Yeah, that's the problem I'm finding. They're highly regulated so everyone's basically on their own depending on their climate.

Trial and error friend. Grow some through and tweek your methods. Many will be born but few will survive.

When should I apply fertilizer? What are the signs I should look for, or what is the schedule I should be on? You guys say to use dilute ferts, but does that mean I should buy ferts and dilute in water, or to look for a more dilute fertilizer? Everyone seems to agree with low N and higher P and K so I'll do that.
The fert packet will give a recommended dilution - a given quantity in a litre or gallon of water. I make up a feed about half that strength and give it every other watering. I also give a little extra magnesium - an element necessary for the plant to make chlorophyll. About a quarter teaspoon of Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) in a watering can a couple of times in the season.

Kada does a lot of root pruning and stuff to keep his plants with fibrous roots rather than taproot, makes them more able to take in water and less likely to rot
All of these questions can be answered by reading some cactus literature, I recommend xenophilia as a start
With cactus ferts it's always better to under do often than over do it occasionally If I have to water my plants I fertilize then with 1/4 strength cactus food but I always try to let the rain get them, Rain water has better ferts than any we can buy

Would Pea gravel work for coarse grit? or Aquarium gravel?

I would imagine aquarium gravel would be excellent.
