Old seed starting experiment
I decided to drop a second batch of seeds, because I am feeling saucy. These are all my old black mamba x Bogglegum crosses from nearly 20 years ago.
The only thing that I will do differently with this batch is to add a half teaspoon of molasses and brown sugar to a half cup of boiling water. Once it cools down a bit I will add a teaspoon of h2o2 and drop in the seeds. They’ll stay in there until they sink, at which time I will immediately plant them.
I scuffed the edges of each seed with a fine nail file, too.

Thanks for the update!
"scuffed the edges of each seed with a fine nail file, too"
Excellent
And certainly not to downplay the Moon, just good Juju.
Scruffy looking little puppies, a beautiful garden.
Just thought I'd drop this here

It’s another new Supermoon, so I decided to give it another shot.
My other seeds are going strong,
Thanks for the link.Hippiechik wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 9:59 pmI posted over at Overgrow, but with the photos actually in order, if anyone is interested (there’s a few more photos there) https://overgrow.com/t/the-lazarus-grow/96372/23Chimera’s C4
Was interesting to see your dissection and evaluation...very cool.
Got my fingers crossed for your C4's.

I finally got everyone transplanted, and have all the lights up and running. So now we wait…

I’m getting ready to completely redo the growroom, so I’ll end this thread (for now- I’ll update as I attempt to start more seeds) and start a different one for the new grow.

I've done a lot of experimenting on growing old seed and storage.
Just because I can't spell misanthrope doesn't mean I'm completely stupid.
