Hey @SWIM_Yenobi , I’ve been following along and really enjoy the way you do your focused seed making. I’d love to do a seed swap with you, if you’re alright with sending up north.

This is not my entire vault but everything I’m going to use to create my beginning stock. I have a temperature controlled Seed Vault Mini fridge build I’ll share. I’d like to get some of my older gear preserved and vaulted as quickly as possible. Working on setting up a system to work on multiple preservations at a time.
At 4 months a project that is north of 4 years of work just in individual preservations if I stay at only one tent. I’m going to go to 3 tents in my next build. Technically 5 w/ 1-Veg+Clone and 1-Drying tent. I’m waiting to buy other equiptment. I will post Specs.

90’s Seed Project:
72 Hours after drop-
I stopped the separation. At this point I just want them to germinate. After 72 hours I had only 3 of all these seeds crack but none have given a tail. The ones opened prior to germination don’t have any progress either but they’re not rotted. I moved everything into the worm castings a moment ago after manually removing all seed casings. Hopefully I can get a few of these to pop but this will be my last attempt before moving to tissue culture besides the monster garden kit. I will be ordering the monster garden old seed kit this weekend.
Here you can see a couple of the embryos. None of the first test made it.
Sour Diesel Project Update:
Notes Only
Focused breeders-
These are the standouts (Circles). The first here is several others I will keep for multiple reasons and use but these all posses some traits (it would be better to say they posses the least negative traits) I would like to see in the gene pool moving forward personally.

90’s Mr.Nice Stock Project:
So far nothing has germinated so I will be putting this project on hold. I will build a small TC setup for this and other old seeds I collect. I have a new setup build and concentrate setup to finish before then.
Seedstock and Orders:
Lost an order for the Nacho El 2nd pack. I will never use or recommend GlassMMJpro. Terrible business. Everything else will be here soon and I’ll photo breeding stock.
Sour Diesel Project:
Will be pushing all keeper expressions to 12 weeks. I will be germinating the Sour Diesel IBL-Stonefarm next weekend. I setup a Reveg area and will begin harvesting 80%~ mass from non-keepers & non-breeders when a majority of the seeds begin exposing then moving to reveg (in case they cure into something worth keeping or moving forward.). The old red sours are ready. They all developed an extremely sour fruitiness much like again Zkittles.
Purple Cannabis- I personally am not a fan of purple cannabis it tends to be incredibly narcotic to me. Anthocyanins do not photosynthesize as effectively as chlorophyll so when chlorophyll degrades exposing anthocyanins the plant cannot essentially grow as effectively as chlorophyll spectrum material. I researched a while ago when everything was still more hypothetical and logged it with product testing for “purpling product and methods” on RIU such as PurpleMaxx and Cold temps, when I would chase true purple due to its higher sales point when I did such activities. The MMB is still around due to it exceptional terp profile of new tennis ball.
Here is some old concentrate photos of mine I grabbed from older logs to give a break in the words. I only do everything live these days and am currently looking for a plant that will translate effectively with Jar Tek. Also want to experiment with diamonds processing.

Current Update. I brought the temp int this room to 42F to take this picture as quickly as possible. When the final part arrives I do not plan to pull these out again until germination. This is only a part of my vault but all I plan on using or preserving for now.
Germinating Stonefarm tomorrow.
Sour Diesel Project:
Removed my first expression displaying late flowering “Nanners” intersex traits.
Bruce Banner x Sour Diesel #1
I will be getting rid of these seeds at a local mountain.
Harvested and Culled Expressions:
(Stable) Will not be revegging every expression. I’m going to perform selections based off personal preference and classic references. I will be culling the rest of the expressions that do not receive breeder/keeper titles.
Current planned expressions to be Revegged and Keeper Count:
Breeders count contain keepers and breeders
Karma- x5 Breeders (x2 Keepers)
Top Dawg-x3 Breeders (x2 Keeper -1-Sour OG) (x4 Revegging total)
Piffcoast- x2/x2
Katsu- x0/x0
Old School- x0/x0
BB x SD- x0/x0
Katsu #2- Grapefruit Sour. Good seed producer and you can tell it put most of its energy it that. Finished Quickest.

