1 out of 5 actually made it.
This one started out looking mutated but suddenly started making its fan leaves and now the main stalk is showing internodal growth.View attachment 5304120View attachment 5304118
Nice ive had luck with seeds about that age i suppose its hard to be exact on time frame with old bagseeed etc but i find lots of em start off weird then like yours then grow out of it ime or some just are non starters to begin with still regardless good old stocks nice to have around

How'd you store them? Some Big Bud crosses I have that are 12-13 yrs old stored in my sock drawer only have about 4% success rate.

Got them from a guy in Colorado that had a big grow op. He kept the seeds and I got 3 different strains. I tried popping 5 seeds of each strain. If they cracked the tap root came out stopped growing or was mushy white goo except 2 Purple Thunders germinated came up but then stopped growing. Pulled it out the peat and bottom of root was brown.

I used the sandpaper method and Hydrogen Peroxide water solution to soak.

Week 6 of flower now

Temps 70F to 77F
Humidity 50%
27" tall
Nutes 1000ppm

She is doing alright. I'm still getting brown spots on the fan leaves. I've given her Calmag a couple times. I'm giving her good Fish nutes as well. I'm not familiar with Big Buds Calcium demand. I know the strain gets fatass nugs so I'm assuming it needs lots of K and Ca.


I'm not expecting a big yield cause the experimental grow tent is using only 2 - 110W LEDs. Eventually im going to buy a 2X4 LED that's like 300W or 400W.
