I purchased some autos last fall. Got seeds started in paper towels. Dropped into rich black dirt outside. All of them died. I read your advice on growing autos. So I ordered more autos in June. I received a total of 10 auto seeds. I dropped seeds in water for 24 hours. Then planted in holes in ground that I filled with a half foot of peet moss 1 inch deep. Only one sprouted. It's about 2 inches tall and hasn't grown any since. It just sits there, not dieing the leaves are pretty and green. It's been 10 days since sprouting. Needless to say I'm not a happy customer and will not be ordering autos again.
