My dad's old stash has a few seeds. This stash has been in our freezer for nearly 30 yrs wrapped in foil. I'm gonna germinate the seeds tonight and hope for the best!

Anybody have any thoughts on seeds this old?

Man you may have some diamonds on your hands! Could be some lost strains or something who knows? I'd do a grow journal if I were you.

I have a good germination rate using the following method.

I store them in the freezer (already done for you) and next place them in a glass of ph balanced water for about 24 hours. I then use the 'paper towel' method and it works pretty damn good. I have some old seeds from a friend (not from freakin '78 tho!), she kinda collects seeds, and they have germinated for me.

Good luck

Wow, are you for real or just fucking around? Who keeps weed in their freezer for 30 fucking years! Well, shit...Good luck with that, man. I have no idea if they would germ but I'm guessing no.

There is a doomsday seed-bank up near the north pole. It has all kinds of seeds in freezers buried below the permafrost, in case of an eco-catastrophe. Supposedly, they will last damn near for ever if kept cold and dry.

Good luck.

Well, I guess it was my dad's last stash he ever bought before he got married and just couldn't let go

We've moved around a few times and each and every move, that little piece of foil never gets left behind or thrown away...

Gonnd hope for the best here!

I'm germinating 3 seeds right now using the paper towel method where I've had 100% success rate so far. Hoping....

Dude this is going to be cool. I'm going to try to save some seeds for the next 30 years. Plant them when I'm 50. Fuck yessss, this is going to be tight. I can't wait....Damn 30 years is a long time:evil:

I got some WWxBB I cross-bred...I got enough of these that putting ten away won't matter. I probably won't remember but it's a cool idea.

If you keep then in your ass, they will for sure germinate in 30 years.

Give it a try and post results in 2038.:confused:
