So past couple month made a few big orders to upgrade my collection. JB company was one, picked some more AK gear I had to have. Ended up winning their lottery, 1st place. Was going to grab the Pineapple Fields but a lot of interest from folks here on that one as it was sold out. Also, I just finished a gar of Honey Badger Haze (freebies from JB) and they had strong pineapple terps (and potent). So went with the 30 year old freezer bean and left the Pineapple fields for the runner up.
Half went in straight water the other have in water w/ Grbberellic Acid. I am not a expert by any means with this stuff, but it has worked in the past for me with old/hard seeds.
Nothing cracked in the straight water. Several in the G. Acid solution cracked after 24 hours, problem was, in my experience, should have only been in 12 hours with checking every 6. Was not able to do this and the acid make the water very nasty and stinking after 24 hours and if you don’t get then out of that solution right about the time the crack into fresh water, it tends to kill then. That’s what happened to the one that cracked, did not get them out of that solution in time and they died. Again, no expert and welcome any pointers using this stuff. Zero disappointment regarding the beans, always a learning experience.
Here is a picture of the pack and the acid. Just an FYI, this powdered acid is nasty stuff, you should wear a mask, googles and gloves when handling. Don’t breath in even the smallest amount as it is a fine dust and can get airborne easily if not handled carefully.
