Old Seeds

Anybody got any advice on how to germinate old seeds?

Try germinating them and see what happens.

same way you would germ fresh seeds give them a light squeeze make sure they aren't all dried out

What's up rob, how ya doin today buddy! I'mma just put it out there......... I bought the seed back in 2001 @ the Cannibs Cup. Am I waisting my time?

yea squeeze them see if they crack i have seeds from 8 years ago tha still germ then again i keep them in vac sealed bags so...

Hell try it . If they dont pop then you've only lost alittle time.

I just started the germination yesterday......... how long do I wait before I say F it? I noticed the seeds got a lil dark, is that a good or bad sign?

Give it a week and see what happens

Yeah, but i wanna try somethin different than bag seeds! Since I made it this far, I figured i'd try some strains that are a lil different and then see how i make out! And what's up with using a lil bleach? I've heard that before...... but it don't sound too cool!

I wouldnt use any bleach . I have a strain that came from Vietnam back in the early 70s . I got then from an old stoner that had them in his freezer . Dated back to his last grow in 1999 . I got a few to pop and have been 90% female . So IMO old seeds well pop.

Hot Damn....that's all the motivation I needed right there!

So when I squeeze the seed, if it pops? is that good or bad?

Also, I am noticing maybe like 6 or 7 pistils growing out of 1 calyax! is that a good or bad sign?

dont squeeze , just soak them for a couple hours then use a damp paper towel and a cd case . put it on top of you dvd player and check it everyday. dont let it dry out . In a couple days they should gem and you can plant

10-4 greendude! thank you!

Np glad I could help

By the way greendude, I've be using an old direct tv reciever as a heating pad. I'm glad that using my head is helping me make smart decisions. I wasn't sure how good an idea it was till you just told me that. Have you seen my setup?

in the grow FAQ how can i tell if my bag seed are healthy(gently squeeze if they are dry and crumbely ...ect,ect..) how about that...Rob

Thanks Rob, I'mma stop BS'n and fully read the FAQ!

its got so much info you'll be glad you did
