually I don't know if it's Botritys and I don't know how to save it. Is someone got an idea ? Do you think I have to cut the head. (the size of the cactus is 50 cm high this 25 cm of diameter)
The moisture is 10 cm of diameter on the top. Many thanks for answer. Laurent
the other prep videos i have seen say to put into the freezer - so who is right?
mine turned completely black watery it was in a well drained planter and also covered of too much sunlight, is the fact of being a tropical area making it difficult or impossible to grow?
hi, cool video, i have a cutting which gave 2 cuttings that are planted and growing fine, i was wondering if this cutting which is still alive but getting at thin and dryer could still be brought back, it has some roots so if i was to lay it down in soil could it be revived? i have to say it's allready old, cut off about 1.5year ago..
It should do fine, no matter how thin it gets. As long as it has some green in it, its still alive
PS. Yes lay it down. The roots are no good after they have been out of dirt. Laying it down gives it several new places to sprout pups, it might get two or three sprouts out of the sides.
Where can I ask about san pedro disease from a photo?
what will happened if i eaten it ?
Where is a good site to get a San Pedro cutting?
Why do San Pedro's fan out or crown on top?
How long can a Pedro lay dormant?
There is no way this guy isn't consuming some of his cacti
duh.
He supply’s the whole of France with their San Pedro and ayahuasca needs
Woke af
Looking for a forum to ask questions?
I have a question regarding making cutting from my cactus
Does it make a difference how much i leave of the body of the cactus ?
Help! I have a San Pedro rescue cactus that I've had for several years. It's developed black mush and oozing pus on a tip. I cut the tip and sterilized with sulfur, maybe a mistake, but now another arm is developing the same it appears! Ahhhhh! Help!
I have found some Cactus in Costa Rica that looks like San Pedro or Peruvian Torch.
I started pealing it for cooking and I tried eating it to taste it.
The green part does not taste bitter.
Why is this?
Could it be something similar that does not have Mescaline?
The cactus looks very old judging from the size of it.
It's about 8 inches diameter with 8 ribs.
Could be a lot of things.
How to take the cactus as a medicine?
