I put two Gold Leaf seeds in warm bottled water and put on a germination mat for 48 hours. One seed sank and the other floated...but both of them popped within 24 hours. I planted the seeds in small pots and sprayed them to keep moist. Both sprouted 48 hours after planting. These two plants will share a 4x4 tent with a Big Bud and an Amnesia Haze....and a Chocolope if it ever sprouts
