Hello Everyone i am new to this amazing community and hobby and i had 2 failed attempts before and now i have the money to retry i bought a few seeds and im ready but im not sure what to do after germination
What im asking is witch seed should i try first from these seeds
1.Sensi Skunk Auto
2.Early Skunk (From Sensi)
3.Super Skunk (From Sensi)
Secondly i want to know what pot to use after germination so like should i use a plastic cup then transplant or should i use a half gallon pot or should i start in the big 3.5 Gallon pot
And Finally i am fully unaware of the nutrients and soils i was wondering when should i start using nutrients what kind and why and if the soil contains nutrients should i not add any to the water

You can start in whatever size pot you want. If you start in a bigger pot, it can be easy to overwater it just because it's a bigger pot. That said, being a new grower, I would use the bigger pot.

Are you planning on growing indoors? If so, what kind of lighting do you have?

As far as soil and feeding, if you get a soil that already has nutrients, you won't need to add any for 3-4 weeks

You have a lot of questions, best thing I can recommend is doing your homework. Take a night and research forums, read about other peoples problems and etc.

Seedling stage is the easiest in my opinion. Even if you do mess up during seedling stage don’t have nearly as much time invested. If you mess up 4 weeks into flower it’s all gone down the drain

Imo you got two soil choices light or seedling and allmix/potting soil. One is atronger nutrient wise one is weaker but both should get you through the first two weeks growth zero ferts or addutives and your stronger soil will get you through till your next repot and probably only want ferts in late flowering.

If you put a seedling in soil and it goes tits up something else is up not usually the soil which is a finished product made by clever people. Rome wasnt built in a day and theres a lot else to get right like your envirobment and when to actually water.

I prefer a seedling or lighter soil to start as some can be a little strong and stunt you for a week till it get use to it.

Thats a general overview and most would recomend small pots and transplant up as they out grow each pot. I start in three inch pots from shop that have drainage hole in, solo or those cheap ass small party cups will do just drill some drainage holes in the bottom.

Sensi is a rocking company, love sensi skunk and super skunk never tried the other. Either the skunk or super skunk will be the same to grow but personally id do superskunk just because overall i felt it was the strongest and better high.

Good luck :-)

So what i understand is to get soil with not so many nutrients for the seedling and put it in a party cup and then trasnplant into bigger pot and add normal soil with nutrients
And i would like to ask if its ok to start of inside with a 12W Led Light for seedling and then when its in vegetative put it outside

Yes you're on the ball. You should really go with soiless medium if this is your first time, but yes 12w led will work for seedlings try to get to them as close as possible, grow them for a couple weeks under the led and they will be ready to go outside, ideally you would want to veg them for 3 weeks but it's not necessary they will take off as long as they are saplings and no longer seedlings.

When do you plan on putting them out? where are you located?
I'm on the 45th parallel and we dont put them out till June 20th

Start with regular plants. Not an auto. Start in small containers and gradually increase the size. Seems like unnecessary work but the plant will grow faster doing this instead of going from a Dixie cup to a 5 gallon container.

So you can definitely put them out earlier I'm really not sure how early you should ask your local garden store. As far as using soil theres nothing wrong with that it's just does bring more possible problems such as nute burn and lockout, just would make things easier for your first grow to go with soiless.
