So the fruit punch pictured above is now 7 weeks old from seed. I also have a Barney's liberty haze germed at the same time. Two weeks ago I germed one more of both fruit punch and liberty haze, as well as two free seeds, regular skunk x Kerala. All pictured in three gal pots. This is my first grow and am impressed with the fluidity of everything so far. Please pass along any advice, aside from turning my lights off when taking photos!

Hey there people.
I ordered 5 heavyweight fruit punch fem and a bunch of others from herbies on the 18-jan-2014 and received them on the 22-jan-14.
Was impressed at the speed as i live in new zealand.
I decided I would only use 2 at the moment and save 3 for later in the year. Using tissue paper and water i germinated on a plate in the dark temp around 24[FONT=arial, sans-serif]°c for 2 days until there roots were about 15 mm.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, sans-serif]Transplanted into seed raising mix let them start and get rid of there shell.
First pictuer of one them 9- feb-2014 [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, sans-serif]
This one was by far bigger at the start and i really have only taken pictures of her.
next is 13-feb-2014 has grown a lot in few days. she is middle plant [/FONT]
I transplanted into soil used for strawberrys and bigger pot.
[FONT=arial, sans-serif]
Now only just taken some more pics today 20-feb-14 and here they are [/FONT]

I'll keep people updated, time to change pot size again i grow my plants in veg until they are about 800mm to 1200mm using no ferts just rain water 1 x 400 M/H during night time for 9 hours and during the day they stay out side to use the suns rays.
This will be a mother for clones. when she is about a metre Ill be able to cut 30-50 clones per week. Ive used this simple veg method for years and it works great.

I germ rough compared to what ive read others do but ive had 100% sucsess from all herbies seeds, i use 2 x plys of toilet paper or 1 x ply handytowel paper on a plate with water soaked through, i place seeds then layer another handy towel paper over top and wet. leave in dark warm place for a day or 2, checking only to make sure its wet still, i dont check seeds till 48 hours normally then if sprouted i place in seed raising mix about 5 mm from top of soil, with its little root sprout facing down.
i can germ one and take pics if you want?

Got it. Thanks. I just switch my cycle on Monday. I use vertical lighting, so I'm interested in comparing the looks.

Germinated 4 seeds Heavyweight fruit punch on 3/17 to grow under 400w MH/HPS. So i'm very interested to follow (revive) this thread.
