How do they look to everyone. Thought the would be a bit bigger.
Have read a lot and am a bit overwhelmed. I’ve already killed 3 seeds. Over watering I think.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated
When they are little they don’t need a lot of water, I mist around the base of the seedling. The soil needs to be damp, not too dry and not too wet. A happy medium between.
They look good to me, and they may seem small, but it takes them a little while to get established before they really start to take off with growth. Over watering is extremely easy to do, so just try to be careful and stay conscious of how much you’re giving, as well as how heavy your pots feel when they are saturated. Trust me, you can actually feel when a plant is thirsty!

Thanks for the insight. You are right I can feel when they are thirsty (very light). I weighed the pot at this time so now I know when to water. Starting week four on the EasyBud. Should I be adding nutes soon? Measuring PPM and Ph? All this info seems overwhelming. I’ve read so much.
It seems overwhelming, but trust me, once you get some practice and hands on experience doing it all, you’ll understand it more and fully conquer the once overwhelming feelings you have.
I start to feed after a couple nodes, you can usually tell by when your cotyledon leaves (baby leaves, sugar leaves, etc.) start to yellow is when I begin feeding. Sometimes I’ll be aggressive with feeding, and start with foliar sprays before this yellowing of the cotyledon leaves. I always give them nutrients like RapidStart and subculture M once I put them into the solo cup to begin its growth. So technically I start feeding from day one, just certain nutrient products, and low levels.

I transplanted one to a 3 gallon Smart Pot and feed it some root simulator half strength in 500 ml of water. I read that Auto’s do not like to be transplanted so I did it now instead of later. She is starting her 4th week. What is the smallest pot I can use to grow to harvest for an indoor Auto. Is one gallon big enough? My other girls is starting week three should I transplant her to a 3 gallon or is it too soon. All advice is greatly appreciated.
A 3 gallon is probably the smallest you can get away with using from start to finish with an auto.
Have you got more seeds? your setup looks like it can work with a few minor tweaks starting with a different soil I’d like to help if you are interested

Hi @Donaldj didn’t see your response to this post till today. I moved the thread over to grow journals where you helped me immensely. To answer your question I do have more seeds. Your help would be great. I have the organic soil now.
All good I have been on this forum long enough to see people open multi threads so knew where you were
