Was moist enough after a few hours, helmet removed, keeping the high tech water bottle bottom on for a couple days. (<-- No youāre not crazy ladyā¦just admit itā¦)
Thx again @ReikoX

Grabbing a branch to get lit on in the back row for your grow show.
Looks good, little seedling looks so aloneā¦ I hope you talk to it and give it lots of encouragement.

Of course there is my friend, our night owl is a screech, ever night around 11pm, she flyās in front of the motion lights and gets the bugs fly around, then she swoops in and gobbles them up like a buffet. Her nest is being well guarded and I think she has or is going to have an egg, she sings softly on the branch outside her nest after a feast as I sit in the garden and hit the vapor while watching the stars.

Autos grow to size according to how much space their root zone has, thatās why a lot of auto growers plant seeds directly into their final pots. The tap root shoots downward until it canāt go any further and then says, āThatās all the space that I have to growā. So you want to make sure that taproot doesnāt hit the bottom of a Solo cup before you get it transplanted into its 7 gallon home. At least thatās how it was explained to me when I was complaining about my first auto yielding 7 gramsš Since then the couple Iāve ran have gotten much larger in size

but do you extract part of the tap root before transplanting? Bonsai teachings show something like thatā¦ My auto is pretty small and it made me wonder how to do better in the future. Thanks.
Bwuahahaha- of course! While Iām out there, I smoke a j, and let them all know that ill be seeing them soon

Right, I had always heard that too so I started mine in 7 gallon pots of organic soil, still only got just over an ounce. They just do not grow fast enough for me in soil to be even close to 2ft or larger. Not sure whatās wrong with my soil or my watering but the slowness is there across them all. Iād need coco or hydro to get a big auto. The DWC was my own mistake but still managed to get over an ounce so I donāt consider it a loss. My buddy does 7 gallon fabrics of coco and can get big autos that put out 4-6+oz no problem.

Iām in! I had some 3 bears a while back but I lost them somehow 
Still yet to grow an auto. I think Iāll grab one next time I purchase seeds and try it out.

Iām curious about dwc and autos. Ever since my hempy experience, Iām wondering how difficult it really would be to grow a big auto in dwc style.
Edit : i could always do a hempy, lord knows those things perform amazing, but want the wicked growth and less effort = dwcā¦

Iāve been pondering on the same thing but in smaller buckets.

Fixed that for ya! 
I think youād love growing in an Octopot. Thatās what I use for all my autos. I start the seed in a Solo cup with the same soil mix, then transfer into the 6 gallon ācolumnā of soil that sits atop the Octopotās reservoir before it becomes root bound (around two weeks). From there you just add water/nutes to the rez once a week or so. I average 4oz per Mephisto auto, with the smallest producing 3oz and largest over 5oz.

Do you use soil or soil-less? @BarefootAndBlazed
