Usually, I start an auto in a 16oz styrofoam cup to be sure it sprouts, then once I see it sprout I plant it into a prepared hole in the ground. These latest seeds, I've had some problems and haven't been able to put them out as scheduled. They are 2 weeks and 3 days old. Will they be really stunted, or will I have minimal stunting. I've checked the roots, not spiraling around the cup yet.

use the Jiffy plug method with the green house ..........a laundry cap inside the green house fill it with seltzer water (it is co2 as it hats up gas lets out plant uses) 3 to 5 days move the seedling to where u want it and start with 1/2 power rooting and growth (keeping in mind to limit the amount of water u give it ) 2 cups of water every 2/3 days days first 10 days then move it to 4 cups full power rooting/growth every 2 days

just rem to make a small hole in the green house lid some where on top (co2 is a heavy gas so it pools ) the oxygen will go out the top when the water releases it

never transplant autos........ seedling starts it goes into final container so roots can spread out (the rooting u use is hormones and some feed to make it really sprout and grow )

personally i soak the jiffy plug in 2 cups of water with less then 0.5 mls of rooting .....and if u can find a good spot to set the greenhouse where it is warm but not to warm and gets some not direct light ......just make sure u add water to the jiffy green house before cap it off so the plugs do not dry out (use the left over water from soaking the plug)

I'll give that a try next time. Sounds easier than my current method. Hopefully I can get an ounce from each of these still.
