Starting seedlings, which is the best route? Please help!
HighandAlonestarted grow question 5 years ago
Should I start my seedling right into the medium (Roots organic original potting soil which I have heard can be a little hot for seedlings) or should I start with Rock-wool first and then transfer the auto into the medium. Thank you!

The rock-wool is best as its not really a transplant as much as a potting, nothing in the roots is disturbed.
Easy stuff to work with, do soak in PHed water first as rock-wool can have a screwy PH right off the bat.

DeformationHello friends, how are you?
I have a big question about one of my plants. Right after the appearance of the first two pairs of leaves, I noticed it's not doing very well. It's now 15 days old and seems to be starting to flower.

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…Plant. Too short

Semilla auto DOBLE!!!Una semilla auto me está saliendo doble. Primero vi como salieron 2 raices paralelas, y ahora crecen 2 tallos independientes. Ya he separado un poco los tallos que estaban un poco enredados. ¿Debería intentar separar ambos tallos por completo e intentar transplantar uno o no?Setup. Seedling

Mould on seedlingThis seed was late to spawn. Now it finally opened, even if it's quite short on the soil. I can see a fluff of mould just below the cotyledons. What should I do? Can I save it or do I risk contaminating the rest of the plants in the growbox?Other. Mold

Seedling leaves turning white, no true leavesWhy have my seedling leaves turned white? One of them sprouted 3 days ago and it’s first true leaves haven’t sprouted yet? I am growing in coco and perlite and watering with water and rhizotonic? Is it because I haven’t let the soil dry out and I’m watering it everyday?Setup. Seedling
