Is this what I think it is?
I’m leaving for the weekend and I checked my lophs before I left and one of them had this growing from the top. Am I gonna miss a flower maybe?

TBM questions
Got this unknown type of TBM off of cactus kingdom and it looks kinda boofed. I’m wondering if it’s safe to keep with my other cacti or if I need to do anything to it first? Is it really bad looking? New to TBMs.

More pest questions
Making another post to once again ask some questions about these stupid mites. They’ve infected pretty much my entire cactus collection indoors without me realizing somehow. I’m taking the worst ones out of their pots for a wash and spray in 50% isopropyl. Should I avoid spraying the roots? Should I leave them for weeks before repotting? I feel like such a noob and I’m so overwhelmed by these little shits. For the not so bad ones I’m applying a shitload of DE all over the plant and pot. Is this bad for the plant? How long do I leave it on before rotating it out? Does it lose its effectiveness? I hate bugs. 😩😩😩

Are these pests and are they bad?
New to growing peyote and have had them for about a year and I’ve just started to notice some of them are kind of looking a little reddish instead of their normal blue and green. I looked closer and there’s these tiny red things on them that I’m pretty sure aren’t supposed to be there. Should I quarantine the plants and put some DE on it? If so how much and should I water them first or after? Any help is appreciate I do not want to lose my favourite plants.

Lighting question
Looking to get some new bulbs for my indoor lights that I use over the winter when there isn’t enough sun. I currently have 13 watt 6400K fluorescent bulbs but I don’t like replacing them every year. Would 10 watt LED 4000K lights be a decent replacement for them that would last a bit longer?

I got this cutting from someone about two weeks ago, I was about to pot it when I noticed slight blackening and more squishiness on one side than usual. I’m new to growing San Pedro so I’m not sure if it’s rot or not but I did sprinkle cinnamon on the cutting after it was cut initially and it seemed to work and dry it out nicely except for that one spot. Pic 1 is the bottom where it was cut, pic 2 is the nice side with no blackening and pic 3 is the side where the blackening started to happen.
