We made some S1s of the Champagne and the Green Crack. I germ tested them and they came out at just above 70%

Some of the seeds that never germed were completely empty inside. I talked to gypsy and he suggested pinch testing every seed which i do before making them available. So i sorted another 100 all pinch tested them all. Only 77% of the seeds germed. Not really acceptable to release in my eyes. So we are going to make another batch asap. Sorry for the news but i had to get it out there cuz its been bothering me for a few days. We might just have to stick with regular seeds so you guys get something to play with!

Peace
Koot.

Can you donate them as freebies or for the server fundraiser? I wouldn't mind 7/10 green crack

If you list them as 70% G.R. people will buy them anyways. Why not,you'll see

Make the packs bakers dozens then it will even out to 10.

I would definitely buy some green crack, even if the germ rate is 70%. Maybe throw a few extra seeds n there to compensate for the bad germ rate.

Did I just read S1 Green Crack? I'll take my chances with a 70% germ rate!

RESINvention · 02-12-2010, 06:08 AM

Hell yah, I'm with you all on that green crack at 7/10..

KOOT, to ease your conscience, why not let packs of 15 rip instead? Or Lower the price!

LOL I thought you were gonna say your line hermied or you lost your parent stock...

I say grow them out and see what you've got unless you have already tested s1's from either of these two plants. I personally wouldn't buy untested s1's regardless of germ rate but to each his/her own I guess. That being said I would love to have access to green crack in seed form so I say grow them out see what you have (assuming they haven't already been tested) and then wait for the next batch to come out with hopefully higher germ rates by the time your seeds are done you will have the test run done so you will know if they are worthy of release, again assuming they haven't already been tested which I don't know whether they have or not, so if they have ignore my comments. S1's don't always turn out as intended if you know what I mean. My opinion maybe slightly biased due to the fact that I am anxiously awaiting the revival of some spice of life strains you are working with. Of course the freebee option would be a good way to get them tested if they haven't already.
