Need help with prob of Auto Pls

[SupaHazee]

I start my seeds in Root Riot Cubes using a prob station. Once it has roots out the side of cube I then put them in the final pot. I've got ppl saying that this is a transplant and I'm saying NO it not a transplant. The Auto doesn't suffer at all. Can you Auto experts help me pls?

I don't know the best way to start a Auto from seed.?. Start in final pot or use a cube?
Thx in Advance!

Cube is fine and you don't have to wait to see roots, if she pops up then drop in medium. I always just soak my medium drop a seed and wait. 100% success rate, but my soil is free of bugs and room goes to 80f until first week of life.

Lol, you should see my attempt at a Grow....First in a very long time. Halfway through it and most are 2.5 inches tall, lol.
I talked to the breeder, nute co main grower and posted it on another forum. Only one person got close, but no one knows what caused it.
I repotted 2 days ago, most are looking up. Got pre-flowers showing at 30 days in a 60 day strain. It's 2.5 tall,lmao!

I too simply moisten my medium (biobizz light mix), place seed about 1/2 inch deep, cover, place container on heat mat and go smoke a bowl or two. 100% germ on everything I plant...
Sometimes I start in solo cups and transplant into final pots at 2-3 weeks, but mostly start seeds in their final pot.
I'm one of the small pot growers....easy to handle, easy to know when care is needed, can get a bunch in my tent....done it this way for almost 15 yrs....have upgraded everything but my germ method.

Heres the thing....I've got some peps droning on and on about transplanting Autos. I know that it's probably a better idea to limit repots when using Autos. But I've got photo peps trying to tell me that starting a seed in a cube is a transplant..hence stunt growth.
I'm saying a cube to pot is NOT considered a transplant and Doesn't stunt growth of Auto. If anything it Seeds it up, faster germ to pre-Veg equals more time for plant to grow.

What do you think?

How big is your pot?

I have recently changed to using a shot glass filled with water and a little Rhizotonic. Wait for a tap root, and a planting she will go. Nice and easy.

Seriously not one person out of the 14 who viewed thread doesn't have a option or anything to add, including a mod? LMAO, I guess if it doesn't have to do with Barneys or Mars then it's not worth the time.?.

I'm with you. I "transfer" my jiffy pellet to final pot, day after sprout. Anybody that considers that a transplant, I would consider to be the village idiot.
