I germinated the seed in a wet paper towel inside a ziploc bag for 48 hours before planting it. The germinator box keeps the temp at around 26 degrees C.
@Ganja4Show,
Yes, those balls have to be removed unless you want seeds in the buds. Once a plant has started to hermie, it is likely to keep making pollen sacks. I have to keep checking this girl for balls until end of flowering...
@Psilocubensis, you're right. She has some issues. I'm giving her the same mute mix as my plants in the tent. She doesn't like it very much, and I'll have to adjust it a bit. She's only getting a little bit of direct sunlight in that window unfortunately.
