Night Owl strawberry popesicle,sweet!!!
So your first grow,exciting!!! I’d like to ask a few questions.
What is your plan after germination.
Grow medium, pot size, watering method, nutrients you plan to use , your light you will be using and light schedule you plan to use.
? Why germinate this way with autoflowers?
Usually it’s best for autoflowers to pop the bean right into the pot you plan on taking her to harvest in. This is because of fast growth and they don’t have much time to recuperate from being stressed like there photoperiod cousins. Be super careful when planting the sprouts, tap root pointing down making sure to leave plenty of room so you don’t damage it, then it only needs covered about a quarter inch and watered with ph balanced water (6.0-6.5) with a hand held spray bottle.
Your girls first few days are very important and will take your most attention.
Remember this number one mistake OVER WATERING. Not so much in the seedling stage as they do need to be kept moist and warm not WET.
I like to cut the bottom five or six inches from a two liter bottle and use it for a dome to help keep the seedlings from drying out.
Light and seedlings, too close and you risk the chance of burning them,too far away and you get a seedling that will stretch towards the light and the stem will be thin and fragile. Get a grow seedling light and and don’t worry about it.
No NUTE’s yet!!!
Happy gardening
