Here are some close-ups:
Aztekium ritteri
Browningia microsperma
Astrophytum asterias
Lophophora williamsii
Lophophora williamsii v. La Popa Nuevo Leon
Lophophora williamsii v nuevo Yucatan
Carnegiea_gigantea
Echinopsis terscheckii
Echinopsis bridgesii
I'm having some doubts about the Lophophora's and the E. Bridgesii-s: A couple of them are turning red... They're not standing in the full sun. Today I've watered (and fed) them for the first time. All of them (accept the Aztekium-s) are slowly using to dryer air. (each week I'm making more holes in the plastic that lays on top of the boxes.
Am I forgetting something or lacking something? Or are they just doing right? The red ones aren't thin or dry. They actually look very strong!

None of them look seriously stressed to me. I try to keep them green at this stage but a little tinge of colour like this isn't a problem. The Lophophoras I don't think you want getting brown or red, they will do better if they stay green. The Echinopsis I think you can just let get on with it unless they go a really bright red.

Here's another update. I've made some more photos today...
Aztekium ritteri
Only 5 left, but they seem to grow strong.
Echinopsis bridgesii
Astrophytum asterias
Lophophora williamsii
I don't know why, but these "normal" Lophs seems to be the weakest...
Lophophora williamsii v La Popa Nuevo Leon
Lophophora williamsii v Nuevo Yucatan
Carnegiea gigantea
Check out the double-head in the front.
Echinopsis terschekii
Browningia microsperma
It was kind of hard for me to find the seeds of this cactus, so I'm very happy that they're doing well. If you look well, you can see that they're growing wider on top right now. In my experience this means that they're healthy and probably will survive.
Weird Mix
I still don't have any idea of what this is, but everything is coming out here and they're not even on the heater like the other ones... This wasn't in the plan, but I guess I'll just have to wait a bit and see if something pretty will come out of it.
