    Plenty of nutrients already in the soil so maybe last more than 10-15 days. Wait until plants start to lighten up before using nutes as very easy to overfeed at this stage

    Put my seeds in soaked kitchen towel last night. Put em in a sandwich bag n placed in a cupboard in the kitchen. Gonna leave 24hrs n see what happens.

    They had already been siting in glass of water over 48hrs.

    No mate, the taproot will start to show once in the jiffy and paper towel 👍 if you leave the seeds in water too long they can drown

    As AND said, with you being in soil you will be fine to leave them for a while due to nutes already there, coco is an innert medium with no nute value

    Ive not used autopots or soil really so im not in the best place to advise really 😂 but il drop in and keep an eye on things for ya, help out where i can

    I wait until I have 10-15mm tap and then drop straight into 500ml pot about 10mm deep, make sure taproot is pointing downwards, cover pot with bit of plastic to keep humidity up. Some use bottle necks but I find a small square of plastic sheeting works fine.

    Mist daily until roots established and you have at least 2 sets of leaves then remove the plastic

    No experience of Jiffy plugs but yeah, that would also work

    I used root it cubes this time round in a prop, they were good to use mate. Just dipped them in 0.5ml rhizo solution then squeezed out the excess
