Plants have taken sunshine without water almost 2 weeks and suffered some dehydration. I soak soil completely from all pots and took some pictures. Seems I need more rocks to surface to get every plant stand vertical. They tend to bend towards light.
15th day of May, 2014
All plants at window after watering at pic where they are at windowsill. Rest pics are taken closer. Pretty dehdrated and and seems they have got some sun.. These should plump up soon.
 
 
I've think to repot these during dormancy and try to find more space for plants.. I am in trouble with space because trichs grow too big and I have 100 plants of these.
Very interesting to grow someones hybrids and seen their parents pics posted to this thread. 
There are 3 different hybrids mostly pachanoi/bridgesii based plants.

Space issues are always a problem but somehow we seem to always find room for more plants. Seedlings are looking good.

I happened to spot odd growth.. Seems it's cresting.
Plant was hard to photograph perfectly but it's not similar to others.. 

I can't see the growth tip similar to other plants, Would be nice to have crested trich! Time will tell what happens with this. Maybe during dormant time I transplant this away from anothers if I see it continues this odd growth..
Pics doesn't show perfectly about deformation of seedling..
I need to continue follow this. yay!

I've sown seeds at 11th day of November, 2013.
I have grow them under lights, now they are growing at south facing windowsill. Next winter I give them first dormancy.

Some update
Plants have been at windwosill now, with very cautious watering.
Yesterday I water 'em and today took some pics.
These are approx 7months old or so.


They sure starts to tolerate summer sun. I don't use anymore heating mat for these because sun heat enough for trichs. Watering is very random and I let plants shrink and go soft before water again.
One had minor root rot but seems it have healed, I will see.. If it dies because yesterday watering, so be it.. Also the odd plant are more and more like a crested, I sure need to repot these before dormancy.
I want that odd seedling away before it form too much root bound with another plants.
So far so good. No need to use artificial light anymore. Also there are no official night time anymore.

Some update, I took pics from these same time I snap other pics. Seems I can soon confirm that one is really mutant, probably crested. I've think when I transplant these before they grow attached another too much from roots. My plan is to move these to 5-7 same size pots.. With 5 pots there would be ~20 plants per pot. But no rush yet.. 
I haven't watered these for a while and they're pretty dehydrated and soft but it's ok. I like to control the growth by let the shrink before new watering. I have not much of a space to use
12th day of June:


Some pics of suspected crested seedling, atleast it have more wide than height and no regular pattern of ribs like others. I tried to accurate pics but it's hard because seedling is small and surrounded of more columnar seedlings, what you guys think about that?


There are some extra picture of seedling pot from random trichs round europe.. These are just some survivors from very low germination rate seed sows....t. bridgesii, pachanoi, peruvianus, hybrids etc...
 I don't even know their age. Just got some bad germinating seeds and only few plants have risen and I grow them in one pot.. These are maybe 2-5week older than trichs in pictures I've updated there.

Looking potentially crested to me! I got mine sown and germinating finally, but too early to see any mutant characteristics.

Again new pics, now plants are full of water.. I give these some fertilzers two days ago.. Before that I'v keep plant in dry..
Basically my watering goes like this: When plants seems they are soft and can't stand on teir own because of dehydration, I soak the soil for good.. so I someway try to get hard grown trichs..
Anyway, pictures from these plants after they have drink some fertilizer water and plump up.. Now they are firm, erected and nice, last pictures I've posted here contains pics where are dehydrated trichs.
 Now happy trichs, enjoying sun!
Then 3 separate pots, one what looks like there is smaller plants, is the pot what I've drop to my apartment floor, picked plants slowly and planted back and some of them got buried very deep.
Picture 1 and 3 have pots what have never been disturbed after transplanted to these 10x10cm pots. Picture number 2 have pot what have fall to my house floor and I have picked seedlings and planted them again and some of them got buried pretty deep, that's reason why they seems they are smaller. Basically planted two times to same pot.

Yea, they really look like trichs! I've think to transplant these before dormancy, 5 pots would be cool so I can plant 20 plants per one pot.. In good luck I can get one pot per 10 plant
I hope these ain't so much grown together from roots.. If so, I need to plant clusters and try to separate them carefully.. Feels I can't wait what appearance of plants these will become after few years 
Sun is shining, I don't use anymore bottom heating, I stopped heating about month ago or so.

I watered these today(full soak) and took pics same time. Don't remember when last time I've watered these plants.
1st of July
Probably this is cresting. 


Gonna transplant these over winter when they hibernating, it have been work always.

17th day of July.
Plants are very dehydrated, I give 'em a full soak of water today.

Every plant at their spot in house.

I give photos from possible crested(at least not normal growth) seedling when these youngsters plump up.. It has been grown some.

You should try and graft the crested or at least pot it singly. If it is really crested, it will lag and eventually perish amidst the others.

I know..
I've just planned about to take +5 pots and add them separately to ~20 plant per pot.
That different plant I take away to on it's own small pot. I don't want to graft it.
My plan is to get these separated to 10-20 plants per pot or less at least before next season and ofc separate the funny one away from there and see how's it going alone. I can say for sure, never seen similar trich seedling as "normal" that's something different for sure. It's hard to photograph because it's so small and others are so big plants. 
But that may turn back to columnar or maybe in luck some kind of mutt growth.. I've looked it so close with magnifying class, it seems there is trich seedling "pup" from top and growth is cresting at the moment.. Also for sure I've think to move it away from another plants, it grows slower than another plants, so something is going on with that one.

Excellent grow log, thanks for the continued updates. If you lived nearer to me I'd offer to take a few off your hands so you'd have more space

I may think about it, pm me. I don't promise anything but we can talk about that in private.
It's a fact in few years, I don't have any room for most of these plants, trichs grow too big.
Best plants I'll collect to myself and so on!

Now I have done transplant, separated that mutt seedling away from others.. Wow how much roots they have!
26th day of July, 2014. Crested plant separated on it's own small pot.

I have been think this forward and used very cheap plastic pots so I break one to get plants easier away.

Roots, perlite, rocks and coco coir.

Shaking some plants to get them seprated. *tap tap shrub* *shikidikikidi snap*

I am sure this is cresting, now it's easier to see. At first photo crested plant are attached from roots to other plants, then I succeed to get it off.

All plants from pot and crested planted to 5cm round pot. Seedlings have separated to 3 different pots from one pot.. Two pots left!
 I have now 3 separate pots done from one pot, forgot to take picture but I have time for it.
Measuring tape near seedlings, one is almost 2cm fat but not biggest tho.

Mutant near measuring tape.

Next time I will write about how's this project have succeed and probably start separate two another pots to get these all separated before winter. I've done 3 pots from one so now I have 5 pots of these, 2 pots need to be separated so result is going to be ~8-10 seedling pots. 
Any toughs about? (I don't even dare to graft it, it grows fast enough without)
I give update when I water my transplanted seedlings, also I give some update how's that mutt doin'
I still think about that crest, I have got 100% success with grafting to pereskiopsis, would be nice to speed up this lil' cactus but I someway like mutants on their own roots if possible. I'll see.. Next year would be better time to follow that. I moved that mutt under fluoro light and warm spot to heal, others I moved back to windowsill. Got approx 10 plants per pot or so. Not so crowded anymore! Trichs sure isn't like lophs, I wish I have +100 small pots and big area to grow to get every plant on their own pot, but it's not reality for me... 
Afterall I choose only best looking plants to myself. My first crested seedling ever!!
