Hello friends! This will be the official thread of my documentation of the Supernatural preservation.
Supernatural is GrapeGod x The Flav
This will be my biggest labor of love and a life long project of mine to ensure my favorite strain lives on. @JAWS had a single pack available who was generous enough to trade these gems. I will be sending him back the offspring of the F2s as well so my good friend can still have some Supernat back in his masters list.
Now germinating 15+ year old seeds is the animal I must tackle. I’ve got 3% hydrogen peroxide as well as seaweed extract.
My pollination method is pretty much open pollination with a tent full of Supernatural. However I’ve been told she can be stubborn with pollen so I want to be prepared for any curveballs with emergency backup plans. Does anyone think the open pollination method would be best for this method given how I only have 11 supernatural and I’d like to handle them with the utmost care.
This will be great to see, I’d OP myself and I like to pre soak old seeds in some form of kelp extract a cheap and easy to find product that works is Botanicare Liquid Karma but see lots of other stuff used from water and peroxide to other methods like @JohnnyPotseed uses an awesome earthworm casting technique
I use the liquid karma at 5ml/gal to soak the seeds by the way
As much as I’d like to. Finding this pack was very difficult enough. I’d really love to get this ball rolling. Anyone else agree and just put a pause to this until I find more supernat?
It took @DougDawson 3-4 packs of BMR to finally be able to complete the Co Op run. Be patient, more will appear. Come on OG, who’s got a pack tucked away?
This is wise advice as well, that’s kind of what happened with the Vortex F1’s I donated to dirtwizard as that project already had 1-2 donors before I joined OG if I’m not mistaken, but waiting made it fully blossom starting enough seeds to guarantee the success of the F2s
But I know how you feel about just wanting to make more seeds after you hunted them down for so long, either way patience will help you either germ these or find the rest that could be around the corner!
Years. Literally years. Haha. I’ve been chasing after it in seed form since I started collecting seeds of all kinds back in 2012-15 which was how I got a few rare gems from friends and friends of my sister in Seattle and LA throughout the years. Which was how I ended up smoking some supernatural that one of her buddies gifted her at the time. Was also the first strain I smoked that got me absolutely blitzed.
This is a very fair point my friends. I really don’t want to mess up as this strain is far too important for me to squander this huge opportunity. I just hope there is someone out there that is willing to part with their pack or at least a few seeds from it.
I wouldn’t worry too much, 11 seeds is plenty if they germinate for you. If they don’t then waiting wont make any difference. If it were me I would get to germinating them. You can always take clones if you don’t get great germ rates and continue looking. Besides, might be weird taking someone else’s rare pack and then getting 11/11 germinating so you don’t need them. Just a thought.
I’ll toss some nice things in as well if we can locate a pack on here for trade, I have lots so whatever that person is looking for, I’ll be happy to help!
Heck yeah, friend. I mean business when it comes to this project. I can’t wait to show you guys and share some old genetics and to find the grapiest of the grape! thank you for the support!
Well Friends I’ve got a lot to consider and mull over. Thank you @DougDawson for the input as well! Now it’s time to do some serious thinking while staring at this pack of seeds lol!
thank you for the support!
