Just cracked ALL my auto beens laid on wet paper towel in 24 hours! Big tails.. I sprayed the towels with ph water, b2+ and a tiny amount of h2o2 to soften seeds... Like STEROIDS!
Some were already trying to branchout into the wet papertowels.

Out of 25 seeds, 3 were duds :(

Strains planted today in ProMix BX..
Buddha seeds:
Red Dwarf
White Dwarf
Syrup
Lemon haze auto.

Lemon haze had 3 duds.

Any pics experience shoot,, plan to start them on a T5ho 4 tube 4' and then move to a 1000 HPS Hortilux, feeding AN sensei bloom and Grotek Monsterbloom additive.

H2O2 to soften seeds is not recommended by anyone knowing. It is an oxidizer (duh) and works by denaturing the cell by, well, oxidizing it. No grand harm in tiny amounts but no benefit. Promise you.

Making the comment about peroxide for the benefit of newbies reading this, not telling you how to do anything.

Looks like this will be a fun omni-strain grow to watch! I have found the auto seeds I have germed to be a bit bigger than normal seeds, and perhaps with a thicker shell. I just soak them in water untill they sink and then go to the wet paper towel. So far I've had no germ failures with that method. Basically I agree with Hotrodharley, you might be doing them more harm than good by using additives at that early stage.

Should be an epic auto grow! Good luck and may the best auto win :)

5 seeds have broken the surface and are about 3/4" and starting.
All i know is ive never tried h202 but i do use b2+ all the time, maybe its the fact that their autos, but these suckers took off like ive never seen!

I think most autos are like that, super-vigorous. If your autos turn out anything like mine - look out for when the first side-branches first appear and watch them grow 1+ inches a day, its crazy.
