Odds chopping this will produce pups on the top cut?

Hey all,

Dilemma here. I’ve been growing this tbm-a for a while. Got it when it was about 10-12” long, quite a bit longer now, maybe 20-22”.

It has no areoles above the line in photos 3 & 4. It only has like 5 areoles total. If I were to chop at the red line, plant or graft the top, could it root and/or pup after some active growth?

I have another tbm with crest traits that has thrown new areoles out of growth from otherwise smooth areas.

Curious to hear your thoughts!

Thanks

ID request

Hey all,

Can anyone tell me if I’m correct in assuming this is a tricot Mammillaria parkinsonii or karwinskiana? Bought it in at a big cactus nursery in Tucson but it had no label. Its flowers matched the description when it bloomed about four months ago.

It fruited and I want to be able to confidently label the seeds if possible. Thanks!

5x5x5 square planter pots in terracotta/brownish-orange

Hey there printers!

I have a request for some square planter pots. I don’t have the file, have never made a model for this purpose, but I have the exact dimensions and photos of the type of planter pot I’m trying to mimic(should be photo 4), with the same/similar drainage function. My main alteration is the color. I’m looking for a *terracotta/brownish-orange* color, which is nowhere to be found in my searches in the size I’m looking for. A couple examples can be found on the last couple of photos I included. Looking for at least 5-10 of these for my first order and would definitely need more if all works out, I have a lot of cactus. Could definitely see this design being a hit in the community as well if you’re entrepreneurial.

Budget: $50+

Edit: request to be printed and sent to CA, USA

My craft experience

Hi all,

I’ve been holding onto this video for over a year and a half. At the time, I was a cautious believer with a couple of odd sightings, but no irrefutable evidence. I was traveling a lot for work and there was a lot of talk about sightings by airplane passengers, so every time I flew I was glued to the windows hoping to catch something. The weirdest part about this video for me was that I “forgot” that I had it. Take that for what it’s worth.

About the video:

This is NOT the raw footage. I used Premier Rush(RIP) to piece together multiple clips into one shareable video. I did add zoom + slow-motion for a couple parts that I duplicated from the original. I have the all the raw clips saved on an external device. Taken on a flight from the East coast heading back to the west coast. The footage takes place somewhere over California.

I was getting clips of these orb-like lights, as they didn’t look like normal airplanes and were traveling closely, parallel to my plane’s wing. Suddenly, I noticed an odd, unlit craft traversing the clouds in the background. It came into frame at a certain pace, then seemed to stop, hover & fade out/back in. Finally a light blinks and then it continues on.

Believe it or not, but this was an event that cemented(for me) the reality of craft with unknown capabilities in our airspace. I’m prepared for the skeptics/debunkers to sound off, so if you’re reading this with pure intentions of curiosity: I promise you this is real footage. It looked even better in person, but I got what I got from my phone’s camera.

First outdoor grow

Does this still count as outdoor? 😂

1 gal fabric container, self-wicking autopot for watering, homemade trellis/shade cloth contraption.
