EDIT: Sorry about the hashed formatting.
It looked great in the editor.

I started wondering how long I had been growing and cloning some of my girls.
I thought it might be easier to just enter the planting data into Excel.
This was not true.
But here it is anyway. (Hope the cut and paste formats readable)

Key: Full name entered when a seed line is planted the first time; additional plantings are listed by code only.

This is the result of only four seed orders and the attached free seeds.
I currently have a slug of varieties about ready to harvest for the first time. All those free seeds and a great summer overfilled my basement space.
My oldest keeper is a White fire from two years ago.
I also have a Pre 98 Bubba Kush almost that old.
And one Alien Rock Candy for 18 months.

Will any or the current room of flower make it into the future?
Some didn't survive. The competition is intense.

Let's see some lists and read some long lived keeper stories.

Oh man, I bet NCGA would be on this one already, I don't think I know anyone who keeps notes and is as organized the way he does.

I am terrible about organization, absolutely terrible. :o

My notes are pages on a clip board.
Format is: date, action, notes.
The entries are limited to planting, cutting, and harvesting with time spent in 12/12 noted.
It helps to keep it stripped down to only things that will help me with planning and keeping track of when to start looking for roots on clones.
I am ignorant of so many things, but with the farm and imported seeds, I'm doing fine.

What is NCGA?
If Seamaiden thinks I should grow it, I will grow it.

Dude! You've gotta run the Blue Widow and the Kona! Do you think those beans'll pop?

I have 18 Kona ... these are`nt from any seed company,I had 1 friend from the big island.

11 Blue Widow F2 or "Two Blue" I think is what ncga named them.

both of them are around 12-15 years old..to the best of my memory...I`m no pro at germing old beans. I did use a product once called "bacto" sold by sannies that seemed to really help ..i`m out of that. Or I guess a 12-24 hr soak in mild liquid kelp mix....a friend gave me lbs of that (dry concentrate) ... Soak in mild mix of Nitron A-35? any Tips??? I`m runnin a project now tho.. I have no room...

Before I started new beans ..I dug through this stash... and tried to germ a few in paper towel with bottled water,air temp was around 80-85 F . At first I started trying to do some of the mighty mite mix beans...I figured I have hundreds..after 3 weeks nothing... I said well those f3,f4`s looked small and light colored...Then I went for it Got 0% germ and lost all the .. G-13 x Blue Widow , Black Khyber , Ak-47 , Williams Wonder x Bubbleberry x G-13 , G-13 x Fig Widow9 . I gave it almost a month,nothing ... I could have cried , So I packed everything up again, and got drunk as hell...Kicking myself to this day ...for not useing the great gifts that were givin to me. There were just stages in life that I had no chance to grow,and time went on,I always knew hey you better do something with those soon , someday. Let this be a hard learned lesson for you folks... use it or loose it... pack your beans up in good containers,always well labeled and store in the fridge , or freezer for long term storage. Really what hurts me the most is not the fact that I dont get to grow some kind from 15 year old beans... like I cheated time. It`s the fact that I didnt use the gifts that people gave me...like getting a shirt from a good friend for christmas ,and saying how much you love it, but then putting it in the back of the closet and never wearing it.

Current : Killer Queen x Blue Hammer (4 girls ) 2 sativa phenos, 2 more indica pheno.... these are trees! I let 2 K.O. Kush F4 boys have there fun... The girls are packed and glowing :)

BSSF.... straydog ;)

Tetrazolium is a stain that will show if a seed has any life inside.
It's a destructive test, so it can only give hope when seeds are abundant.
If there is living tissue present, you might be able to stimulate germination with the addition of gibberelic acid.

Dunge ..tyty.. Tetrazolium I`ll pass on that but it `s a good tip thank you .... gibberellic acid on the other hand ,I actually have. 0.10% 30 ml gibberellic acid bottle. Its 3 ml to 27 ml of water... to get a solution of 100 ppm. just a note for someone else. (30ml is 1oz)

I`m going to do some control tests with different liquid soaks in paper towel ...on some of the old mighty mite beans I have...I have hundreds..there over 10 years old. I`ll see what happens and move on from there...

1 . 100ppm gibberellic acid
2. 200ppm gibberellic acid
3. liquid kelp extract
4. nitron a-35
5. nitron a-35 and liquid kelp

Dunge thanks again ..peace

prob goes without saying but rub them down with some sand paper first and a little razor slit if that does not work will help if there viable ...

Some years ago there was someone on another forum who used a mild bleach solution for germinating old beans. The problem is I can't remember how much! It was very mild, though, along the lines of what's used for water treatment. I wish I had taken note of amounts, but I honestly never thought I'd have old beans to pop. Now I do. Hrm.

Let's see some lists and read some long lived keeper stories.
New seed order from Meduser yields planting update:
1/22/2014 ...2 BubbaKush X DC by Cannacopia
....................2 UBC Chemo (wide) by Woodhorse
....................2 JillyBean by TGA
....................2 DeepPurple by TGA
....................2 Rocky Mt. High by Motarebel
....................2 TrainWreck X WilliamsWonder by Motarebel

Current keepers are still Alien Rock Candy, White Fire, Bubba Kush.
Provisional keepers are THCBomb, WhiteWidow X Skunk, & BlueVenom.
This is largely the result of desirable product, favorable structure, and the plants ability to clone for me.

Did an early planting of this summers outdoor autoflowers.
One each of six different seeds.
The plan is to duplicate this tray at three week intervals just to see what happens.

1/11/2014
Sweet Tooth auto by Barney's Farm
Pineapple Express auto by Barney's Farm
Cindy Jush auto by Auto Seeds
Auto Pounder w/ Cheese by Auto Seeds
G13 Haxe auto by Free Seeds
Royal Green auto by unknown

Executive action:
Dropping all the provisional keepers, and I lost my Bubba Kush after over two years of true love.
So I compensated by planting:
Pre 98 Bubba Kush by Cali Connection
Tahoe OG by Cali Connection
BubbaKush X DC by Cannacopia

new provisionals (good cuttings of flowering plants) from the 22 Jan planting are:
Rocky Mt. High by Motarebel 1&2
TrainWreck X WilliamsWonder by Motarebel 2&4
JillyBean by TGA 1
AKX 1&3 (This is a pollen chuck that was planted by a friend and cam back to me as teens.)

My wish is to leave bread crumbs of my mmj seed sprouts, and to get others to tell of seeds they are sprouting, and cuts they are keeping.
