Hey there grasscity! So I planted my Nirvana auto NL feminized seed on the 27th. I don't have pics yet, but the PC case is decent 19" h x 8" w x 20" L and right now it's under 3200 lumens of 6500k CFL. The container it is in covers most of the floor of the case, with some home depot NatureMix organic potting soil (definitely a knockoff), and since I've planted it the soil has received 250ml of water. Right now the soil is dry, should it be moist? I have no sprout yet, temps are stable but I'm wondering If I should put a humidity dome over the container. Temperatures are sticking around at 68f, humidity in the middle of the comfort zone, but I plan to add another 3200 lumens later in the grow. Is it still even too early?
if he didn't, it's atleast 3-4 days from popping if it's not germinated, keep the soil moist, maybe 5-15ml of water depending on dryness
I put the seed in a glass of water for 6 hours and then in a moist paper towel inside a ziplock bag in complete darkness for about a day. The shell cracked so I figured it'd be ok to plant. So i'll moisten the soil again tonight? Good idea yes?
Well, normally you might want to wait for the seed's tap root to sprout through first because right now you do not even know if you have a viable seed. Only time will tell!
i never germinate and always just drop the seed in soil, takes about 6-7 days for it to breakthrough if it's good
The tail was emerging from the seed as I planted it, and being an auto flower I bet it'll be a tough cookie and push through in time, but I am freaking out because I read on another forum that it's not a good idea to water autos after you plant D: anyone have experience?
Well, generally seeds have enough nutrients in them during the germination period. You don't need to water more than once or twice more just enough to keep moisture inside the cup and you should also put saran wrap on your cup to also increase humidity.
It's actually in the final container already, and not all of the soil is moist so I was thinking I might need a bit more. I'll also put the bag over tonight.
So I am facing another issue. I have 3 fans in this PC. 140mm Intake at the front, 120mm rear exhaust, and 120mm side intake for strong stems. But with only 46 watts in there it's too cool, I just checked the box out and it stabilized at 68f and 30% humidity, and my baby hasn't even begun to penetrate soil yet!! That's not good is it, are those conditions even viable for the seedling to sprout?
Eeeeeek bad news I dug up the soil out of curiosity and of course the seed was unviable It was a bit crushed in the package even but I wanted to try my luck, last time I ever buy from Nirvana again... Anyways good news GreenHouse Auto Fem Big Bang is germing rn I'm even more excited now because the genetics of big bang include NL + el nino and skunk :O either way its a good smoke apparently and i'm still getting those NL genes!! I'm gonna go out and get a camera once I plant her, don't go anywhere! This PC case is looking nice
wanna see how this goes, im planning to start growing some auto NL by the 1st day of april. Just hope that it is 100% autoflowering so that i can grow it outside
