I should've mentioned, too, that I got the Goldstars and the Prayer Towers over a year ago and stored them in one of those containers that you get eighths in from dispensaries. Just threw the seed packs into those containers with a little organic brown rice and kept them in the back of one of my chest-of-drawers that I put, like, my jeans and t-shirts in and shit. No refrigeration or anything. The Apollos and the Clusterfunks I got in late April/early May (maybe, can't remember exactly when, but it was at least six months ago) and stored them the same way. No refrigerator or freezer and 100% germ rates.
I bought all these plastic test tube things and keep meaning to fill them with rice and put the seed packs in them and then into the fridge, but for some reason I haven't yet. Maybe I'll do that today haha. Either way, yeah, 20 out of 20 germed from seeds that were stored in less than ideal conditions.
I dunno what my problem is haha. I seem to have a "condition" that makes me wanna do things the opposite way you're "supposed" to do things.... Whatever. It's working so far. And that's the way I kind of have lived my life, too, and it works for me: whatever the majority of people are doing, I do the opposite. Without even thinking about it.
Shrugging my shoulders right now haha.
