I extracted embryos from seeds of 3 different rosehips 4 days ago, and these embryos from one rosehip started to germinate very fast. I planted 2 of them in container today. this time I soaked potting soil with cyantraniliprole to prevent fungus gnat fly. I hope they survive.
I put them under horticultural lamp 10 hours a day and the Lux was about to 10k.
and I also washed embryos with a few drops of fresh tap water and drained it once every two days.

Follow up update:
I extracted 10 embryos totall last time.
1/10 of extracted embryos turned green, but it seemed damaged when i extracted it. after the testa swelled the embryo got disassembled itself.
↑5/10 of extracted embryos started to develop root without removing testa in 7 days.
I removed testa when I plant them on pot.
here are photo of 5 seedlings now up there.
↑4/10 of embryos remained very still even after weeks. so I scratched testa of two embryos with sharp pincet, and those scratched embryos started to turn green and swell after a week.
what you see up there is photo of those 2 embryos I scratched(one already planted and one swelling).
↑2 embryos I didn’t scratch remain still yet.
