Hello everyone! I quit growing for a few years due to personal situations, but I am back! I am starting over fresh and all I have is my old seed collection and lots of prayers
I'm tired of buying over priced dispensary junk, time to grow my own to save a little. I will be attempting to pop a bunch of different varieties in hopes of finding some keeper moms, so two weeks ago I began sprouting (trying really) my old seeds in hopes I can find some good old school smoke I used to grow tent years ago. So I began and hadn't been having great luck. I tried the solo cups dunk, giberellic acid, hydrogen peroxide and water, paper towel method, ally old seeds will just pop a Taproot and then die. So I have been letting the seeds float on top of the solo cup water for a few days, rinsing them with peroxide then into the paper towel. After a couple days still nothing. Did some research and realized it's probably a combo of me drowning them and the old seeds need longer to grow but get mold in the paper towel. So I take the seeds from the seeds pack, put it in solo cup with a small amount of hydrogen peroxide just to clean them off initially, then add water to top the cups off, leave them for a few days to absorb water, then into the paper towel. A couple finally sprouted, so now with the rest I have been trying to keep them in the paper towel lightly moist and if the get mold I wash the seed with peroxide and give it a new paper towel. So far I have about ten sprouts. The goal is to get at least 50 to sprout and being regular seeds we will start to cut the weaklings and non-keepers, males out as we go along. We will narrow it down to basically find a mother of each cross to keep.
Once I get the amount of seeds to sprout that I need I will update you all and let you know what strains we have for sure!
Right now the seeds that did/are sprouting are just on my desk under an LED desk light until this week. I have to go to my storage and dig out all my grow gear and lights. I just figured if I start sprouting then now they may take time being older, and if they sprout it will force me to dig out my tent lol... Well we got survivors! Hahahaha
