Hmm, that doesn't sound good. I just grew some Afghani that turned out very well. I got seeds from a member, so I'm not sure of it's origins. I'll have to ask. It has 3 finger fan leaves and it is very potent.. It only took 6 weeks to flower. I could have let it go a little longer, but it's a pretty heavy high at 6 weeks. I don't need to be comatose. I'll try the Seedsman and see what they look like. The ones I grew were very small, but I only vegged them for about 3 weeks before putting them outside to flower. I got an average of 2 oz dry per plant...not bad for a Spring crop.

Good for practice on

avoid letting your seeds soak so long in the cup,

I suggest you may have in inadvertently drowned them

imo/ best to remove to the kitchen towel after they have sunk 6-8 hours imbibtion at most

you have some nice fems, mixing in some more indica would have screwed these phenos /imo

consider a dance with some sts or diy colloidal silver ..???

good luck

ps to my blog on that imbibtion: https://www.rollitup.org/Journal/Entry/germination-101.31319
Hi Vos,
Can you clarify the sts or diy colloidal silver ..??? much appreciate to info.

I grew the afghani freebie too and got 10 oz of dank as dense sticky bud. I vegged it for 4 weeks. Is a bit slow after week 6 of flower but mine finished on day 70. smells very strong after a 2 week cure. I grew in canna coco with all the additives. Gonna grow it again. The buds grow really dense. Is a heavy drinker as the fan leaves grow to big . Will put pics up when I can. More of a stone than a high

Well although I am disappointed to findout the news that they're trash, I appreciate the input.
Only reason I needed them was because I only ordered fem seeds and wanted one male to selectively pollinate a few lower buds from my other strains (silver surfer haze, dinafem cheese, frisian dew) so I don't have to get seeds next year. Looks like I'm better off scraping that idea.
Just make your own fem seeds... easier to find a good plant to use as a parent too for a small project like that.

How many did you grow? Freebie makes it sound like 1.

Sts and collidial silver are used on growing weed flowers(bud) to male a female flower turn male

once the female flower is now male.. pollen is collected from that flower

and then added to any flower, including its sister on the next branch

the seeds from this 'fuck' will always be female..hence feminized seed

buy sts from amazon, or better make your own spray solution from silver and ro water apply 1 time per day for 10-14 days in early flower

avoid using silver coins, never trust govt. alloys ...lol

I germinated 2. They were quite big seeds. But I have grown the same plant 3 times now. The first time I just grew 12/12 from seed. Only got 2 oz but the second time topped it at the 8th node and vegged for 4 weeks. I took 4 clones this 3rd run but it's just a fill in plant with extra space available. I noticed at day 70 that it grew so many Nanas so would be easy to make fem seeds. I must of got the diamond in the rough. My other mate got the freebies too and swears that they are rubbish plants.but grew it with no topping and in super soil
 
So I had 10 of the herbies free afghani reg seeds. So far, I've tried to germinate 6 of them. Used the paper towel method. Kept in a warm environment, only 2/6 seeds opened up a tap root. One of those two transplanted to soil and popped. The other one I thought wouldn't make it but just popped out of soil about 9 days later. Either way, I just laid down 4 more of them in the paper towels after soaking them in the cup for about 12-20 hours when they sank. I have germed plenty of other seeds (dinafem mainly) and have a 11/12 success rate (one that didn't was a green/young seed from blimburn) so I think it's just these free afghanis.

Anyone else have issues getting these seeds to pop?
Yea I had 4.3of them wouldn't even pop the fourth was a male

What kind of converter do we need to make colloidal silver ? How many volts x amps ? sorry, what " ro water " means?
Very nice tip from you vostok , and u r right coins and others items maiden by silver should be avoided for this purpose due their %age of alloys, silver should be 999.9 pure. Certified ingots are the best.
Making our own seeds its a v good idea.
I learned that there is a nice gumption going on down there in South America about seeds and preserving genetics among Growers Communities. Like one guy is on charge of taking care of the males , making sure they will have the pollen produced and aptly storage for future use , the seeds resulted are sold for a symbolic price or also given as a gift to the net growers. Nice things about our leafy world. http://www.pazinfinita.com/

thanks
peace:leaf:

Smells like feijoa and pamolive soap bars but potency doesn't compare to ak47 or white russian I got going. But if you got the spare space then why not. Has really good bag apeal the buds are so dense that when I sell my oz people ask is that a oz. Alot of fluffy sativa hybrids forsale in my area but mine sold like hotcakes oh and the Nanas stuck out like dog balls as the bud was so dark in colour20151019_195913.jpg 20160308_204523.jpg 20160308_204523.jpg 20160308_204523.jpg 20160404_185459.jpg 20160308_204523.jpg 20151019_195913.jpg

First post you said you got 10 ounces, now its 2 ounces? Then you are actually happy that it hermied on you?
 
View attachment 3679290 WIN_20160511_20_17_48_Pro.jpg WIN_20160511_20_17_37_Pro.jpg Ok my turn , Im not b!tching because they were free ,although all the freebies was one reason i went with this company . Anyway i have popped seeds since i was 14 , never grew them (bag columbian and mexican) I am in my 50's so my technique is very good . I got 2 so far out of 6 pop, heres one i have never seen before and im trying like He!! to make this grow but it will not grow tall or any roots . I just replaced the soil today to check the root growth and nothing . I looked this up and it is a tri-leaf which will have a 3rd more branches . i read another post somewhere ,where he has popped many but all hermed . This is 6 days old, very healthy looking but will not grow, what to do ??? I think it is really cool and just want to see it grow ....:mrgreen: My other that popped came out normal looking is 3 days old and double the size.

This may not be a good idea but im going to hit it with alittle root stimulator and a touch of bat juice . just for caughs/laughs
