That Stardawg IX is a few years old so it might be a good idea to give those a little special attention when decide to pop those.

You probably have your own techniques but if not, there's a thread here with some good tips on germinating older seeds.

I hope you have time to throw up some pics of these. :weed:

I usually soak overnight then put into the rapid rooter plugs. I used to do paper towel method but I like the plugs better.
My germination rate is usually 100%. I just popped some 10 year old beans a few months ago. Every once in a while I get a dud but it’s definitely few and far between. What do you like doing with older beans?

Call me crazy, full disclosure I’ve never tried it, old hippy told me to pop old beans he use to mix pinto bean juice like from the can with water. I always wanted to try it but never did. Something about an enzyme within the pinto bean juice. Could be complete bullshit lol

In the past I've lined a matchbox (or similar) with a fine grade sandpaper and gently scuffed the seeds to help the water penetrate.

If I were trying to germinate some rare seeds I'd probably go with GA3

Would like to mention in not to use GA3. It is the male hormone for the cannabis plant and will signal the seed to be more male like. The benefits of GA3 to make seeds break dormancy is not worth it.

Think I got my hands on some unique stuff, settled 4 the sour runtz the SD bx3 were all gone very fast from the site I use sadly, what do you guys think I should get into first?? Havnt smoked any kind of cheese genetics in years so I'm leaning towards the BG skunk but the all the pineapple diesel plants I've grown have been awesome and so pineapple thai dom really curious how the chocolate Thai x is... 20220210_164018.jpg20220210_163947.jpg20220210_163853.jpg
Sour gorilla clone around 6 weeks in, think I can get something better out of the pack or the new ones so it's being retired 4 now, gave a friend the rooted clone I had of it

I believe its become readily available again BECAUSE @Piffcoastfarms brought it back and ppl are finally finishing grows of it. They dont have whats being sold on the street completely dialed in for potency, but the flavors amazing. After not tasting this flavor since 2009ish - I realize how great the flavor is......still I will say theres strains I'd choose over it....but it used to be my everyday smoke, I'd only get other strains if they were equal or better than it and it was rare to find either....and if it was better, I'd find it once and then it would disappear. Im happy its back.

I'd also like to find what I was told was Purple Kush....im not sure it was, but I m germinating SR71 purple Kush right now too...i had this "purple kush" in 2009, right after the piff went extinct....anyway this "purple kush" had various phenos but the 1 i loved to smoke had a 100% green exterior with lots of frost and orange hairs and yellow hairs...when broken open it was 100% bright violet purple and frosty as a snowman inside....it smelt very grapey and smoked 100% grape flavor with an excellent body relaxing high but wouldnt make you tired. It was amazing.

im hunting for the same kush, used to move packs of that stuff from 08-2012.. its unbelievable. i moved to LA after that and after smoking every kush and og and never finding it i was pissed. had an og kush in amsterdam in 2019 that was dead on. running ak-og from amsterdam genetics rn because they supplied the shop the good kush came from. if youre in the nyc area look for a clone of "the king".. i think this is the one we are after. its a kush crossed to a grape ape and was dominant in tri state. havent been able to track that down but thats my best lead so far.

BG Skunk is on my list, I'd def pop that one first.....both parents on that one interest me. Banana Fizz would be my 2nd choice.

FWIW I've yet to grow or smoke any Runtz crosses that came anywhere close to living up the the hype....glorified Gelato IMHO.

Same - love me some old-school cheese funk. Should be some interesting flavours in that pack for sure.
