Calvinciostarted grow question 4y ago

We are using the mr canucks Meathod growing auto flower. Set the germination lights to 20/4. Should i use the coco soil first and then switch to a more nutrient medium?

For the best soil for autoflower plants,I recommend you to using 70-80% organic soil mixed with 15% perlite and 15% coco fiber, or substituting coco for vermiculite or biochar, always respecting their properties to avoid having oxygen or water in excess

Go ask mr canuck. Only he knows exactly what he does if he tells all. Can't get his results asking someone that is not him. But a less nutrition first is ideal or it will cook your seedlings.

I'm pretty sure he starts his seeds in his pre mixed soil/coco. I remember a video of him saying " your a great guy, yeah the plants sound high".

Wrinkly early leaves What is going wrong? I guess too much/ not enough water? Light burn? Is about 12,000 lux. The soil under that shitty top layer is a bit rich with compost, fert, etc. Maybe the new roots are getting burnt as they grow?

Why did my seedlings all die?My seedlings all died. This is the second time. What am I doing wrong? They germinate, I plant them in Promix HP soil, they pop up in a few days. I move them to the tent. Most of them never even lose their seed caps before they die, but a couple get real leaves first.

Sprouting delay. How long do I wait? Are lights on and fans running important while waiting for germinated seeds to sprout? I lightly water the medium.Germinated autos by paper towel method, & put them in soil 2 days ago. The still haven't sprouted out of the soil. How long should I wait? I'm trying to keep humidity between 60-70% and temperature 20-24C. The LEDS are on 18/6 and the fans are running for the pots. What do I do?
