Germinated seeds in final pots

[Cannaficionado]

I took these pictures yesterday... all 4 seeds broke ground on 02/9

Here's a comparison, same goes for all 4 seedlings - very small growth...

I'll follow your advice and wait one more week...
But I've the feeling that they will stay very small, am I right ?

Maybe, not familiar enough with autos but Ive read through so many threads where people believe they stunted their plants. A lot of people said to wait 20 days max before scrapping but the choice is ultimately yours, if you keep them and they stay small, you might not get a lot of bud but ive seen stunted plants that were just a main stalk throw out what looks like fire. If you dont wanna keep em all your losing is a couple seeds right? If you're comfortable with that theres no reason not to go that route too but its definitely frustrating

Im not really against autos at all either but this is also why I like photos because as long as you keep vegging you can probably pull a plant through a stunt where as an auto cant, but at the same time small light leaks can ruin a grow pretty quick found that out the hard way.

Yeah frustrating... it's ok to lose some seeds, but I lost a fair amount of money too by heating my lung room...
Oh well, nothing too dramatic lol
I'll wait a few more days but I will start 4 more seeds in plugs, who knows, maybe this time I'll succeed ?

Being confident helps. Ive never germinated any other way before and I cant say that Ive done anything much different. I usually try to keep my temps in the high 70s and my humidity at 60%-70%. The only thing I can suggest is maybe saturating your pot with water the day before you sow the seed and let it do its runoff. By the next day the soil should be evenly moistened all the way through. Then I pop them right on top and push them down about finger nail deep amd cover and its worked for me pretty much every time. Oh and I give it like half a cup of water after covering so the immediate area is saturated again. With that said though since I picked this hobby back up thats 5 out of 5 successes. When I did this years ago I did have duds, and seeds that didnt grow but I knew absolutely nothing, and just tried it without doing any cultivation research.
