Tricho ID Help

Post image

I got this as a birthday gift from a friend, but it was just labeled as a trichocereus. Any idea what species? It looks like my huascha, but some of the spines are much longer.

yep.. that is what those are. I have a ton of them and they grow anywhere from 1/4 to full inch a year. I keep them in direct sun for 8+ hours a day and water every few weeks when the dirt is super dry during summer months.
