The autos were germinated using the water in a shot glass method. I truly support this method and have had almost 100% success in regards to popping seeds. The both had a decent size tap root when I placed them into the soil. Within 24-36hrs of being under a 300W LED light in a 2x2x3 tent they both came through the soil. The 1/4er was the first but was quickly surpassed by the Lemon skunk. Both are in small cardboard planting cups and will now be moved into their final home of a 5 gallon fabric pot to live out their lives. Once they out grow the 2x2x3 tent I will be moving them into my 4x4x6 tent under a 400W HID to complete the grow.
