Yo forum, I have some questions about auto-flowering feminized, please give me an hand.

1-Can I germinate the seed directly outdoor in the soil? (as mother-nature does).

2-Must i wait March, or I can try something now (1-1-13)?

3-Can I plant the auto-flowering in a wood? It won't get much light but i read it is not important for this kind of plants.

1-put in a cup of water until it sinks. This means water has filled the cavity within the seed. Put in wet paper towel inside a plastic bag. Then put in a warm dark place. I use a dvd case and set on top of cable box.
2-depends where you live. Yes maybe so no.
3- where the hell did you hear this!!! Autoflower can be run on 24/0 light schedule. Usually does best on 18/6, 20/4, or 24/0. So more light is best!
I suggest that you do more reading and looking at pic,s.

1 yes, but its better to do it inside 2 you can try whenever u want inside, and should practice anyways, but wait until april or may outside, march in warmer areas. 3 dont plant anythiing in wood, light does matter to all plants, good luck

bud = buddy?

Well...seeds like a lot of moisture and warm temps. This should almost garauntee germination unless seed is bad. I have a perfect record thus far doing it this way.

so mate,

do you mean that seed from serious dealers always have a high germination rate (also if i put them directly in the soil) at appropriate temperatures?

Agree, but would add do lots more reading.

If you order from a place like the attitude they sell a lot of seeds so their turnover is greater. I would assume they are always getn new stuff and selling out quickly. So most seeds are probably going to be good young seeds. I have never germed seeds directly into soil. When you do that you have to make sure soil doesnt dry out. Something i learned way back in biology is that seeds do not require food from soil or chems. They begin there life using there current environment. Water is required. Do it the way i explained earlier and i can promiss you success. Once you get a white root about 1/2inch long put it in soil. About 1/2 under soil. Water and wait till you have a sprout to put under light. Good luck

I didnt read the whole thing but it sounds good. I put in a wet paper towel inside a plastic bag and keep warm because i like a longer root before putting in soil. I say you just pick a way and go for it.

I did a test following this this with a natural seed i got from an apple (it immediately sinked but i let it in the cup of water for 20h), then i moved it into the wet paper towel and...success

P.S: how much do you wet the paper towel?

  • 1-Can I germinate the seed directly outdoor in the soil? (as mother-nature does).
    I wouldn't. Seeds are expensive especially feminized seeds. If the soil is warm enough and moist enough you could plant them at your site I suppose. The thing about mother nature is it's survival of the fittest. For every seed that germinates there could be dozens or more seeds that didn't.
    2-Must i wait March, or I can try something now (1-1-13)?
    You could try. I don't really know anything about your climate.


      • 3. Can i plant the auto-flowering in a wood? It won't get much light but i read it is not important for this kind of plants.
        Sure you can. Low light levels are probably going to mean small buds. Of course I got small buds off my autos in summer with some direct sun so I can only imagine.

I soak it pretty good. No dry spots. But doesnt need to be dripping wet. I usually let my seeds stay in cup of water anywhere from 12-24 hrs. Depends on how fast they sink.
