A week-ish ago I potted 3 germinated apple seeds but I haven’t seen any root growth. Do they take a while or did I kill them from overwatering?? Every 6 days I give them 1/4 cup of water (I cut drainage holes)

I didn’t germinate my lemons blackberries or orange and they all took about a month to sprout anything, I’d just give it some time

Cover with plastic wrap, put in a warm place, be sure it doesnt get direct sunlight but in a moderately bright place. 45w or less grow light will help if you have too many dark places.

Grow light, 16 hours.
