I started with the paper towel method. However, it took a very long time for the seeds to open up.

I assume this took a long time because the temperature in my room fluctuated a lot. When the seeds were slightly open and the first root formation was visible, I decided to plant them in soil already. I placed the pots under the lamp, as a consistent temperature can be maintained there. To keep the humidity high, I put a jar over them.
Humidity: 80% to 90%
Temperature: 22°C to 28°C

Today I noticed the first plant forming its first stem. I was very happy about that and hope the others will form their stems soon too.

The last few days I was worried that the other 2 seeds wouldn't germinate. I was right, they didn't germinate. But I'm not surprised since the growing conditions during germination weren't optimal. Next time, I would let the autoflowering seeds germinate directly in the soil.
However, I am very satisfied with our little fighter, and I'm optimistic that he will continue to develop well over the week. I also repotted the plant today because I think the soil was too moist. Now I have about 40% of the seedling soil from Countryside and 60% of the flowering soil from Countryside.

I feel really good about the plant. Your feedback made me very happy. Now I'm watering the plant a little less for now and letting it chill in the hope that it will also help me chill in the future.

Hey, our little warrior has apparently become a believer. The little leaves are slightly pointing upwards. Apparently, this is called "praying" and shows that it's doing well. The little fighter is doing great and should continue to worship our sun god. 😜
Hey, does anyone have some small, budget-friendly tips for the plant?
I'm feeling a bit down since the other 2 seeds failed. I definitely want to give our little fighter the best life possible. ✊
Hi Alex 😀
Don't give up.... mistakes only make you better ^^
So far it looks pretty good......
I would let them grow for now and transplant into a larger pot after 2-3 weeks.
It should be at least 7.5 liters.....
Good luck!

The plant is doing really well. Recently, I noticed some burn spots on the lower leaves. I was a bit worried about the little fighter. But it turned out that this was probably from the spray bottle and that water droplets had collected on the leaves, causing the small burn damage.
Now I'm starting to water the plant normally; it gets about 0.03 liters per day.
