Cactus seed soil battle! | Episode 9: 40 week update

UPDATE 11/24/2024: I am now working on repotting the Astros and found that I had swapped the labels for Uni-Gro and MG Seed Starter+Perlite in Tray #1. So the pots labeled as Uni-Gro are actually MG Seed Starter + Perlite. And the pots labeled as MG seed starter + Perlite are actually Uni-Gro. Keep this in mind as I go through the pots in the video.

The Astrophytum and Ariocarpus seedlings in tray 1 of this Cactus Seed Soil Battle series have just turned 40 weeks old. And the seedlings of tray 2 have just turned 30 weeks old. Join me as we through the seedlings pot by pot and see how things are going.

Details on the soils in tray #1 are described in Episode 1 here:    • Cactus seed soil battle! | Episode 1:...  

Details on the soils in tray #2 are described in Episode 3 here:    • Cactus seed soil battle! | Episode 3:...
