I had a quick peek this morning, to see how the seedlings were doing and give them a light spraying with boiled rainwater.
I took a couple of photos and this was the best one. It is 13 days since they were sown, in a 3.5 inch square pot.
Some of them are now 2-3mm in diameter.

Re: Eriosyce napina sub. challensis
I'm not sure if you also gave some seed to the BCSS - anyway, I have a plant from their seed sown in 2018. It's exceedingly slow, and still only about 5mm / 1/4" acxross after nearly 2 years.
