I just received my 20 WW auto. Took six days amazing, great service, thanks all. Plan to do container grow in 7 gal. Using Happy Frog potting soil. Should I germinate in containers or smaller starter medium

For autos, indoors you only need 3 gal pots and you can use 5-7 gal for outdoors.
Congrats on the new beans!!!

What @MattyBear said!
It would be best to germinate the seeds before planting and probably into a small pot like a solo cup to reduce the chance of over watering. Then go into 3 gallon for their forever home once they’re rooted.

Woohoo @Zepman55
The ww is some good smoke
With autos 3 gal pots are perfect indoors
You can start in solo cuos ans transplant later
You can use bigger pots but its not needed
I actually usw two gallon pots and my autos will get to be 4 foot tall
Save the soil bro

I start my autos in rapid rooters once roots show they go into their forever home. Then for a week or so I only water a circle around the plant Mabry a 4 inch circle. Then they get watered every 3 days

You can not go wrong with Robert’s suggestions on germination
But a soak in water for 24 hrs and straight to the dirt
Some wait till they see a lil “tail” coming out then they go to the dirt
Some soak for a day then wet a paper towel fold the seed in the paper towel put in a ziplock bag for a couple days or till a root shows
I went straight to dirt this time no presoak and all of them sprouted great

Thanks CB, however I have land and unable to grow indoor do to visitors that do not share the same value on the benefits of Mother Nature. With that in mind 3 or 5 for outdoor which I can conceal

I put the beans in the dirt this morning. A little concerned as none of the 5 showed any sign of sprouting. I have 2 75w cfl approximately 12" away and will be on 24/7

The soak was for 24 hrs and then on a damp paper towel for 12 hrs. Reduce lighting to one lamp and raised 6" look to be drying out
