Yeah I understand that's all good, and don't get me wrong I'm interested in seeing how these plants go for you. Just one thing, those pots look 60% full at most not 75%, but that's all good I assume you plan to bury the stalk as they grow? You'd probably want to so you can make the most of the volume of your pots. Will you keep them in the pots the whole time and only feed with top dressed aged manure and compost?

What does you tending to work have to do with anything? Don’t overwater and you won’t have damping off. Period. Doesn’t take having free time to correctly water. Being busy has no connection to this topic. Seems you have an overwater issue since you’ve experienced so much damping off. In all of my years I’ve never once had it happen. Water correctly. It’s not rocket science and if you need a fan to stop your poor watering habits from murdering your plants than maybe cultivation isn’t for u

I believe there's to many factors to say it's this or that. I've consulted friends who do thing differently than I do. Never had damp off and always overwater. It will come to them also, is just a matter of timing and right circumstances. Really hard to control everything that goes in and out of a grow room if you don't have filters before intake. I was talking 8-9 years back in time so your argument is not valid. We all have been new to growing.

You're right it's not needed or necessary for many, it's a failsafe. Being able to water seedling more before going to work will sometimes be a necessity, not optimal but necessary.

Hey I started my first grow Pineapple express auto and gorilla grow auto in 19L 5gallon 75% fill in which 40% Soil and 60% organic compost soil. It's been 1 and half day seeds have not sprouted in soil I followed old germination process which I planted the seed directly in soil and watered any suggestions on germination

I soak seeds in a glass of water overnight and plant directly into small pots and usually 3-5 days they emerge from the soil. I’ve had haze strains take almost 2 weeks to pop up before. Out of 50 seeds I may have 1 not sprout with this method. Good genetics from a reputable breeder is key. I keep the soil moist and the area about 75 degrees and have them waiting under a light so they get that glow the second they pop. Good luck

Yeah I will fill it as it grows I have organic fertilizer mix which is cow dung goat and sheep dungs and earthworm fertilizers and leaves of most plants decayed it in water and kept ready to apply will apply after 20 days of sprouting and reapply again after it starts flowering to maximize harvest
 
Awesome man I look forward to learning some old school techniques from your part of the world. You know what you're doing just be extra careful with them like you are and they'll be fine. I'll be keeping an eye out for some more pics in the coming days.

...actually Avinash, why don't you just start a journal on some real Indian Ganja? No offence but that will be much more interesting for us than watching a couple of autos that anyone can order..

I will think to start from this march man but it's a long process from seed to harvest but good results and the stuffs aroma will only get you high bcz of organic growth and importantly ours side soil is famous for mangoes king of fruit sweetest mangoes in india bcz of that required nutrients in soil every weed plant you grow this side will give you mango flavours and mango aroma you will be lost it I will feel like smoking mangoes man
 
I would plant the seeds in a solo cup. It is 100% easier to control the moisture. You then need to mix 40% Perlite in that soil or you may face a root issue down the road. I go from a solo cup to 1 gal then 3 or 5 gal. Good luck

Hydros means hybrid variety

Actually, hydro doesn't mean hybrid.
A hybrid is a variety that originates from two distinctly different varieties cross pollinated.

Hydro is short for hydroponics, which is the type of growing where the media is inert, so provides no nutrients itself, and the plant relies on the water to carry the nutrient solution. Methods like deep water culture, rockwool cubes (with drippers or hand watered), flood and drain (a.k.a. ebb and flow), nutrient film technique, Kratky method, and even growing in coco coir is considered hydro if it's pure, or used only with other inert ingredients like perlite or clay balls.
In some parts of the world though many people wrongly use the word 'hydro' as an adjective for any potent weed. This is bad practice as it devalues the much higher quality (in my opinion) organically grown weed like what you're growing.
It's actually an insult when somebody calls totally organic sun grown cannabis "hydro" just because it looks and smells good or is very strong.
