5+ years seeds opened in 8 hours + Shout out.

Hi guys and girls i'm a first time grower I just wanted to say hello, and here's my story. So back when I a was young stud about 5 years ago took a little trip to Amsterdam. When I was there I bought some seeds. I bought some Ed Rosenthal Super Bud from Sensi (actual store in a-dam ) and some Arjan#1 haze from green house seeds (also main store) I have had them saved in a safe paced away for quite sometime and I though this year id give it a shot.

I put 2 ERSB and 2 Haze in a wet paper towel covered them with two desert plates wrapped the two plates with painters tape and placed it on a small heating blanket (maybe 2'x 2') and holy crap the ERSB have cracked and are showing tails after only 8 hours. No change from the haze seeds.

Anyhow hope to hear from you guys

ye your doing well and soon be time to get them planted, what sort of set up have you got to grow them little babys in ?

They will be put in a Jiffy Windowsill Green House then the strongest two will be transferred into two five gallon pots which will be under 3 40watt cfl. I will keep them in veg until I can plant them outside.

my advice if your going to use cfls just get a few more the more lights the better...good luck i hope to hear that they all pop

Yea you are going to want to do like AT LEAST 4 per plant....

I think I may have misinformed you guys. The clf's I am using are the 150watt bulb but they only use 40watts of power. I bough 3 of them. ( http://www.amazon.com/Globe-Fluorescent-150-Watt-Incandescent-Equivalent/dp/B000GBBUGQ )

Nice man im just finishing up some seeds i ha for like 5 years also great germination rate and 80% females not anywere near as good of seeds as yours just some cali bag seeds. I personally think cfls work great i start all my plants out with them until t.hey get like 5 sets of leaves. All my plants are small and bushy with very little space between nodes. You can get your cfls pretty close to the plants without burning them. Happy growing

How did u have them stored??

what those are are 40watt CFLs what its saying is compared to a normal everyday light bulb it would take a 150watt regular lightbulb to equal that one 40watt cfl in brightness but you do still need more CFLs 3 or 4 should be fine. use the ones labeled full spectrum or daylight for veg and the ones labeled warm white or soft white for flower

this might help out a bit
