So I got some gods gift hybrid experiment seeds named PURPLE JESUS from a reputable grower friend of mine a long time ago, like 2013 or so, I'll post their lineage as soon as I get ahold of it (gods gift crossed with some other purps then crossed back to the Gift. Dude sold GDP pollen lol). Well, I found them recently. Decided to see if they germ, got 1 of 2 to pop. Tried again with a different method and got 1 of 2 to pop. Then I tried the glass of water AND the paper towel method and 3 of 7 popped. So I got 5 old school babies growing all 1 week apart lol. 50% germ rate 50% females rate, good thing I have 40 more seeds
Does anyone have any experience with old seeds? I’m used to clones from dispensaries and autos from seed banks. They’re still just as good right? I mean they look good and they already have a bit of a stank already but I was told they could go hermie because the age?????
Here’s all the “PURPLE JESUS” At roughly 1, 2, and 3 weeks
I've got a thread going about some 25 + year old seeds I'm going to try to crack soon, there's a lot of input you might want to check it out, good luck!
Found some seeds that are at least 25 years old. I'm not positive these are from my old grow, but they very likely are, and if so there's a good chance they're real Skunk#1 There's a possibility they could be much older than 25yrs., and they could possibly be legitimate Colombian Gold seeds...

Unless they came from a hermied plant I think they'll be fine. You're not guaranteed females though and you won't know that until after you turn them to flower. With 5 pots you may only get 1-2 fems or 4-5 fems no way to know. A lot of work and hopes and dreams die after sexing. I had 7 beautiful plants growing and ended up with 2 females. Left me with a mostly empty flower room with only 2 girls in it.
