Well, we live and learn don't we people? Seeds storage wasn't my top concern while I held on to the expensive seeds I ordered from attitude. I (for the majority of the time I had them) kept them on a shelf inside, nice and cool, not in direct sunlight, in a glass jar wrapped in the bubble wrap/plastic bags they come in. Then I moved. for about 6 months their new home was in a hot as hell garage on a shelf in the very back , in the drak... but still hot as hell. I'm not going to bash G13 because of the way I stored the seeds, but it makes me wonder.... both the fem'ed G13 seeds I tried to grow (freebies) PPP and Skunk#1, sprouted, grew a little taproot, then died before ever getting leaves.... bummer. Funny thing is the two TSS's that I kept right with them the whole time both sprouted and are doing fine.... i just hope they are gals. The only difference between the two was the medium, the two that died I tried to put in some rooting moss and the two TSS's went into MG seeds starting mix. Maybe that was the deciding factor, I'll tell you one thing, I won't be using that moss anymore after loosing the only two Fem'ed seeds I've ever owned in it. Maybe it was old too.... learning as I go....
So; here's what I did, much like the first loss I suffered with the PPP, it caused me to wave my fist in disgust and plant more damn it! The one White Widow seed still hasn't germed, I even dropped it into a shot glass full of water overnight and then back into the wet paper towel between two plates... nothing still as of now.... but maybe one of the other 4 I just added will!
I'm concerned because the WW's aren't going to be able to veg much, if at all, because these TSS's need to go into flower
soon. They are monsters from what I read, so this will be done improperly for the WW's.... but I see people on here that have used HPS's from seed to flower that still got good results so I'm apprehensively hopeful... besides, if these seeds are going bad, then I might as well get something out of them while I can right? 5 WW seeds and 3 TSS's left... but in the freezer now; where they should've been from the beginning.
I think I'm going to put the WW's into some Happy Frog since I'm out of MG seed started, that is if
any of them sprout. Cross your fingers for me people, advice is always welcome, feel free to post any comments or suggestions. Or just tell me why I'm a dumb ass.... I should be much better at this by the end of the year....
