After one full day soaking in distilled water, then sitting in the paper towels for another full day, 3 out of the 4 of the seeds had started sprouting. I then transplanted the 3 germinated seeds into their final 3 gallon fabric pots. I put the seeds into a seedling soil with mixed perlite and mykos, which is then surrounded by FoxFarm Ocean forest w/ perlite and mykos. Overall it felt successful, but I do question if I buried them too deeply, I didn't use a ruler and used my finger, making a hole about an inch or so long, up to the first joint on my index finger, then covered loosely. I have a major concern for one however, after finding what appeared to be a broken taproot among the soil after a light watering. Also found a weird orange, seemingly hollow ball next to it, which when I squeezed it exploded. My instinct was that that was the Taproot and shell, but it also could just be other bits in the soil, as it did have other things like small sticks in it. Will just have to monitor as I don't want to dig around to find out. The following day however the final seed starting sprouting a small root, about the length of the seed itself. Will plant in soil in probably the next 12 hours or so.

I suspect this seedling is either overwatered or underwatered, but unsure. Idk how often it was watered, but I have 3 others in same soil/tent doing fine. Soil doesn't look or feel wet, just slightly damp. The leaves have been curled since it sprouted. Its a 5 days old autoflower

Plant has only 1 leaf like this, and the opposite fan leaf appears normal. Another plant has a similar leaf like this but with less spots, and one yellow or bleach spot. But only 1 leaf on each plant. My latest diary entry has more info, any help appreciated.

You should NEVER try to flush soil it only causes over saturating of the medium and more problems than you started with anyone who offers that advice has clearly never grown in soil and is parroting something he/she has seen somewhere online

Flush dont work in soil, this technique is for coco or hydro. Fact. In soil grows you dont need silica, or at least not so early. Google from what soil is constructed ;))) in soil grows, after final flower strech is over ( week 3-4 of flower ) you can use it for few waterings, to strengthen branches. From look they need good watering regime and ph, think those two things you totally dont understand. I wont waist my time, if you need, dm me, ill try to explain how to maintain those two areas, which are MOST important in soil grows. I did recently 3 different strain grows and no nutes at all, in soil, all 3 ended up 100g plants even in limited conditions and no food run.
