[quote=Ramsthepharoah;7773198]I am now at day 11 from date of soaking and at day 8 of them being sprouted above soil level. I'm very excited to see the true leaves forming and simply cannot wait (though I have to) for them to start vigorously vegging. Is it normal for the stems to be this purple though?? A little purpling is quite common in my experience, but the stems are completely purple...(if only that translated to purple nugs)
Peace

I just sprouted some f2s gifted from another member here. I ll be following along but will probably move a little slower than you.

I'm along for the ride and actually just behind you Picarus. Have a couple of Malawis one day into (hopefully) germination.
Good luck to all of us!

This is great!! Hopefully we can share and compare on our journeys. Glad to be in communication with people growing the same genetics!!

Thanks for welcoming us along for the journey!
I grew a Malawi outside in organic soil last Summer and was very impressed with how hardy she was. Despite a late start, a hurricane, lack of sunshine, and numerous grower errors.....she survived until the first week of December (15 weeks).
Looks as though my two Malawis have germinated (72 hrs) and their little heads are popping up. Left side - bottom and middle
Hopefully this pic actually shows

Are these girls you just sprouted going outside??

[Old Toker]

Nope. I live on a couple of wooded acres in the SE USA. I tried growing outside but the trees really limited the direct sunlight. Combine that with high humidity and I struggled to combat disease. Also my wife was always worried someone would stumble across the grow while walking in the woods....so she preferred that I grow inside the garage. And here I am... ready to try my first indoor coco grow.

My grow space is a 60"x60"x80" tent. Will be attempting a vertical grow with a 860w CDM bulb. I figure I can grow about 7 plants if I keep the containers small (I'm using 2 gal fabric pots) and don't let them veg too long. Will use a trellis system along the walls to hopefully keep them from completely taking over the grow space.

Still had some fem seeds left from the experiment outside, so I popped 2 of each hoping that I could get at least 6 or 7 through veg. Naturally I have a soft spot for the Malawis. The one outside was my first grow ever.....and despite all the adversity she managed to survive mother nature and my clumsy attempts at growing.....and STILL produce some excellent smoke. Here is what I have germed:
2 Malawi fems
2 Golden Tiger fems
2 Zimadelica fems
2 Panama Haze fems
So far all have popped out except one PH.
Will veg (this time) in the tent under a 300w LED grow light.
Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm excited about this new grow.....I hope you are also.

That's crazy!! I just ordered a 60x60x80. But I'll be flowering under a 600W HPS though. I bought 2 online fans one to cool the 600W so I can get a bit closer to the plants and one for venting out stale air and humidity. You have some serious sativas there. Going to be interesting to see how much space they use up!! Good luck SIR!! I have 2 malawis only. I'm going to keep topping and try to fill my space with 2 medium height bushed out girls!!
