BudHunter420 This time I'm trying with BioBizz Light Mix. Since every peat-free soil has failed, I've put all my hope in the BioBizz Light Mix with peat. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
On July 28th, both went into the pots. Soil slightly moistened, dome on top, and waiting for them to show up.
On July 30th, Day 1 of the seedling phase: They broke through the soil. This time without reddish discoloration on the stem. I believe the BioBizz soil will help me have fewer headaches with these two than in my usual attempts.
Orange measures 2cm and Apple 3cm. Within the first hour, there’s noticeable growth on the leaves, I like that.
As of July 31st, both are about 4cm tall. Both are developing wonderfully, you can see daily progress, just as it should be. The apple strudel still has remnants of the seed coat on one cotyledon, I'll leave it on, it should fall off by itself.

BudHunter420 Started the first week of veg on 08/05. So far, both have developed really well. I haven't given them a drop of water yet since the pots still have a good weight from the last watering. I’ll water only when the pots are noticeably lighter or at the first signs on the plants.
08/06.
Oops, the Apple Strudel had a little lay down 😁. I added some soil.
The pot of the Orange is noticeably lighter than the pot of the Apple Strudel. So, I will water both with my pressure sprayer.
In total, I will give 2L at pH 6.52 with 6ml Root Juice, 2ml Acti Vera, 2ml Bio Heaven, 1ml Bio Grow, and 0.6ml Calmag.
Orange got about 1.2L and Apple Strudel got about 800ml.
08/09.
In the 11 days since they both broke through, they have developed well. The last watering was probably necessary; it’s great to finally see progress instead of setbacks.

BudHunter420 I'm also starting the second veg week on 08/12. Both are developing really well. I'm a bit concerned about the Orange Sherbet; why are its leaves relatively small compared to the Apple Strudel? You can share your thoughts in the comments. The pots have gotten quite light again, which means tonight after work, each plant will get 1.5L at pH 6.4-6.5. I'll mix the whole 3 liters with 3ml Bio Grow, 10ml Root Juice, 6ml Bio Heaven, 4ml Acti Vera, and 1.8ml Calmag. I think the two ladies will have some fun with that for now.
On 08/16, the two are now 18 days old, and I think they have a Calmag deficiency. I'll add more Calmag during the next watering, but I also believe that the VPD hasn't really been right, which might be causing the deficiency. (There's a YT video from Sanlight that explains it, for example.) I'm curious. The VPD value is more suitable now since I currently have 26.8° at 60%. It was significantly drier before. I hope the two get out of the deficiency. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
On 08/17, the two are 19 days old and ready for the gym. Started with LST, and before the LST, there was a pre-workout shake. Overall, 4L; both pots were feather-light before watering (2L per pot). It contained 8ml Bio Grow, 8ml Bio Heaven, 8ml Acti Vera, 7.2ml Calmag (I calculated how much I need with my tap water to have the optimum amount of Calmag), and finally, 16ml Root Juice. I hope to see the two explode in a few days 💥 🤯

BudHunter420 I hope that more happens in the growth soon. And I hope that I finally have the Calmag problem under control.
