This is not northern lights auto, it is a new strain from them called skunk x northern lights fast version. I am germinating the way they insist which is cup then paper towel then soil.
Day 1 put 2 into cup with spring water at 5pm they advise to leave it for 14-18 hours so sometime between 7am - 11am I will start the paper towel method.
Day 2 transfered seeds to paper towel on ceramic plate as stated in the seed germination guidelines at 9am making it 16hrs in the cup of water.
Day 3 (24 hours after starting paper towel method) tap roots are coming out nicely, the instructions say to wait until it is 1/2" - 3/4" before the next step, I think this will be tomorrow.
Day 4 they are ready for soil, used a generic potting soil with no additional nutrients, and added perlite for drainage. Decided to solo cup then transplant when they have grown a bit.
