I have about 20 seeds I wish I could pop. They are like 7 years old, which I got from an open pollenation of a mixed seed pack from Peak. Hard telling what might be in there. It was a baggie I found that I had randomly named T3...haha. I bought some gibberellic acid, came with no instructions or measuring spoon, and the sellers warehouse burned and making contact has been fruitless. I tried an H202 soak, and lightly sanded shells on 4 with no luck.
Sounds like you've tried a couple of things, being that old they could be tough to germ, usually a scuff will do it if they're viable :(

Sweet if it's ok as this run gets closer for me I will bug you for some info, never done it before and don't want to screw it up...........
No problem, just ring if you need any help for the first batch. Collecting the pollen is the critical stage, it's absolutely necessary to keep the pollen as dry as possible or it'll be useless or very low take.

Pulled the Panama P6 pheno 5 gal, right at 70 days, nice quick finish. Had to prop her up against the door for the photo shoot, colas are so dense they're bending down even with the trellises. A couple of small buds on her ;)

For perspective, the door is 36" wide, the door knob is 37" from the floor...

I still use the AN Grow/Micro for veg and Bloom/Micro for flowering. Typically every other watering 400-500 ppm through veg after 3 weeks or so, once they establish a decent root system. 50/50 Grow/Bloom through the stretch and then Bloom to the last week or so. That's in a 50% triple mix/50% pro-mix medium. I adjust the grow/bloom/micro mix based on the analysis on the bottle depending on what they need, but not the total ppm. Don't use a lot of it and it does what I need so haven't really had a reason to move away from AN. My baseline with this feed/watering schedule is ~ 1 oz./gallon of medium with the CMH in 5/7gal for the Blue Dream and Blue Ripper (other strains are lower yield). Anything less than that density with these 2 strains I'm attributing to recent light/cycle changes, all else being equal.
What is Triple Mix?

Pheno hunt update on the Blue Ripper F2's. out of the 13 seeds, I culled one of the original 13 which wasn't going anywhere, plus one of the four initial testers. I have PM in my area and it's always around. While I can control it with the environment I keep my veg environments in the 60's for RH, it's better and it also flushes out PM prone strains/phenos right away. One of the first things I look for in strains/phenos is their resistance to PM and have seen it enough that I can recognize the beginnings of PM. One of them had some spots on it which were looking like it so got tossed.

The rest are looking good so far. 12 of the new batch @day 9 and 3 of the original testers @day 20: Of the 3 at Day 20, the one bottom-right is looking very good, no defs or any signs of weakness, nice structure and vigorous.

Sorry for all the questions, reading the thread and I'm just past page 50. What causes the leaf twist that a few of those in the pics above have? I keep seeing it and was just wondering if it's something I'm doing wrong?

Just want to mention that I tried some more small immature Blue Pyramid buds and now I can tell that it's a potent strain for sure. It also lasts longer than most and makes the eyes feel very fuzzy. A unique thing I noticed is the thick feel of the resin, rather than a wet or greasy feel. More like a shoe polish feel. Should make good extracts.

The two analysis results I saw on analytical360 showed the major terps to be linalool, myrcene and caryphyllene, very little of the crude ones like pinene. Caryophyllene is actually a CB2 agonist and myrcene is said to potentiate THC, so it looks like a good profile. Who wants to smoke a pine tree, right?

A couple of those colas got too close to the lights if you mean the cupping of the fan leaves on the Panama P6 above. Temps have been steady and not all the colas on that one had that so it's light/heat stress on the one's that were too close to the light..

I mean if you expand the post I replied to and view the attachment. It was a bunch of seedlings during a pheno hunt.

Some of the leaves were twisted or had a ripple or wave in the margin of the leaf. I see that frequently in mine and wonder if that's normal or a sign of some issue.
