HowtoBubatz Germination Method:
The seeds were placed in a glass of water with a small amount of hydrogen peroxide and kept on a heating mat in darkness. After sprouting, they were planted directly into the final pots.
Environment:
Temperature: ~26 °C
Humidity: ~95% RH
Observations:
Both Apricot Auto seedlings broke through the soil during week 1, but experienced some early difficulties. The seed shells did not fall off naturally and had to be carefully removed by hand.
This caused a noticeable delay in early development compared to the other plant in the grow. Cotyledons opened slowly, and growth was temporarily stalled, but the seedlings remained alive and stable. 🌱
Watering / Feeding:
No nutrients were used during this week. Only very light watering was applied to keep the seedling zone slightly moist.
Notes:
Week 1 was mainly about getting through the germination phase and handling early seed shell issues. The focus was on maintaining high humidity and stable conditions to give the seedlings the best chance to recover and continue developing naturally 🙂
