Nice lophs, keep rising them this way!
:D
Just curious: why you would need 100 Lophophora of the same kind in your collection? Gonna sell them or you have too much space to fill with pots?
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

If it is too much for you, you can select the nicest ones and sell off or give away the others. I would keep the ones with the fattest root system.

I always like to sow in big portions. You never know if there are many seeds germination, and if they do germinate well, you have enough spares to see some damp off in the years following. And then select the nicest for yourself, if space is an issue. For most cacti it does not really matter if you sow 20 or 100 seeds in one pot for the first two years.

Yes, 100 may seem like a lot, but you see only 16 sprouted. If I had more, I could actually sell or trade for the seeds I want.
