I got Chocolate Trip F4 as a freebie attached to packs of (Chocolate Diesel x Chocolate Trip F3). I just shucked a small batch of Chocolate Trip F5 and might be able to save you a lot of work.

I would love to trade in on some of those, been chasing that one, missed it from Bodhi, got the Useful crosses and stoked to run them and will probably grab more next pay check, but I would still like to work the CT itself, love me some Thai! Your grows always look really healthy too, had me drooling over your run of fruity pebbles OG, can't wait for that release.
Best,

I am 100% sure that Schwaggy P is just going to gift them Chocolate Trips to ya. He is an amazing critter fer sure. He is actually a close personal friend of mine. That guy has a heart of gold.

With that said, there have been soooo many amazing people that have popped in on my lil thread, purchased my seeds,gave them a spot in their garden. I actually wanted to call you all out by name...but I can't...there are so many of you...lol. All I can say is I appreciate the support from the bottom of my heart.

Happy New Year!!! I have a bunch of things in the works, 2019 will be a good year.
Thank you for the kind words brother. Just doing my part to spread the love, you've set quite the example!

Thanks for the compliment, I try :smile:. I think I can part with a few more of the F5.

If ever you happen to have an extra bean or two of CT F5's....I'd be willing. :mrgreen: @Schwaggy P.
I may have an extra bean or two ;-).

Curious if anyone else has popped the dream cookies freebies recently?

Mine are not popping. 0/5. 3 days in water now. No splitting etc. not a huge deal.

Had zero issues with the Choc Diesel x fire cookies. They are looking good and popped quickly.
just curious did you get these at christmass or there abouts?

I’ve had those freebies (came staples to something, can’t remeber now) for some time. Might have to dig them out of the back of the fridge and find out.

Some of my seeds seem to have a thicker shell. It is not an error on your part fer sure. I know that 99.9% of you know how to germinate a seed. So I will not go down the road of grower error...lol.

I know you state no biggie because it was a freebie, but It is a big deal to me because I do my best to make sure the freebies are as good as what ya purchased.

If they don't sprout for ya...message me and I will get ya squared away.

Also glad to hear you had zero issues with the Choc D x Fire Cookies....same room as the Dream Cookies.

3 days in water is too long, they can drown. I've had the best success with thick shelled seeds by making a little sandpaper tube shaking the seeds in it for a few minutes, then soak in a bottle of water with a teaspoon of peroxide for 30 min then into damp paper towels from there. works great for really old seeds too. I had a Ouzbekistan land race that took me over 14 days to crack and they where fresh seeds, finally after I did the above along with taking fingernail clippers and clipping the seed nub off I got em to go, ended up with 9 out of 10 and if I had done the procedure to start with I would have gotten 10 out of 10. I sprout all my seeds that way now (except for the nub clip unless needed). Not saying it's the best way, just what works for me and gives me close to 100% germ rate.

useful is correct in this case. i'll leave it at that.
you can "drown" them but usually not till the cotyledon show. the risk of water too long is rot. if they are firm, which i bet they are in this gentleman's case, they are likely not effected by being in the water too long.
the trick here with the harder thicker shell is gong to be sprouting them without rot or ruining the inside trying to help it along by cracking the shell manually or using an emory board to scuff it

i meant to add to this originally.
don't go 3 days with same water if poss. or at min shake it to aerate it. stagnant water has bacteria and shit. i change the water every 24 hours if t goes that long

i was always scared to do that as routine because i never had issues sprouting really so why risk it i thought, but i saw those and i agree it would come in handy when this happens lol.
Same here, the sand tube and the nub clip (only had to do that once) is as far as I go, never needed to, I do have friends that have hand cracked them and fished out the start with tweezers, not me. I should have said rot not drown as you said, just not a fan of soaking seeds in water. But I am a fan of what works best for whoever.
