Light Saber Bag Seed Grow

Growing a single plant of Light Saber from bag seed found while smoking through the mother plant bud. Mother was an 80% Indica-dominant hybrid of 27% THC. Gave me munchies pretty good, but tended to create a more alert and energetic high. Pretty easy to smoke a lot of it without realizing it in social situations because despite the indica lean, it hits lighter mentally while giving the body a nice, pain-reducing mellowness. I have pretty bad tennis shoulder right now, so a big fan of this strain as a more active, caffeine loving stoner myself. 10/05 A little worried about Light Saber seed germination – this is only the second good seed I’ve attempted to grow, and compared to the first (Mango Sherbet), the sprouting phase is taking noticeably longer. Germination occurred sandwiched in a paper towel wet with filtered water three days ago, on 10/02. It seemed to take about two days for the seed to split and the taproot to come out (which is what happened with the other strain), but after two days there was still no sprout (compared to the other strain, which sprouted the next morning after planting). I wasn’t too worried yet, but used a pair of tweezers to brush off some of the soil and take a peek at the seed in the early afternoon. It looked a bit thick and waterlogged, but had obviously been continuing to grow the root, so I put a thin layer of dirt back on top and left it alone. Because I have patience and self control issues, I couldn’t stop myself from checking on the seedling again in the evening, but was pleased to find that the cotyledon (those first, round leaves that appear after germination) had finally appeared. They haven’t started reaching towards the light yet and are still a bit tucked into the dirt, but they’re growing and looking good so far. 10/06 Checked in on the seedling this morning, and the color on the cotyledon has darkened a bit and there was some minor shifting overnight so the leaves opened a bit more, but not quite shooting out of the ground the way I came to expect after the quick growth of my other sprout. To be fair though, with the other seed I made the mistake of accidentally leaving in the dark for 12 hours after first sprouting when I forgot to adjust the outlet timer, and as a result the sprout’s stem experienced insane growth as it went searching for a light source. Maybe since there’s a better quality and quantity of lighting this time around, the stem stretch doesn’t seem as necessary to Light Saber. Update: After getting back from work and checking in, there’s been some definite growth! You can start to see the first set of “true” marijuana leaves forming in the center. About a centimeter of stem growth that I can see, so although this is only the starting line, I’m feeling really excited about the rate of growth displayed since switching to LED.
