Not sure how long it will keep, but have seen folks on here which have no reason to bs say a few years if kept dry. Mine is a year old. Will let you know soon on seeds whether its still viable :). Those worms look the biz, good

Interesting.
With potent breeding stock coming from that pollen?
Ill ask my breeder buddy what his problem is, haha
Tell him organic has more viability haha

Speaking of organic, here's the new soil under a combo of lights producing some incredible results..peep the sheen on the normally sensitive SLCh image.jpg

Heres a few. I have the selection of a seedbank ;)

That is an excellent selection. I agree with the variety approach. I have upwards of 15 strains of dried bud I have grown since I started again October. I don't know exactly how many strains I have currently sprouted and in various stages of growth. You and the Don's(es) grows and lists of plants always make me sprout more seeds and I end up barely fitting them all in three growing spots indoors. I have so many seeds but you guys make me want to buy more different seeds. We get a great selection of clones and seeds here in the San Francisco CA Bay Area, which is like an MMJ Holy Land even if the state isn't legal. It is defacto legal with a card.

Likewise on making me sprout more @oldbikepunk @DonTesla @DonPetro; I really do enjoy having a huge variety. There are a few more people in the outdoor section which also have that effect on me :) @papapayne @Dr.D81. I am the same when I hear about new beans. I have a ton, but I would like a few tons more ;).

DonTesla made a comment a few pages back below which I will be down with when its more "feasible" across international borders:

If Only everyone had 30 varieties in their medicine cabinet!
One for every morning

An organic club, a trading co-op..

That'd be heaven though, imagine
Open your monthly package ..
2 grams each of 30 different kinds .. All organic fire loaded with resin

Donate your 180 grams every three months or pay the fee, up to you, and get to try a couple grams of 90 kinds in return..

Good on you to only try and pollinate with one male for the first go. Thats how i would do it too. Then you know there is no cross-pollination. Cool stuff. I want testers of all of them.

I use one male at a time as well to be sure the seeds are what i intended, and any other seeds are the occasional hermies. I don't pollinate any plants once they are inside the 1,000 watt bloom-room, also to help determine that a seed was a hermie or on a plant next to one i saw hermie and is thus a different cross. I got some 9 Lb Hammer x The True OG seeds recently that way. I currently have a male Dr Who which resides in a closet with about 8 different plants, clones, and a favorite Deep Purple. The Dr Who will pollinate any pre-flowers on any of 30+ plants that will cycle through that 400 watt chamber until i stop indoor growing in May when it's too hot and complicated. I'll keep clones of favorites alive and start over indoors again in Fall. Freaky seeds from crosses are really awesome.

Nice man. She is beautiful. No different than utilizing an older bean to get stock from imo (on the pollen), but I am no expert by any means.

Good point !

Tho I have had some issues with older seeds, myself anyway..

Some of the most insane potency ever witnessed in our lives came from that heirloom stock, though..

Just getting thru a weathered shell was the main challenge.. Must have had some swings in temps and Rh

I yanked 5 (1 24k, 3 Dr Who, & 1 Gage Good Ideas) of the 30 seedlings I started few weeks back and started 5x Aloha Grape Stompers today in their place today. Still got some males in play it seems though, just due to bolting/fast starts imo.

Yeah, jus Rockin the 10 cobs, G
Hard to believe how little lights can do big tings
UPDATE
MID FLOWER

Soil comparisons aside, the preferred spectrum has shifted it seems, although all growth seems robust and frosty already.

I used to have to rotate the ladies out from underneath the 3500k light every 48 hours it was so powerful. Was doing 20" height, too. They'd still seem to get tired a bit.

For early veg, tho, the 35k light was insane, hands down the go to light for seedling speed and size
Then the 4000k's took over a few weeks in, and really amazed us til early flower..
They packed the frost super quickly (day 6, wtf) while keeping the leaves dark and metabolizing well.

Now the spectrum seemingly preferred is the redder 3500k
No need to rotate. Infact it seems to be the best light now for them.
Constant growth and efficient metabolism
Sheen is sexy.
Wow.
What a fun run this is..

Here's Day 30 shots of one of the Silver TrainWrecks got me like Woahimage.jpg

This all-organic bud is already frostier than your average Canadian Windshield ..
