You might not have seen them as they are normally only 1mm long and they are suckers not chewers so you tend to see an area with some surface damage before you see the insect if you can see it at all. Try looking around the area with a magnifying glass

Are you still covering the lophs up for humidity? If not, how old were they when you started having them uncovered? How often do you water them?
Thanks, beautiful seedlings by the way.

No, they are not covered since they were two and a half months aproximately. I usually water them every 7-10 days.
By the way,I think problems started when I put the seedlings outside during some nights in summer (or it´s just casuality).

20 nov (9 months aprox):
Lophos:
 San Pedros:

I´m watering them once every two weeks due to lower temps and higher humidity of last days.
Edit: I think there are collembola in lopho substrate. I think they are not harmful and make better substrate by decomposing organic matter (I guess they eat organic matter like wood, mold and so on). What do you think about that?

Thanks, hehe.
Just a question. When I should repot them? I can see a root emerging from a hole from below the pot. I´ll upload some pics just to help you answering me:
  
So, as you can see, 1cm (aprox) williamsiis, a 4cm x 17cm pot. Should I repot to a bigger one?

You should probably repot them into a deeper pot if the roots are protruding from the drainage holes. It doesn't need to be as wide as the one you're using now either. Something like a 90mm x 90mm pot should do it.

Ok, thanks. I´ll do that in March-April.
I said I was not going to upload photos until Feb, but I think it deserves it:

here they are, the collembola I mentioned a few days ago. I know they look like larvae or something, I´ve do my best taking that photo, but they are more like: http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/2103/colembolosfolsomiacandi.jpg http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/3853/colembolos3.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springtail
I´m pretty sure they are collembola, cause they jump like the collembola do, but if you think they are other kind of bug just tell me about it. Btw, I think they are not bad for lophophoras but good for the sand mainly because I´ve had those bugs for months and lophos doesn´t seem to worry about it.
Have you ever heard about collembola? What do you think about it? What I should do?

There is some evidence that springtails consume and are injurious to some agricultural and herbaceous plants, but I know of no member of that family which is injurious to cacti. If anything, they consume the mycelium of pathogenic fungi and can be spore-carriers for beneficial mycorrhizal fungi.
If they present a problem to you, just let the soil dry out as they are VERY sensitive to dessication. If they do not die out with dessication, then they are probably not a member of the order Collembola.

Yep, probably they are collembola cause when I don't water them in weeks I found them dead at the bottom of the pot.
Almost 1 year:
 

I have new pots to repot the lophos but I need soil. Probably I´ll repot them next week.
Temps last days: min 17º, max 32,8º, right now 28,4º

Gad zuks! It seems your quarantine survivor is coming down with the fungus too now, no? Bad seeds, maybe, for all of them to turn out like that even six months after re-potting? I love your lophs though. Gonna graft them soon? (Or do you have to wait much longer? I don't know much about their hardiness...)

Yep, I didn´t too well with my San Pedros, they are all infected with that thing. They don´t get worse, they just don´t grow (or maybe due to the lack of light and hours of sunlight as lophos).
I´m not going to graft the lophos cause I´ve no cactus to make the graft. They are growing well until now without grafting.

Good luck with those babies. It´s good to see them growing from seeds.
Just an update with the new pot (1year and 1 month):
   
They´ve started growing again since winter due to some sunny days in March or the new pot (or both of them). I´ll update again in some months maybe instead of once a month since now.
