Am I rushing the process or start over?

Yes. Once taproots are out I put them directly in the 5gal container, Where they pop up and will spend their life! No transplanting. That’s just personal preference. I never transplant with autos because I don’t want the chance of stunting them.

Some people germinate in the soil, but for me that hasn’t always worked. With the first germination process i explained earlier I’ve had a 100% germ rate with ILGM seeds.

And if putting right into a big girl pot be wary of overwatering. Baby ladies dont need heavy water or even to runoff. A nice shower around the outside of the rootzone makes the roots spread and hunt the water and prevents damping off. Bigger roots, bigger plants

Agreed! Very important. I use a mister for the first week or two. I’ve made the mistake of a accidentally letting too much water flow at once and uprooted a :seedling:. Stunted her bad.
