In this video, I germinate my very first autoflower seed using the method recommended by Chase. Instead of paper towels, plastic bags, or complicated setups, we’re planting directly into soil and creating the ideal environment for a healthy start.
As a beginner grower, I’m documenting the entire process—including the questions, mistakes, and lessons I’m learning along the way—so you can learn with me.
In this video:
• How I prepared the soil
• Why we added a layer of nutrient-free growing medium
• How deep to plant an autoflower seed
• How much water to use during germination
• Creating a simple humidity dome
• Setting up environmental controls with the Spider Farmer app
Whether you’re growing your first plant or just curious about the process, follow along as we start this grow from seed to harvest.
Have you had success germinating directly in soil? Let me know in the comments.
