San Pedro diagnosis - Yellowing and dark blotching

Hi Everyone,
I received some rooted San Pedro cuttings 6 days ago. Most of them seem very healthy, but one appeared less healthy. It is much yellower, with dark blotching on the surface. Please suggest what might be the cause and how I could help it recover. Below you will see one photo of the aforementioned and one of another healthier looking San Pedro. Thank you very much!

Ease them into their new home. Try a few hours of intense light and gradually increase. Easy on the water. I wouldn't even water til they are settled. Remember these are slow plants.

That's the sun for you. Rugged looking it is.

Thanks for the input. It rained heavily 2 nights ago so they got a thorough watering but I'll let the soil dry out now. It's middle of summer where I am so I'll be extra careful with sun exposure. I kind of realised though that the thing I actually need to cultivate in order to work with cacti is patience! They'll probably be fine if I just leave them alone. The past week I couldn't help but check them out 4-5 times a day for signs of growth which is completely ridiculous I know! It's a difficult habit to get under control!
