No worries pal. Eh, you can leave the lights off. But you want to make sure you're there for when they pop their head up. If they'll stretch searching for light. Having your light on won't hurt you at all. Nor will having it off.. I turn mine on after 24hrs after planting. My seeds do have tap roots. If planted directly into sub. You're gonna wait anywhere up to 3-5 days. They'll pop. About the stunted autos. Autoz are fickle. They did big pots or need to be in their final pot from the beginning. Personally I like to start out in a small pot and do a uppotting, 7-10 days i like to get them into their harvest pot before they leave seedling stage. But, ppl will say its best for autos to be in their final pot. At least early on. You just grab it by its husk from its seed mate. You only germinate to a point were there 1cm tap. Making sure it doesn't fully germ. If you have issues. Get cube starters/peat pellets/rock wool these are all great to germ in and easily placed in their new pot when you see them pop Good Growing buddy

If you like fast popping seeds, make sure you plant the pointy end up. Seed root pops from there, heads up out of the shell, and then does a u-turn and heads down. Head of plant with the seed attached heads towards the surface, pulling the shell off before it gets there.

Continuation of growdiaries.com/grow-questions/58730-no-hay-germinacion-tras-48-horas Thanks to everyone for the comments! @massivetids @Creepy_Steve @Newbie87 @gottagrowsometime @TheUk420Show Indeed, I put them directly in soil because I've had bad experiences in my past grows germinating autoflowering in 250 ml pots and then moving to the final pot. I feel like I've stunted root growth more than once with the change (I've had dwarf plants at 15 cm on two occasions...) @gottagrowsometime thank you very much for the comment about "scrapping at the soil to see what's going on." That's the first idea I had! But you stopped me just in time! 😀 This is my first grow here (although I planted autoflowering outdoors for 2 previous years) and I've had MANY problems with germination and in the first 2 weeks of the seedlings' lives. My grow is on a terrace in a city in eastern Spain with very high temperatures even in May, and I think the thermal stress causes the seedlings to die or NOT develop properly in the first two weeks. @Creepy_Steve thanks for the approximate germination times! The substrate has been prepared in layers (3 layers in total) and after wetting the last layer, I made a hole in the center about 1-2 cm deep, inserted the seed (NOT previously germinated), covered it with a bit of substrate WITHOUT packing it down, and misted it with a spray bottle. Do you think this is a good method for direct germination in pots? Maybe I should have tried germinating between paper towels and then placing it in the final pot, but handling the seeds with the radicle is very stressful for me for fear of damaging the radicle... Should I then turn off the lights until the cotyledons start to show? Thanks again for the comments! 😛
