Well I'm starting a little late because I've been busy lately. At the moment I have 17 two-week-old bag-seed plants in the ground at the plot. I bought some New Purple Power seeds from Nirvana Seeds Standard and have germinated them using the paper towel method. I achieved 100% germination with these seeds in contrast to the freebie seeds germination rate of 30%. One of the NPP seedlings is an oddity, sporting three cotyledon rather than the normal two. These 13 seeds are currently in party cups under 40watts of fluorescents until they start developing the second set of leaves, then I will plant them at the plot with the others.
My Hawaiian step-father is instructing me on how to do the grow. His methods are a little odd. I question some of these instructions, but I've got to take it with a grain of salt. I feel I know nothing on the subject, despite the fact that I've read tons of threads and numerous books/grow guides. Experience is the reason I feel that I know nothing, because I have none. My step dad has many years of grows under his belt, in many different climates. He has grown successfully in the following places: Arizona, Hawaaii, Florida, Puerto Rico, and Massachusetts. He grew up in Hawaii and has smoked since 14, I started around the same time. He's a really cool guy and we have a special herbal relationship. We share buds and have smoke sessions weekly.
My camera I will be using will not be around until Saturday or Sunday, so I'll have to hold off on any outdoor pictures until then. I was going to put up a few cell phone pictures of the seedlings that are inside but the quality is so bad that I decided not to. I’ll update either Saturday or Sunday so sit tight and stay safe.
Peace
