Hi, i used to grow photoperiod strain for about 8 years now and after a year of pause decided to grow some for my own pleasure. Alway wanted to grow purple strain and after a week or 2 of search i finally came into this strain. It seemed to have high rate of success in turning purple so decided to give a try! I ordered 3 seeds and they got here really fast! Original breeders packages and well preserved into a little plastic flask/container. The only disappointment was that the seeds seemed pretty small and light colored like i wasnt sure if they were going to germ strong. Wanting to put all chance of my side Because i usually clone plants and only germed seeds like 3 time in my life i tried 2 technique... The paper towel and the glass of water. Surprisingly 3 seeds of 4 (4 because of the freebies) germed but with very small root... still i was happy! So i putted them in their growing medium. After years of trying different medium as i usually grow in soil i got to this very simple way. I buy package of Plastic "shots" cup wich i drill hole in the bottom then i take my standard soil and tamise it to get the finest soil material for more aeration and draining then fill the "shooters" with and place the germ in. It gone pretty well but at end i lost 1 due to manipulation (i think i broke the root). ---Used T5 LightStick 24w--- for the germing process. . . Blue spectrum is the best for root ...
