That soil looks a bit chunky for seeds, they like fine sifted soil. They also need deeper pots for the tap root to grow straight down.
Also the one above “Royal” doesn’t look like a Cannabis sprout?

Hey y’all I’m AestheticGenetiX.

My set ups are small. I normally have like 3 or 4 smaller tents to be running perpetual. Using an ac infinity controller has been super helpful especially once I started chasing vpd more.

I’ve grown every which way but once I went organic with dry amendments, I’ve pretty much stayed that way.

I like to experiment. I recently tried to see if I could grow organic with 1 gallon pots while using a drip irrigation system. The results were super surprising considering everyone says you cant do organics in smaller pots. Having the drip irrigation for consistent watering makes all of the difference.

But I also like my Earthboxes and have started a no till style with them. I have worms in my old soil to recycle later and they’re happy as can be.

They’re so proliferous that even my starter pots will have worms living in them.

Even my 1 gallon grows have become living soil.

I like clones and organics. I also run seeds from smaller breeders I come across and have had great luck with seeds that way.

All of the top breeders on growdiaries or even when you Google to find seeds have always been less than I expect. I thought I was just mediocre at growing until I found clones that are legit. They’ve made me a master grower.

Clones and organics have changed my quality forever

I agree the finer the soil The easier the taproot can penetrate down and seed can protrude through the top of the soil i missed mine relatively heavy in the morning and again. At night, usually have results within 5 or 6 days.Try to keep the humidity and temps above 70 no higher than 85. Just for the seedling stage. Once it reaches vegetation, lower it down about 10° and 10% humidity.

If you would just add a saucer and some wicking string to those drain elevators you would have an auto water setup like veeversuns

Lol got them on oil pans for runoff. I’ve never tried the bottom feed thing

Game changer when it comes to over and under watering. However it gets tricky with dry back in flower I am learning. But for autos it legit. I almost bought the elevators and went to dollar tree for oil pans to do that exact setup. Once the root finds the water it sends the signal out and they all go that way so you got to time it right and spray the top for a while for root establishment, So use the oil pans and add some wicking string string and you got a not so autopot with you as the reservior!
