Gymnocactus beguinii
Mammillaria aureilanata
Mammillaria coahuilensis

They look really healthy

I would expect the Mammillaria aureilanata to be less tall. Mine are fluffy and 'rooty' like yours too, but are much more globular, definately more wide than tall. Have these been in the shade?

I think my light source its not enough for some species. Some plants grow as they supposed to be but some of them grow not in good way like these aureilanata seedlings and also i should have give less water to aureilanata seedlings.
I was not at home for a few days and the lights were off in the grow tent, plus i watered the seedlings before l left the home, this is also another mistake. That caused them to stretch.
I took the aureilanata seedling out of the tent and put them on the windowsill.

These are Aztekium ritteri and Gymnocactus saueri, they grow fine under the same conditions.
