wish i would have tried that with my 7-8 year old black domina seeds but they were stored in a garage and the summer/winter cycles probably wrecked em anyways …

I ordered some of those seeds myself. Chimera has a nice protocol I’m going to try with mine. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?p=7826710&postcount=57

how much gibberellic acid is needed? i only see one listing on amazon.ca and it’s 10g for $35 including shipping, will that last a long time? is that a good price? maybe i could check amazon, but this is holland industries so i think a reliable company.
@MadScientist how much GA3 did you buy and how much was it? thanks!

If a seed is that old can always do a tissue culture. Think growing mushrooms but with plant matter instead of spores.

GA3 will do the trick man, without having to spend thousands on lab gear…

I got some Blue Moonshine Rocket Fuel from Steve as in Spice of Life and also some 15yr old Jack Herer from Sensi, and will have to be on top of my game to grow those, so, saving them for a later date man…
To answer your question, no i haven´t used it.

camomile tea is a very easy and cheap way to pop old seeds or those with a hard shell. camoile is fungi suppressive also.
Better use gloves when using hormones.
Be well.

interesting i’ve never heard that. i bought some seeds with a reported 50% germination rate so i’d like to increase it if possible, then i can make more.

I’m going to try fulvic acid for my next round of Ancestral Skunk. See if I can get better than 10% I got from those 20+ year old seeds. This was a recommendation from Clackamas Coots.
