A 12 week update. Thanksgiving seems like a loooong time ago! I pushed my camera to the max to get some of these photos, but even with a bit of blurriness most came out in a way that gives a good idea of spine formation, etc.
The seedlings on the south facing windowsill during the day:
The Astrophytums, as follows: coahuilense, capricorne crassispinum, crassispinoides, myriostigma tulense, strongylogonum, potosinum, quadricostatum, A. ornatum, myriostigma nudum, columnare:
Some sparse results, some not: Echinocereus waldeisii, Ancistrocactus tobuschii, Escobaria organensis, Opuntia basilaris brachyclada, Cochemia setispina, Mam. dioica, M. fraileana, Echinocereus russanthus "weedinii":
Echinofossulocactus multicostatus, E. zacatecasensis, self-collected Escobaria seed (finally starting to tighten up a little...really neds very high light), Glandulicactus wrightii:
Baja Mammillaria seed from 2006, one of which is throwing out tiny hooks, a group shot showing how I sowed the seed too densely, Echinocereus coccineus white flowered form, Echinomastus erectocentrus acunensis, Mam. meridiorosei SB3, Esco. albicolumnaria, Mam. meridiorosei RP78, Peniocereus greggii:
Mammillaria aff. boolii from Baja, SB1659, Escobaria dasyacantha, Epithelantha micromeris:
Fero wislizenii, Stenocereus gummosus, a different wislizenii:
Some will be ready to separate and give more space in a few weeks, especially that Opuntia. I don't like the look of the algae on the soil surface but it isn't harming the plants at all. I'll post some more pics of this batch at 6 months, God willing.

And the closeup of Astrophytum coahuilense is a winner! Very pleasing visually. 
Maybe I can practice taking close-up shots while I'm waiting for some action! Or perhaps I could just go to work - yikes! Almost Monday already . . .
