Soaked for 24hrs in filtered water with a bit of hydrogen peroxide added to it. Both seeds showed signs of splitting so placed in soil. Both seeds came up within 36hrs from going in the dirt.
Lights at 40% and about 2ft away.
They started putting on some size this week. Lights at 60% power. Had a bit of a lean on one sprout so I had to prop it up.

Still at the manual top watering stage. I underestimated how much better the auto pots would be at retaining water. In the future I will go a bit lighter with the initial watering in.
Turned on the auto pot system last week. Growth has really exploded. I've topped once and defoliated just a few leaves off each plant to improve air flow. Lights were increased to 80% on week three but backed off to 60% after the other plants (purple punch) in the tent showed signs of light stress.
Small preflowers set well and the stretch really set in. I honestly was expecting somewhat shorter plants compared to my last grow.
My lights need to fairly close (12") to get a decent PPFD. I didn't check the plants for a long weekend and they grew about 8" in 2.5 days. Nearly touching the lights before I got them raised again.
Looks like most of the stretch has stopped for both plants. There appear to be two slightly different phenos with one slightly taller than the other. The shorter one seems slightly further along with a bit more flower development and some frost starting to show.
I've done a couple rounds of defoliation to get some better air flow and light to bud sites. I also went through and pinched off most of the lower bud sites that were not going to get sufficient light to develop.
The taller one is starting to fill in and frost up. I got my lights adjusted up to give a bit more room. Some fade/yellowing is starting to show on lower leaves.
The shorter plant continues to frost up with the buds starting to show signs of swelling now. Looks like it will be dense nugs but perhaps a bit high on the bud to leaf ratio. Some yellowing on bottom leaves.
Both plants had some light defoliation done to clean up the lowers and remove leaves blocking bud sites.
