Had a guy i work with gift me what he claims to be 30+ year old seeds from his dad who is now passed on. The other guys that grew the line with him are gone from this world to. His son (my coworker) is the only other person in possession of these seeds. The coworker grew up with his dad filling the house with these genetics and was a pot dealer for a good portion of his life while cannabis was illegal in canada and after legalization (grey market). After meeting his present long term girlfriend she not only got him away from dealing but consuming all together. He gifted me roughly 25 seeds. Just popping a few to see what they are like and verify my co-worker didnt just give me crop king seeds as a joke. His dad exclusively grew this line cuz it didnt make him cough and he claims these seeds are over 30 years old. I hit them with GA3.
A good sign is there is very old particle’s of plant material in the bag he gave me, hopefuly GA3 will draw them out of there shell. Cant see why the dude would lie but im a skeptical guy. Maybe people on this site will notice traits in the offspring to try to verify possible lineage. I guess its over 30 seeds lol.
Ignorant new guy here with some not as old but old seeds to work with (2005-2012), what is GA3?
Gibberellic Acid =GA3
An aggressive plant hormone that helps activate dormant seed.
(Tricky shit to use correctly…)

Im not a “professional” but grew up bassically on a farm growing everything, gardening is my hobby and cannabis has been part of that since i was 15 years old. It is a natural plant growth regulator that can supplement the degeneration of natural GA3 from the seed through a outside source. It is not exactly water soluble but dose work in solution. Stimulates growth and can be used to flip plants as well (thats the more complex stuff). Flipping plants is touchy, getting seeds to pop is easier. Ive popped belladonna (hard to germinate) with GA3.
An easy way to use it is to incorporate aloe leaves in your germination. After soaking for a few hours in declorinated water with a 1/15 solution of drug store hydrogen peroxide then take your seeds and make a slice in the aloe leaf.
Take the seeds and place them in the slit for several hours. There is GA3 in the aloe gunk in the leaf. After that I place my seeds in a dish with worm castings or fresh worm castings. The dish then shielded from high heat by paper goes onto my modem covered after spraying water on the dish. Watch for tails within about 2-3 days. Pretty high rate of germination.
Thats deadly. Ive never run into problems with GA3 isolate but I’d definently try a more natural method. The chemical dose not like to disolve in water very well.
