Best way to GERM Cacti is to get cactus soil mix from any store, water it so that it cant absorb any more water. Then place the seeds on top of the soil, you don't need to cover them with the soil mix. Then take plastic wrap and put it over the top of the pot, use an elastic band to hold it on. in a few weeks you will see tiny white/green balls, these are the seedlings.
After a week or two you can start acclimatizing them to a less humid atmosphere by poking a few small holes every day, untill the humidity is the same as the air. then you can remove the plastic completely. Hope this helps. If you have more questions feel free to PM me. I have grown a 'few' peyote cacti like this and it works very well.
