The taller one was germinated in unbleached paper towel. The drops of water had already dried out after I peeked between two saucers 24 hours later, I added some extra drops of water and tried a different dark location, not the cupboard on top of the fridge, the other one. By 48 hours I had one inch plus straight as a nail beginning of a root, as I planted this I added a new seed to the soil for fun (the helmet head). The helmet head traveled over three inches across the pot the sprout very close the the germinated one. Lets call them Andy Cap (helmet head) and Yao (the taller one). After reading a bit online I decided spitting on a seed sounds just plain rude, So I just misted with plain water periodically for a day or less and eventually was able to flick the cracked seed off the baby flower without stress. I am not trying to compete with anyone I just want to see the easiest way to grow at home.
week 15 - fall equinox already passed, i cant recall over 5 days straight sun, too many coulds, not enough days 30c or above, but hot enough in grow space. For sure my personal study on urban growing specialty plants in "available" light will be a challenge, following any photosynthesis chart the plant without constant light energy will not feed on schedule and cycles will overlap so to say. most interesting observation is how Headband (auto grow) and Red Dragon (not quite auto grow) both produced smell and the stringy buds the exact same time. side by side might be pretty special. i estimate a harvest in 17 days, testing a heater below 9c.
She still looks young.. Those white hairs should change color. To.. like an orangish reddish color .. The # of weeks isn't a guarantee just a general time.. Harvest you watch the crystals when they go from milky white to. Amber color then its ready.. 20% amber 80%milky is what i like..
