Here's ma rare Trichocereus seedling collection. I think I'm gonna like Puquiensis the best from the way the adult pics look. And since I have a huge pereskiopsis garden I'll probably plant one in a pot today to get it ready for grafting

Lookin good. Are they only getting window light or do you supplement with CFLs or anything?
-------------------- One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' was his response. 'I don't know', Alice answered. 'Then', said the cat, 'it doesn't matter.'

Pure sun light from my huge south facing window and a feeding of liquid organic ferts every time I water. Funny enough after I started using an organic, cold pressed seaweed fert all the over-tan red ones turned a deep green like the rest of em. I definitely swear by seaweed

Feeding heavily seedlings this small is calling for trouble. I hope I'm mistaken, but I suspect you'll soon have a thick algae or moss mat on your trays. Cut it down radically to none until the plants look big enough to absorb anything in the time it takes for the substrate to dry out. Just my 2 cents.

I would agree if I didn't water/fertilize and uncover them daily and give em some air exchange with my fan on. I've yet to see anything but small soil bugs in there. No algae, mold, fungus, or cobweb on any with the Miracle Soil. If that changes I'll update the post but for now they're doing exceptionally well for the amount of nutes, water, & sunlight they recieve.

And they're Trichocereus so I NEVER let the substrate get dryer than damp.
