Just got mine today. They look great. A tad bit wilted but they just took a long journey from E. coast to W. coast. (HA! maybe that's why they picked that name?) Last year I didn't put them under any special lighting. I just put them out in the sun for a while then brought them back in overnight. I used seaweed extract in the beginning because they recommend it and I happened to have some here. Also, CCN's packaging is awesome! Even if UPS tossed the box around they'd probably still be in good condition......
