Bumble thanks mate.my watering.well before i pot the seeds i wet all the medium in the pot with water and takeroot.making sure all the medium is wet.then under the light they go.this way u dont have to give any water for the first 2 weeks.then water as needed.i water every 3 days and build up as needed.these girls drink 3 litre of water a day now.and i dont give my plants any feed until week 3 to 4 of life .so all my plants are lucky to get 2 veg feeds then there onto bloom;) i go by the weight of pots to when u water.and i never water till run off.i like my plants to hold everything i give them.hope this helps.anymore questions just ask;)

Om goodness! I water mine every evening. 1-1/2 gal. for each the lady. Very little runoff. 60 oz. for the preemies. Very little runoff as well. Each is nuted up according to the Skunklab feeding chart. I have the funny feeling maybe I am over watering yet with my temps being so high, 30 straight days over 100, it was sufficient. Now with temps almost 10 degrees cooler, I should hold off a wee bit maybe...

Yea its important to let them dry out inbetween watering so the roots can breath oxygen;)

Cool man, thanks. I'm in it to TRIM IT! ✂️ I'll do some every other day. On the AUTO side of things, I laid down the Jack HERER autos (7) about 3 weeks ago.

Only 2 have sprouted with one just poking out this morning. Slowly unfolding, I had to help remove the shell. Akgramma talked a bit on this technique, really helped. The other is taking its time putting out its first set of leaves. Only the bean leaves for 3 days. This morning I saw some hope! A small leaf poking out!!

That's why I'm switching seed banks. Maybe I'll have better results germing seeds. My Skunks pop in 24-36hrs. They are fresh. If I get only 5 from my current bank, the send the oldest batch. The more you order, the fresher the seeds. That's not cool, each seed should be important. Not bait me to spend more money. So the vibe is slowly becoming null! Anyhow, I'm struggling here. But that's how we learn. All advice is appreciated. Peaceful blazing...

Tap water soak in jar for about 24 hrs. Transfer to pre-soaked soil in seed pots(ones that disintegrate) where they remain til sprouted. Once sprouted, they go in to their final pot. My skunk tap out in the jar, these won't. Did paper towel with the nl-autos. Had same results almost. Germed 5, only 3 popped. After a week in paper towels, I soiled em. Still have 3 left I'm saving or I'll flip em with a friend. I have a vegetable garden as well and I don't go through all that crap to sprout any of those plants.

Temperature maybe? Plus, someone commented here you'll drown em. In fact, said I drowned them by leaving In water for 2 days, so I abandoned the soak til they Crack technique. I'm in the low 90s here and don't run ac in my studio, where I start the germ process. Hmmmmm. The reason I started the JACK HERER early was I decided to do 1 seed, the proper cks germination way, and hope beyond my previous hope, it would react exactly as it says( or like my skunk seeds) and let me put a squiggly lol tap root into my starter pot. So I did. Nothing after 16 days. Soooo, my wife says just do the whole darn batch, can't be all bad, eh? So I did, no paper towel, just to the soil after they soaked. I'm almost tempted, to try 1 of these NYC Diesel autos out of pure dam male pride!! Lol. Bumble, stay away from germination station... ha ha huh?
