Amnesia Haze Auto - Soil germinated

super dark and twisted growth... maybe try using non fox farm products, lol. guess it could be some shitty genetics? Try using something inert, but still ph-balanced. A seed doesn't need nutrients the first 7-10 days or more. if you use somethingn inert and it still sprouts fucked up looking, you can be more confident it is the genetics. in all seriousnes, 'light warrior' is not supposed to be a hot soil, ... Though i have never used it. keep watering simple.. it it not a top-down decisions. it is a reaction to something obervable -- the weight of the pot or how deep it dries up top. 1) always fully saturate. never half -ass how much water you give. you give what it takes to get the whole thing wet. 2) wait for appropriate dryback and repeat -- loss of weight or depth of dryness up top. While there is some choice in the exact point you re-irrigate, the basics are not a debate. You don't choose teh volume, nor the time between. You give what it needs to accomplish the task and you react to loss of moisture. I do like using a dome, initially, before it sprouts. Once it sprouts, definitely better to remove the dome. The one and only reason i do this is to avoid re-irrigating before it sprouts. if the medium is inert and no fertilizer invovled doesn't matter much, but if there's nutrients inthe medium and/or water, i don't want it seaping into cotys and burning them before it even hits the air. some moist medium 24 hours after initial irrigation is less of a cocnern when it germinates, but sopping wet right after an irrigation is a different level of moisture for a recently germinated, pre-sprout seedling. it's not a gauranteed problem, but it's easy enough to avoid the risk. fwiw, i have a ~1EC charge of nutes in my substrate... never had a problem with a toxicity or malformed sprouts. Some nutes will not cause this. inert is not necessary, but to rule out other possibilities, that is why i suggest it.
