(Pics on Pg.2)

I've had a few packs of beans sitting in my fridge for a while now.... The oldest of which will hit it's 4th birthday soon, lol! These are a pack of London Memories by Magus Genetics, I think they are now called 'Motivation' and supposed to be done in 56 days, a cross of sensi star and warlock.

Also had 2 types of OG Kush S1's (6 of each) - These are the youngest of the bunch... probably 9 months or so old. To finish up I have 5 AK47's that are also near 4 years old.

Hoping to do a bit of pollen chucking if I get a good AK47 male. I will hit the OG KushS1's with some AK jizz Skeet Skeet All these seeds were germed in shot glasses, got 10/10 London Memories, 5/5 AK47, 5/6 OG KushS1's...

Since planting them up I managed to rip the head of one of the OG Kush's heads off
All the rest have either popped out or are on their way up out the soil.

3 days since putting in shot glass




Veg pics are boring I know, just for my own records... Should have something to post in a few weeks time

Please smoke a bowl while you wait

Hey, your picture link is broken.

Using any special techniques to pop those old beans?

[got a light]

have you decided what to replace that gap in the fridge with ?

[~Shhh~]

Whooops Not sure what happened to the pics I'll post a couple of them today 4 days from germinating in shot glass...

@laughing moon, nahh dude I just dumped em in a shot glass filled with bottled water, within 24 hours most had popped, first time germing like this but its really very simple KISS way to do it. All the old pips germinated within 36 hours funnily enough it was teh new seeds that didn't germ within 36 hours.... one still hasn't popped, but I planted it up all the same to see if it want's to do it's thing in soil instead...

@ got a light, sounds like I should grab a pack of bubblecheese asap from your descriptions bro The bubble hash from it sounds delightful.... Thanks for stopping by bro.... I will be refilling the seed spot in my fridge with Strawberry Cheesel (strawberry diesel x UK cheese - exodus cut, Hazeolope (Chocolope x G13 Haze father - Soma's cut and bubblecheese probably Good question btw

Pics-

3 days back in the shot glass (24hrs after putting them into glass)

Hay shhh awsome dude, I would like to give the OG a go somtime see what all the fuss is about

[Dr. Dank]

I just had 7 of 10 pop of gypsys magical mystery mix. These were a bou freebie I got 5 or 6 years ago. I still have high hopes for the other 3 seeds as its only been 3 days.

[~Shhh~]

W'sup BP & Dr. Dank... Good of you guys to drop by. Not much to show yet but hopefully I get a gem or two out of this lot.

Dr. Dank, I see you are also germing some old beans ay, good luck with the remaining 3... If mine are anything to go by u should be ok with those may just need some extra time?

I am using just 2 x 18w floro's to start them up... The colour is cool white 3500k temp or something like that... The fookin seedlings have really stretched alot under these shop lights. It's not a biggie really as I will just x-plant them deep into their new homes when the time comes, but I would like to know if it's down to the colour of the floro's or something else I done??

Most are currently on their 2nd set of true leaves.

Results of the seeds so far -

OG KUSHS1's - 6 germed in shot glass, I killed 1, 1 went crazy and didn't come up. 2 are up but look a lil weak, waiting on 1 more to show through dirt.

AK47 (circa 4 years old)- 5 germed in shot glass, 4 good healthy fast growing seedlings. 1 runt

London memories (circa 4 years old) - 10 germed in shot glass, 9 healthy fast growing seedlings. 1 still runt still hasn't shed shell.

Apart from dropping the floro and damaging stem of 1 of the London Memories (Warlock x Sensi Star) well actually near breaking the stem in half these 4 year old seeds are blasting along as are the AK's the poor performer thus far are the OG KushS1's hope the 3 I have managed to get to seedling stage end up special. They look pretty weak right now though.

BTW the floro's are usually right above seedlings, just moved em for pics...

Plan to do some crosses of AK47 and OG KushS1's for the bay if I get a good stud from these.

tag, getting a front seat for this one. sounds like a nice selection to play around with. i think the shop lights just tend to cause seeds to pop like that. cool white is the blue one, you might want to alternate between cool white and warm white. although for vegging it should be ok with just cool white. there again, i'm no expert on t5's. i know that the least stretchy seedlings i popped were the ones done under a blue spectrum 250 watt mh. leaves got big right away and stems stayed relatively short.

all the best for this run, may you have lots of ladies

[~Shhh~]

Hey GM, hope u have lots of popcorn as this might be a long show
Well not too long... They will get another 10 -14 days before getting flipped over to 12/12 With some Cheese clones I finally managed to snag... not like the last lot of supposed blue cheese! Less said about that the better, lol...

Noticed something a lil odd with one of these London Memories the other day, seems one of them is a twin... the twin has some weird ass growth, one cotyledon side facing leaves as apposed to upward. Snapped a few pics... Also grabbed another shop light in case they were wanting a lil mo light with all the stretching. I read the primary causes are heat and being too moist though??

[gaiusmarius]

so you plan to flower them quite early? will be fun to see.
you saw how my seedlings took off, they were tinny when i went 12/12.

but i do think it's probably better to flower out clones of the strain for a true view on the quality. but in the end it doesn't matter whether you do a clone first or keep a clone and do the seedling first. are you even planning to keep the genetics?
