Hey guys my seeds are germintaing as we speak.. there autoflowers. My 1st question is should i soak the soil before planting? Ive read a couple places to do that..? If so do i completely soak the soil and how long before planting. My 2nd question is when the seeds are planted should i put plastic foil over the pot covering the seed in the soil? And last is it ok to use my 600 led light for the seedling stage ? If i keep it up high up in the tent.? Thanks guys
Nah, all that extra stuff isn't necessary. Nature doesn't require foil to grow seeds LOL
When you see the tap root, after about a day of germinating, use some tweezers and gently place the seedling root down in the soil. About 1/2" deep and cover. I don't worry about pre-soaking the soil, or anything like that. After you plant the seed, just add some water to the soil. I like using a syringe to lightly water them when they're small, as they don't need much. Also, don't water so much that the container spills water run-off. I like to make the roots search for moisture. It promotes root growth.
Just think about nature. Nature's going to do most of the work by itself. You just need to set the stage
