hey Cray...Can I pick your brain a little?
I have a sativa strain from Trinidad ..approx 50 seeds left.
which I came into possession of ....in 1978/79
I have grown it out before ....the last time .....it was given to my buddy 2002/03 season
out of 20 seeds to hit the tray he managed only propagate two ...one female and 1 male.
male was killed and the female grown out fully.
Any opinion on what would be best to do with these seeds?
Most viable way to get a plant or two from the remaining seeds?
Is there a germination method that you would use for 36/37 year old seed,that would
have a better chance of survival from propagation thru to final transplant?
I would be all for producing a fresh line of seed if I could manage to get a mother and father going
from this strain.
When It was last run by a friend....it produced a really nice 13 footer in the south central Ontario climate..
It was called "APPLE JACK" because the original grower used apple slices in a garbage bag sized bag of weed.
ok i am not who you asked for..
but were the beans kept cool /frozen or have they been room temp
you can get 100% germ ..frrom frozen seeds and i guess ones kept in af ridge
if not
then its a crap shoot at best..
but if you had germing happen in 2003 then it appears they were not in your desk..
i would surely recommend a repro done indoors..especially if they are rare bench mark sativa beans
i have decades old seeds thatsa;; sprout because they were frozen[my choice method]
my opinion is if they won't sprout normal method..then they prob won't any other way
but there are some hocus pocus methods out there..
