Well cared for!
What do you think the upper limits might be? Starting with seed that was hitting 100% germ. Storing at fridge temperatures (in the container with desiccant). I wonder how many years you could get and still hit 50 or 25% germ.

Although I read about sugar depletion in the cots. killing old seed that had sprouted.
(Sorry, the sativa just hit)

Looks good! I’m interested in what size is your grow space is and what are you using for lights and ventilation?

Flower tent is a 4 x 4 . Plants are under HLG 550 v2 dimmed to 75%. I’m not sure what the CFM of the exhaust fan I’m using right now is but its 4" pulling air though a 6" filter . Plants are in 3 gallon fabric pots filled with recycled soil .I’m using Gaia green products right now for ferts .I have a smaller veg tent I use for seedlings and clones with a blurple in it that pulls 400 watts from the wall .
