This year, I started my seeds in the greenhouse without any use of lighting or additional heat. *GASP!* Yeah, really! I normally would start them under lights (like this<\/a>), but I ended up with about 150 or so different crosses that I’m germinating this year. Germination just took a little longer that I was used to.<\/p>\n

I only had about 30 crosses of my own that actually took and set seed last year. Yeah, only 30 because of this >FUGLY-ness<<\/a> a year ago.\u00a0 Yo, it’s crazy to think that I was in THAT<\/em> mess a year ago…\u00a0 That said, many other friends sent me their own seeds that I’m growing out now. (Thanks again, y’all!)<\/p>\n

Under lights, and with the addition of heat I’ve had seeds germinate in little as one week. I didn’t feel like dealing with any lights this year so I decided to germinate the seeds under my existing conditions.\u00a0 I started the seeds a bit later in the year when it was warmer. It took roughly 5-6 weeks before I saw any signs of life, but I’m glad to report – they’re alive! THEY’RE ALIVE! Muahhaehah<\/em>!!\u00a0 There’s a lot more interesting-ness that will be coming out of this 2012-2013 generation, but for now – here are a couple AF crosses I’m excited to grow out! (D’aww, aren’t they cute?!)<\/p>\n
