Found a seed from a batch of autoflower I grew from about 8 months ago, wondering if it germinated will I have to watch out for sex or will it be auto?
I found a seed and am jus wondering if it will be good to grow or do they usually not? This is the first seed I've had and I've grown around 20 plants so I'm fairly new, all I've grown is autos. If it sprouts will I have to watch out for male or female?

Autoflower Germination
This is my first time growing autoflowers. While both seeds popped, one opened up “normal” the other has remained partially closed. I am starting to see hints if green. Is this normal? Do I just need to remain patient? It’s been less than a week since they popped

Hello ! I made germintae my seed in a moist paper. When I saw the root just coming out. I directly plant it into a soil mix with coco and perlite. It's been now 5 days and she still hasn't coming out of the soil. Did I do something wrong? I'm worried for my baby.
