Germinating
Sweetspot88started grow question 5y ago
What’s your germination method for autos? I always used water then towel, I’ve only ever done photoperiod plants though. So I’ve gone straight into Medium this time. Is this as successful or is it best in the towels? Thanks growers

I personally have germinated seeds by soaking the paper towel and waiting for tap root for years.
All methods that have been answered are great find yours and perfect it.
I’ve also transplanted autos and yes while it is true that you don’t want the plant to undergo stress, I have got some of my better yields on an auto moving them to a bigger container. I started some toof decays from Mephisto in red solo cups, as soon as the leafs got the same diameter of the cup I transplanted them. I wish I were on this site a lot sooner.. Happy growing!

I've only just started growing, so I'm no expert, but what I've read so far suggests that you should germinate autoflowers in the substrate you intend to grow them in, the reason being that autoflowers have a relatively short lifespan and thus litle time to recover from stress, which transplanting generally involves. I planted my Fast Eddy directly in the soil and it worked out fine.

Soak in water until seed pops. Then into medium. No paper towel needed.

ijustdontgiveafanswered grow question 5y ago
i use the paper towel method for all my seeds.. photoperiod, autos, chili peppers, tomatoes, whatever..
it has always worked out very well so far..
this way i also know for sure that they have germinated..
what's the use of preparing an extra amount of medium, if some may not germinate?

Same as gmslave, I used to do a paper towel method but the roots grow into the fibers of the towel and if you are not really gentle you might shock them and at this stage they are really weak.

I always plant right into the medium as well. Hate shocking a new born. Cheers

Male, Female, It or they??The wedding cake doesn't show the standard signs of being a female. There appears to be pistils in the new growth but I don't see it at the nodes. All of the nodes look like elongated sacs. From what I've read people say it's most likely female but what say you all?

Worth keeping goingMy plants in reveg at 5 weeks and I'm hoping it's fixed but is it worth trying to flower her out now or instead scrap her and fill with clones. She's drinking 2.5 gallons a day, so is bud going to form in a reasonable time and not grow to big for the space.
