GrassIsGreenerstarted grow question a year ago
Hello, first time grow. Was wondering if germinating my auto directly in my soil is better then putting it in a solo cup?

Either works,
both show success it's a pick your poison scenario as Iainishere said there are some great YouTube videos on the topic. Hope this helps!

Autoflowers should always be germinated in the pot they're going to end their lives in - they don't like high stress and transplanting is often quite stressful. There is nothing to be gained by starting it in a solo cup... it's an unnecessary and potentially dangerous step...
Good luck....

check youtube for videos on best germination methods, I think most people prefer either the water or paper towel method so they can see whats happening and sure sure the seeds popped but if you can do it then its probably better for the seed to do it in soil. good luck

Did I need to size up to larger rockwool cubes?Geminated seeds in 1x1x1 rockwool cubes. End state is to be in 5 gallon buckets with 8" net pot and clay pebbles. I figured the roots are too small to reach all the way into water solution still so put small cubes into 4x4x4 rockwool. Did I need to use larger cubes?

Where are THEY coming from?Where are these Seedlings coming from…? In raising 38 plants, I used 45 seeds. Of that, 4 were unrecovered.
In the ensuing weeks, 13+ seedlings have sprouted from the Pots and here is one more happening today!
What gives? Where do they come from?

How much light for a stunned seedling?If my seedling is stunned, how much light in watts should I give to her? Does it make sense to give minimum light to help recover after over-feeding? (in my case 11w all spectrum bulb).
I mean to help her to focus on recovery, not on reserving energyPlant. Too short

How long to wait before giving up on germination?Still waiting for germination. A part of me worries that I buried the seeds a bit too deep (ended up probably closer to 3/4"-1" deep). However I know these things can take time so trying to be patient. What is the longest you would wait for a seed to sprout before giving up?Germination. Substrate

Inside of seed stuck on cotyledon leaves keeping them togetherHas anyone ever had the inside of the seed stay on and keep the two cotyledon leaves together? The outer hard shell has come off. I've been spraying it to try and soak it off but it's quite hard. Anyone ever successfully deal with this or will it just pop off on its own?

Cotyledon leaf falling off an autoflower while seed husk is falling offHas anyone ever had a cotyledon leaf fall off of an autoflower as the seed husk was coming off? One of mine did from my sweet mango auto. The 2 first "true" leaves are present and seem to be growing. Just wondering if it will be heavily stunted because of this. Converse away :)3 years ago
