First time growing. Auto seed also. Day 8 no growth in height but 2nd set of true leafs started coming through yesterday morning. And looking a bit better today. Is it normal to be growing more out wood than straight up. I think I'm just panicking a bit. It has stretched out a bit width ways but that's about it.
Day 8

You're worry, and hovering, way too much! They are fine, just leave them alone. They will go through several days of not showing growth. After they pop their first set of fans to collect light energy, they put all their energy into growing a strong root structure. After that, they'll start showing more growth.
I know you are absolutely correct. I have different people say different things and being my 1st time growing it get confusing. All I'm going to do is wait and see what happens. Thanks a lot

You'll learn a lot during your first grow. We all hovered over our sprouts wondering if they were green enough. And we all look back at ourselves and roll our eyes LOL!
Exactly. Only thing I'm not sure is about the pot size. At the moment it's in one big pot as I was told auto seeds should go straight to final pot from seedling is that correct

I'll let someone else answer, since I grow via hydro, and only grow photos. But normally, you want to start them in very small containers, and work up from there. Reason being, little ones can dry out if the soil around their roots is dry, even if the outer parts of the soil still have moisture. Even if the pot is still heavy from moisture, the little ones can show signs of underwatering.
OK thanks
