Anytime after April 11th is good. (Thanks @Gpaw, I think it was, that showed me) I like to wait until about a week before the full moon for fresh seeds, but I would go a bit earlier with those old seeds.
@rootfarmer a supermoon will probably be the best chance you have to germinate anything old. Perfect timing.

I absolutely love stuff like this. Lunar cycles are, in so many ways, tied to reproduction. It’s fascinating that there isn’t more research into it?

So much knowledge lost over the years to intolerance and arrogance. A friend of mine is big I ti Dave Matthews, I can get into it once and a while but one line of the song Dreaming Tree really hits me, “Progress takes away, what forever took to find”. That’s one of those things that for me expresses so much with a single thought.
One of the things I really love about this community is the pervasive attitude that we need to work to preserve what progress threatens to take away from us, to seek that which may not be truly gone, and study and explore some of those old practices(growing,harvesting, curing, processing) that may have more scientific or practical basis than they are given credit for in modern times.
Freak on Freakers!

Scientists and the companies they work for, would rather that you have to spend money for good germination rates…the old ways are proven in many things. Often when I learn a “new” old trick, I’m astonished it was ever forgotten or put on the back burner . They often work better than advanced modern methods.
Yup. So true.

I just copped some and am smoking right now as I type this. I’m high as shit lol. Smells very earthy/herbal with a very slight musky/fruity undertone. Taste is a bit more sweet but still earthy with a fruity undertone that is not quite citrus but similar.
Pretty dense too. The high is strong but not overpowering, definitely energizing because I was a bit fatigued before smoking.

Blackberry spacewreck? Any luck with those seeds from Africa @District_Flora ?

Yeah, he said max 6 weeks and we’re coming up on that mark in about a week and a half. I expect it to be more like 8 weeks with USPS but we shall see, hoping we both get them in!

To be honest, I was a bit concerned about his method of shipping but I’m assuming he’s done this before with success

Quick question here, why are you making beans that are still being made by the original breeder?

Which ones? I think those spacewreck were headstash …
Spacewreck still made by snow and still for sale.
And so is most all of snows work on your freakers list either still being made or still being sold by him.

Pretty sure the bulk of the stuff is discontinued, though some can still be found. @Guitarzan knows the information on that one, and told snowhigh what we would be doing. Snowhigh was ok with it.
He told me he would be reproducing Devil’s tits in a couple years, and Durban too.

I understand how most are thinking these days, I bought I’m doing what i please But to his loss.
This is like taking money from an old man with brain cancer.
Which he is and has.
We have not only his permission but his blessing. He’s happy to know a lot of his stuff will be preserved. He has MS.

First I’ve heard of MS.
And that’s cool carry on.

Maybe i screwed up. Could have sworn he told me ms. God i hope he doesn’t have both.

Fuck. Just looked. He said ms. He has cancer too? That’s shitty. He’s put out a tremendous amount of great genetics. I hope he can keep his energy a while longer and put out some more.

Poor guy. Perhaps MS is some type of cancer I don’t know about? I didn’t want to pry by asking him, but on the other hand I didn’t want him to think I didn’t care either. Tough one When someone tells you that they are sick. When I’m sick( well, in pain…dont get sick)I don’t usually like to talk about it. I like to think about other things.
We wouldn’t want to do anything to screw SnowHigh over.
