As Chef Dean has pointed out, I love those Indica family dews.
My latest mad-scientist endeavor is germinating some of them in warmer conditions, 80-83 F and the results are not too bad.
I fill test tubes mostly full with distilled water and pop in some seeds.
They sit under grow lights with temperatures a little warmer than room temperature.
After they germinate, I pot them up and treat them as normal plants.
Here are some bad photos of D. finlaysoniana and D. hartmeyerorum after less than 3 weeks.
With a little luck, I should be able to get a few seeds from these and recomplete the circle, donating them back to the seed bank.
If anyone is curious, use the Forum Search Tool and search for "Water Germination Experiment ".