Stonefarm~
I put the 8 that seemed ready into red solos with starting media I made using 60/20/20 (Mostly peat starting mix/ EWC/Perlite) didn’t photograph yet but when I checked this morning they appeared okay. I will likely have to manually remove several seed casings. They seem to be having some trouble.
All 11 germinated. I only started the 8 that were ready.

I find that not planting the seed enough or not covering it enough with moist soil, leads to the helmet thing.

Exactly.
It turns into a ‘bear trap’ when the hinge dries out.
I use a cheap syringe to place a drop of water to get past that issue.

I buried them about a 1/3”-1/2” deep. Only one removed its own casing of 6. I manually removed the casing and membrane. 2 haven’t broken ground yet and I just started the last 3. 1 I was able to remove casing and plant taproot. I have 7/11 above ground. I figured it was due to the being around a decade old and shell hardening.
Josey Bonsai training. I always use a red hot pair of scissors to do any cut.
I will be harvesting all of the diesel seed plants this weekend and begin revegging keepers and breeders.
Sour Diesel Project Males:
There is only certainty with the mother. The fathers again are likely Top Dawg BX4 & Karma Sowahh. I’d put it into ratios once I increased wind to 40/40/20 TD/K/PC. I can read males and each pot and use this to possibly narrow down initial donor.
*MSD- Mystery Sour
AJ x MSD (Not for Donation or Trade)
Midtown Madness B x MSD (Not for Donation or Trade until Reveg success.)
Don’t plan on working with any clonestock except to S1 for personal hunting stock so I will not ever release seeds made unless I popped the parent stock essentially (Excuse my first Mexican crosses.)

The longer I’m at this the more it all seems a bit recycled. A lot of todays varieties seems to be reworked ibls of European lines. Most American varieties I like tend to be eerily similar to NL, HP, Skunk, G13 x, Haze A/C expressions. For example I have seen OG and Chem expressions in Hashplant lines. Afghani lines in general carry these expressions un-worked. Sour is definitely skunk x. If you pull super skunk logs and old reviews it comparable. VSCs interaction with terps are what create these skunk/rubber expressions. Here is an old photo of Hashplant to compare to OG structure.
Another old line I think this was an NL5 Haze
Narrowed profiles over few generations.
Note:
Volatile Sulfur Compound begin degrading after curing so fresh after curing to one week into storage would be peak time to test for these profiles.

Sour Diesel Project Update:
Reveg Day 0~
Harvested today since I had the day off. Here is the final list of expressions moving forward. Some stuff has been mislabeled previously but I was able to follow from original lay point today on everything to verify.
Sowahh #10 (Keeper/Breeder)
Sour Diesel BX4 #7 (Breeder)
Sour Diesel BX4 #11 (Keeper/Breeder)
Upstate Sour #7 (Breeder)
Sowahh #6 (Keeper/Breeder)
Midtown Madness B (Keeper/Breeder)
Sour Diesel BX4 #8 (Breeder)
Sowahh #1 (Breeder)
Sour Diesel BX4 #3 (Breeder)
Upstate Sour #4 (Keeper/Breeder)
Sour Diesel BX4 #6 (Keeper/Breeder)
Sour Diesel BX4 #9 (Keeper/Breeder)
Sowahh #8 (Breeder)
Sowahh #5 (Keeper/Breeder)
Sowahh #3 (Breeder)
Sowahh #12 (Breeder)
Keeper is loosely termed here to reference the best of the breeders.
If this was a hunt there would be only 2 plants being kept or expressions I’d personally keep:
Karma- Sowahh #5 (Listed as 10 before.)
Top Dawg- Sour Diesel BX4 #6
I feel it is important to keep a complete profile as possible while removing undesirable traits through the culling process through multiple generations. “Keep the best, Cull the rest.”
Sour Diesel BX4 #11
Sowahh #6
Upstate Sour #4
Sour Diesel BX4 #6 (Has turned pungent, chemical gas, over rubber.)
Sour Diesel BX4 #9
Sowahh #5
Stonefarm Sour Diesel IBL 11/11~

It’s okay it just takes time for me to make my packaging and I was putting as many seeds as I could. Resends got my Mexican “F2” seedstock lower than I’d like but I wanted to complete every order. I will still likely do a donation post but I will be more selective and there will be no free follow ups or messages after I close it unless members have enough trust. It was an easily avoidable oversight and a lesson with my first donations. Most went well and most resends were understandable so it’s just a preventative measure.
