The taproot sprouted quickly, and the seed shell was still intact when I planted it into the soil.

Trying to keep light exposure high and indirect breeze from a fan bouncing off the wall to strengthen the stem.

I changed the light source to a daylight halogen bulb... that seems to be slowing or stopping the stretching. Love seeing the leaves open and form!

This one was such an eager beaver, but I'm worried that it's gotten ahead of itself. I've been taking it outside for a few days to try to get some indirect sunlight when the weather was nice, before I can properly plant them in the ground. The stretching seems to have slowed, but I still need to hold it up to keep the leaves from swinging all over the place (and away from the light). There are some brown spots on the leaves that look dry... I'm hoping I just had them too close to the light or something and that it's not disease.

Starting to slowly harden off the plant as the weather gets nicer and sun shines warm and strong. Keeping it in shade for the most part with occasional sun. Hoping to be able to transplant it outside in a week or two.

This puppy seems to be doing what it was born to do. The stretch has stopped, lots of dense leaves forming every day. Really interested in seeing how it handles transplanting outdoors soon.

Now that I've hardened it off and am leaving it in sunshine most of the day, this seedling is really happy! Lots of new leaves, and starting to see the familiar 5 leaf structure developing.

The blueberry is still charging ahead just like it always has. Stiffening stalk, lots of leaves forming, and deepening colour from the sun and fresh air.

Plant has taken well to the new location, growing fairly tall and producing good leaf formation.

This plant is growing straight like a sativa is known to do... need to FIM and start training it out in the next few weeks. Pleased with the overall look of it though.

This is the tallest plant of the lot! Stretching up tall, I FIMmed it today hoping to encourage more spread than upright growth.

Getting taller... this one is definitely showing it's sativa genetics. The plant is soaking up the sun, but I'm hoping some LST might help the other branches grow further.

Tall and spindly is how this one is growing. I topped it again because my FIMming didn't work, tidied up some of the lower leaves, and am just leaving things be for the moment.

Started LST on this to try to fill out the top... got three main ties in, hoping to keep going with new growth. This strain just isn't doing what I expected... maybe because of the type of genetics or the fact it's planted in the ground.

Growing ever closer to flowering. More LST and some light defoliation is all this one needed this week. Might be flowering by next week.

This lady is doing pretty well. Doesn't need much this week, and the buds are just starting to form. high hopes for her.

Buds are really taking off this week, starting to rival the Med Mass ones that are a week or more ahead. Holding tight otherwise... just keeping things trim and tight.

This plant is growing nicely... stretching out long arms of flowers. Looking like it might be the second biggest producer in this location...

This plant is chugging along nicely, growing some nice flowers and moving towards harvest. The flowers have a faint fruity smell that makes me think of peaches.

A terrible storm blow down this plant, and then the trellis fell on top of it overnight to add injury to insult. I tried to patch the plant up as best I could, but ultimately decided to harvest it.
