Peyote lookin a little red?

 See how the ones on the left are sorta red looking? What up with that?
Planted April, 2015. They get 15-18 hours indirect light from a lamp at the moment been like that for 3 months. Before that they were under a 300w LED. Temps are 63-67. Water every 60 days or so. Everything short be relatively dormant I assume?
They seem to be growing just as fast as the green ones. They don't really seem unhealthy. Obviously growing super slow lol.

I'd use them for grafting.

So that's light burn from the LED probably then? I don't have anything except trichocerus to graft to is that good enough? The biggest peyote is 1-2cm. I have similar sized trichocerus.

Looks to be sunburned. I'm surprised LEDs even could have done that but yup.
San pedro is a perfect grafting stock for peyote.
I would try grafting with the red ones first as practice.

is there any reason to graft the ones that aren't red?

They aren't burnt that bad... They will recover. No need to do emergency grafts.

The red ones aren't desirable. So grafting was my idea on how to use them.
It wasn't emergency grafting it was just for fun and to use the stunted ones up. It's no different than growning them in the dirt but it happens 5 times faster.

I ended grafting a 2cm williamsii caespitosa seedling to the growing tip of a 2" tall bridgesii seedling. I have tons of caespitosa and tons of bridgesii so even though it'll be sad if the graft dies it won't set me back.
I'm reluctant to try grafting the normal williamsii cuz I think they're dormant and I only have less than 20 of them.

Yeah I get ya. The cool thing about grafts is you can try it a couple times with the same stock and same poyote until it's to small so you get a couple tries. Also if the peyote does completely die the stock will put off an offshoot and continue growing as normal.
Yeah if the peyote are dormant you will want to wait until they are active again before grafting them IMO(if you do that is)

I hear you can also graft the root stock of the peyote that has been topped?

Looks like just normal pigmentation variation to me, I wouldn't take it as a sign of anything wrong.

No lol peyote aren't ever red like that unless they are burned.
Notice how they are all clustered in one spot. Looks like the like was too bright in only that spot. Quote:

I wouldnt think so, but it's an interesting idea lol roots up in the air. It might work. Never heard of it though.
On second thought it should work just fine lol.

Cold temperatures and lack of water also causes this so, lol. 
Them being dormant and being this colour wouldn't worry me. Once they wake up and get regular drinks they'll green up again. Grafting a Green or red one wont matter much either imo.

I also randomly grafted the top 1" of a peruvianus to the bottom 1" of a bridgesii and vice versa, both were 2" seedlings to start.  
I have tons of cactus to play with and man Im bored of not doing horticultury things, thats my only problem with winter

I'm not new to this, I've had plenty of seedlings that looked like that and turned out fine.

Neither am I and when they are happy they don't ever turn red IME
I assumed it was the light due to the fact all of the red ones were in a cicle as if the light was just to concentrated for them there.
But It could be that they are like that because they are more spaced out than the others so the soil is loosing moisture faster there do to less root concentration keeping the moisture there.
I've had a few look like that myself and they did turn out fine too but it was from sunburn so I assumed that was the case here.I guess I'm wrong.

How about losing water while being grafted? my juuls x lumberjack seedling turned very red after the third day (it was an unsuccessful first attempt) and was deflated. This is good to know. thanks

It sounds like your graft failed from the start, or the after care wasn't sufficient enough.

Very very possible. I cut a new spice off both sides and tried again. I doubt I'll get anything from that one

Theres a good chance it will work still as long as the peyote wasn't to dry or tired.
You mean you took a little slice off the stock and a little slice off the peyote right? Lol just to clarify.
