so going to germinate in diluted water however unsure on a few things.

I intend on planting it in its final pot to start it. however as far as watering a small plant in a big pot with no roots would increase risk of bad soil, so do I just water around the plant to start it off while not getting all the pot soil wet? do I water till run off?(doubtful) any tips on a first auto grow cfl are welcome. done grows before but this is my first ordered seeds

i use a spray bottle to water ......... like 20 squirts or so once a day shouldnt need more then a cup at a time until it has a couple seets of nodes ............. become familiar with how much the pot weighs with just soil in it or fill one up with just potting soil so you can have a reference ......... the weight of the pot will let you know when to water after the plant is established ......... also adding a bit extra perlite will help i use around 30% perlite in my mix so if i do over water it has a chance to dry out and not stay water logged

Water as you would a normal plant and use a 3 gallon pot size, 5 gallon to big

using a 3 gal germinated until seeds cracked and planted water middle real good but no run off just moistened around the edges. doing auto and auto kush. hoping they sprout out would hate to of bought seeds and not get a sprout. I am scitsophrinic so I freak about most things. how often should I water the seedlings. also should I expect a better germ rate out of ordered seeds or Mexican bag weed is there a higher chance? they deD cracked sooner then any I've had before

Yes street swag will grow but not as an auto unless it is one.
I have grown and is currently growing some just because I hate wasting seeds. They next to my autos and WW.

It's ALL ABOUT GENETICS , the best seeds grow the best herb. But for " some weed " grow some BagWeed . Having some smoke is better than having zero.

ALL WEED WELCOME :clap:

Here's my BAG , she's week 5 . Just doin her thing.

I start seed ( germinated ) in its final container from the start , there is no need to keep transplanting autos. It makes ZERO SENSE . Autos have a far more short life. It goes from zero to preflower in no time . I currently have AUTO ACID preflowering on day 20 , they just need to planted and grown.

Keep your seed / seedling in moist soil not wet. She will blow up very quickly. I didn't have to feed until week 3. It took what needed from the potting mix.

They have next to nothing in veg cycle. They will flower on its OWN time. Forget the Preflower boosters. You don't want to start screwing it up before it gets there anyway.
During its " official " blooming cycle , then you can play with boosters , flavors or whatever bloom enhancers. I have done a little 1/2 tsp with kelp extract during every watering only. But most of the time I use UVB / reptile bulbs to push resin production.

Feeding schedule is much different also.

ty for your info bro hoping my autos pop soon!!! last grow ended up being a male from bag seed was beautiful show in avatar. wanted to do autos cause I'm impatient XD. I never add to many nutes maybe a feeding 3x thru it's life in flowering I agree with not messing with it. I also heard mircale grow isn't a good medium why? I would assume because of the higher nutes? I've done multiple grows in it going 30-40 percent perlite

Like this ... Just "plant" seed into your final pot , cover with Saran clear wrap. It will cause a little humidity that is beneficial. After she pops out , your golden.
