Could be a couple of reasons as to why this happened. Were they relatively fresh seeds? Older seeds have a much lower rate of germination. Another possibility would be too much light, or they got too dried out, or a mixture of both.
How long has it been since you planted the seeds?

How long ago did you notice that those 2 seeds had cracked open? They could be just taking their time.
You seeing White is a good sign. They can start out this colour then green up over the next week or Two.

Seeds do degrade over time. I got some seeds from a Dutch vender that had a 20% germination rate and I got some seeds from a British vender that had a 40% germination rate.

If they turned brown then they're more than likely dead I'm afraid. Two out of Ten isn't great but at least you have something to work with.

I'd keep them in there, I've had seeds sprout in betweeen 1-2 months after I sowed them. I imagine they don't need any nutes at the moment, especially if you're planning on grafting them.
As far as what size peyotes need to be for grafts I'm not entirely sure so I'll let the peyote lovers answer that. Best of luck.

The dead ones I'd remove, this is to prevent any mould or fungi taking hold on them. Just a precautionary thing.
I wouldn't bother giving them nutes if you're going to graft. They don't really need any for the first 6 months in my opinion.
As for grafting this will depend on what grafting stock you have available. If you have pereskiopsis you could graft now or in a few weeks, depending on how confident you feel you are. If you only have larger stock you may have to wait until they're larger, like a year+ old.

Can the pereskiopsis be slightly larger, and still take?
