Anyone here have any luck popping the auto seeds? And if so what method was used? The handful I've tried so far have yet to pop. Though I am still noob status so there's always that variable.

Nah you arent the only one man. I had 8 that didnt pop and I dont consider myself noob status either ( I got a good handful of successful grows). I didnt germinate the rest because I dont got time for those genetics tbh and the experience with those autos made me lose the motivation to pop the rest. @Heisenbeans I hope your seeds coming up are a different story man. If you say your such a badass grower why are these seeds failing. I just popped some hazeman strawberry cough ive had for a few years (at least 3) kept in the basement in a cool, dry spot and ALL germinated in less than 1 day. Not reigning on your parade but I know you sent them out for free but them autos being bunk is not painting a good picture of you in my eyes.

I don't care if I only get 2 to 4 of the 20-24 beans to pop because he has already stated that they are old seeds and they were free. Year before last I tried popping some seeds I had in storage for 5-6 years( kept in a box in a closet). Couldn't get any to pop. Since then I've kept all my beans in a fridge and have had no issue since. Storage plays a big role but there are some methods that help.

Seeds were old and I never planned on giving them out the past 2 years they sat in a fridge in a garage turned off. Everyone of the seeds i recently made i got 100 percent germination. When those auto seeds were made I got 100 percent. There just old seeds man and they didnt cost anyone a penny.

Didn't mean to start a whole thing here over the auto seeds. Like you said they were free so I'm not looking for 100% germination. Just a noob here seeing if there was a better method.

Soak like you do for 12 to 24 hrs and try the paper towel method(moist paper towel in a sandwich baggie) on top of a cable box or wireless router. The added heat makes a big difference.

I popped a few last spring and they popped open. I know having seeds from other places if they sit to long in a hot place they wont be any good. I figured at least half would germinate. Usually just a cup of water and toss em till they crack open.

I usually just drop em in a shot glass of water til the seed cracks, usually a day or two, then into soil. So far that method has worked with the all other seeds I've planted.

Maybe try mixed with h2o2 or ga3 then into a paper towel for a day or two keep em warm. It helps with older seeds that may not be as viable. I have a bunch of old stuff from dad. I got when he passed away. Old old stuff. Some of it is hard to germ. The ga3 or h2o2 helps. Not both though. Might help worth a shot. If you're really wanting to try and run them.

I've got some 30 year plus beans that i can't get to germ. Another member recommended URB Natural.
I've already tried H2O2 without any luck.

The URB works, these were soaked in undiluted for 30 mins then put in my super hi tech tupperware papertowel method.
Date says 12/15 But it was 2am in the morning when I made them.20181217_231805.jpg
I had the autos out and was gonna pop 'em but I didn't see Heisen's response. I'll test them with the urb maybe tomm. Actually, I'll pop 1 2night to test after I get these into pellets.
I soaked 3 beans of 3 strains. The other beans were pelleted Earlier today...these barely had a taproot coming out when checked.
