Someone told me it is not a san pedro, and is a look-alike :(
can you correctly identify it for me please?
-
That is a San Pedro, A very nice looking one indeed.
It does not look like the PC clone to me.

What is a PC?

Oh my, welcome to the weird world of Trichocereus identification :P
Many American hardware stored sell the PC clone of Trichocereus pachanoi.
Here's more information than you probably want to know:

Oh no! :(
My boy matches the characteristics mentioned for PC.
Especially the indented/sunken areoles :(
Looks like I should get some legit san pedro seeds.
BTW, is there any PC in peruvian torch's world?
-
It does have the PC shape, but definetly not the PC color. :)
My first thought was it is maybe a PC something cross. Its a nice plant for sure.
I think the pachanoi PC is the only PC-type thing. Good bridgesiis are a great foundation for a new cacti garden and would be my suggestion for your next couple while you learn more. Cant go wrong with a nice bridge!

From whom can I get some legit real san pedro seeds?

Hi Uranium,
Please start doing research.
It's wonderful that you're interested in growing San Pedro and there's a lot of information (even right here on the forum) where pretty much all of your questions have been answered.
Which sub-forum do you suppose you'd check to find legit seeds?
Thanks,
Hcc

I asked here mainly because many of other users might have PCs just like me and don't know it.

Now seriously, what's wrong with PC?
BTW I'm from Asia, so that's unlikely my boy be a PC, right?
I also want to tell you my boy doesn't have any V-marks, is it a bad sign?
Are the PC and cacti with no V-marks less active than others?
-
Depends on what part of Asia, there are tons of PC in some parts.

Here's 9 high-def picture of my Iranian boy.
Please classify it for me, right now I'm very confused, and think it might not be san pedro at all, but a bridgesii or something like that.
Both cuttings are from a same plant. I did cut it in 2 sections two weeks ago.
The head is still not watered for rooting.
Some photos are shot using flash-light, others not.

that does not look like a PC in my opinion.

Then what does that look to you?
And also tell me about V-marks, is there anything special about a cacti having/lacking those beauty v-marks?

When I have time, I'll take photos of all my cacti. I just got a digital camera a few weeks ago.
The reason I say it didn't look PC is because of the length of the spines and the black tips of the spines.
Also, one of my pachanoi clones, "khronos", doesn't have V-marks, it has horizontal lines or nothing at all. And it's a 'proven' clone. Also, as modern said, the PC clone can have v-notches later on as it get's older and bigger.
But it's really hard to say as I have no idea where cacti come from in your part of the world.
Do you know anything about its history? Like where it came from? was it grown in your country?
