DAY 7
==========


ok 7 days and not even 1 tap root, there' fucked, and I'm out $20 cause I dont have any seeds at the moment only clones that I took less then 2 or 3 days ago with no roots.

well I guess that proves it....

10 year old seeds just cant be sprouted!

I would never have guessed :P

give them time, the older they are the longer they take, i heard of a guy on overgrow sprouting 25 year old seeds. don't give up yet! just keep changing whatever your germinating in(paper towel, glass of water).

Yeah hold up. They may just take longer to germinate since they are so old.
Man I hope this goes some where.
Tell the truth did you plan this out (like legal pad or powerpoint).
It seems very presenting.
Well I like it.
The more detail the better.

I seen your thread on the hydro setup. Good job.
I am watcing you f*****.
LoL

hope you voted for me then :mrgreen:

ok then I've still got these seeds, I'll just let them go for another week.

and I did that movie in power point, then used a 3rd party program to convert the Powerpoint file to a .AVI file, then from the .AVI to individual images for each slide.... then I used windows movie maker along with a sound editing program to put every thing together.

yeah I think thats what may have happened, I think next time I'm just going to stick with what I know and do it the old fashioned way.

ok well this is the last post I'm making in this thread, moral of the story is if your going to waste $20 at least try and get some weed for it.

10yr old seeds cant sprout, at least not when you cook them.

stick to what you know, and only experiment when you can afford to.

yeah dude.. anyone could have told u seeds are worthless after 2 years.. unless they're kept air-tight and frozen.... Sorry u wasted ur time..

why not try to find some schwag or seeded bud and use those seeds.. they'll be much fresher... just look for the tiger pattern on the outside and gently squeeze the seed between ur fingers to see if it's good.. if it cracks open, it's rotten.. if it's firm, germination time! MMMMMMMk !?

what is this shit. every thread i see people throw out these numbers and figures. 2 years? who the fuck said that a seed is no longer viable after 2 years? jesus h. christ you guys should stop misinforming people. "anyone could have told u seeds are worthless after 2 years" "i also knew 2 years"
eatspam, i take it that you dont like spam. correct? then dont listen to these idiots. keep them out of direct light and extreme fluctuations in temperature and humidity, and seeds may be viable for longer than 2 years.

you should be able to sprout some unless there storage was bad. superthrive/rooting hormone/h202. i do paper towel ziplock bag on top of warm v.c.r or d.v.d. player. recently a date seed in israel was sprouted and it was over 1000 years old pretty cool. here is a usless fact there are 'creosote bushes' in the mojave dessert which basically clone themselves and they believe some are 10000 years old some of the oldest living creatures sorry off subject. i think it is cool though:peace:
