Problems, but we made it

I've had a bunch of problems getting off the ground. Stupid me thought I could just put auto flowers in some pots in my out door greenhouse. then I tried inside and still failed. The problem was I was using cups / domes to keep the humidity up. This of course caused a lot of problems with germination / seedlings. Once I stopped doing that and started growing correctly in my grow tent everything works well.

On the left is my auto and the right is basically bag seed (not fem, not auto, not labeled)

Making mistakes is how we learn. You'll be filling jars with nugs after a few stumbling starts & stops before you know it. Try growing your baby plants in SOLO cups till about 4-6 internodes high & then pot up to their final home. WAY easier to control watering & humidity in the SOLO cups, eh? And the plants will have a decent root/leaf system for when they do get transplanted. And don't go nuts with the nutrients right away. Give 'em a few weeks to a month before starting fertilising. And keep sniffing/rubbing/fondling seedlings to a minimum, just let the plants do their thing and everyone will be happier.
