Was a little stunned today when I noticed one of my salvia seeds had come to life. She's extremely tiny but seems healthy so far. At least she's strong enough to push upwards with that bit of soil still hanging on.

Sorry for the poor quality photo. [removing poor quality photo]

The color from your LED light makes it tough to see the seedling, but I am pretty sure I see it. In any event, congrats! I was pumped to see that one of mine had sprouted today as well. Looks like our babies have the same birthday!

Keep us updated!

Nice, and congratulations, its good to see so many seeds sprouting up around the world. Take care of that little baby and before you know it you'll have a ton of it!

As mjb stated, keep us updated!

Some better pictures of my little Salvia Divinorum plant. These were taken yesterday.

In one of them you can also see a bonus, second-flush Golden Teacher growing in her bag.

She's getting taller!

It's really great to see so many salvia seedling pictures. There aren't very many, I assume due to the rarity of grows from seed. Anyway, keep it up!

Also, very jelly about the Golden Teachers. Can't wait to grow some shrooms myself, but right now my setting would be pretty lousy for mushy trips. Have you grown any other varieties?

Looks like the plant might need a tiny bit more light? Would be a shame to lose the little thing to stem rot as a side effect of etiolation.

I wondered this as well but wasn't sure it applied in the same manner it applies to cannabis. Still on my first salvia grow myself. Good to get confirmation.

I know sapphire posted a previous picture of the seedling beneath a blurple LED light of some sort. I wonder if this stretchiness is due to the distance of the light from the seedling, or from a lack of some wavelength not provided by that particular LED fixture.

Thanks for the help! I started this gardening hobby about 6 weeks ago and didn't even perceive anything worrisome about her growth/shape. Moved her to a western-facing windowsill.

How is she doing in the windowsill, sapphire?

Thanks for asking! She was in the windowsill until 2 days ago and now lives outside on a porch. Seems to be doing well but change is slow. I've been really enjoying your thread; thanks so much for taking the time to document so carefully.

Here come the first true leaves! Glad to see she is hanging in there. Hopefully she finds the porch agreeable and continues to flourish. It is strange to look at those tiny first leaves and think that one day you might go on an amazing journey by consuming them.

I have enjoyed documenting my grow. I assume someone will find it useful, if for no other reason than gauging progress. These little seedlings sure don't get into a hurry, do they? It is also nice to get some high-res photos of seedlings, since we see so few. Look at me actually being useful for once.

Just an update with how she looks today. Still seems healthy and growing.

I was a couple more days from inquiring!
Glad to see her growing up healthy! Nice job and thanks for the update.

Latest Salvia pictures. She continues to grow at her own pace.

Are those larger ones in the last photo matured?

Glad to see the baby is doing well, sapphire! Thanks for the update.

The other two plants look nice and healthy. Those are from cuttings?

Hi MasonJarBong and Naut,

I received those other 2 salvia plants as just-rooted cuttings about 8 weeks ago. I don't think they're fully mature yet but I'm honestly not an expert on what to expect.

Very nice salvia seedling sapphire

Thanks! I've now re-potted and moved her outside.

Those cuttings are pretty super also

If I can't get ahold of seeds then I think a cutting will be the next step. Love threads like this, gets ya exctied.
