Soaked the beans in paper towel until the root emerged. This took 24 hours. From here the seed was placed in 3 inch pots until germination, which took an additional 2 days. From soaking to heads up 3 days which is a textbook start.
I plan to veg these out for 7 weeks. I will be watering with a mix of rain water, pH corrected fish tank water and my homemade compost tea / juice. I don't plan to use synthetic fertilizers, as my goal is to do a full organic/natural grow.
I do plan on pollinating these plants (with feminized pollen) so the final yield numbers are going to be misleading (let you know this from day 1 so that you are not disappointed at the end).
I have not grown many sativa's out so I am very much looking forward to seeing how this plant will shape up. I expect her to be quite big with a 7 week veg, but not using synthetic fertilizers will make the veg a bit slower. Time will tell.
