I bought these seeds from the Canadian bank whose name can not be spoken back in 2005. I valued these too much to screw up for so long, that it's now 12 years later. Three out of five sprouted. The other two didn't germinate.

How were they stored all these years?

I would love to see a journal on these. Nice work keeping them viable after 12 years!

My collection has always been kept in the fridge, in small glass vials with sterilized cotton.

I up-potted these several weeks ago into a soil mix that might be too rich. Very slow growing, very small at four nodes with the lowest leaves burned at the tips. I hope to figure a way to keep them alive for a journal.

This is why I put off planting them for so long. 3 weeks in and I'm in trouble already.

The soil is my own creation of Pro-Mix HP, castings, Axis, 4-4-6 dry fert and rock dust.

The burn hasn't spread to the new growth, but the new is slow and small. It's as if the root zone isn't expanding since I haven't watered in a week and the one gallon pots still have heft in them.

This is what the three Flo looked like before I decided to mainline them to force them to produce side branches. So far, there were only light green specs at the nodes.

If it works, I'll post pics. If not, we'll forget this happened.

I held on to these seeds for so long because I was afraid I'd do this to them. D'oh!

Don't feel bad. You might do ok with them yet. Flo is a bit finicky and slow on the roots. Low feed, and keep them on the dry side should help some. theres plenty of flo seed around still too. Mother plant too.

I think I have a dozen or so seeds left. One was a male but such a freak I didn't harvest any pollen from him.

My guess is that they are pulling P from the lower leaves since this started low and is moving up after several weeks of flowering. I'm actually going to top dress with high P guano. Fingers crossed.
