For some reason grow diaries doesn't let you select multiple germination methods so I will explain it. I have 100% germination using this method. I take a half a cup of warm water, add about 4ml of hydrogen peroxide and let my seeds soak for 24 hours sealed and in a dark room that is room temperature. After 24 hours the seeds are usually sunk and sometimes showing a tap root. Next I will use the paper towel methods. Placing the seeds on a damp (not soaked) paper towel, folding the paper towel over on top of the seeds then placing them in a zip lock bag and into a dark warm area for 12-18 hours. After 12-18 hours you should have long tap roots ready to hit the dirt.
I am using Nectar For The Gods Nutrient line and Nectar For The Gods #4 Soil
For the first 4 days after the seeds are popped in the soil I will use humidity domes that are misted with water. I don't feel the need to buy actual humidity domes so I just cut water bottles in half and use the bottom half as the dome (works perfect). I will also use about a shot glass of water per plant on day 1 to soak the area where the seed is planted.
Day 5 I give the girls there first shot of nutes at half strength. A lot of growers strongly advise not to give nutes to autos for the first month but I have experimented around with about 35 different autoflower strains and have yet to see an issue in any of them besides the fact that my autos will normally double in size compared to autos that are fed for the first time after a month. I live by the saying "When in doubt, Flush it out." At Day 5 I also add my first shot of Photosynthesis Plus and SLF 100 to get the microbial life jumping.
I think you're going to like the results from Ethos. Looking good so far!! I'm running Ethos Early Lemon Berry from the Lemon multi pack. Wow greasy stinker!!
