My first seeds ever just arrived

[justataylor]

So my first seeds ever just arrived and I am so happy. I got 5 x Auto Northern Light and 1 x Auto Blueberry. The seeds are actually Nirvana, just the case is Bulldog, which is awesome! I already put 1 seed to germinate. The seeds look well, but It's pretty weird how small they are xD
The seeds that I showed on my palm and on flat surface are 4 Auto NL. 1 NL is germinating and I forgot to show the blueberry, but it looks kind of similar.

Yeah man congratulations, you'll have fun with Some real genetics. I was surprised as well to the size of the seeds but not to worry, it doesn't matter. They turn into green monsters, lol. Keep posting can't wait to see your progress. Happy growing!!

It's an exciting day for you. What a good feeling when when your first seed order arrives. Good luck the fun now begins.

Thank you guys. So the seed Im germinating finally sunk in the glass I put it in. I'll keep it in a glass of water for 18 hours then I'll move it to paper towels

Make sure and put that Sprout straight into the final pot if possible, Autos don't like transplant. Everybody does germination their own way, mine go straight from the glass of water to the pot . works well for me

The soil I'll be using is too nutritive for a new born. I'll put it in a red cup with coco for 2 weeks max and then final pot.

 

[Majorduke]

What kind of soil are you using? I would definitely change my soil before I go the solo cup route and have to do all kinds of transplanting. IMO straight to final pot is the only way to go with autos. Their vegetative cycle is so short any kind of stunt or disruption in the growth can really affect the final outcome.

Somebody recommended me Canna Terra Professional, that person said that it's so rich it will burn my plant if I plant it straight into it.

 

[Majorduke]

I haven't used canna terra before maybe someone else can help you there. I use happy frog and perlite 70/30 and have never had an issue. Heard the ocean forest is a bit hot for seedlings too. Here's a pic of one I just started. Rhino Ryder Auto at 12 days

you can use coco/ seedling mix for the middle of your pot, with the richer soil on the outside

Omg I'm giving life. After 24 hours the seed cracked open and you can see the taproot. Omfg sorry, but this is so exciting as this is my first time xD

Taproot keeps growing, I might plant it tomorrow morning, will post pictures.

^This is what I'd do, make a hole the size of a solo cup in the final pot's soil and fill it with something gentler, simulating the cup without transplant. By the time the roots reach the soil they should want it...

I checked it out this morning and the taproot started turning brown?? Btw i have to go grab some light soil, so it would have been planted already

Nice one man you going turn this thread into your grow journal?

I'm not sure. This seed I just planted is more of an experiment. In a week or two I'll have the equipment I need for a serious grow, until then, I put this one in a solo cup at the window. I don't care if it dies or anything else happens to it. I have 5 other seeds and I won't grow more than 1 at once.

I always sprout more than one. Just in case it turns out to be a male, call it a contingency plan.

I have premium seeds, feminized autoflowers, I shouldn't worry about that.
