How does your cactus garden grow? (Cactus pic thread)

Migrated topic.
I had a surprise today, assuming these are what I think they are. I have something that likes to tear open my lophophora seed pods when they are outside, which I haven't observed yet but kind of assumed ants. So I often end up collecting seeds with tweezers once I see the pod torn open which translates to seeds going rogue:

I think I have some lophophora that sprouted from rogue seeds. Not 100% confident as I've yet to actually grown any of the seeds I've collected but seems likely.

Sure looks that way to me. Congratulations!
 
Taking suggestions for increasing the probabilities that some of these make it until they are old enough to move to another container.

I've not treated these specially by using a specific seed soil recipe or the use of a dome for supplemental humidity. I was kind of just leaning towards not modifying anything and hope for the best.

It does give me some motivation that I should start other seeds I've collected with those other supplemental factors added.

I have loved the photos shared on here of loph grafts so was thinking it may be a perfect time to do at least one. How much larger would you wait to initiate a graft?
 
They seem to be doing fine. I'd just let them be.

Do you have Pereskiopsis? If so the one on the left in the first pic is ready. You've got a ways to go before they're tricho graft ready.
