I just won some free 'cheese' seeds from @Gorilla Seeds. Thanks so much guys, I've never won anything like this before.
I really appreciate the opportunity to grow your awesome seeds.

I removed a couple of fan leaves to allow the light to reach the smaller bud sites.

The buds in the center of the plant are really stretching now, I'm seeing new growth every day.
She's progressing!

Thanks,
I'm hoping to end up with 4 foot long buds and a few smaller ones in the middle.
The ppfd is higher there, so the shorter buds will get decent light.
So far, so good.

More pics.
The random girl outside the dogs house, 3°c overnight, eaten by insects, still alive. Wonder if she'll survive frost... we'll see.

A new start. Zkittlez.
Well that was a bummer. Was that a regular seed that turned hermie?

So I just want to share what I'm doing to start the seed.
First, I put some tepid, filtered water in a small container and dropped the seed in.
Then I dug up some soil from one of the outdoor pots and put it in a small pot. It's chokka-block full of worms, dark and crumbly, just beautiful. Smells good too.
The seed and the soil are sitting on top of the fridge, it's the beginning of winter so I want to keep them warm.
IF the seed germination is successful I'll transfer it to the small pot and bring it to the tent.
I dug a hole, and sat the same size pot in there, so it holds the shape as I put the soil back. When I want to transfer the seedling, I just remove the empty pot, and it fits perfectly.
Then I spread some diatomaceous earth around, in case of any unwanted guests.
Now we wait...

It's from the last outdoor grow, it only had a few seeds and I threw a couple of them in a pot outside. I didn't expect them to germinate at this time of year, and since I had no other plants going I thought I'd try growing it.
The plant it came from was bagseed so I have no idea of its heritage. The hermaphrodite tendency is most likely a genetic trait that rears its ugly head once in a while. That's the gamble with bagseed. I rolled and lost
Something that I have included in my germination routine over the past couple of years, is to include a little H2O2 in the soaking phase. I think this is good to kill off any mould spores and bacteria that may be clinging to the surface of the seed. On my recent grow where I purposely made some selective pollinations, there can be areas in the buds that get a bit of caterpillar damage and then a bit of mould growth occurring, so the spores could end up contacting the seeds. Anyway, for it's worth, I feel it helps.

Yeah baby, we have life
Just short of 24hrs and she's cracked open.
I put the seed in the soil about 3/8 inch deep (around 10mm). Then I watered the soil to help her settle in to her new digs, and now I'm waiting again. Hopefully she'll pop up in a few days.

If I'm not mistaken (I have been before), I think I see something trying to break the surface of the soil.

I'm not sure if I'm seeing insect damage, or if it's damage from trying to get out of the seed, whatever it is, I went crazy with the diatomaceous earth, just in case. Any creepy crawlers will be eviscerated.
It's only on the cotyledons, so I'll just keep an eye on it for now.
I notice she's very delicate compared to other seedlings I've grown, but she has a strong stem and isn't spindly or stretching too much.
Apart from the cotyledon damage, she seems happy enough.
