Heh, I tried to germinate some of those seedboutique.com freebie seeds, but they appeared to all fail. So I gave up on them and went with the real non-freebie seeds. But I inadvertently forgot one of the freebie seeds and left it in the plug when I put the non-freebie seed in there too. Then they BOTH germinated, and out popped a two-headed plant. Took me a bit to figure that one out!

I cut off the non-freebie seed's head and killed it, and six months later, I still have that one plant from the freebie seeds (Durban Poison x Skunk #1). I just put it into flowering a couple of days ago. It's super healthy and huge. All told, it took like a week for that seed to germinate successfully. There's nothing wrong with the plant itself, so I guess sometimes it just takes a while. That WAS longer than I'd ever seen a seed take before though (which is why I'd given up on it originally).
