looking very good...please continue to post pics. i am curious to see your results with seeds straight from the Dam. i am currently in the middle of grow #2 in soiless mix (1/3 peat, 1/3 perlite, 1/3 vermiculite) and the perlite does get brown after watering. it's very normal. as for your deformed leaf, i actually had one too with this grow and i have no idea what it is. i could not find much in the grow bible or any of my other books about it, at first i was thinking the plant might be a hermie, i just went to 12/12 last friday so we will soon find out.

anyway, congrats on getting some seeds home from the Dam, hope you had a great trip...i am counting the days until I get back to that place!
