Maryland 1st full outdoor grow season coming up, I cheated, 20 year saved seeds.

Well I have to admit that since the laws were changed kinda after outdoor growing season started I did jump the gun in my getting the seedlings rolling. These seeds have been stored in a freezer for 20 years and I just could not what to see what would happen. I put 8 seeds on a plate with paper towels with a plate on the top then sat them on top of my water heater. I only planted 8, 3 in ground 5 in buckets, all survived and all were female which I thought was strange. Did I just get lucky or was it the long freezer storage? Generally on my indoor grows I'm culling 50% males.

You just got lucky.. Sex is determined at pollination..

Unless they were s1.

Nice, I have some Feminized seeds coming thru rn. Hopefully they all pop fem instead of herming on me.

If the seeds came from a plant that hermie'd.....all of the seeds will be female.

Contrary to what some say...those are not "S-1" seeds unless someone made them via STS/colloidal silver.

"In addition to F1 and F2 seeds, there are also S1 seeds. The “S” in this case refers to “self” or “selfed”, meaning that these seeds will be selfed-generation. They do not need a male plant for pollen but rather, the female plant is reversed so that pollen can be collected. The pollen will then be used to pollinate the mother plant or a clone of the mother to get S1 seeds." F1, F2, S1 – What do They Mean for Your Weed? - MSNL Blog (marijuana-seeds.nl)

They may make great weed...you are just going to have to be on your toes and be prepared that things may not go the way you plan and they may herm @ any point during flower. (aka...you lose it all). I'd wanna grow some out indoors...fast...and see if any funny biz shows up/etc.

Gotta remember about the length of day as well. A lot of folks jump the gun...put plants out ASAP...then watch them go into flower...weirdly...as they try to also reveg cus the days are getting longer.....not shorter. Just stuff to remember/think of. You don't wanna put in the effort and then have the pooch screwed.... Good luck!
