My first grow! Autoflowers in soil

Normally about 2 days after the seat soak
I've seen vigorous strains pop out in one day thriving

We just planted in soil to germinate. so including germination time too

Yeah I read that. we wanted to try it out, we have photos on hand for the next grows
Is it just because they can be hard to recover from issues?

They are a gimmick, there is no use case unless you have extra space in a tent or outside in a warm climate. The genetics are very finicky, you have no room for error. Cannot train and get a good yield unless you have very specific genetics. It's the new fad so seed chuckers are everywhere selling them. I would say circle back down the line and experiment. Just don't want a new grower having a bad harvest due to those things, sometimes you'll get lucky, but it's rare unless you spend a fortune on seeds like mephisto and then photos are still better IMO

Checking back in with a progress report!

9 days from planting for my WW and 6 days for my GSC.
The germination was slow so I started double checking what I'd done. I realized I planted too deeply so I scraped about .2-.25" of soil off of them. They shot right out and other than a case or two lingering seed casings/membranes they've been looking good. I attached some pictures of the one that struggled with the helmet the worst.

Currently my tent is hovering around 76deg and 65-69%RH with my light at 240w* 24-25" away from the plants. I've observed some leaning in the plants "towards" the light, so I tried rotating the pots this morning.

*changed light to 240w to make sure the little guy doesn't burn up

We watered them 2 cups each yesterday morning. Growing medium is Coco Loco in fabric pots.

Any feedback on this would be awesome!
