Not sure what you mean by ´put cacti up´.

In habitat, the growth of Mexican desert cacti slows in winter - the temperature drops and winter is the dry season.  However they will be ripening and hardening last summer´s growth, and need to be given as much daylight as possible - photosynthesis will still be continuing. I should mention that etiolation is NEVER encountered with plants that are given sufficient daylight.
My guys go into cold frames in the winter, to achieve these conditions - our winter is the wet season.

Whatever a zone 9b is.

Desert cacti do not naturally go dormant in the winter - growth slows as the temperature drops - and they enter the dry season. 
I do my best to emulate habitat conditions, and I am happy with the results I get. 
I could never adapt desert cacti to my climate - far too wet here in winter - they would have galloping rot - it actually started to happen my first year in Spain when I was slow to shelter them. 
When I grew in Scotland my guys lived in a greenhouse - heated in winter - it is damned cold there, and even wetter in winter.

I'm thinking of building a greenhouse with a wood burning stove in it or something
Keep some plants outside for the winter

I have to move my cacti to an area which is suitable for them during the winter, but am probably just going to move them indoors under some lights this winter.

So have you researched the climate and soil of their habitat?  And attempted to give them what they grow best in??

I find that sort of growing regime works best for me - give them as close to their habitat conditions as you can - wherever they are from.

9b is a climate zone... I figured someone who has researched their natural habitat would at least understand what climate zones are and what zone they come from.. probably understand how to keep them dry in a cold wet winter...

I think I'm going to start a new thread about this rather than keep deraling this one
I talked to a dude in Ecuador posts a lot of pictures of t pachanoi in his country
They totally live in the rainforest, maybe I'll steal some of his pics but he says they grow in an extremely loamy sandy soil, and get tons and tons of rain o.O

Not here in Spain it isn´t. 
I presume then it is some kind of American thing.

It is an american concept, however it can be applied to your country as well. it's a 'hardiness zone' but i think it's a concept created by the USDA. Your country has climates ranging from 8a to 12b

Good grief - if I were to attempt to correct the abysmal English of all the people in here I would do nothing else.

But as they say - CORRECT it or you ACCEPT it - and I will never accept the language of Milton and Shakespeare being so poorly abused.

Grammar nazi. I know what you mean. I dont sit at a desk but on the couch on my phone. My big fat digits always push the wrong buttons. And i get it. You see there? I did not need a period after 'buttons'. And they are is they're. I was very good in school. Had all A's in grammar and language. I believe its the same thing. Now a days technology is ruining it all. I recently read somewhere that when sending a text its impolite to put a period at the end of a sentence. I mean who comes up with this shit? And  americans, and i hardly consider myself one but i guess i am, we are sometimes self entitled little shits. But what can you do. Society is just getting worse and i blame the internet.
