My lost genetics, Cleaning up the seed collection

Smoking Loon said:

Ive been known to cut and label clones, then put them in the fridge (stems in water), for a couple weeks until i sex my mother/father plants and select keepers. I think ive been able to keep clones in the fridge up to a few months successfully, but if your not worried about plant count just label the shit out of everything and trash 'em as you determine your keepers.

i will get them cold & score them to try for more success.

storage is not perfect, but ok. kept in cool, dark drawer, all air proof. i have seeds from 2003 that are still viable and will pop.

some of these i bought 5 years ago may have sat on the shelf, especially some freebies that were found (NOS). who knows what storage techniques were used before i obtained them.

Back in 2008 I grew Nirvana's Power Plant(Durban hybrid), it was the best sativa high I had for years after, I can remember a friend who after finishing the joint, he got up and started running circles around the block "I feel fast, I feel fast!", That's another strain I want to revisit, but I'm not sure how diluted the PPP is today, considering it's nirvana, they likely mixed a bit more skunk to it than the stuff they had in 07-08.
