I ran some Producers overstock gear about two or three years ago, both Querkle and JTR and the germ rates were not 100% but maybe 85 to 90% only the occasional seed did not pop, but I have been hearing from a lot of people that have the producers overstock that the germ rates are getting lower more recently and Iāve even seen someone only get a couple plants out of one of the 15 packs of Dairy Queen.
I have a lot of the strains on that list, near the whole list actually, so I hope my luck is better, especially because some of these Subcool originals I never got to grow back when he was still around.
Best of luck yāall and if germ rates are decent on my subcool stuff I will definitely be making F2ās and circulating cuts in U.S.A. if folks are interested.
And just cuz I miss hearing him say it at the end of the Weednerd showā¦
HAVE A DANK DAY!

Just plain water(tap). When I get up, I will soak 3(3rd dimension) and 3 (cherry cordial). Will get a better idea on germ rate.

0/3 on the deep purple so far. 48hrs. so im guessing these seeds were not stored in a fridge at genetic supplyā¦
my bodhi appy crosses are still popping at 100% being in the fridge. 2/2 on the fuzz, 2/2 on mountain temple.

Youāre making me think I need to go ahead and pop my produces overstock gear that I have and try to salvage a couple plants out of them.
Iāve had packs over 10 years old that were not stored in the fridge pop just fine so it makes me wonder how they were stored plus how the germ rates were when they were even younger seedsā¦

Yeah I have no idea. But so far it doesnāt seem too good. Will know with the others in 24-48hrs. Then Iāll toss packs in at a time. Lol.

Maybe try adding a catalyst. Pick up some Botanicare Liquid Karma and add 5ml/gal to the water youāre using for germination. Itāll up your germ rates.

Ouch whatās 5ml/gal divided into 25ml(per shot glass). Just kidding Iāll get some and mix a batch up.
list shows 197 beans left from producers overstock. so we have a chance to get one at least. haha

That sounds like my list, I have probably 2 to 300 producers overstock beans total so surely Iāll get a couple plants out of thoseā¦
I have over 50 Querkle and over 50 3-D let alone all the other strains I have in 15 packs and a couple strains I have double packs of.
Total seed collection is probably near 225-250 strains I need another lifetime to grow all these out. Lol.

Never ran or really saw much of his gear, but people seem to love it, so I hope you all get these beans to pop. Would suck to have so many dud packs. Best of luck with them!!

If you guys ever need someone to run something from those vaults, let me know. Hahaha Iām a little full now, but Iāll have space soon enough. Those Lime Berry Megas are some lanky spaced out plants @Slammedsonoma420. Hoping for at least one female. Really want to see how strong the smoke is that he says is so strong.

Thatās for sure. Specially when they were purchased not long ago. The seller just realized they were not viable anymore and pulled them off their website.
I canāt say I would recommend geneticsupply.com after this.

Iām sorry to hear about the low germination rates Brother.
I hope out of everything people bought from them under producers overstock some are at least partially viable.
But after I had two Norstar strains go full hermi on me last year into early this year, and not just a few nanners, more like completely intersex clusters of balls forming around week 3-4 flower, I canāt say I completely trust genetic supply, I used to love them, but that testing experience left a bad taste in my mouth.
I have another buddy who tested for them, and he has a much bigger grow and his Norstar testers also went full hermi and seeded all his other strains that didnāt hermi just like my experience. When we told them about the issues, it seemed like it wasnāt what they wanted to hear, and they released the strains before getting all the test reports back, etc.
Not trying to ever bash anyone or anything. Or take business away from them, but I had a pretty bad experience and was treated like it was my fault when the plants went hermi, I know for a fact everything else in those grows was genetically stable except their test gear, and they still released it months before some test reports were back in their handsā¦
Be careful yāall this seed industry is full of BS and scams. A place like OG is seriously crucial to the sharing and preservation of countless quality genetics. Practically invaluable.
I feel at times that genetic supply was kind of in a way taking advantage of guys like me who wanted subs old seed stock after he had passed, using our reminiscence and memories against us lol but Iām just a guy in Florida with a 5x5 flower and a 3x3 veg, and I have nothing to gain by stating this, I just thought I should share my experiences with them as well.
Have a good day everyone!
