I truly believe DR is just selling off old stock anyone be a fool to go with him now. I spent lots of funds with him late 90s early 20s his endless sky was killer back then. Bought a couple pacs of gold mine when they first came out few yrs ago not a keeper there just regs grassy earthy.

I have his stuff I purchased in 2006 (who knows when it was made) and it still germinates. Why would GG4 that is only a year or 3 old not germinate because it's too "old"? This old stock theory doesn't make sense. If he has lower germ rates than before, it must be some other factor.
You don't have to buy his stuff but I just don't see this as a possibility.

And, my brother and I just did a small run of Goldmine outdoors this past summer. I put it out late. July 23rd if memory serves (I can check my calendar) and it was flowering within 7 days and finished by the end of September. It's certainly is not as dense as today's standards but it tasted like pure pine/skunk and was very strong. I'll post some pictures later.

Interesting.In all the packs I've got from him over the years, I only had one that had immature seeds in it. That was his Millennium Bud that I got around 2008.

I've checked the guy's site many times but never ordered. Seen some serious drama on Seedfinder but have no personal exp. Even remember his ads in High Times 25yrs ago.Closest thing I've got is a pk of seeds from OregonGreenSeed called Bubba/Mastodon (BKelitecutxMastodon(VanKushxEndSky)

Seeds def look like they been hanging around a bit. No fresh tiger stripes. All the molting is history. If they have been stored properly they may pop. Hopefully not sol. Be back in three days to report. If they arent up in three, I will try another three. One of the beans was semi cracked open before soaking so not so good.:o

I had the same experience. The seeds were the most immature I've had. Didn't expect many (if any) to germ. More than half did (can't recall exact numbers). Had 2 different strains, about 5 years back.

Happy to report with some coaxing, they are all popped. So, thumbs up for actually delivering my goods, answered all emails. I would probably do a refresh of the beans so there is fresher stuff available for people. overall, i am glad they popped and didnt get screwed on that front. Not sure what they will grow into till some time passes. stay tuned.

I hear ya on that. Throw a date on the beans so you know when they are getting too old.
