My ferts are 8-34-32 + trace elements.
Light cycle is 15/9.
Temp in the box peaks @35C (well, last time I checked!) and drops to 15-20C when the light is off.
Between feeds, they recieved plain, warm water, a good soaking each time so no build up.
Very few pups have had to be removed, 4 out of 8 have tried to pup, and I think they have kept quite nice shape for grafts being pushed.
Maybe I over did the feeding, and certainly wouldn't feed a mature cactus in this fashion, but nothing averse has happened yet.. just having fun with them!
