Started these seeds at the end of Feb in the basement under growlights, and 2 of the plants have just bloomed.

those look like they are growing really well. isn't it funny what constitutes a weed and a cultivated flower from one area to the next? my mother's father had a working ranch here in souther california and we were taught from a really young age that these plants were called vaca loco weed which is "crazy cow" because cattle would eat it and go insane and some of the ranch hands told tall tales about men they knew eating it and going insane. i think it has effects that can make you incapable of telling fantasy from reality. i don't know if this is a permanent effect or not. i always thought it was sad because they flowers were so pretty but i was never allowed to touch them and they always got plowed under with the tractor when the time came to plow the fields.

Hey Canuck, how long did it take for your datura to germinate?
I started Triple Yellow Queen, Black Swirl, White, and Metal La Fleur Lilac on 3/23. I read somewhere they can take a month to germinate? I finally put this flat on a heating mat. I also have ALOTof different salvia and tropicial stuff in the flat, so I thought the heat might help.

I think they took about 1-2 weeks. What I did do though, is put the pot into a ziploc bag for moisture.

Wow! Those look great. I'm amazed that they're blooming already.

A few days after I put my flat on the heating mat they started sprouting, right now all of my Triple Yellow Queen have popped up, just waiting for the other ones.
