I recently started an auto. I germed for 3 days then planted in soil with cfls on. It popped the soil the day after, and another day after that it cracked and sprouted completely out of the seed cap.
I ordered from 3 autos from attitude and got 1 free fem seed non auto, Oh well I guess I'll just save it but like you, I wish I would have gotten an auto freebie instead.
I just went over your entire post, really nice grow. Really excited to see the final outcome of that white widow and the flowering of your black widow. Keep up the amazing work man!!
