Hallo everyone who's reading this. First of all, I'd like to tell about report. I've started it on 22.07.15 with some problems I've faced, which you'll face too reading my story. That's how I've found this resource. So without further ado here's my story.

22.07.15

I've soaked my first seed, hope everything goes fine. Used distilled 25C temp water. After 14 hours I've drowned seed, it doesn't come up.

23.07.15

I've gently took out my seed and put it in my sprout chamber. I've use two food containers, they worked very well supporting 99% moisture level.

26.07.15
Don't think I've ever hold my seedling agan for so much time, seed become "giant ROOT' 3 cm long with 90 angel, real stress to put it in soil fast, but thank god I've handled this challenge with honor.
I've used soil bought in shop, don't think the name of it tell you anything, in Russia lot's of brand & lot's of headache it's a lottery for quality, soil NPK (N 100-180; P 135-255; K 115-215; ) Mixed it with vermikulit 70\30

After planting it used some russ. roots fertiliser, "Rooter" with NPK less than 0,00001% don't remeber exact numbers.

Everything looks fine to me, I think to replant to bigger scale.

16.08.15 Bigger scale replanting (19 days old)
Lot's of actions been made, didn't expect it gonna take 1,5 hour. But what started, should be finished. I think should replant it 4-6 days ago. Plant did told me that, but I didn't understand that. Mistakes is the best teachers doing nothing won't teach you anything.
Beginning

Mixing 20L soil with 5 L vermiculite is hell action, I hope it worth it.

Fixing right size hole. Couple of moments for photo and

voila cute little bag with little girl.
Essential everything should be cleaned. Every soil peace & pot should be washed

So here we are for the moment how&why I've found this site and told you my story

 

[F.N.]

I would transplant to a 15 liter container. Next time start the seed in the container you will finish in transplanting can be a little hard on autos. It is looking good for 15 days old. I have grown think different and love it. It can get quite big. Welcome to AFN. Next time try and go with a vermiculite based soil with no nutrients so you can control the growth of the plant better IMO. I feed plain water until day 10 I then feed at 1/8 of the recommended nutrients strength. When planting your seedling next time go direct into finishing container I use a paper towel roll I cut it down to size about 10 cms I stick it in the middle of my container I then put my sprouted seedling into it it makes it works great for me. That is a great looking root pouch

Neat job, Eulsso! And nice pictures!
Generally autoflower growers are discouraged from transplanting but your plant seems to be handling it very well.

17.08.15 Topping manipulation (20 days old)
Didn't knew that autofem is not recommended to do so. I was literally beaten and advised to start a new seed. Like autofem topping is a lottery with low chances for win. I've started google and found you guys. SO hallo everyone. I hope with your attention and help I'll finish this grow getting lots of valuable experience.

Nice hard stress techniques! Will watch this tread and keep up with the growth to see where things head! Throw in some LST with the topping!
