1st grow just started tonight..

I am growing AK47 autoflower feminized seeds.

working with two 240w kingbrite lights
DWC hydro system
i set the nuts to half due to being seedlings using general hydroponics

I filled up the buckets and got them nuted and PHed correctly then i jammed the seeds into the rapid rooter. I have the water level at right below the basket..I hope its enough to hit the seed

is everything looking alright? i was totally clueless how to start these autoflowers as it says all over that autoflowers can't deal with the stress of transplants.

If it water isn't hitting it, you can always hand water for a few days til the roots start getting hit with water. Nice setup as well. Good luck with this.

I personally would have let the Rapid Rooter out of the buckets until the seeds popped up and established a little. Just me though as it's a preference and nothing more.

We took some of the clay pebbles out and i raised the water level.

i am 100% sure now that the bubbles are kissing the bottom of the rapid rooter pod now.

I grow in dwc myself along with soil. DWC is a pain in the ass when you got a ton of plants going but the speed at which they grow is damn near unmatchable.

well i am starting with 2 i feared working with a lot of them lol. i just read over and over people say DO NOT TRANSPLANT AUTOFLOWERS so i was a tad nervous about starting them like this.

I hope they at the least root that would make me so happy

That's more for soil really as the transplants can slow the growing process down a bit which in return hurts the final yield of an auto. Star a journal....great time to get one going.
