I might be able to come across some nice 10 year seeds thanks to a special friend :

anyone got any tips to maximize the germ rate on the old babys?

i have a solution, u can send me those :p
or scratch a little ur seeds where the germ will pop, before watering 24h...

yea like frenchy says...if they dont germ then u can slice a little cut on the side with a sculpul....soaking in room temp water works good

good luck if its the same friend that has given us many of those old seeds to!

and once we got one to grow! and we ended up with the 21 week haze! the shit keeped flowering for 3 crops. we did not keep her though.

1.carbonated water drop of superthrive
2.water and superthrive
2.scuffing the seed with light sandpaper like on a matchbook

just a few things we have tried over the years

i used a bubbler too. pretty rad. some molasses and hydrogen peroxide too.

keep germination at 80F + ,low temp will slow things down for sure.

peace

yeh man germing old really aint no thing if they were stored nice and cool and dry. Just give em a good scuff with some sand paper and soak in some water till they crack. if they dont crak try to sand the ends of the seeds till u can see inside and soak overnight then to paper towels. The superthrive is a good addition. good luk gettin em to germ man.

hey logic ,how r u man? what about thoses seeds?????

good 24 hour soak with a drop of superthrive..

hey man the temp is the key..try this... pop some in the deep freeze for 24 hours..trick them that the winter is over..beans are smart and will race to gro if they feel spring coming.. then germ them with a drop of super thrive..keep a close eye on the temp for the first 36 hours.. keep them moist all the day not wet so go easy on them with spray.. keep the temp to 24 C and 50% H .. thats not easy to do so pick a good week to germ.. not too hot not too cold..I like to use cotton wool over paper towels as the seeds get a nice bed in the wool and the paper will dry out too fast... good luck man hope they crack
