How is everyone storing their seeds? My plan is a dark container in the fridge. Just got good news, they were supposed to be here tomorrow but are showing up today. Very impressed with JBC if anyone is on the fence about them

I do long term storage for mine... I put them in a ziplock baggy then put the baggy in a glass jar filled with a color-changing desiccant (turns a different color if exposed/saturated with moisture). After that, I throw em in the freezer and pull them out whenever I need em.

I finally popped some Useful seeds around the full moon. Sour Strawberry Gelato was one of the first Useful packs I picked up, and coincidentally was one that was calling to me as I was gearing up for this round. My initial plan was to pop 3 seeds each of these and 3 other strains. All 3 of the Sour Strawberry Gelato seeds popped while getting soaked, but only one of them handled the transfer to soil well at all. One of them burrowed the wrong way and ended up getting the tap root dried out before I saw it. Another stalled out and didn't make it. The third is a bit of a mutant. The cotyledons are both facing the same direction and it took a bit for the first real serrated leaves to pop out. It also appears that it has another set of serrated leaves coming in around the soil line...definitely something I haven't seen before. Still waiting to see whether this one's going to straighten out its act or if it will be culled.

Since I really wanted to see what I could find in this pack I ended up soaking 2 more seeds, which popped and sprouted out of the soil as normal as could be.

I'll definitely post pics & updates as they develop.

Now that is the question! S1 seeds off the 91 seem to be unstable but the best deal on those would probably be shoreline genetics. Lucky dog has what amounts to a bx and is throwing some killer phenos in dog patch but those have stayed sold out for about a year or so. There’s others out there with various results. Lucky dog stardog, chem de la chem, i95 or nyc chem all great chem line options.
Personally I like D better, useful here has several crosses with the D. If I were to recommend one I have tried and has expressions in that being his chem cookie trip. I really think that D crossed to chocolate diesel is probably pretty amazing also.

I also store seeds like this but I am concerned with taking them out for 5 minutes considering condensation and temperature change. Wish I had a deep freeze.

I have very been busy, but I see our thread is moving right along !!! Early this week I heard on our local oldies station that the food bank was running low on supplies. So I put some packs up for auction on IG and called it a pay it forward auction . This guy came in strong with a bid of 200 and won !!! So I went to the food bank and asked them what they needed. They told me and I went and got it. I added some $$ to the 200 from the auction and was able to get 168 cans of soup and 180 cans of assorted cans of vegetables, 348 cans of food total. I don't know a bunch of folks on IG like I do here, so I promised that I would post a cool pic on IG to show that I was on the up and up.

I know a bunch of you regulars here know what i'm all about, and that I have no need to provide proof that I try my best to be as "useful" as I can as I move along/move forward. But I see a bunch of new folks on the page and just want to let them know that my slogan (Spread the Love) is a way of life, and not just a catchy slogan.

Ehhh unless they thaw out (takes more than 5 minutes), and unless its a SUPER humid day; they should be fine... Plus, you're putting them back into a desiccator so all that additional moisture is gonna be sucked up by that. So I wouldn't worry to much about pulling beans out to pop em. If anything, try to keep it under like 5-10 min and you shouldn't have any issues...
