Botany Manor

Once you start Chapter 2 and gain entry to the manor proper, this can be achieved.

Head into the room with the tree growing indoors, and take a right to the bottom of the stairs, then a left through the doorway. Go into the next room. Notice the chemical powders on your left.

Mix three different powders into the flask - any three will work as long as it is NOT potassium x2 and magnesium because that's the correct combination.

Take the flask through to the next room with the harpsichord in it, and use it on the flash powder stand to the right of the camera, then close the powder tray. Now press the button on the table, and get your achievement!

While growing Fulguria you need to mix 2x potassium and 1x Magnesium.
simply mix anything other than those two chemicals and place it on flash pad to make a fail attempt for this achievement.

Chapter 2
At the beginning of the game, progress until you enter the main manor for the first time, this is just after the fountain outside and will begin chapter 2.
Inside the manor head to the right side to find the fulguria seeds at the bottom of the stairs and then move through the door into the next room, inside the room you will find a small table with chemicals and a flask, mix any 3 chemicals into the flask and take the flask further along into the next set of rooms and in the last room you will find photography equipment set up in the back corner.
Put the chemicals into the flash, close it and take a photo with the equipment and it should fail and give you this achievement.

If you need more help with this you can follow my video guide below:

In Chapter 2, you need to use the camera upstairs (like you did for growing the Fulguria) but this time intentionally add the wrong chemicals to the flash, if you add any 3 different random chemicals then load those in the flash and take a picture it will go BOOM and achievement will pop

This guide will walk you through all of the achievements and explain the solutions in under 2 hours, timestamps are below the video
