...also, why did Madre Azul sell out everywhere so fast
something about the blueberry lotus? dunno
I noticed that once Black Triangle and Blueberry Hashplant was available (I think from what I saw about 50 packs each were up at both JBC and Great Lakes when they dropped).. and those flew off the shelf the fastest. I was there at the start of both drops so luckily I managed to snatch 1 Pack of each.. I was more excited about the Banana OG x 88G13HP so I snatched 2 of those. I have an old pack of Black Triangle that's about 10 years old that I still haven't tried to crack yet.. I'm just getting around to these Blackberry Lotus from 2011 that are vegging now.

I should have some nice Twin Flame and Kodama shots I'll post up here sometime this weekend when I get around to it.

You have seeds you did not get to in 10 years but still buy new ones???

I had brain surgery followed by septic infection and shock.. and took an almost 10 year long break.. I attempted a grow in 2015 but that's when I had the surgery and my plants were literally 6 weeks in flower when I was hospitalized. I was in the hospital for 3 months+ following that incident and I nearly died.. it took a long time to recover. My seeds from 2006 through 2012 are pretty old but I'm getting okay germ rates considering now that Ive got a new routine for old ass seeds.

& yes I am still buying new seeds because marijuana became legal here just recently and when I do start a grow at my own place.. I don't plan on hiding it. I've got some Mothers Milk, Black Triangle, Dank Sinatra, Tranquil Elephantizer, Lotus Larry, Pagoda, Blackberry Lotus, Dream Lotus, A11Gf3, all kinds of shit I never got to run.. Because I couldn't then. Couldn't physically and the legal ramifications were there and I have kids so that made it even harder.. now however I don't have those issues.

I have a place across town where I have a small operation at my buddies. I taught him everything I know and we have about 10 plants currently in bloom. I check them out every couple of days and we should have a harvest soon.. I'll have some bloom shots soon. Got some Kodama, Twin Flame, Apollo 13.. some nice strains. In Veg I have Blackberry Lotus now.. some over there and some here under a small LED light. I'm sending in leaf samples for male/female genetic testing next week on those. Trying to isolate the males for f2s.

Ohh I see. Glad to hear you are better.
What is your new routine on germing old seeds?

Ditto on both of these.

Your story sounds like quite an ordeal—one that I imagine would change your perspective on life. Growing plants in general is (besides hard work) therapy for me. I’m glad you’ve been able to return to it.

Im also curious about how you germinate seeds that old. Personally I soak poorly treated seeds of all kinds in a solution with just a smidgen of recharge for the humic acid and giberellic acid (kelp) content—but I love learning new knowledge and methods from others.

so that leaves
88g13hp
wookie
puf3
kashmir
goldstar f4 sort of
?? idk

wonder when he'll find his next stud it's been a minute
I’ve seen references online to a male he calls S.L.L, pretty sure it’s = Zkittles x (lemon tree x Wookie 15) aka Zkittles x lavender lemonade. The crosses are being grown out now and I’m sure he’s waiting on reviews, growth habits, stability, etc. before he releases any hybrids. I’m sure it’ll be fire, just like all his other work. Hail Bodhi!

It's pretty simple. I give them a light scuff with fine sandpaper and store in the refrigerator overnight.. the next day I use the paper towel method with Kleenex Viva Papertowels only but instead of using plain un-chlorinated or distilled water.. I mix a solution of Botanicare Liquid Karma at 4ml/gallon and once the seeds are wrapped up in the paper towel, I give a good dunk in that h20/LK solution and then give it a gentle squeeze to get rid of the excess liquid. I place the damp folded paper towel with the seeds in a coffee mug and shove it to the back of a dark closed cupboard in a room that doesn't have direct air conditioning. That's brought up my germ rates for otherwise useless 10+ year old seeds from 0-5% pitiful low numbers to about 40% which is outstanding considering when I was going through that health care scare nightmare my old seed fridge died and these seeds have been in a tool box improperly stored with just some plain white rice in the vials for years now. The Blackberry Lotus pack had 12 seeds and I managed to salvage 4.. other packs I tried before this method I was getting zero to one seed to pop.. most of the time zero.. or they'd crack and the Embryo would just die and not come out. Now that ive changed things up and added Liquid Karma ($28 for a 1 quart bottle) I'm getting much better results. That stuff is like gold for seeds and clones. It's a catalyst. The very definition of a catalyst is "a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change." Well that's what Liquid Karma is. I hear some people refer to it as a nutrient... which it is not. It has super low N-P-K numbers like 0.1-0.1-0.5 and the manufacturer says it's full of amino acids, vitamins, and carbohydrates. It's a staple product in my garden. I use it on seeds and cuttings and usually get 100% success rates on seeds and clones when not working with ones that are so damn old. I can't complain. I almost tossed the entire seed collection but there's still hope. I'm glad I didn't do that. These Blackberry Lotus wouldn't be here today.

Nice thanks for the detailed explanation. I use Botanicare and liquid Karma and the Bloom nutrients have basically the same ingredients, but as you said the Karma has very low NPK ratio. Ill give it a try next round germing.

1 Devil’s Hashplant 12/12 from seed planted 5/2 is average size with slight tendency to branch. Making roundish buds with many tiny calyxes that are now beginning to swell. Very dense tryke coverage on calyxes and virtually none on sugar leaves. Leaves about midway narrow to wide. Smells sweaty today, some fade.
