Requesting info/advice on cacti 1

I need to clear out the closet a bit but I need a little advice. I’m not 100% on the proper Id and I don’t know how to price them. So if I could get some opinions going on the subjects I’d be stoked. Ik I didn’t give details on cultivation but I’d take any advice on how to improve, cuz my stock looks kinda like it could be suffering from etoilation. So yeah he a pic of what’s going on..  Sizes range between 12-20in with most having a diameter of a bottle cap or slightly larger.

I suspect bridgesii genes are involved with at least some of what is depicted but it is very difficult to tell when they are this narrow.
I have no idea about pricing either. I've yet to sell a cactus for more than it costs to pack and ship it.

Looks like all bridge/pach hybrids. They are all severely etiolated so not very desirable. Maybe $10 each

They're so etoliated I would say $10 a foot. However the rooted bases are much more valuable. A well-rooted 8 inch base should be ~25+ shipping even if they are NOID. The root ball is really the selling point, so show that off. Named clones of course can go for quite a bit more, depending.

so definitely bridgesii/pach hybrids. when selling id just call em "noid bridgesii" noid being no id
$10/foot would be solid for sure
can you give a bit of environment details? like what do you have going on light wise? what's the temp like. what soil are ya using. what ferts/how often are you feeding or watering?

light= 100w spiderfarm temps: around 21C soil: coco coir mostly w/ some additives like perlite, egg shells, bat guano maybe 12-2-2, seaweed powder, maybe cal mag? been awhile. feeding schedule: pretty inconsistent on measurements I try to stay on the lighter side but weekly. during the warmer months I give them a fertilizer around the 12-3-3 range. thanks for the advice about advertising the roots.

T. bridgesii is a very cool cactus. But it is normal for this species to have a smaller diameter than other trichos, like PC/'backberg' clones, peruvianus and macrogonus. Looking at your pics, your plants don't seem really etiolated. They just have that tendency.
This plant requires a predominantly mineral substrate (you can also use coco powder, the point is that it doesn't tolerates well decomposing organic matter, so you're going to have to give it some nutrients yourself, for its substrate should be inert. Perhaps THEN, your plants might thicken up a bit, but not too much. They like to live outside the best, but not under full sun the whole day, it may take a few hours of straight sun depending on your latitude.
This species seem to grow a bit slower than peruvianus, macrogonus, and the PC pachanoi.
