:volcano:
Finally got one to sprout. They say to start autos in the same pot you want to finnish them in. So I'm trying g to sprout them outdoors in the shade/ covered with clear plastic so as to keep the humidity and warmth up.

:bonghitter: Ok...I've got two sprouts in two flowering pots. Keeping them out of the direct sun, it is intense out there. Covered with plastic to keep them from drying out & warmer at night. Kept two chilis in pots to grow beside them. Less conspicuous I hope.

mother nature is a bitch...
My therapist says I am a habitual liar and an attention seeker, therefore nothing I say/write is true and under no circumstances should I be believed nor held accountable for anything I say. all photo's are paintings

People are born with the instinct to fight against their own death, to struggle with their last breath against even the most unavoidable and uncompromising ends.

The dog is in the dog house. She chewed up my plant as it was sunbathing on the deck. It was laying on it's side when I found it. She and I are lucky I'm a pacifist, otherwise anger would've had it's way & I'd have even more regret...It'll grow back... :facepalm:

Supposed to be the case with these autos that you don't do anything to stunt their veg time due to it's limited duration. Like transplanting and topping. I've lost seeds that I otherwise wouldn't have, trying to do this the right way vs my usual way already. Like I said before, these autos have use but not much and I prefer regs

my brother in VA grows the autoflowers. I have only when the seed broker sends them for free.
His yields are ok for the short term grow, but Ive been urging him to go regular and get the veg time needed for outdoor trees.
He can only grow 4 at a time.
