"Bulbs came with growth already, just a little sprout. I did the buy 2 get 1 for free deal. Super worth it. They are growing like crazy, already 1-2 inch growth coming out of bulb after a week and a half. For the price and the fact that none of the bulbs are not duds, this is a good deal.
3 Month update:
All bulbs are full blown plants with over 7 leaves each. The leaves stay bushy if you provide high enough lighting and all the leaves are a gorgeous bright red with no CO2. The leaves are about half the size of my hand and some at the surface are just as big as my hand!"
