I always remembered Subcool being rather against that kind of thing, or he probably would’ve feminized his gear long before he passed imho…

Anyone remember the “Fem seeds are for pussies” T shirt?

I don’t know man maybe I’m completely wrong, but I would think it would be better to honor Subcool’s legacy by using his gear in pollen chucking experiments for future use, and keep the originals all cloned so I never lose them.
He was totally against fem seeds.
As far as I remember
You’re both right.
Subcool was highly against fem seeds, until around the last six months of his life, when he was running out of money, and options.
That’s when he authorized TGA Will to have the fem seeds mentioned above created.
Subcool talked about all of this in one of the later Weed Nerd episodes from Arizona.

Damn really?
Looks like i have missed that one.
I watched every stream and Nerd Episode in Trimjail. Tga was the first usa genetics I have grown.(I'm from Europe).
Soil King banned me, for asking, why he is doing it with subcools ex girls and wife

Black Friday Deals until Nov 30!!!! 30% off site (excluding BOGO from Badgers Batch and Gooey Breeder)
Was able to get 4 packs of NCG x kings banner from gooey breeder for Black Friday from genetic supply also grab a 6 pack of fem SFV kush from Cali connection tossed in 2 5 pack freebies of orange cola. Chelumbian x Cali O. Was very surprised when I grew out the 3 females that 1 pack gave me very similar phenotypes and 1 plant took 11 days longer to finish but she was the 1 best of the 3 had more cheesy citrus funk terps. No cola at all lol pop your freebies guys and gals had some of my best plants from freebies. Was gifted a 5 pack of regular citrus farmer F2s and got 2 very nice females but they were very different. The F2 let out some recessive traits. But both were some serious smoke

These guys have sales very often? They have a couple things I want to grab but I am cheap and rarely pay retail these days. Anyone have a promo code?

My buddy recently ordered some old subcool stuff from genetic supply, and tried popping some seeds this week. 0/10 after 4 days :-(. Do they recommend a certain germination technique for older seed stock? Do they ever replace orders for non-germination? They did double his order for free and throw in some extra seeds in the packs which was very cool, but now I wonder if that was because of known germination rates being low on old stock. Has anyone had a similar experience, and how did it go?

I don't know, but some people claim that if you scuff or even crack the outer shell just a bit that then the seeds will have enough energy to pop. I haven't tried any of those. But seems to me if you are buying seeds today and aren't sold under auspices of them being a novelty item one should get some viable seeds.

Thanks, that’s exactly what I told my buddy to do - scuff the seeds. I also told him to email and ask if they had any specific recommendations for popping older seeds. I’m hoping they offer to replace them. Old stuff is always a gamble. I hope it works out because it’s his first ever seed purchase.

Put em in airtight container in fridge for 48 hours then 1-10 peroxide to water use a new razor and gentle run it in the seem where ther split and soak for a few days. U should see a few pop tails. I e had trouble popping some 10 year old sour seeds that were bangers. Hope this helps it works for me by super gentle on the razor on the seems of bean or u can kill it

Update, buddy wound up soaking the rest of the pack, and then gently squeezed the seeds to make them crack along the seam. As of this morning, 5/27 deep purple have tails so far. Some success and hopefully more to come.

Any more on this? Dealing with some old beans that I'm wishing to revive and so far and it's 0 for 30 almost. Crazy. New stock is popping in 24 to 48 hours. Some of the old beans have cracked open but no tails whatsoever trying to revive a bunch of freebies now instead of preferred stock. I'd rather fail on the freebies than the ones I paid for

Its luck of the draw with any beans over five years old.
I got the Norstar strain Pagan (Apollo 13 x Zapotec) and I only got 2/18. Neither were kept past a month veg.
But they were older stock seeds and a limited edition
Fresh seed from Norstar was 10/10 on their Darkwood s1…but I only kept 1 plant that stood out against the others.

Old seeds are a crap shoot. Best to pop them all and see if you get something good.

For sure. He’s a new grower, and got excited when he listened to the subcool Potcast. He’s young and into “flavors”. It’s my friend’s kid, and I find it to reason with someone in their 20’s. I warned him about old seeds, but admire his dedication.

Oh right the ‘flavors’ lol.
I’ve grown enough of subcools stuff to know the flavors is mostly bullshit. The flavors are there but unstable and a lot of the highs are the same.
Subby was basically breeding with a c99 male variant that he called the dude. That’s where the cherry flavor came from.
His Vortex is Cindy ‘with a twist’.

Subs best work was Apollo13bx, and Chernobyl in my opinion.
Tell the kid to get the Slymer S1’s that Bob bitchin is selling. (Lime)
Tell the kid to get some C99 from Fleur du mal seeds. (Citrus/cherry)
He will win.
