Yeah I'm not asking for replacements. They were the replacement for the awesome s1's I got. So you can understand why it irritates me. And everyone that wants to give me their way to pop seeds. I'm good on that. I've been popping seeds for a day or two. Everything is potted the same, watered the same. Everything. Even ones that have been flowered over the last 14 years.
One thing I found over time is that one method may work fine in all fall and winter and come summer and spring fuck you over hard. (variable climate = variable results)

I have had popped a couple dozen assorted Cannaventure lines with 100% germ rate and 100% survival rate

I used to have worse germ rates and lose seedlings. But germ rates have gone up and lost 0 seedlings since implementing 2 simple steps

#1-soak the seeds before planting in 1/2 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide mixed with 20 oz of water. This kills all pathogens and should knock out any problems from improper storage. This move is what helped improve germ rate by 20% or so.

#2-once the seedlings pop and after the first leaves open, start spraying the stems with chamomile tea every 3 or 4 days. The sulfur kills off the fungus that causes damping off.

Give it a try. Its a little more work but worth it.
I just hate introducing new things to my garden. It has been tip top with everything I have been doing for the past almost 9 years. Other than upgrading lights and whatnot. But my tents have been productive producing machines straight for at least 4 1/2 years. Until recently.

And yet we continue to read about your failed germination attempts while trashing breeders because of your inability to learn.

Pics or it didn't happen.....

Since you clearly can't figure it out, a new pathogen has RECENTLY been introduced into your garden. If you want your germ and survival rates to improve YOU WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THINGS.

FFS...

And now that I have a bit more time-
It's been said before, but this is the only step I took to go from about 40% survival to 100% germ and survival (for over 9 months now):

Quoting myself:
Hydrogen peroxide is also used to prevent damping off (which is one of the main reasons seedlings die). I use it 100% of the time for all seeds, and I too have 100% success rate since I started doing it. A capful of 3% peroxide into 20 ounces of distilled water (PHed if needed). Then do the paper towel method, and this treated water is the only thing that touches those seeds/seedlings until they go into their much larger veg pots (unless they need a mild fert and I add peroxide to that too). I had a serious issue with damping off, and it never happens now.

Long term use of peroxide can harm soil microbes, so don't use throughout the plant's entire life.

Edit: Added "germ and survival" - it sounded like my germ rate was below 100% -it isn't.

All I see is someone ruthlessly killing poor defenseless seeds :P


had a bad pack of Chinook Haze. Alot didn't germ ones that did. All males. Emailed gu had replaceent pack with 5 days.
I popped 4 obs. 2 have black taproot right out the gate. Duds more than likely. Hope not.
Well out the first set of 4 O.B.S. seeds 3 are duds. They germed and popped a black taproot. And that was it. Nothing else. Kinda irritated. As this is the second pack of duds ive gotten from greenpoint. I had a bad pack of Chinook Haze that did the same thing.
One thing I am. Is honest. I jus dropped 3 more O.B.S. if they don' germ. I'l b emailing him hopefully for a replacement pack. 7 outta 10 bad seeds isn't kosher in my book.
Well it' official. I planted one of the 4 from the first 4 I germed. But it dies out in the peat pellet. So that's 4 for 4 that were duds. So I'm already out almost half a pack of obs. Which kinda irritates me. Pretty shitty you gotta germ 7 out of a 10 pack to get one to grow. Not happy right now. Out of 7 only 3 r planted now. These 3 are the ones I had to send the shells on. Which you shoukdnt have to do. I' starting to think they weren't dried right or something. Not a happy GPS customer right now.
First of all I've popped way over 1000 seeds. I've NVR had a problem. The next 3 popped just fine. The 30 before that popped just fine. It' not my method. But thanks for your useless reply. I appreciate it. But it's not needed. I wasn't being negative. The only thing negative was your comment. The next 3 I germed exactly the same. Same brand paper towel. Same jug of water. And when the seed pops a black taproot. How in the fuck is that my fault.
Well out of 5 pebble pushers and 5 sundae stallion only have 1 pebble pusher and 2 sundae stallions left. These are probably the most manliest, sickly lookn seedlings I have ever run. And no it's not my soil, temp, environment, or any if the above.
Yeah my guess just bad seeds. Not uncommon but with me
Well all 5 lvtk are fukn garbage. First time running cannaventure. And absolutely the last. This is now twice I've got the fucking shaft from GPS. Even though the lvtk isn't Gu's. 5 outta 5 sprouted. And all 5 are dead. Wtf.
Yeah I'm not asking for replacements.
