Germination - Potted 3 Autoflower seeds in 20L pots using perlite and lightmix soil. I wet the soil through and allowed it to stand over night before dampening a little more in the morning. I've made a small 1cm hole in the centre, popped my seed in and brushed a little soil over. I decided it may be a good idea to cover the pots with cling film and stand in a warm room? Ive every few hours returned and gently dripped a little more water around the pot to keep damp. how does this sound guys? Should I be ok germinating like this? praying I get some little seedlings!

Hey Afroman1, number one cause of death is overwatering , they do not need much water at all germinating, just don't let it go completely dry, a quarter cup ought to be good for 2-4 days.

Ain't that the truth, yeah just keep em moist not soaking wet. Put you a light on them so they will be warm.

Morning Afroman1, yeah, hopefully they will be up soon, try not to disturb them, an just slightly moist, not wet. GoodLuck
2 out of 3 now nicely above the soil. Can see the 3rd, she's germinated but behind the other 2 and still hanging onto the seed shell. Not sure if she'll survive but giving her every chance! Still got them in the conservatory so they have plenty of sunlight/warmth during the day and I have an oil heater on in there during the night. Does that sound ok? Was planning to just leave them in there until they were stronger and maybe around 4/5" before moving them into the grow space and putting the LED light above them.. ? Thanks for all the help guys!

Has the one that's not up, got a chance, or has it had it.

Morning Afroman1, 2 out of 3 ain't to bad.
Yeah I got a 300watt led, and I try to keep it 22-26inches for the first week or so, before I lower it, and if your autos seem like they are growing slow for a few days , that's pretty normal, but it want take long for their roots to get going down an the seedlings up.
GoodLuck Afroman 1, I think your gonna do a good job.

Cheers dude, They are happy under the 300w LED right now! One last thing I need to get my head around is nutrients. Obviously they are on plain water for the first couple of weeks then I need to be getting some feed into them. I know autoflowers usually need half the recommended amount compared to regular strains. Can you recommend a brand or a general Nutrient schedule for DP Auto Mazar?

Hey Afroman 1, the nutrients companies have all got good stuff, just pick one,
I use Advanced Nutrients, but any of them will work, just as good.
But yes ,they can't use much nutrients, when they are young, so you will want to start at quarter strength, an work up. GoodLuck

Morning Afroman1, nice, most all of them are slow for a week or so sometimes, just don't start watering, thinking that's gonna help, because that hurts. They don't need much water. They will get growing good before to long. You got to have a little patience. When they start growing good, your gonna be busy, cause they can grow fast. GoodLuck

I got 4 different autos growing now, I like the RedPoison, but I like all autos, some you get big crops, like Northern Lights auto from Nirvana, it gets huge. And good smoke too.You need to put something in that empty pot, lol.
