    Default First time growing, think I put them too deep last night.

    Hi guys, so I'm growing 3 auto's. Currently potted them in 11litre pots last night with blackmagic compost at the bottom followed by john innes no.2 at the top 5 inches. I really broke the soil apart for easier first growth but think I may have dug them a bit too deep, maybe over and inch down. I haven't compacted the soil and top and I'm spaying lightly once a day on top and they are in A cupboard sitting at 25C with clingfilm on top and a small plastic pot on the planting area.
    Do you think that's too deep and they just wont pop out at all? or shall I just leave them alone and cross my fingers. The seeds were fresh and from a good company.

    Thats is a little deep mate, I do mine around 1/4 inch. I personally would leave them, keep the top of the soil moist so they dont struggle to break through. How did you germinate them mate?

    As said. 1/4" is more than enough...

    beans can take up to 72hours to pop, cut some 2lt bottles a 100mm down from the neckline, spray inside and pop over where you seeded. take off once first true leaves have sprouted.
    check out the germination threads and useful info.
