I popped the seed in wet paper towel and kept that at around 20°C for 2 days and then tail down into the soil about 5mm deep. Just going into week 2 now, Top 10 cm is seedling soil, then 15 cm of DIY mix soil with perlite. That way I don't have to transplant this autoflower. I put the plant in a corner so I have plenty of room to LST later on.
@Dirtydraggel, Hey man not sure where you're from but I've just ordered a 5pk. Don't know if I'm allowed to advertise here neither as I've only been here a few days. I'm UK.
@stone, hey, nothing professional, I have several setups going with a mix of full spectrum cheap 300w panels from Amazon and simple E27 high output LED bulbs from a regular DIY store. Cool white for veg, warm white for you know. My “most expensive” aparatus is my “PAR” meter, if a 10$bulb gives me 2000-5000nm at 15cm distance, I can grow a decent 40g/plant with it.
