Question

Cactus mix sale on hardware store. Too young to tell? I think it's a Peruvian torch but not sure.

Hey Fluss, this is a Melocactus or a Ferocactus. Leaning towards a Melocactus but at that size it´s too early to tell. They way it pups rules out all Andean giants like Trichocereus terscheckii and the only Trichocereus that´s remotely similar is Trichocereus candicans...and that one just looks different too. This is a very common Trichocereus-Doppelgänger.

Yes, should definitely work. Some Ferocactus species are great stock and Melocactus might work too.
