Novice/autos/made mistakes already/ please help

Hi all new to the forum, new to growing, joined so I can get tips advice if I need it.

6 days in need it badly already!!

so… started this in another post but missed out detail so starting again ( thanks to everyone who already helped me in other post).

3x3 ac infinity 733
Spiderfarmer se3000
Biobizz lightmix
Mephisto Hubbabubbahaze
12ltr fabric pot
Dechlor water with root juice

no ventilation or circulation so far lights on 20/4. 8inches from pot.

ok so germinated using paper towel and put in soil 8/2. Fed 1 ltr. Realised planted 2 deep moved some soil and it sprouted 10/2. Fed it 2 ltr.
By 13/2 all looking well if a little slow fed 1/2 ltr and started original post oworry.
Now 15/2 signs of overwater showing in leaves and not sure how to move forward.
Advice already given and takeis don’t touch this one and start again.
Popped another seed (same again) in a glass today to have another go alongside this one

will attach photos taken so far and continue to update this thread with my progress if anyone remains interested.
Thanks again for help already received and help I’ll hopefully receive in the future. Just want to try and be self sustaining

all the best
Postie.

Get some air circulation
Looks way too wet
Too much light, light too close
-300watt light dimmed to 50% 8in away??

Lol if light is 8 inches away. Would put at 36 in away and dimmed. And every thing dank said need to do

Yeah adding circulation asap adding exhaust in a week or so?
And yeah soul defo too wet (only know that now though) and yeah dimmed to 40 percent

Shouldn’t have to feed for a couple weeks and only like a half cup of water every couple days. Drowning it and burning them up at the same time

Hope u raised light way up. If at 8 inches May wanna dim down to like 10% or something

So up to 36 inches still at 40 percent?

add a fan in pronto

stop feeding lol

That right? Thanks guys

I like to keep the seedlings in this for a while under a t5 bulb

The T5 has been my germ/starter/seedling light for years. Start every seed, auto and photo, under 96w T5HO and grow for 3 weeks 24/0.

BBLM needs nothing for 2-3 weeks except water....I only use distilled...

IOW...plant a seed and let her rip. Only add patience.

So I do have a propagator and a little pot which I bought but didn’t use cause most of the information I found on autos basically said go straight to final pot. I guess I still should have covered it with a clear cup though maybe? I don’t really have funds to buy extra light or a space to put it really. Trying to put the money together to buy exhaust and CF next

You perhaps should get out of the auto myth page.
I start every seed in small solo cups and transplant all to final at 2 weeks....15 yrs perpetual makes me think it's perfectly ok.

People keep telling him this he just doesn’t care

That’s not fair bud I mentioned I’ve had help and advice already and that I’m thankful for that. I care a lot that’s why I’m here It’s prudent to get as much advice as possible though before I make any more mistakes?
I’m genuinely thankful again for your help despite me having upset you for not taking it as gospel.

Sorry, bud only positive karma to ya...
I always get a chuckle at various little things that seem to give new growers the hiccups....
with on 3 things required, so much other shit becomes pitfalls that snare the others....
Guess growing up in the south where FFA taught us the basics of farming the old fashioned way...plant that shit and go drink coffee.

Thank you so much for your help. I’m in the uk and a 90’s kid so only thing I ever grew was cress determined to get the hang of this though

My advice is solid but I guess I see it a little different
I never learned anything on YouTube so there is that
You ask you get perspectives then you start another thread looking for responses you agree with
Which is just a waste of time for those actually trying to keep you sorted
Kinda like these guys who order seeds and if the vendor doesn’t personally contact them in two days they put a stop payment out
My efforts have failed to reach you but I do hope you stop trying to master watering seedlings in large pots at some point

This is exactly what i do with every seed, photo or auto. I'm about 14 yrs behind though LOL!

You can transplant an auto without issue provided you can transplant well. It may take a few times to get it right, you may fuck up a time or two, it may work, it may not work. Sometimes an auto is just gonna auto and there ain't shit you can do about a 4in tall flowering plant. One of my transplants, Double Grape, is literally smaller than my solo cup grow and a Samsquanch OG I transplanted is the biggest auto I've grown yet....autos are weird sometimes.

24-36in at 40% would be a good starting point for your light...if your seedlings begin to stretch, then dial it up 5-10% and keep an eye on it.

You can pick up a 4in inline duct fan for $30+- from a hardware store or you can just wedge a 6in desk fan into the top port and have it blow air out. Use your stoner brain and figure it out. Get some air circulation in that tent going asap before you get bugs.

Again I didn’t start the new thread for a different answer in fact I popped a new seed as you suggested and prepped soil in the tiny pot as you suggested and I’ll put it in there as you suggested. I started the new thread to add the detail I had missed from the first thread all in 1 opening post from the off/to get additional opinions/input. And intend to keep only this thread going.
I don’t know why I’ve upset you so much I’m following your advice

This auto started just like the babes behind it, in a red cup for about 15 days, transferred to this 2gal fabric pot where it'll stay. I even topped it as you can see, AND some semi-aggressive LST and pruning. Not quite "mainlined" but this is as close as I'll get to doing that anyway. This about day 29. Could be bigger if I quit molesting it but my yield is gonna be better for sure.
