Phaleg Hi growing fellows!
I hope you can enjoy to follow my 2 diaries this year, I will try to be accurate and informational.
According to season and moon calendar, seeds were placed in a cotton circle pad on May 18 evening (growing moon).
After almost 4 days, they cracked and they were placed inside the soil on May 22, but I write this article on 23.
(Edit: only one seed raised from the ground as a seedling, the other initial one and the other 2 I added later, did not)
Soil is "Compo Sana terriccio universale", it contains already some perlite inside.
Pots are 12L (3,17 gallons),
I placed a pinch of micorrizzas DynoMyco in the hole for each seed.
A pierced plastic transparent glass is placed over the seed to create a mini greenhouse effect
Setting will be my balcony, exposed to South, about 1000m high in the central Italian mountains

This year Sticky Orange Auto started sightly slower, because only one seed came out of the ground yet.
So on Monday I planted directly in the soil in the empty pot the other 2 seeds left in the package, hoping that out of the 3 inside that pot, one will come out!
(Edit: in the end, they did not and only 1 SOA is growing)

This week has been rainy and overcast for some days, others were instead warm and sunny. One seedling grows slowly but steady, the other pot is less fortunate, first seed did not work, so I planted the last 2 from the package and it seems that one is trying is way out, I hope it works!
I can see its root, now it all depends if it will create a seedling!

Phaleg Warm, sunny and dry week here!
One is growing nice and normal, the other pot where I have put 3 seeds, did not show up anything yet.
Height is 7cm
I am considering if trying to move the weaker from another pot where I was growing another strain sprouted 2 seeds yet into this empty pot, or waiting a bit more and maybe change strain if no one of them grows

Other pot where I have put 3 seeds, did not show up anything yet, despite I saw a root couple days ago.
I am considering if trying to move the smaller seedling, from another pot where I was growing another strain that sprouted 2 seeds into the empty one or just wait with hope

use seedlings pots.. size-appropriate pots always makes things easier - not just watering. If a seedling doesn't pop you aren't tying up an entire pot of medium... it's an insignificant volume and doens't prevent you from planting a few extra if you think things have gone poorly. Always a good idea to plant a few extra beyond your needs to cover for mutations and any that fail to sprout. Easier to justify when the extra seeds are free or at least not exorbitantly priced.
I'd avoid putting more than one seed in a pot. One usually dominates the other and there's no real benefit to doing it.
if you can transplant it early enough that the roots aren't all entangled and you don't cause a bunch of damage to each root system, sure you can move it. Based on size of these, i doubt that's the case. Again, not something i'd recommend. I'd suggest just killing one when you see which is dominant.
Anything over 10-14 days and the seed is probably inviable or rotting. Before that there's still some hope.

Phaleg Another warm week in the mountains, we had just one day of intense rain. Sun is very intense.
The only plant of Sticky Orange Auto seems doing okay,
it gets water in morning and in evening.

Phaleg Howdy fellow growers! Greetings from Italian mountains!!!
This week has been mostly dry and warm, sun was intense and temperature on balcony were above +30° (86 F)
Please congratulate with this girl that more than doubled her height in the last week!!! Thanks also to SensiSeeds!
[from 13cm last week, to 30cm this week]
On June 23 plant got bending, following a guide that I found online. Basically when the plant has 5 nodes (each node is where the leaves start, not cotiledona), you take thumb and finger between the third and forth node, press a little and bend about 10-15° angle sideways. If the plant comes back the same is ok, if it stays slighly bend is also fine, if it stays completely bent 90° it was too much and for autoflowering is not okay IMHO.
Bending improves the lateral growth and reduce the top height, useful for stealthy growths.
