I know of a similar experience trying to grow out some Swt#3 F2's that were about 7 years old. Many seeds didn't germ at all, of the seeds that did germ half only had cotyledons with no proper leaves. Only a few had normal growth. I'm confident the problem was the seeds being too old.about sw3 . Mine happened the same. One of them didn't have second pair of leaves and stands there just with cotyledons...ouch!
the other 3 mutants are slowly vegging, but got a normal asset of new leaves.
2 are doing fine.
can't wait for the smell to show...
Way to save your girl the gnome. I hope you get the male you want for making more seeds.
The Gnome glad you still got that female going at the very least.
