Germination method was: 12 hours in RO water; then into damp paper towel in dark air-tight container on top of a slightly warm surface (router). After 2-3 days we get a tap root, then its into soil. Another couple of days then the sprout appears. I call that "Day 1" -- here's a peak:

And here's how they look on day 6:

Hi buddy!

Thank you very much for sharing a new diary with some of our strains.

Have you considered if the problem of the leaves is due to lack of calcium?

Sweet smokes,

Day 19. Things looking much better now. Both plants TOPPED today !

Some explosive growth over the past week. Day 26 and both now in flower development, and responding well to the topping.

Three days later, day 29. Black Cream's flowers are already starting to show some color. I'm not sure how tall SAD is going to get, but fearing more explosive growth, I've installed one tier of Atlas Plant Trainer stakes -- just to get them set into the pot early on.

I love the purple color of the Black Cream ....

But for some reason, I'm guided to pick SAD as the go-to plant for the competition:
