Hello guys!
New to this forum and this is my first post. So I have been growing some buds outdoors for 3 years now, but didn't really put alot of work and knowledge into it. Mostly just for fun and to learn. This year I have tried more seriously with some autoflowering seeds. I have tried 3 different methods of germinating (Rockwool, soil, paper towels), 4 different seeds (Super Mazar, Northern Lights, White russian, Lemon Skunk - all autos), 2 soils (lightmix and ordinary soil for tomatoes and garden stuff) to see what works the best.
I didn't really had good circumstances to start my flowers at home. Had to be stealth, so noone would find them etc.. Under the roof window --> limited sun (about 5-9 hours)
Northern Lights and 1 auto lemon skunk.
I find rockwool method pretty efficent. The best is to soak them in 5,5ph water (I used rain water) for 24h-48h to wash away the high ph of the rockwool. Also soak the seeds in the glass of water for the same amount of time, to soften the shell and then plant them, paper towel... Worked faster and better for me.
Downside of the rockwool is that it drys really fast and you need to water it like 2 times a day. Once I didn't have the time and 3 plants died, because it completely dried out.
15-20 days from the seed (was a slow progress due to limited sun and also it was raining alot)
Picture below was taken the next day, the plants were going outside. Maybe a little too late??
Thumbnail pictures (plants are outside)
Meanwhile I have started a second batch of 5 Auto super Mazars and 1 White russian. 2Mazars died due to underwatering ;(
I soaked all the seeds first and then planted some in the soil and some in the paper towel. I had 100%success with all the methods, but I find the soaking + directly in soil the most efficent and simple. (once in soil just max sun) This 2nd batch was outside on the direct sun and the plants were doing great and growing fast and strong. Don't know where any other pictures are.. I have put them outside at about 10cm and 3-4 stories of leafs.
