What about autos? Do you grow two weeks in the solo then transplant?

Yep. Anything I grow from seed gets that treatment. Two weeks is enough to get a good start but not be root-bound. I’ve let them go longer in the cup and didn’t notice a significant change, but I do think it’s important to not inhibit autos since their clock is always ticking.

@BarefootAndBlazed copy. So the theory is [germination to two weeks, solo], then transplant and perform the one top water and just water via the reservoir?

Exactly, which is why I’m curious if starting the seed in the octopot, top watering (with the reservoir full - so the roots can grow toward the water) until you see the growth explosion, or have visual confirmation of roots at the reservoir, then just let it rip?

check out @Papalag’s thread He’s been doing jetdro’s method too. The Octo’s do seem like the best bet with autos imo. I’ve been debating picking some up.
DWC, if your water is good for it(no root rot issues), it’ll work fantastically too. But it’s waay more work than the octo or hempy.

Seems like this would be logical. Was watching videos on starting from seed in am octopot and it really doesn’t get any easier.
Now just need to decide the medium, and I’m thinking I’m just going to continue with the 60/40 vermiculite/perlite mix and use the Jacks nutes. They’re performing really well in the hempy, seems like a no brainer

Haven’t tried vermiculite yet. I use 50/50 Pro-mix and perlite in my hempy’s. And what I plan on using in my octo’s.

I may have to pick some up and run a comparison.
