Shakin' off the rust

I think these beans are full on duds. I talked to a buddy yesterday who reminded me that a pack of Tahoe dragon cookies I gave him all failed to germinate also.
I'm kinda stumped, they're 3 years old but have been kept in a cool spot in my basement. Wondering if they got excessively hot during shipping or something? Either way that kinda sucks and doesn't bode well for my Dragons flame stash. I've got 5 other packs here that I'm now doubtful will germinate.

Lame

So looks like I'll need to get some more beans.

I know your new here and If you need a hand with germination techniques there are a few folks here that can help.....lol....you need a ...Vertical Germinator a 3D printed wonder box that pops seeds straight up so planting is a breeze....you may have to make friends with the right folks but if you keep your eye out for them, they are the go to germinating tool found only here at the club.....lol

I draw the line at 3d printed vertical seed germinators bruh. Floraflex caps was one thing, but this is too far. 🤣

I would try the others.
I got older DFG seeds from SSHZ and all I have tried popped so far.

Tempted. I probably will just to see what happens but I recieved all the seed packs in the same delivery. 0/24 so far isn't a good indication that the rest will do any better. Only thing I can think of is these must have experienced some kinda catastrophic heat exposure in delivery or something. Or they were intercepted and irradiated haha. But that's probably just my tinfoil being done up a bit too tight.

Well you've been away for a while I thought you may want the latest gadgets. I don't know if your aware of this at all but to be in the Cool club you have to use the smoking tips. I bought a pack used them twice....I just don't fit in I guess.1710540181250.png
 
Well... 8 days and no german nation. Seeds are starting to develop a touch of mold on them, so I guess that's that for the dragons flame stash. 20240318_114234.jpg

Switching gears to a new plan. Seeing as our season is so short here, I'm going to give autoflowers a shot.

@Mr.GreenthumbOG was kind enough to send me a few lemon pie autos and a sample of his latest crop, (fucking deadly pot btw MrG!) And another buddy of mine contributed UK cheese and Ultra Mass autos.
Should be interesting! But I'm going to wait a couple weeks until we get into some consistently nicer weather to rock these.
Nice to know they're all female! Haha.20240318_114042.jpg

I’m along for the ride, interested to see how they do for you outside, what’s the game plan for getting them to the finish line? Pots and nutes and stuff, dirtbag back to organics?😆

I think I'll probably wait until we have temps in the high teens before I get them going, but I'll start them in solos or similar small pots, then ill put em into 3 gallon pots of promix. Tentative game plan lol.
I have a nice sunny spot in the front yard to grow them. Probably put them in the shed for the last week of flowering so I can run the AC and drop temps on them before chop.
 
I would plant auto seeds in final pot.
The one time I planted autos on purpose it was in solos.
@2 weeks I upped them to 3 g.
When they were done I could pull the solo cup of roots out of the 3g~!
Since then I believe that if the roots hit a stop they are done.

The final container planting is a myth, you maybe had problems with letting it get too root bound in a solo, and not massaging the roots into their new pot. Once roots circle tight, they need some human manipulation. Autos can be finicky tho, hard the predict how the ruderalis inbreeding will behave.
 
Nice man.got anymore you can throw in as backups just incase uno something happens to one of them.
 
I didn't get to see that show but I did get to see them at the Offramp in Seattle in July/1990. I also got to see them in L.A. when White Zombie opened for them. Got to meet them through Christ Novoselic from NIrvana.

I'd give my left nut to go back in time and hang out with Layne and Mike Starr back in the early 90's. That's awesome man!
 
Nice work man. Always nice to have tools on hand that make the job go smooth.

I'm getting blazed as fuck and making super poutine for 420 dinner with curds, jalapeño jack, homemade bacon bits, green onion and chives. Gonna get fat tonight!

Why do you think this happened? Shocked that not even one of em germed. I never fk around with paper towel method, shot glass method, etc. I just stick em in some soil and let em go, more natural than the other methods imo. So far I have had pretty good germ rates this way. Either way...I think this auto grow will be epic! No more worrying about late season weather cuz they will be done in no time :D. Im partial to cheese strains so Im curious to see how that one turns out.

I'm not sure man, they weren't that old and they were kept in a cool spot. Thinking they must have got really hot during shipping or something. Including the seeds I gave to a friend, 0/36 germinated, so something must have happened to completely sterilize them.

I talked to Jeff on discord about the Garlic Stash cause I had similar issues. He said anything crossed to Dragons Stash was made outside in Oregon and the shells are super thick.
I had to take the garlic stash seeds and crack them with my teeth and then all of them grew, but prior to that, it was dud after dud after dud.

That's bizarre. I've never had problems getting his seeds to germinate before and a bunch of it was dragons crosses. But who knows.. find it weird though.
 
So cute when they're young. 4 of them are up with open cotyledons, 2 have their first set of true leaves out. Just waiting on one cheese and one lemon pie to shed their shell.

Just giving them minimal water at the moment, but I'll likely soak the cups in the next couple days.

Super stealth grow! Backlit computer monitor? Seems legit, no way anyone would suspect the jungle that exists behind my work station. Lol.

Gave them their first full watering today. One of the lemon pie just broke the surface and then died sadly, RIP lemon pie. And one of the cheese is frozen at the cotyledon stage for some odd reason. Funky bean.
The other 2 ultra mass, 1 cheese and 1 lemon pie are doing as good as can be expected for my shamefully half assed approach to growing cannabis. Couple more weeks and I'll start getting them used to the great outdoors.

I think I'll be out your way in August, I have to be in Sechelt for a long time buddies celebration of life get together. Died Easter weekend after a rough couple of years. I won't have time for much I think it will be a 4 day return trip, Just across the water from you but that fkin ferry time will be too much back and forth in the time I'll have. I can only pack an oz on the plane so I'm at a 4-5 day max if I conserve and I don't think I'll be conserving ....

Sorry to hear about your friend, man. That sounds like it'll be a wild round trip burning through an oz in 4-5 days lol. Fwiw the last time I flew back to NS I brought an Oz of weed and an Oz of hash with me all vac sealed in the same bag. Airport people don't give a shit, one lady in Nanaimo on the first flight even said "oooh, looks good!" When she pulled it out of my carry on bag lol.
