Had trouble with mine. I made the mistake of placing the plate (while trying to germinate the seeds) on top of my cable box as I had read was a method of germing.... Well, I have one of the new HD DVR cable boxes, and never realised how HOT that box gets. I only had 2 out of 5 pop. Both started out nice and green, short, bushy, and at about 6 weeks """Under 24 hr T-5 lighting""" they both grew balls! That was my expierience with them.... so far...... I still have 5 more seeds, but for time being I have plenty of Moms.........
