growing peruvian torch in winter

hi, i have manged to obtain quite a few peruvian torch seeds and my last attempt wasnt too succesful then i got raided by the police and it all got taken!
anyway s**t happens.
Anyway, i just read this website that says they see sprouts in about a week or two.
http://forums.mycotopia.net/botanic...ychedelics/36897-growing-san-pedro-seeds.html

i was wondering if it is possible to germinate and grow the seeds under two 26wcfls like on the website.

if so they are a bit unclear about the subste/soil that you use. do you need to steralise it or is it ok? sorry im from a mushroom background so steralisation always scares me lol.
any info would be great growing them quickly would be lovely and i dont want the seeds to go to waste.
thanks for your help, sorry about the long post!

Well as for growing them in winter, it should be fine.
Granted, I'm growing peyote, not peruvian torch, but the climates needed should be somewhat similar, I would think. Just get a heating pad and some lights; I'm not sure how much humidity peruvian torch need to sprout.

As for the soil, if you get it from the store in a bag it should be good to go, but you can sterilize it if you want to (some people prefer to). If you mix your own soil, you should definitely sterilize it.

 

Ask at the topia. There are experts on every subject that they have a forum for there, especially mushroom, mescaline and DMT production.

 

you know growing cacti is a slow process be patient--especially the peyote guy--that shits growth is measured in years---my friend had one half tennis ball sized and looked cool as fuck--i didnt know till later that was massive for peyote---peace your doing yourself and the world a favor growing this shit

 

yeah i know, dont worry its a long term plan and to be honest i just actually really like cacti despite whether they are psychedelic or not. they are fascinating.
By the way i did a search for 'the topia forum' and it was nothing to with psychedelics at all. could you link me the forum your talking about if its not too much trouble?
Thanks
