I started my first grow 5 days ago with 2 auto lemon and 3 auto berry ryder. I REALLY THINK I BURNT THEM OUT and this is why i think that, i dumped my 50L bag of canna organic coco in a big bin. Then i mixed in 6 pounds of worm casting. Then i mixed in 4 cups of dr earth 4-4-4 all purpose fertilizer (which i think now was too much and burnt them out) i then added roughly 20% perlite. Filled 3 gallon pots, popped my 5 seeds in about 1/4 inch deep and lightly covered ( for the in soil germ method) sprinkled tap water ph at 5.8 over the sites the seeds were placed. Set light schedule to 18/6. Humidity been around 70% and temp been between 20 Celsius and 24 Celsius. Been watering lightly every 24 hours up to this point just around seed site. Now day 5 (which is today) no sign of life. So i grabbed some twezzers and lightly dug around seed sites and out of the 5 auto seeds 4 didnt have any kind of tap root and 1 auto lemon had about a 1/4 inch tap root. I threw the 4 out and put the 1 back in... What am i doing wrong??? Please help!!! Also i want to start fresh with some mexican airline autos and bruce banner autos. Got my shipment of gaia green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 bloom that i wanna start using instead of doctor earth.... Please help so i dont mess up next round.... Also gonna do the paper towel germ method next time.
 
I’ve yet to see anyone grow successfully with organic and coco. Pick one or the other. If you want organic use soil.
 
I always do photos about to start a Auto shall I 1/4 my nutrients definitely?
It depends. I mean, that's a good start but genetics, medium, nutrients used, environment, age/size of the plant, etc, all matter.
1/4 suggested strength of my nutes would be 300 PPM during flower. I feed seedlings more than that. :bigjoint:
