Yeah, thanks, I think you're right. I may have put it 1/4 inch down, but when I watered it, I think she floated to the top. My bad. She's dead, and I'm sad , but her sisters are doing good.

That just goes to show that no matter how long you do this, it's still and art and science, and that you can never know everything.

Motdot Reviewed by Motdot on . Nirvana Auto Seedling Dying Quick High everyone, not new to growing, but wanted some feedback on an auto seedling. Her stem is super thin and I don't know why. I germed 3 other autos at the same time, and they look healthy (fingers crossed). I don't think she'll make it, and I wonder what I did wrong. She's in FF Ocean soil. I initially germed on paper towels, and nothing happened, and then I was told to plant directly into moist soil. Then all 4 popped their heads! Please see pics and tell me what I could have Rating: 5
