This was a seed that I had bought from a friend six years prior to germination. I had it stored in the crisper of the fridge, in a zip lock bag, for six years before I popped it in the paper towel. Friend I got it from was a trusted source and he said it was Big Bud Feminized, but never got any idea of the breeder. I considered this my practice run before starting to buy seeds, as my state had recently legalized home cultivation.
