Pretty typical of my experience with auto's so far. They put so much energy into sending that one tap root down they don't send out all the little roots that a photo would so they don't hold the medium together as well.
ahhh okay... I think I will become a big fan of droping that seed in its finished pot from now on! Lmao. Thanks for your help btw! Much appreciated
Maybe an extra couple days in the solo cups might have been ok. But it's way to early to say they are behind or "slow".
That's what I'm talking about Sawzall. I'm the worst at transplanting seedlings. I PLACE the jiffy pellet in, day after sprout. I'm the village idiot and can't screw it up.
Totally agree, from germination to final pot works best.
From germination to final pot will get you the best results, if you do decide to transplant, be fragile, water with a root stimulator after ttransplanting and have it in your final pot by about day ten, before 2 weeks. From there just let it grow, I give mine 19 hours light / 5 hours dark (18 hours light is considered the mínimum if you want a decent yield, outdoors would require a mínimum of 6 hours direct sun light and mínimum of 12 hour days) I reccomend HPS mixed sectrum bulbs for the full life of Autos - as from 400w. Fertwise it would really depend on the soil you decide to use.... Heavy Mix soils with nutrients for both veg and flowering + adding some natural bud sweetening sugars after about week 5 until the last 10 days before harvest. Then for the last 10 days I water with distilled water.
Hey there, thanks for sharing your knowledge I appreciate it! I’m growing under a 100w MH atm. Should I switch to the hps sooner rather than later? I was going to wait another week at least but maybe I should have even started with hps. As you can see in the pics they are all small but that will change pretty quick I imagine lol.
If she is reacting to the light then she is more focused on her root system than photosynthesising.
What I don’t quite grasp yet I guess is this taproot on these autoflower. When you say transplanting after only 10 days from germ. Don’t you find the medium doesn’t stay together nicely because there’s not enough of a root structure
